    Fish Pakora
    Smrithi S.

    We were in Broadway to eat at another place that closed earlier than we expected and we ended up eating in Mirch Masala since it was close. We got Fish Pakora, Lamb Boti Kebab, Paneer garlic naan, Chana Masala and Roti. We liked Paneer garlic naan the best, Fish Pakora was good. Lamb Boti Kebab and Chana Masala were disappointing.

    Service as attentive and friendly. They even accepted a Restaurant.com coupon from 2017! And we were told we could have as much rice as needed. We like rice so this was nice to hear! The food was a solid 4 stars. The Matter Paneer was very tasty and the Aloo Gobhi had a nice amount of cauliflower. We ordered medium spicy and found it pretty mild, so keep this in mind if you like heat. The Kheer was very refreshing but the cardoman/saffron? was difficult to taste.

    My daughter and I stumbled upon this restaurant after we found out the sushi spot was closed but we were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was very clean and seemed new. The wait staff was very attentive and the food came out quickly. We ordered chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, garlic naan and rice. The chicken was tender and the sauce was smooth and slightly creamy. Although it lacked a little depth in spices, it was still very tasty. I loved my palak paneer, it had medium heat and had a good amount of paneer. The naan completed the meal perfectly. We ran out of rice and they gave us more without extra charge! If your hitting some thrift stores in Capitol Hill, come stop in for a bite!

    Gulab Jamun

    The butter chicken and rice were okay, not a lot of chicken, and the sauce was good and creamy. The garlic naan was very good. The gulab jamun (my favorite) was great, but the serving was only 2 pieces for $7. Probably won't order that again from there.

    Amazing curry! Loved the Spinach Naan! Will definitely be back! Parking is a little tough, but you can park in the middle lane and run in to grab your curry.

    I really enjoyed the food at Mirch Masala. I stopped in for dinner and ordered the following: - Samosas - Butter chicken - Plain naan - Paneer naan * SERVICE * The guys that run the place are kind and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The food was also quick which made our visit that much better because we were HANGRY! * FOOD * You really can't go wrong with naan. Like many other Indian spots I've tried, the naan was delicious. The paneer naan was good, but not my favorite. The butter chicken was so tasty but I felt like it was missing something. A hint or punch or kick of something... it was buttery, for sure, but I feel like it needed something to balance out that buttery-ness. Maybe some citrus or spice to cut through it a bit. Nonetheless, it was good! The samosas were sooo buttery and I loved it. Even though the restaurant wasn't crowded when we walked in, they were swamped with a bunch of take out orders. If you do have the chance to dine in, know that there is a decent amount of indoor seating and you'll be well taken care of. Cheers!

    Stopped here for the lunch buffet on a Sunday. The restaurant space is nice. It's inviting and clean. The food was okay. The butter chicken was the highlight, and it was excellent. The tandoori chicken was dry. The other dishes were good, if pedestrian, versions of classic dishes. Service was friendly and helpful. A nice place for a buffet if your are nearby, but far from the best of Indian food in the Seattle area.

    Vegetable Rice and Butter Chicken from the buffet. Delicious!

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.

We were really hungry and decided to join them as I've had this spot saved too as the reviews were pretty positive. They were definitely very popular but we were put on the waitlist but I think it would be helpful if they took peoples' numbers as apparently they would just shout it outside. We weren't aware as we went somewhere else to wait as it was very cold. When we arrived, a different employee started cleaning a table for us and we waited but then the employee who did put us down was frustrated with us as he called us and no one of us answered cause we were elsewhere. We weren't sure if we had a spot after that but luckily the employee who was cleaning was done and offered that spot. They also did drop a glass cup after cleaning nearby which was concerning but they did clean it up right away. Once we were seated, it took almost a half an hour to get some to take our order. Luckily we did get our water refilled decently but there were a few times where our empty glasses were seen and ignored. I definitely think there should be staff training as it was non-existent. I understand being busy but you're across the convention center so it should be expected. The music was also so low I didn't know it was even on, they have a loud fan going on and even their TVs have no volume. It's a pretty awkward ambiance, especially with how they try to look like they are a upscale restaurant. It did take some time to get food and it seems like the kitchen was frustrated too as I heard the bell signaling food being ready several times. The food was actually good, especially for the price. The portions are generous. We never had paratha but our friend recommended it so we got the aloo paratha while my boyfriend got their butter masala and I got their tikka masala extra hot. It wasn't really spicy at all, definitely nothing like what I've had at other Indian restaurants. The curries were flavorful with good pieces of chicken. We might return if we need something nearby but there are definitely better options that I would walk for.

But Indian-Nepali Kitchen is one of Seattle's most sought-after spots for affordable eats. But don't sleep on the rest of INK's broad menu of South Asian fare -- The Infatuation magazine even considers it to be one of the best restaurants in the city, full stop. INK shares a strip mall with a bodega and nail salon. Black cushioned chairs are pressed up to lacquered wood tables, and the tan walls are decorated with an assortment of cultural tchotchkes. Bollywood music videos play on the main dining room's single flatscreen, while images of Nepali mountain ranges flash on the screen in the accessory dining room. My partner and I dined at INK for weekday dinner on our drive up to the North Cascades, and we had the dining room to ourselves. Only a handful of takeout patrons rolled through during our visit. We kicked off our meal with the Mixed Appetizer. The Vegetable Pakora component was a consensus hit. The rich, crispy bites functioned well on their own and were fun conduits for the fragrant mint sauce and the tart tamarind sauce. In comparison, the samosas were forgettable, sporting overwhelmingly thick shells and hit-or-miss fillings. Of the three varieties, only the earthy ground lamb was worth finishing. Next, we tried the Combo Momo platter. Admittedly, the signature momos were surprisingly mediocre. Across the varieties, the wonton-like Fried Momo was the clear winner with its exciting texture without overpowering the delicate filling flavor. Meanwhile, the standard steamed momos tasted like something out of the frozen section, the Chili Momos were dominated by fast-food-quality sweet-and-sour sauce, and the Sandheko Momos had an unassuming, generally savory curry flavor (which was far outdone by the tangy side of house chutney). For our entree, we were very impressed by the Butter Curry Lamb. The thick curry broth was vibrant and dynamic; we sipped it by the spoonful. The tough lamb felt like an afterthought. The Garlic Basil Bread wasn't particularly basil-y, but the naan slices were pillowy, flaky, and addictively buttery. To drink, we shared an Iced Chai. The tea was more spiced than sweet; the average Starbucks patron might turn their nose up to it, but the light drink was a welcome contrast to the dense entrees. For dessert, we opted for the Gulab Jamun: the ping pong-sized cheese balls were deceptively dense, each packing a rich, syrupy punch. The service was quick and efficient, and our bill worked out to about $75 (after tax and tip). The flavors topped out at very good, but never quite achieved greatness. The portions were generous -- we probably could have done without the momos and still had a satisfyingly hearty meal. For a no-frills meal that will, at a minimum, be tasty, INK is a safe bet.
