Butter chicken - fantastic. Naan - pretty good. Samosas- tasty. Tandoori Chicken - horrible. The thigh and leg were better but the breast had every hint of moisture out of it. The flavor was ok but I have gotten juicier sawdust in my mouth. It was...what is that word...oh yeah...inedible. read more

Meat was not tender and no flavor. It didnt taste fresh. Waste of time and money. Will not order again.

Ordered take out. I ordered mango chicken with basmati rice and garlic naan. Was a little bit of food for the price. The rice was dry, & stale, the chicken was tough, hard to chew. The order came out to $17.49. read more

Great place. Mainly for the food, the service was OK. I had the chicken tikka masala, which was great. I had the "level 5" which is the spiciest and was actually spicy unlike other Indian restaurants I'd been to. The garlic naan was good, what you'd expect. My wife had the lamb curry which was also good. Only feedback and complaint would be that, like other Indian restaurants, this place tended to skimp out on the rice. Rice is a staple and just because you have two people that have rice to go along with your dish, you shouldn't combine their rice portions to one. Good food though. Thanks read more

I have had about six different main dishes here and 4 types of naan all were wonderful. Beautiful color and flavor. I also enjoy their mango lassi. I like the woman who is the owner/manager she is very friendly and sort of talks to you like you would imagine she does a friend, I think it makes the atmosphere super comfortable and relaxed. read more

Manraj restaurant serves food for all tastes. Spicy or not, you choose. I had chicken aderibadi because of the apricots and was not disappointed. Their spinach naan is good but not as juicy and delicious as that served in House of India in Seattle. The rice is dry and not my preferred. The server (owner?) was very gracious and prompt. Indian dancing and good music on the TV screens. I will surely return. Will try the butter chicken with (oddly) tomato sauce. read more

Outstanding food! Any negative reviews are insane - this is a local family-owned Indian restaurant and deserves to have more people visit. If I could give more stars I would. read more

Terrible food and service. It seems this restaurant is meant for people who like flavorless indian cuisine

I was impressed with my first visit. Ordered the Chicken Saag, Chicken Vindaloo, and Chicken Tikka Masala. All excellent. The naan was good but we got takeout and by the time we got home, it wasn't the freshest. Would've been better if we dined in, I'm sure. Note:, their spice level is 1-5 and the 3 is more like a 10. Lol I personally loved it but if you're not high-spice tolerant stick to a 1 or 2 on the scale. Will definitely go back. read more

Probably the best Indian food I have had in Washington. We had the aloo paratha, paneer korma, and the butter chicken and everything was delicious! I cant wait to try more stuff on the menu. read more

This is our current favorite spot to eat Indian food. While the decor lacks a little... And maybe the plates they serve the food are not as fancy as other places. The freshness and taste of the food make up for that. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are filling. We had the Lamb Curry and Onion Kulcha. It tasted like little bits of yummy melt in your mouth Lamb Pot Roast. The onions in the Kulcha were sweet and the Kulcha was not burnt at all, a problem at most Indian Restaurants. I am a Rice Snob. And the Basamti was light and flavorful. We also got some Plain Naan bread in which to sop up the Yummy Curry. My husband grabbed a to-go menu for me to circle all the great things we want to try. read more

My boyfriend was excited to show me this place. I've been craving Indian food lately, and I seldom get the chance to eat it so I was very excited! It was nestled in within safeways parking lot and gas station, and if I wasn't looking for it, I would have probably overlooked it easily. We stepped inside and we were greeted right away. The servers were very nice; one woman was very friendly and helpful, and the other woman was calm, quiet, and worked diligently; our water cups were never empty. My boyfriend got the lamb vindaloo and I got the mushroom lamb. We waited an average time and the food finally came out and wow! I was SO happy with my order. My sauce was spicy and sweeter compared to the vindaloo. It was very creamy (the woman made sure there was no coconut milk for me (im allergic)). The lamb was soft and well cooked. The garlic naan is very addicting. The garlic was not overwhelming. The middle was soft and the outsides were crispy. So perfect with the mushroom lamb sauce. On their spice scale, I ordered "spicy". I expected it to be hotter, but I was happy with the heat. It wasn't empty white heat (which I find annoying).. It was intentional heat with lots of flavor. Gave your tummy warmth but didn't make you cry. I was very happy! The mushroom lamb and the naan was perfect. We got our free dessert; rice pudding. I couldn't eat it because it had coconut and nuts but my boyfriend says it's good. It had heavy ingredients but it was in a light milk. I want to come back and try the mango shrimp! Definitely try this place out if you're craving Indian food. Support ya local businesses! read more

