I've been searching for tasty Indian in the Seattle area for a while and I think I finally found a winner! I ordered the paneer tikka and vegetable samosas and loved them. My partner had the tandoori chicken and loved how flavorful and moist it was. I think the prices are a little steep but that is sort of just a symptom of Seattle in general; you can prob pay the same or more somewhere else that isn't as good. We ordered our meal delivered and it was perfectly yummy, no disadvantages from the delivery. I would recommend! read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS food! I've had multiple dishes here, but an absolute favorite is the Mixed Chow Mein. Flavors are insane and I crave it often! Aloo Chaat, Butter Chicken, and Biryani are also some other favorites. If you haven't been, you are truly missing out! 10/10! read more

Great food. Portions could've been bigger, but quality was good. Great Indian food regardless. read more

Kastoori Grill - The menu - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is our go-to Indian food spot. The sauces and dishes we've had are excellent, the sides and naan are abundant and generous. The only downside is somehow the chicken always manages to be a bit tough. If they could fix this one thing they'd get 5 stars from me. We are creatures of habit here so always get Tikka Masala, butter chicken or tandoori chicken (this one is actually usually perfect, not tough). Many other items have been sampled, but these are definite go to's. If it's convenient for you, it's a great spot. read more

We discovered this wonderful restaurant during the Christmas snow storm of 2021, when most of Pike Place dos t open due to employees not being able to ge to to the city. We were SO glad we did. We went in because of the fabulous cooking odors as we walked by. Just delicious food and kind service. Today was our first full day in Seattle this trip and could not wait to get back here. The smells as we crossed the street reminded us of the treats to come. Oh so yum - mango lassi, perfect naan, chicken pakora, shahi paneer, basmati rice with whole cardamom. I dream about this food. I'd move here for this food alone! read more

The chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken are super yummy dishes, though can be quite spicy. However, the naan here is absolutely tasty and fresh and worth getting to just eat that alone. read more

We had Samosa chat, veg momos, garlic naan and kashmiri Kofta this time. Naan was very lovely, and kofta was quite creamy. Samosa chaat was a bit different from what you would except so not sure if I'll have again. I have had the chomping here previously and had really liked it then. read more

Wonderful, they have nice option for many meat choice fish, goat and chicken on buffet. A little slow on the chai..but really good.

I'd been meaning to try out Nepalese cuisine for a long time. I was working the night shift, and Kastoori Grill happened to deliver through Uber Eats up to 10pm. Three coworker's and I shared chili chicken momos, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, vegetable samosas, and garlic naan. Everything was a win, one after the other. I'm not a big fan of indian, but all of the indian dishes were top shelf. The samosas especially where the best is eaten, much larger than anything is seen before, and a little crispy on the outside but with a thin external wrapper. The chili momos were superb, almost a Chinese-Indian crossover with tender chicken dumplings bathed in a thick, tangy garlic sauce with stir fried onions and peppers. I would absolutely go for Kastoori grill next time South Asian food is suggested. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had! Frequently go and service is always excellent. Lots of seating.

I've ordered take out from Kastoori Grill many times. Last night I tried their mutton biryani and to my surprise it was an above average biryani. After having tried biryani failures at many restaurants, I wasn't expecting much from this place either, but it actually turned out to be good. It was loaded with mutton pieces! I only wished that the mutton was a bit more soft. I regularly order their C-Momos, they are my favorite. Reminds me of Gravy Momos in India. These momos are covered in a very flavorful tomato base sauce. I also order their Gobhi Manchurian quite often and I'd say it's sort of inconsistent. Sometimes it's cooked perfectly, while other times it has huge pieces of undercooked cauliflower. Nonetheless, the spicy coating on it is quite good. In mains I'd suggest having their Shahi Paneer. It has capsicum pieces though so it reminded me of Kadhai Paneer in India, but the flavors were quite good. read more

Good Indo Nepalese spot to satisfy tout Momo cravings! This is a pretty decent spot near Pike place and we were super hungry this one time and Chan wasn't open yet. As soon as I saw nepay, I started craving Momos and these did not disappoint! Other than that, the rest of the food was decent and the portions were huge. I don't know if I'd go here again but if I'm in Pike place and k suddenly crave Momos, I know a spot! :) read more

We were hungry for lunch and having a tough time deciding on where to go. We walked past this place and the smell was so great it drew us in. We didn't even realize they had a buffet, but at $13/person for lunch it seemed like the obvious choice. Not being an expert at Indian food, it was a great opportunity to try a lot of different options. Overall, everything was good, but nothing really blew me away. It seemed it all could have had a little more spice or flavor. The atomosphere is ok - not many windows so a little dark and felt a little run down, but fit the "hole in the wall" vibe. Service was ok as well - because it was a buffet they didn't have much work to do. read more

Food was great. I tired Nepali signature dish Kastoori chicken gravy and it was yum. Bullet naan is stuffed with chilli and it was great. Loved it. Liked the chicken tikka from the grill. Ambience is not good and felt burning hot inside the restaurant. Wish my server could have smiled. Felt everything was less of salt. Plz check to it. Try to check in here , you get 1 free gulab jamun. read more

