I love this restaurant! I had a wonderful date night here. The restaurant is super cute and welcoming. They had music playing and it was an immersive experience. The food was fresh, full of flavors and came out perfect. We ordered the samosas, garlic naan, Butter Chicken masala & grilled lamb boti and it was the perfect meal. The staff were so friendly and we appreciated their hospitality. read more

Pretty lacklustre quality Indian food, but we appreciated the vegan options. We ordered three dishes--a vindaloo with tofu, a house curry specialty with tofu, and an aloo gobi--with some roti on the side, all 4 out of 5 for spiciness. The food came quickly, but it became apparent after a few bites that the quality just wasn't there. The curries were quite watery, lacking depth of flavour, and proper integration. 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. Friendly service, reasonably priced, moderate portions. I wouldn't return unless I knew they totally revamped all the dishes / got a new chef. read more

The papri chaat had me in shock because of how yummy it was, BUT there was an effing mini mosquito in our rice. I thought that maybe it was the fried or onion or some other seasoning, but NO, that shiiii winked and moved bit by bit because it was a bug. I almost swallowed it, too, until I looked down while my high school best friend, Chooksty, talked about her day to me. Service was so dead. Rushing our orders and then serving it with attitude. It was so...offputting and made the experience at this restaurant even worse than it was. At least they knew to refill our water when it ran low, and to not interrupt when Chooksty and I were in deep conversation. I liked that the table had a glass top where the menus laid under so that you could order without having to flip through pages or scan a QR code. Truly innovative and I wish that I could rate this place higher like I wished that I could take the leftovers home, but the cons outweigh the pros so much so :( Also, the drive to this restaurant from Olympia, Washington had a pretty rainbow read more

Kanak Indian Curry is so good. I always order the Goa coconut curry with plain naan, and it never disappoints -- rich, flavorful, and honestly just chef's kiss. It's one of those dishes I crave and stick with because it's that good. The service is also a highlight. Everyone is super nice, attentive, and very accommodating, which makes the experience even better. The interior can feel a little tight depending on how busy it is, but it was totally fine and didn't bother us at all. Overall, great food and great service -- definitely a go-to spot for Indian food. read more

Stopped in with my daughter, was very impressed. Very convenient location. Lady met us right away at the door and sat us. They were very nice, answered all our questions (I have limited experience with Indian food). I had the Goa Coconut Curry (Lamb), daughter had Butter Masala (Chicken) and we split a garlic naan. We both enjoyed the meal very much, there was more than enough and we even brought some home. Recommend you give this a try. read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Kanak. Samosa Chaat, Palak Paneer, Mixed Grill, Garlic/Basil Naan were all delicious with nice presentation. My daughter also ordered a mango lassi...very good. Service was great, atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Price was decent and we went home with leftovers. We'll be back. read more

Please skip and instead grab a sandwich elsewhere. The food was rotten and had a stale-sour taste. The service is good but the chef needs to do a better job! read more

Great and comforting Indian Cuisine Restaurant! This restaurant doesn't fail me. I had their butter chicken and garlic naan and I loved the meal! The butter chicken soup was warm, flavorful, and savory. The chicken itself was cooked well, as it was tender and tasty. The garlic naan was good as well! Crispy and tasty. You can never go wrong with naan with your butter chicken! The service was good. The server was nice and helpful. They frequently filled up our water which was nice. The food didn't take long to make at all. The pricing of the food is fair for Indian cuisine. The ambiance is nice. The restaurant is well organized and clean. It's a very relaxing environment to enjoy your meal with your friends. Definitely recommend eating here! read more

I love Indian food. this place had good service and the food seemed was good. There were other folks here eating but it wasn't crowded. The ambience was nice and the waitresses were friendly. One waitress did have to go back and ask about the type of fish and a few things had to be repeated. She mentioned she was newer. It was a bit hard to find the restaurant because of how dark the street is and the toilet was dirty. The food was good but I've had better. They could use more salt and other spices. read more

