I have had Indian Cuisine at many different places, as usual, I expect to pay for a $15-20 plate. That's exactly what I got. The food was amazing, I get the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic naan. I highly recommend these for newbies into the Indian food, at a light level of spice. The service was an excellent touch. Waters were refilled frequently, and they checked to see if everything was going well. At the end of the meal I had left my glasses and one of the waitstaff was kind enough to run down the hill to get them back. I entirely enjoyed this restaurant. read more

Kastoori Grill - Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic naan. My favorite! - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I stopped by here to get some food from the $10 buffet and the service\food was great! The staff was friendly and were great at refilling water. Their Chicken tikka malsala with some naan is my favorite of their food, although the sauce is slightly runny. Overall I would highly recommend stopping in if you are at pikes place or are otherwise close by. read more

Personally not my cup of tea. My friend and I ordered 3 separate dishes (the naan(?), boneless chicken based soup, and this bean food I can't recall the names of because they all had complicated names to them). All the food had these very strong scents and strong flavors. This is a great place for those who are the adventurous type eaters and for those who can handle strong flavors. Great customer service too. read more

Kastoori Grill - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Take out for tonight. Full size portions. Well prepared with guenuine flavors. Atmosphere is a little like a diner in need of a refresh.

Same price as Pabla but better food! Talk about competition, less than 3 blocks away from the old dawgs. This would have been a 5star had it been for some garlic naan (which Pabla has). The place is more roomy. The variety of food is the same but the lamb curry was better and so was the tandoori chicken. The naan is super hot! Did I mention the lamb curry was excellent? as in excellent fall of the bones kind of excellent? Definitely going back again... when one can muster the food coma after eating here. read more

My friend and I had been planning on going to the Pink Door, but it was closed at the time. So we followed our noses to the amazing aromas seeping out of Kastoori Grill. We were not disappointed. We ordered way too much food, and filled up too quickly on those little Tibetan dumplings, but everything was delicious. The naan was fresh and soft, the mango lassi was smooth and creamy, and my paneer tikka masala? Yummy! If you're wanting something a bit different from typical Indian fare, try this place. read more

The smells from the street literally pulled my bf & me in and the food did not disappoint. Amazing curry, cute atmosphere, great find! My new favorite Indian in Seattle. UPDATE: ate at Kastoori again last night, had the mango shrimp curry and shahi paneer. SOO good. So amazingly delicious that I ate my leftovers for lunch at 10:30am cuz I couldn't wait any longer. read more

I am surprised to see bad ratings for this place. I do understand that the ambience is not the best but they serve great indian food. If you just don't want to experiment, simply order their kastoori chicken, medium hot ( if you like that level of hotness of course). Its perfect! Their gulab jamun is great too. Ive had their kashmiri kofta, bullet naan- all perfect. All in all a great place for food! They can improve on ambience , yes. read more

Food Quality is average! Portion size is too small for the prize. There's a lot of smell from cooking as well. Bad first experience!

Mmmmm....yes. After one of my coworkers found a staple in his food at Pabla, we all knew the time had come to change Indian buffets. How can you effectively gorge yourself into a naan coma when you might be swallowing staples? Gurgle. The staff were all SO nice and pleasant. They refilled our water continuously, brought piping hot, fresh naan to our table, and smiled every time we got up to gorge ourselves again. Be sure to try the mango moose [sic]. It's delicious! :) read more

Good Indian food at the market! Went in before catching a show at the Market Showbox and was not disappointed. Had the combo Tandoori plate and the Okra dish. Both were quite good, service was fast and efficient if not amazingly warm. A bit on the pricy side but not terrible. The Tandoori dish was about $22 and the Okra about $10 which was a bit steep. I'll be back to explore more dishes. read more

Not authentic Nepali. Steamed momos had no flavor. Chutney was missing key ingredients. Chow mein had cooked carrots? Overall food lacked flavor. Do not recommend read more

Very solid Indian buffet. I've always had a notion that most Indian buffets get their food from one central distribution center... that's how bad I am at telling the difference between the Chicken Masalas and the paneers at Indian lunch buffets. This place wasn't TOO different in terms of what they offered (although they had a delectable spicy chicken curry and a lamb curry). What did stand out, though, was the mango mousse they had as dessert. Call me a fatty, but that sold me on this place. The regular food was good, but that mango mousse will keep me coming back. read more

This was one of the best Indian restaurant in Pike Place Market area. Food was very tasty, the naan was very fresh. Kashmiri Kofta was out of this world, very flavorful We really loved having good Indian food here read more

