They also gave us a complimentary desert that was enough to fill that sweet tooth craving after a savory meal, I believe it was chocolate cheesecake. Thanks!!

Typically I really enjoy Taste of India but hadn't been since pre-pandemic and stopped by on my…read morelast visit to Seattle. I'm not sure what happened on my last visit as the curries were on the colder side. When you arrive parking can be a bit difficult, there is a small parking lot out front, if that's full you'll need to find street park. The restaurant itself feels warm, casual, and bustling. Queen you walk in you have the option to sit on the backyard patio or in the dining room. We opted to sit in the dining room as it just felt more intimate and the vibe we were wanting for dinner. For our appetizer, we started with the Samosas (Two crispy pastries filled with your choice of freshly mixed vegetables or delicately spiced lean ground beef) which were excellent. Next we ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken. The naan and samosas showed up piping hot but the chicken tikka masala & butter chicken were cold. I probably should have said something as I was disappointed but was too hungry to care at that moment. If I'm in the Seattle area I may stop by Taste of India again.

It was pretty quick service and price are sooo much more reasonable than other food trucks nearby. The line was long but it moved pretty quickly. The portion might look small but it was hefty. I got the lamb kebab roll and the bhel puri. Flavor was spot on. They were addicting. The lamb was stuffed in the roll and it was soft and very easy to eat. Definitely want to try soft serve as it looks sooo good on their social media page. I definitely want to check out their store eventually but for now, food truck it is!

Honestly this place is great for a small snack anyway. We got the bhel puri (not pictured) and a lamb kebab roll. It was my first time ever having bhel puri and I liked it! I enjoyed nibbling on the rice puffs but found that I needed a protein or else I would get flavor fatigue. We ended up placing a second order for the lamb kebab roll, which was AMAZING. Lamb is already my favorite protein so I knew I was going to like it, but I didn't expect it to be so good. It was very well seasoned and even a little juicy. I wouldn't say I have a small appetite, but I found this one roll to be a perfect portion for lunch. Service: (5/5) It's a very casual spot so you order at the counter and bus everything yourself. They're very nice, no other notes needed!

I stopped by during a World Cup match, so most of the nearby bars were packed, but this restaurant was surprisingly quiet with only a few tables occupied. The décor is nice enough, but it didn't quite match the way the advertise. Unfortunately, the service was also underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it felt pretty lackluster, especially for a restaurant at this price point. I was expecting a more polished dining experience. The food was good, but it didn't wow me. My favorite dish was the Paneer, and the kofta was also enjoyable. One thing that stood out in a negative way was the presentation. For example, when our appetizer platter arrived, some of the dishes were awkwardly stacked or hanging over one another. It seemed like a small detail, but at this price, I expected more attention to presentation. Overall, the meal was solid, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. With so many great Indian restaurants nearby, I'm not sure I'd return.

Well better late than never I guess as we finally made it here and simply loved the food! I got my favorite when it comes to Indian cuisine which was the Chicken Vindaloo. It was wonderful! Steve liked his dish as well (though I can't quite remember what it is)! We got some Garlic Naan to go along with our meal. It was huge! But we chowed it down and loved every moment of it! From the bar which I think is called the Yeti Bar we got some Saffron infused cocktails. The one I picked was the Madras. It wad very good and this type of vodka added a great, unique dimension to the cocktail. We loved it! We to finish off this great meal we got some dessert with some deep fried goodness along with some cream. Yes, we had a fantastic meal here and really went all out by trying everything. Steve and I can't wait to come back and doing it all over again.

I was planning to take it with me while on my home (maybe an hour away given public transport) - however was hungry by the time order was ready. So asked politely if I can use one of the table to eat. The server/cashier said no right away. Which is fair - well within her rights but this place also appear to be a self service spot. I am not expecting to dine in here or use any utensils or cutlery. Just eat a burger. Anyways the burger itself was at best average. It wasn't bad - pretty edible but was smaller compared to other joints. There is a reason why Burger and Kebab hut despite having questionable hygienic standard is tough to beat for Indian Style Burgers. Talking about the ambience - the place is pretty nice. Good siting space and I liked the Rickshaw exhibition.

The kind where the food is comforting, the people are kind, and everything feels just a little more peaceful. The butter chicken is warm and rich in all the right ways, the biryani is full of beautiful, layered spices, and the naan is soft, fresh, and perfect for sharing. You can tell each dish is made with care. The team here is thoughtful and welcoming, and they make sure you have everything you need without ever making you feel rushed. That kind of service stays with you. And being so close to the Seattle waterfront makes it even nicer. It's a lovely place to enjoy a meal and slow down for a moment. If you're looking for Indian food in Seattle--especially around Westlake--this is a place where you'll feel right at home. I'll be back, and I think you might want to be, too.

I am excited to try the rest of the menu! The somas were crunchy on the outside, and full of potatoes, peas, and spices on the inside. The dipping sauces were quite complementary, especially the brown one (I am sure it has an actual name, not just "the brown one"...). The sweetness was nice with the heat of the samosa. The butter chicken was absolutely decadent and flavorful. I got a medium spice (3 stars), and not gonna lie, that might be my upper limit, and I can generally handle my spices. It was a flavorful spicy, not a burn-your-mouth-and-can't-taste kind of spicy, and with the rice and naan, it was not too strong. I am looking forward to going back and trying other dishes. I saw high chairs in the restaurant. The steps to the restaurant are steep, but I think there is an elevator tucked away somewhere in the building.

Ill send my friends with more spice tolerance over. 4 stars because the menu couldve been slightly more informative for folks who are less familiar with the cuisine.
