Worth it for not having to drive around looking for a rare street parking spot. We were seated right away and our server was a very friendly and funny gentleman. The food came out quickly and they were all delicious. So much flavors packed into each dish. The shrimp vindaloo had plump big shrimps. The chicken tikka marsala was buttery and smooth. The lamp chops dish had three thick lamb chops with juicy pink centers. We will be back when we're in the area again!

We walked right in with four people and immediately found prime real estate. Everyone knows that having four diners in a party allows for optimized sharing, along as everyone is down to clown. So we all picked a dish that spoke to us at a personal level. That's when we were floored by the level of service that Maharaja has to offer. Once our designated spokesperson relayed the dishes to the waitress, she paused and then made a counter offer... What if we could give you all of these and more at a discount? The gang was intrigued. We had inadvertently ordered some sort of party platter but in an a la carte fashion. The waitress took money out of her pocket to give us more food. A truly unparalleled opportunity to do right by the customer. Major applause to you (I hope this doesn't get you fired, and instead leads to increased business). These are the moments that you do not forget about as an enthusiast and avid promoter of the Seattle restaurant scene. I was blown away by the food as well. My experience with tandoori chicken in the past was that it can be dry and not pack the seasoning punch that you would expect from such a vibrant color. But this was quite the opposite, tender and juicy chicken that was exploding with flavor. The curries were also rich and deep in taste, with much more chicken than you get at many other establishments these days. I will 100% be back when I'm in West Seattle, and I would implore others to do so as well.

We were honestly shocked how poor the curries were. It's not like they tasted bad, but there was simply no depth of flavour, depth, nor proper array of flavours.

I have been going to Nirmal's for about a decade now. The restaurant itself is in a great location,…read morevery close to Pioneer Square Station and on the lovely brick street in the historic neighborhood. The interior has charm and is well-decorated to match the old building. The restaurant has always been a nice stop before events at the stadiums, or, in my recent case, a good lunch spot during jury duty (the thali was a nice chance to try various items on the menu). My partner and I were recently looking for local restaurants which can do catering for a large event - and preferably with a Bengali focused menu. Fortunately, we were in Pioneer Square around that time and stopped in at Nirmal's. Oliver, the owner, was making his rounds at tables checking in on guests; we decided to ask him about catering and he assured us it would be possible. He had Chef Sunit come out and meet us as well, who further assured us they would be able to handle it no problem. We exchanged numbers and began discussing possible menu options over text; Chef Sunit suggested we come visit in person to try a sample of the proposed menu. Over the course of a couple hours we got to try many dishes which are not on their typical menu; and which are generally hard to find in the Seattle area. It was clear from this point forward that Sunit & Oliver were the right team for our event. The event itself went off flawlessly with Nirmal's as the caterer. Many of our guests asked about where the food was from and we happily mentioned the restaurant and introduced our guests to the Nirmal's team. Sunit was on-site the whole time ensuring everything was operating smoothly. So, overall, a big thank you to the Nirmal's team, and we look forward to visiting the restaurant again soon to say thank-you in person.

It was still creamy and kinda tasted like they combined milk with the syrup that the canned lychees soak in.

We were really hungry and decided to join them as I've had this spot saved too as the reviews were pretty positive. They were definitely very popular but we were put on the waitlist but I think it would be helpful if they took peoples' numbers as apparently they would just shout it outside. We weren't aware as we went somewhere else to wait as it was very cold. When we arrived, a different employee started cleaning a table for us and we waited but then the employee who did put us down was frustrated with us as he called us and no one of us answered cause we were elsewhere. We weren't sure if we had a spot after that but luckily the employee who was cleaning was done and offered that spot. They also did drop a glass cup after cleaning nearby which was concerning but they did clean it up right away. Once we were seated, it took almost a half an hour to get some to take our order. Luckily we did get our water refilled decently but there were a few times where our empty glasses were seen and ignored. I definitely think there should be staff training as it was non-existent. I understand being busy but you're across the convention center so it should be expected. The music was also so low I didn't know it was even on, they have a loud fan going on and even their TVs have no volume. It's a pretty awkward ambiance, especially with how they try to look like they are a upscale restaurant. It did take some time to get food and it seems like the kitchen was frustrated too as I heard the bell signaling food being ready several times. The food was actually good, especially for the price. The portions are generous. We never had paratha but our friend recommended it so we got the aloo paratha while my boyfriend got their butter masala and I got their tikka masala extra hot. It wasn't really spicy at all, definitely nothing like what I've had at other Indian restaurants. The curries were flavorful with good pieces of chicken. We might return if we need something nearby but there are definitely better options that I would walk for.