We went to Kastoori Grill last night for dinner. We had certificates from Restaurant.com worth $75. The manager only allowed us to use 1 certificate for $25. They do not allow bundling. This was not mentioned on their restaurant info on Restaurant.com Very disappointing. Although the food was fairly good do not order the goat. It was mostly bones. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I ordered the butter chicken 4 stars and potato nan. Both were disgusting the butter chicken was basically water and spices and the nan had no flavor. read more

We eat a lot of Indian food in the Indian food mecca of San Diego. So, perhaps I'm biased. But, this place was the very definition of "OK". We had the lunch buffet on a Saturday. The food was very "Americanized" - bland with none of the spices and flavors that traditional Indian/Nepalese food has. (We have a fantastic Nepalese restaurant close by at home, so I know it's not just a different style.) Staff was nice, as was the decor. If you like your Indian food on the less spicy side, it's probably a good pic. But, it was just not up to snuff for my tastes. Sorry! read more

Food - below average!! I have been visiting here since 2 years and the food quality has degraded from good to poor over time. Also Not much/reduced number of varities in the lunch buffet. Service - Average! read more

Horrible experience - went on a Saturday night with not much crowd in the restaurant. They took an hour to get our food and messed up the order. We had to wait an additional fifteen minutes for them to fix the order . Food was ok read more

Ordered paneer chili and they just cooked in ketchup and sambal sauces and served us. Paneer was uncooked too. Bhindi also felt like they mixed ketchup in the base. Very expensive for the quality of food. read more

Updating my review because of bad experiences with them. The food was good, and I could tolerate the sticky floors and dirty walls, but the customer service has been bad. I do not recommend. read more

Had bad experience here. The person who took the order looked like he had better things to do, than taking our order, while taking it !!! Food was not at all tasty. We had an appetizer which is essentially, chopped up tandoori chicken mixed with vegetables, coated with masala. It was not hot/warm (not sure if it's supposed to be) and the chicken didn't felt like it was fresh. We had a toddler with us who was throwing a tantrum. So I signed the (same) waiter for check. He took his sweet time to give it and even longer to bring back the card. Next day both of us had upset stomach; probably the chicken. read more

I ordered food from here over doordash while I was in Seattle for a meeting. The food was not bad, I liked it. What I ordered? * Chat Papadi * Paneer Tikka Masala * Garlic Naan Pros? * Quantity is more than what I expected, which is a huge plus for me. Cons? * The rice that came along with Paneer Tikka Masala was dried up, probably there might be a good reason but not sure what. read more

Went here with my boyfriend because we were both craving some Indian food. When we got to Kastoori, we were greeted and got seated pretty quick. The staff was friendly and the place was very clean. I like the feel of it. The food is delicious, I forgot what we had ordered but both dishes were bursting with flavors, but like some other reviews you really don't get enough for what you pay for. read more

Helped make my visit to Seattle awesome. The food was overall very good, prices very reasonable, service friendly and accommodating. EAT THE CURRIED MUSSELS AND GARLIC NAAN. do it. the sauce made this the best indian food i've had. that may be hyperbole, and it may be subjective so you might not like it as much, but... it was in every way worth a try. read more

Great for business lunch! Buffet, so it's fast. Pretty empty on weekdays (I don't know why) so easy to get a table. And food choices for both veggies and non-veggies. read more

Great food. Very home made and still very tasty. not that heavy for Indian/Nepali food. The Goat curry was awesome. Khasi ko masu read more

Our group came here for some tasty Indian food on a rainy, Seattle night. +Food: Kastoori Curry with Chicken was delicious. Curry was flavorful and the chicken was tender and soft. Chicken Vindaloo: I was kind of disappointed with the vindaloo. The consistency of the broth was too diluted (vindaloo is supposed to be thick and hearty), and did not have that much flavor. Needs improvement. Garlic Naan, Rice, and Sauces: Yummy! Came with Tamarind, Green, and spicy sauces to dip. You can also dip the Naan with the curry or your entree too. Rice was also flavorful too and can be eaten wth entree. Overall, this was place was alright. Besides the vindaloo, the only thing I'd say that needs improvement are the spices. My brother in law wanted his curry to be extra extra extra spicy (the server even asked "are you sure?") but it came out very mild. Other than that, the servers were nice and I'd come back to give this place another try. read more