Yes! I love finding good places to eat! My goodness.. why haven't I ran into this place.. Funny story how we found this place. (Skip below for review) My significant other and I have been craving Indian food for awhile (because of The Lotus Grill in Southcenter mall), and never looked in Kent before... so we did the only thing and yelped, "indian food." We were confused as to why there has been a near 5 star Indian restaurant near us! So we quickly ran (drove) there! Review: This place is awesome! Lets start off with customer service. The gentlemen that help us there was very helpful! (I think he was the manager), but he helped us choose what to eat!! The best part? They have a side for all vegetarian! Woo! When we choose our food, he stopped us and explain that the food we were about to order were almost identical (besides one having cheese), so we corrected it and we were grateful. We ordered the Mutter Paneer and Saag Agloo, with some GARLIC NAAN!!! Food: The food was phenomenal! You can totally tell that their ingredients were fresh! I've been to many Indian restaurants and this was the first to strike my tongue as if I was eating at a fancy restaurant. The taste of the food was balanced and yet very flavorful on its own unique way. We really loved the food. The garlic naan was also fantastic! Best one yet. The only thing I could think as a limitation to this place is their atmosphere. This place definitely deserves a better looking building or place. I loved everything except for the fact that it was a little too dark. They also close early, but that doesn't effect this review at all... I definitely recommend this place to anyone craving Indian food in Kent! Overall in love with this place! read more

The only Indian restaurant that has amazing food and are clean. If you dine in make sure and be prepared for a 30min plus of waiting for food. I usually order to go and the wait is only 10min. read more

Best Indian (north) in Washington. This is a huge statement but we are a family of foodies and tried most of all Indian joints in wa. Their food quality, their spice, their lamb and their naan are amazing. It is a family run business where they cook on spot all fresh. My recommendations The naan combo The lamb curry The mango shrimp Thier Thalis We finally found a great place to frequent after church. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had hands down! When we first visited the server (I assume an owner) sat us down and went through the most popular dishes and helped us decide what to get. We got the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and a cashew chicken. I had no idea butter chicken and masala were the same with just dark or white meat, but the sauce on both were soooo amazing. Delicious and creamy. So good. We didn't love the cashew chicken but I think it's just because we loved the other two so much. We visited again and accepted her suggestion to try another dish (I love recommendations) and we tried the chicken malai. We were not disappointed. The sauce on that was incredible as well. we also always get the garlic naan and it's delicious! Great service and delicious food has made this place one of our favorite restaurants. read more

I enjoyed everything. From the chai to the kulfi. Naan was delish. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Vegetables were tender and not over cooked. Tikka masala was creamy the way I like it. Service was excellent. We will definitely come back again. read more

This East Indian restaurant is like going to visit India and sitting in a very fine restaurant where the chef is a five star. My husband and I have really enjoyed some wonderful meals here. The quality and the consistency are exemplary. read more

Absolutely delicious stuff. I had the lamb curry, garlic naan, and samosas. The curry was great. I alternated between eating over rice and dipping naan in the curry. The food was great, service was great. Will return. read more

This is good Indian food with a really nice and personal staff who kept us informed with wait time and played with our son and kept coming back asking if everything was good and if we needed anything. The food was very tasty with all sorts of flavors and spices going on. I ordered Butter chicken that was, on par with or better then the best butter chicken I have had, just the right amount of cream and spice and the chicken was tender Yum. We also ordered the shrimp vindaloo, very spicy, just the way I like it. The last but not least for the main dishes was the lamb jalfrezi. The lamb was tender mixed with veggies and spice. I also ordered garlic naan and Spinach and cheese naan The second was so good I wish I would of ordered to orders of that. I always load the bread with the main dishes. Rice was free and we got a Yelp free dessert. Will be back for sure! read more

Our new favorite Indian Food place! Our first experience here was amazing!. The restaurant is small but very comfortable and clean. The staff is AMAZING! Our hostess was very friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu. She asked us a few questions about our likes and made some great suggestions. I ordered the Butter Chicken (Makhani) because it is my "baseline dish". It was very flavorful with a rich sauce. The chicken was great quality, well cooked and very tender. My wife stepped out of her comfort zone and tried the Chicken Hyderabadi per the Hostesses recommendation. It was an amazing dish as well. The Naan (we tried the garlic) was the best that we've had anywhere and is highly recommended! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we're already looking forward to our next visit. I'm sure they'll be seeing us regularly. :) read more

INTERIORS: Their interiors are modest. Nothing to fancy inside except for the metal plates and tumblers that look pretty good. SERVICE: The staff was very friendly and served with nice smiles. Their menu was pretty vast offering quite a few choices. The staff would offer their suggestions when asked for and they would patiently answer all questions about the order. FOOD AND PRICES: This restaurant is pricier than other restauarants I have been to. Pricier by 2 or 3 dollars per dish. The quantity and taste are good though. However the dishes don't exactly represent their names. We ordered rogan josh and what was served was a red curry chicken dish than a dark brown curry and the taste was good but not rogan josh. The madras chicken which should have been closer to chettinad chicken was not green in color but rather another red curry dish. We wouldn't have been able to make one from the other if the server didn't tell us. Considering that these two dishes come from opposite parts of India, rogan josh from North and madras chicken from south, it was surprising that they tasted too similar. The shrimp biryani was pretty good. We redeemed yelp check in offer and the gulab jamun served for dessert was yummy. OVERALL: They serve some pricey food that tastes good but the dishes aren't authentic. You should go here if you just want some tasty Indian food but it doesn't matter if it is pretty authentic or not. The food is delicious though. read more