How is this place still in business????? The place is small, congested and feels dirty. The food is below average at best. Service is pooor. Our bread (Naan) came way after the food came. The two stars they get is for location and attempt! I'm just confused they have survived as long as they have! read more

A random find walking down the pike street market place. If any one knows what street style chowmein tastes like, do come and try it here. It will remind you of India/Nepal. The traditional style chicken curry "khukro ko maangso" is simple yet flavorful. They use very good quality of basmati rice, very fragrant and satisfying ( try the first spoon without any curry). One extra star for friendly staff. read more

We made a trip to Seattle and had to come to Pike place market. You could smell Kastoori grill as you walk down to the market. We made our way around the market and by evening time it was time to enjoy a meal. Because of the wonderful smells coming from this little restaurant, we knew this was the spot. We were greeted by a friendly man and seated right away. The only issue was a slight language barrier so I was unable to use my check-in offer from Yelp for a free dessert. I did mention it to him upon sitting,But it seemed he didn't quite understand what I was asking for. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it so I just skipped it. We are flex a tarians so we sometimes have a hard time finding somewhere that will accommodate our dietary choices. The Kastoori grill accommodated us very nicely. I decided to go with a meat plate tonight. I ordered the tandoori chicken. It came to me on a Sizzling hot platter. I couldn't believe how absolutely flavorful and juicy this chicken was! My husband had Vegetarian curry dish. Unfortunately, it's name escapes me at this time period it was very flavorful spicy and Delicious. By far, the homemade naan bread was the best naan bread I have ever had in my entire life and I crave it to this day. I highly recommend the cast story grill to anyone who loves good Indian style food. read more

Oh we loved this place! We weren't even looking to come here. It looks very unassuming and there are so many cool things to see around- I t's right outside of Pike Market. As we were walking by we were hit with a mouth watering smell and the aroma of lovely spices followed closely. We literally stopped in our tracks, looked at their menu, and decided to eat here instead of where we had originally planned. The momos are SO YUMMY! So so good! We split the veg momo and the aloo bodi tama. There wasn't just one "star of the show" with this meal. The momo was soft and delicate, with a great flavor and the house aachar paired so well with them! The aloo bodi tama was filled with warming spices, lots of great veg, and it had a nice kick to it too! Everything was so well balanced and precisely what we needed. The service was nice and speedy, we did not have to wait long! Everyone we spoke to was very kind, too. We highly recommend giving this place a try next time you're by the market! read more

What a fabulous find! Our heads turned as we walked by due to the awesome smells coming from the kitchen .... had to check it out. Great staff, big menu - HUGE PORTIONS! Five spice levels - even the second was a little too hot for me to handle, but seriously delicious. Used the curry sauce from the mussels with the garlic naan - best dip ever! Would highly recommend if in the Pike Market area! read more

Came to Kastoori Grill with a friend for lunch during the work week and this was a little gem I didn't realize was there. Located at the end of Post Alley near Pike Place Market off 1st & Stewart. Surprisingly, the place was pretty busy with the work crowd which seemed to be a good sign. Its a $10 lunch buffet, but you can order from the regular menu if you want. Good amount of buffet selections from tandoori chicken, curry chicken, veggie pakoras, eggplant something, and a few more different delicious curry dishes. They offer desserts as well such as delicious mango soft serve and a mango pudding thing. Naan isn't complimentary with the meal but it is served fresh and hot. They just drop it off at your table without you even needing to ask. Its not the best curry I've ever had but a pretty good spot for a lunch and especially at that price point. Service was fine with water refills, removing plates and separating checks which is done at the front. Feels sorta like sitting in a basement but whatever, and my clothes smelled like curry when I got back to work, whatever on that too! Overall, its a pretty decent lunch spot if you feenin' for a curry. read more

Excellent! The flavors are amazing! A gem in the neighborhood. Not crowded...great service. Very reasonable prices. Be sure to ask for beer and wine menu if so inclined. read more

They've got the best Himalayan dumplings and chutney. I would highly recommend this place for their Himalayan fare.

For lunch, I decided to go off the menu (and not the usually practical buffet) and try the Momo's steamed... Plated, they look just like steamed Chinese dumplings only with Indian dipping sauces and the filling is a mixture of different things like chicken and spices. Some of the outside was slightly torn so I figured they were a bit sticky. The red sauce is too hot for my taste, but the other sauce was more yummy and mild. The chai was nice and simple. I added a bit of sugar to it. Service was pleasant. read more

This place located near Pikes place market is a good option if you are looking to satisfy your taste buds with Nepalese or Indian cuisine. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and desserts at that place. There are ample options of appetizers, both veg and non veg, to select from. They taste good. Detail review of the appetizer below: 1. Chat Papadi- The best thing was the freshness and crunchy ness of papadi. I personally would have loved more yoghurt and chutney in it(being a North Indian) 2. Chowmein- It was super delicious and will remind you of those street side chowmein that you get on Indo-Chinese carts 3. Vegetable Steamed Momos- The vegetable stuffing was precooked with spices and it tasted good. 4. Aloo ka achar- If you love potatoes then do try it. It was yumm! 5. Fish chilly- I personally didn't like it. It was a little too dry. Rice pudding (large portion) was delicious and had the correct amount of sweetness. The gulab jamun was decent too! The sitting is decent and they could use a better ventilation. read more