No no no no no. Maybe our timing was wrong. 12 of us got here for late lunch on the Memorial weekend. Ordered couple of appetizers and entrees. The panner tikka grill and gobi manchurian had lot of red color and chilly powder, no flavor. Paneer was not fresh at all. Dal was bland. Malai kofta was too creamy, and koftas were hardened balls of mashed potatoes. The naans were the only fresh item on the table. Aloo kulcha was huge in size, but zero on flavor. Felt bad to waste so much food. Momos saved the day, but took a long time to make it to the table. The extra star is for the nice server. He took orders and dealt with us, all alone. Ambiance equaled dinginess. Sorry, Kasturi, I have been at better places. read more

I had the mussels, spinach naan, Kashmiri korma, All of my dishes were far too sweet, and the spinach naan tasted strongly of cinnamon. I gotta say this was probably the worst Indian food I've ever had. Service was good though. read more

A friend and I were looking for a place to have some good Indian food and we found this place on Yelp so we decided to go check it out. We got here early so they were having some appetizer specials. We asked our waitress (who turned out to be the owner!) to suggest some appetizers, she was very helpful and not only suggested things we ought to try, she was honest enough to suggest one item that she wouldn't recommend (I believe she has since removed this item from the menu due to poor reviews). I found her honesty very refreshing and her recommendations very helpful. Of the items she suggested we were already planning on trying all of them except the mussels. Thank goodness we listened to her suggestion!!! The curried mussels were exceptional, particularly with an order of garlic naan to soak up the extra sauce. This was by far the highlight of the meal, in fact we ordered a second round because we couldn't get enough. I will definitely visit again when I'm in town. The only thing I was mildly disappointed with was that they don't have a Gundruk soup (it's a traditional spicy Nepalese soup made from cured mustard leaves). The owner assured me that she plans to add that to the menu in the near future. If it lives up to my expectations, I may have to bump this up to a 5-star rating! read more

Loved their Thumka (soup) and starter - aloo ka achar. Main course was dissapointing. We had asked the main curry to be medium spicy but they made it super spicy. Overall an okish place. read more

The Kastoori chicken was delicious! One of the best dishes I've had in a while. The atmosphere is a bit different than we expected. The restaurant is very simple - looking inside, but don't let it detract from the fact the food is great. read more

Kastoori Grill - The Kastoori chicken with medium spice. The dish is delicious with very good flavoring. - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food is good. Service isn't. Here on a Friday night and it wasn't super busy, but from sitting to getting our meal was 1.5 hours. It seemed like they forgot us once they sat us. Menus were dirty and stained which makes me wonder how clean the stuff we can't see is. The food was really good, once it came, but no food is so good I'll wait that long again. I guess lunch buffet is the thing to do since you serve yourself. read more

Tasteless food and zero ventilation with smoke coming from kitchen made this trip the worst I've ever had. The food was absolutely tasteless. I tried a bunch of non-vegetarian item on their menu but none of them met the bar. Don't go there even if you are starving!! read more

I have visited this location several times. Buffet is nice. Service OK. I WAS going to eat here for dinner, but when I walked in at 7:20pm it was as if I stepped into an oven! It was 75F outside, but at least 90F inside. No mention of the heat, but I couldn't stand it. So I left. Such a shame. read more

One of the better places for lunch buffet in downtown Seattle. Getting fresh naan delivered to table is considered high end buffet experience. Besides a good variety in vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, soups and desert add to the uniqueness. Lamb and goat dishes bring in certain followers to this grill. Staff is friendly, efficient and engaged. Usual observation of extensive use of cream and watered down curries found in most Indian restaurant buffets is less pronounced. Question is why Indian food, that is generally so good, come buffet time, no matter which dish one tries, taste the same, with lack of flavor of various spices and depressingly awful. Therefor, one visit to Indian buffet last me for entire year! More in 2017. read more

Not impressed at all! Service was bad and food was super cold. We went in for buffet around 11 30 (place opens at 11) and the food was already cold. We complained about it but they did not seem to care. Oh and the Gulab jamun for dessert was hard as a rock. read more

Saved by the sauce! The chicken was dry and over cooked in my chicken tikka, luckily the masala sauce saved the day. I agree with other posters, the garlic Naan was lacking and not as fluffy as the plain Naan. The potatoes in my chicken vindaloo were too hard to eat but the overall flavor of the dish was pretty good. Tried something new this time; fried chicken momo, and it was really good! The prices are a bit high at $15 for a small bowl sized entrée. read more