Nice casual strip mall joint that's only been open for a few months now, serving freshly made Indian food. On this visit, I sampled some of the crackers and 3 sauces as received by another reviewer. Not bad, but personally wasn't my favorite thing but it tided me over while waiting for my order. They had India's version of MTV playing on two screens to watch which is cool. The chicken Makhani was a bit spicy for two stars. It was freshly prepared and vibrant tasting over the steamy basmati rice. I just wished the rice would be served in a bowl and perhaps with a lid so that it doesn't dry out on that small side plate. Would probably be less messy too. The garlic naan bread was excellent! Covered in garlic, nice and puffy. I'm also so glad I striked up a conversation with the friendly owner as she passionately explained that everything is cooked to order and within strict code of select meats for each dish (chicken breast vs. thigh meat). She had explained that the makhani was strictly breast meat and the tandoori was thigh meat which would be a bit more tender and flavorful for my next visit. She encouraged me to come back and try their 7 day lunch buffet that's only available from 11-3pm. She also gave me samples of some of their homemade kheer rice pudding. Very sweet family ran business, I hope to return soon. read more

Just ordered (to go) for the first time from MANRAJ PALACE CUISINE OF INDIA and was very pleased with all the food - very good!

I was craving Indian food, & let me get this out of the way... I never really liked Indian food only because I didn't know what was good. I thought it was all the same. Now I know my favorites!! Service: Was great. I believe he is the owner, but he was really attentive and actually helped us make our orders, and they all turned out delicious!!! Oh my goodness. I only knew one dish and it was Bc I work at the mall and I always order paneer masala, but he was great help! What I ordered: Mutter Paneer Spicy / So good!!! Omg the taste is exactly what I expected. But better than any mutter paneer I've ever had.. Sorry Southcenter I've found a new fave! The flavors all blend together so nicely, and adding the spiciness gave it a wonderful kick. I'm in love with this dish. And the free rice and my side of garlic naan was perfect! The naan was perfectly made. What my significant ordered: Saag Agloo Mild Spice/ Very good, it's not bitter as the one I've tried before in federal way, the flavors are just unexplainable.. I just know that I'm picky & and I love this dish with the garlic naan. Perfecto!! Is this place worth recommending? Heck YAS! If you want to try Indian food for the first time, I definitely recommend this place, because they make it how you want it. And they are great at advising which is popular. Honestly I never knew this place was here... I'm glad I was craving some indian food today. Such a great find. (: read more

Had my meal delivered and was better than expected. Still warm and delicious. Next time we will eat there when we have more time.

The atmosphere, smells, feel, everything is typical Indian Resturant. Let me say when I say typical I mean perfect. This is my new favorite. I travel a lot and have the wonderful opportunity to sample different cuisines from many different places. These guys nailed it. And the Resturant is clean. It feels like home. If you miss this place you have missed a very good Indian Resturant. read more

Good food and good service. It doesn't look like much but the proof is on the plate. Their menu is extensive but the paper one they gave us doesn't show everything. So, if you don't mind using your phone, you can see the full menu online read more

This is our new go-to Indian place. I've branched out from my saag paneer dish to others, and have never been disappointed. Their butter chicken - amazing. Aloo mutter - love it. Malai kofta - yum. What I like is that everything has really great flavor. I've tried a few kinds of naan too, and though I prefer some to others none have disappointed. When we dine in we love that we can get a full bottle of red for $22, what a deal! Service can be a bit slow or spotty, but nothing that's a show stopper. Glad to have found a local Indian spot we love so much, for those days we don't want to make the trek to Tacoma. read more

FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! the butter chicken was so tender & even delicious the second day! The portions are big enough for 2

So this place is the best kept secret in Seattle... Hearty service.. be aware of the spiciness level you are asking. Portion is small but good quality. I am dying for their Himalayan blue to show up... on my day off, a meal without alcohol is called breakfast so I ordered some Indian wine. read more

This is our family's favorite restaurant, including our kids. We've been coming since they opened 4-5 years ago. The food is fresh and delicious, the owners and staff are great and personable, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We go here a few times a month...last Friday night there was a full house, four parties waiting for tables...I'm glad, I want them busy so we can keep coming for years to come! We usually start out with an appetizer of vegetable pakora or cheese pakora, then chicken tikka masala, tandoori paneer, naan and rice, but they have so many wonderful dishes, naans and desserts! read more

Manraj is the best Indian food you can find in all of western WA. The family who owns it are the sweetest and most gracious hosts.

Ordered take out from the online menu and it was very user friendly. The food was delicious and I'd totally order from there again. The reason for 4/5 stars is simply because it took a long time for the order. It said 35 minutes, which is fine, but when I got there 35 minutes later to pick it up, I still had to wait an additional 15. Not a deal breaker, but if it's going to take 50 minutes, then just let me know that up front. read more