The food is good. The vegetarian steamed moms were tasty with good sauce. The chowmein both vegetarian and chicken tasted good and very indian style. They have spice levels from 1-6 and we chose a 5. These are measured according to Indian taste buds and be very mindful while ordering. We were pretty much burned, did love it though. read more

Kastoori Grill - steamed vegetables Vegi-Momo - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

True story. Very moved! My first time in Seattle and I was craving paneer. I also wanted to check out the Pike Market so I chose the Kastoori Grill since it's steps away. I called to confirm they had paneer in their buffet. I walked 30 minutes to get there only to see a sign that it was closed due to some water heater problem! I wasn't happy. I knocked to ask what was going on. The manager came out and explained the health department official is coming to inspect the heater in 30 minutes. When I told him I traveled far after speaking with someone at the restaurant less than an hour ago...he apologized and packed me lunch to go...free of charge for the inconvenience. And I didn't even ask! So I enjoyed REALLY good palak paneer (not spicy or heavy) on the waterfront with good cup of tea at a nearby cafe. It was way too much food and I didn't touch the naan and rice. I hate throwing away food so I wandered around to see if I could give it to a homeless person. And I ran into two guys who gleefully took it. So the restaurant ended up feeding 3 happy people. :-) You can trust food served by good people. Patronize them! read more

I have tried many dishes here and flavor has always been fine, but the amount of oil they use is concerning. Case and point, the chicken nehari I ordered for delivery. It had time to separate, so the amount of oil was evident. It also came as a very thin soup texture rather than a thicker gravy I have enjoyed at other restaurants. I enjoyed their naan, butter chicken, a few varieties of daal and the chili paneer in the past. read more

Dynamite. My brain has a hard time reconciling their 3.5 stars because Kastoori is a four star minimum. Their Tikka Masala was a bit more tomato-y and tangy than a "typical" tikka masala but I really liked it. They also have a superb mango yogurt drink... Sure, it looks like Nickelodeon slime, but boy is it delicious! Totally recommend. read more

Kastoori Grill - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. We mostly came to try the Momos and were not disappointed by the steamed or pan fried chicken versions (I think the pan fried were best but husband preferred steamed). We also got butter chicken which was delicious along with a tandoori chicken that my husband devoured along with the delicious tikka sauce it's served with. The garlic naan was a great portion (we didn't finish it all) and was one of the best naans I have had. Our server was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. They said they were out of chai originally which we were disappointed about but they came back and said they could make us some and they did. The ambiance like others have said could use some work but it doesn't detract from the food or service. We will definitely be back and would recommend. read more

We purchased a giftcard from Restaurant.com the same day we went to eat here. When we tried to pay with the giftcard, they said that the gift card was 3 years old and wouldn't take it. When we said that we literally just purchased the giftcard, they called the owner and the owner told us that the giftcard was a scam. With proof of purchase shown, they still wouldn't take our giftcard. Additionally, it's very dirty inside. Before we even got our food, the place was giving Bridesmaids Brazilian BBQ vibes! Needless to say, we won't be back! read more

DONT. GO. HERE. That's really my biggest suggestion for you, fellow yelper. This food is not worth the wait when you can see tables are open.. I really hate to leave bad reviews, but this food was incredibly disappointing. I don't know how you screw up an Indian buffet so well, but these guys have it down to a science. Somehow they overcooked things and undercooked things, everything was cold, greasy, watered-down and flavorless. Shout out for trying to cater to Americans with some lettuce and veggies.. but the lettuce was brown? I don't usually take rice, and instead use the naan to eat my food. The naan here was covered, I repeat COVERED in oil. It was DISGUSTING. It wasn't even butter or flavored, it was just greasy, slimy, mess. Add that to the watery dahl and I had to get to rice to just eat it. The chicken tikka masala was over-cooked and dry, even in the sauce. The kheer at the end was the only thing you needed cold, and somehow that was like-warm. The gulab jamon was flavorless. Add this terrible food to the strange seating procedure- which consisted of them having a lot of people show up- and not creating any list to ensure everyone was seated fairly. It was a complete disaster. They get the one star for the ice cream lassi. Seriously, there are so many better places. read more

I wish I had remember to take pictures. This place wasn't great nor wasn't bad. The environment was clean, but I did not like the fact the servers pulled the buss cart and left it beside me while I was eating so they could clean the table across from me. Visited during lunch hours, which was lunch buffet only. They offered at the buffet bar: Goat curry, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, chili fried fish, chicken curry, assorted veggies, lentil soup, spinach soup and some desserts. I felt that they just cooked the meat and dumped it in a pre made curry sauce. Meat did not have any flavor considering in was suppose to be cooked in the gravy (besides tandoori chicken). Would I visit this place again? I would! Only to try their actual menu and not the buffet. read more