We've gotten takeout from Kanak twice now and had great experiences. I got the Goa Coconut Curry with chicken - medium hot. It was great and perfect spice level for me. It comes with a good portion of rice that is the right rice to curry ratio. The garlic naan is also amazing. read more

Our last dine in experience was great! Efficient and fast service and the food was really yummy. They seem to have upped the portion sizes since my 2 other visits. Kind staff and I like the space as well. It's cozy but lots of seating - I've never had to wait. Delicious food, very flavorful and filling. I like the palek paneer and the malai koftah a lot , but the butter masala is also delish. Superior garlic naan! I'm glad business seems to be doing well. Will be back! read more

Food was authentic Punjabi tasting. It was great. Service was quick and good. Enjoyed the experience.

Found a bug in the food. It looked like a mosquito unfortunately. The chaat was good but the server was rude when we asked about the dishes serving portion. The serving size of the Papri chat was huge. It was good. But the serving size of the entree is smaller compared to other Indian restaurants I have been to. read more

Right across the street from me is a low-key Indian spot that's become the go-to for most of the Amazonian Indian crew in my building--and for good reason. A lot of them swear there's no good Indian food in Seattle, but this place hits all the boxes on flavor and price. We like it spicy, so we asked for level 3-5... which led to a hilarious moment when the server said, "There is no level 5, the scale stops at 3." Apparently we overshot--but thankfully, our heat tolerance is solid, and honestly, the fire made it even better. Standouts: the lamb biryani (loaded with flavor), lentil dal, and tandoori chicken--all legit, bold, and satisfying. The vibe inside is pretty basic, and the layout/takeout flow could definitely use some love, but the food and service more than make up for it. If you're craving Indian that's both flavorful and affordable, this place is absolutely worth a shot. read more

Fantastic food and ambience. Highly recommend the Shahi Paneer and Onion Kulcha combination. Very nice Chai to top of the meal is blissful.

overall food was pretty good. honestly, the reason why I'm giving it three stars are the gnats and ambiance. There were gnats "everywhere" (maybe not everywhere, but enough for me to take notice), landing on my wine, landing in the mango lassi. the pakora were good and hot. mango lassi was good. naan came out hot and fresh. butter chicken was pretty good but not the best i've had. nice area and good service for sure. everyone is very nice. the ambiance is lacking and the gnats are annoying, off putting, otherwise would give it 4 stars. nice staff. street parking. prices are okay too. read more

The ambiance is quite clean and well-lit. Nice causal dinner area. The service was alright, nothing too good or bad. I liked that they filled our water often but near the end of our meal, it seemed like they forgot about us since we eventually had to call them over for the check. 5/5 Mango Lassi Truthfully, I think it is a bit difficult to mess up a mango lassi. I am also not very picky on mango lassis. It has a good sweetness to it-- not overalls sweet. Good mango flavor that doesn't taste too artificial 5/5 Garlic Naan Good sized garlic naan for sharing. I was a fan of the bits of garlic which made it more flavorful. 4/5 Butter Masala (Chicken) Overall the flavor was good. It has a good sweetness to it but isn't overpowering. Decent portion size. My only complaint is that the chicken tasted a bit off? I can't really explain it besides it tasted a bit fishy. 4/5 Tikka Masala (Chicken) Similar taste to the butter masala but more savory than sweet. Again, only complaint was regarding the chicken that had a fishy taste I still prefer Cedar's in UDistrict for Indian food and would most likely go there again rather than here. They have larger portions and better service for similar prices. read more

It is the best Indian food in Seattle according to our friend that exclusively eats Indian. I suggest the Karahi Chicken. They also have the best tandoor naan I have ever tasted. Food came out quick for the amount that we ordered. Inside was modern and cool. Great! read more

We were a group of indians and non-indians who eat Indian food very frequently. The samosas, naan, and palak paneer were all very good. The rest of our entrees were not good to be honest. It was the service that was quite bad. read more

I was in Seattle for a couple days and just wanted something really good and not too expensive. I hopped on Yelp and the reviews lead me to the right place. The butter chicken was delicious! It wasn't as spicy as I'm use to but between the two of us we inhaled it like nobodies business Samosas so good we ended up ordering another to go. I believe they came with a green sauce, get that! read more

Kanak Indian Cuisine - Splendid Samosa - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food - the food was quite good. I appreciated the customizability of the food options. Most had several vegetarian and/or vegan options. Most of the usual choices were there along with a few unique ones. I had palak paneer and my partner had the butter masala chicken. We both had chai and garlic naan. I think the chai and naan were my favorite part of the meal, though I did enjoy my main course. They did serve rice with the meal as well. Service - very attentive and polite. They answered my questions to confirm vegetarian items and portion sizes. They were also efficient in taking our order and bringing out items. Ambiance - it's a smaller spot but it's a nicely decorated spot with white table linens and such. Definitely enough for a date night without feeling snobby. The prices were very very reasonable for Seattle too. I would say good quality for value and we would return. read more

Clean and modern restaurant near pikes market. This place has all the Indian dishes you could want. We got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Medium spice had a nice kick that lingered in your mouth for a little bit. Not too spicy, just right with lots of flavor! The rice paired well with the curry and garlic naan was cooked evenly without burnt marks. Service was friendly and we got the food fast. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem while visiting Seattle. So glad we did because everything was amazing and so affordable. We ordered the vegetable samosas (2 for $6), goa coconut curry with chicken ($17), garlic naan ($4), lamb naan ($7), and kulfi for dessert ($6). The service was exceptional as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great food, had a good time, aux is trash tho. Put some Indian voice line on loop for 45 min

Bounteous goodness for four people. Good selection to choose from. Our visitors loved it too.

Food here was great! Got the madras curry with chicken, garlic naan, appetizer sampler, a mango lassi, and a sweet lassi to share with my boyfriend. The madras curry was very flavorful and chicken pieces were tender, a decent portion as well. The appetizer sampler was a perfect way to try a couple of different things. The mango lassi was a great consistency and had lots of mango flavor. The service and ambiance were good too! read more

We came here for dinner the other day and this place was absolutely amazing!!! I really want to compliment their service, because we were hungry and they did a great job getting our food out quickly and simply cooked to perfection. We ordered the following: Mixed Vegetable Appetizers - it comes with two large Samoas, 4 paneer pakoras, and 4 vegetable pakoras. Delicious and definitely super filling. It's enough to share for 3-5 people. Chicken korma - the sauce was incredible and heavenly. Malai Kofta - the kofta was not soggy at all and took on a great flavor combination. Kardhai Paneer - a spicy and refreshing option. Btw, some things you should know - they can make many of the dishes with your choice of protein. Also, the portions are huge!!!! We definitely over ordered. Just so you have an idea, one appetizer and 3 entrees, and 1 naan were enough for maybe 5-6 people. We had so much left over. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

I went here with 2 friends for a late dinner, and this is one of the places that were open late (until 11pm). We were seated immediately and ordered 2 entrees and naan to share, which is just enough food for 3 people. We got garlic basil naan, raita to cool down on the spices, butter chicken masala, and mango curry special with paneer. We got spice level 2 for butter chicken masala and spice level 3 for the mango curry. Level 2 is a good spot in general for me, as level 3 is way too spicy but fortunately the raita cooled down the heat a bit. I enjoyed the garlic basil naan as it had a very prominent garlic flavor and the naan is perfectly toasted yet soft inside. The butter chicken masala is good - a bit common of a dish for Indian-American cuisine but they did it well. I wasn't a fan of the mango curry as I tasted more jalapeños than mango so that was a miss. I also sampled the mango lassi which is quite creamy and fruity. However, it was a bit pricey at $6. Regardless, the price in this place is pretty solid and if you share, it's pretty affordable relative to a lot of places in the downtown / Belltown area. read more

I have had a lot of Indian food in my life, and I will say that this place is one of the better establishments. I did get their chef, specialty the butter masala, garlic naan, as well as the raita and it home! I door dashed my order and it was well packaged, fresh, and really hot. Enjoyed every bite! Only reason I took off one star was because the naan was not as thin as I prefer and have seen at some of the top Indian places I've been to. Overall, highly recommend. read more
