Saw this place was open till midnight which was rare for Indian food. We were a bit skeptical at first, but the choice was either this place or junk food. We decided to give it a try. When we arrived, the place looked a bit sketchy. It was right by the gas station and the inside area was connected to the convenience store where people walked in and out. The eating area actually looked pretty decent and clean so we sat down and decided to dine in. I wasn't expecting much of the food and just ordered a safe choice, butter chicken and garlic naan. When the food arrived, they looked alright. I took the first bite on the butter chicken. OMG, the chicken just melted in my mouth. It was tender and juicy (not hard and dry). The sauce was what got me though. It smelled so appetizing and I could taste a different blend of spices in the creamy buttery sauce with a tad of sweetness to it. The spices were mildly medium, just enough to tingle my taste buds. My friend, who was not good with spicy food, couldn't resist the sauce and kept pouring them on his rice. Luckily there was enough sauce for my naan, which brings me to my next point. I had many dry, hard and burnt garlic naan before, but wow, this one was so different. It was soft, not burnt and tasty with a hint of garlic that didn't sucker punch my nose. I felt like I had eaten all the wrong garlic naan until tonight. Before we came here, we weren't that hungry and just wanted to get small bites and bring home the rest of the food. But the plan has changed and we finished all the food and we were so full. It has been several years since I've tasted Indian food this good. It brought me back memories of my first butter chicken that was just perfect and had the right combination of spices. Don't get me wrong, I've tried many Indian restaurants before and they were alright. Most of their food had a very strong smell and heavy flavors that just overwhelmed my senses. The spices were either too thick or burned my tongue. Nothing wrong with that kind of restaurant if you're looking for that. They might be super authentic or stick to their roots, but for me, this place just had the right blend of spices in their food and hit all the right notes for a non-Indian like myself to truly enjoy their Indian food and appreciate the richness of their cuisine (in moderation). If you could look past the hole in the wall place, you might find this hidden gem as well. Now the only complaint is I have to drive all the way down from Bellevue to Kent whenever I'm craving for their butter chicken again. :(

Ummmm. Very interesting. Let me start by saying the Skippers seafood was great and I will be back!…read more It was in a gas station which is fine but we entered from the front and had to look for where they cook the food and if they still were in business. We found it to the left behind a partitioned wall of snacks. No one was at the counter and there was a little bell. We had to "ring the bell" a few times to get service and then pay up front (where you pay for your gas). There was no one in the little dining area and It was very quite and it felt a little awkward eating in silence. I think it's quiet though because another person reviewed it saying the Indian music was so loud. ?? There were three menu topics. Teriyaki, Indian, Skippers. Like I said, the skippers fish and chips were good and The other items looked good too. Now that I know what to expect (and to use the side door). I'm sure my experience will be better Oh by the way, they do use Yelp for a 10% discount if you "like" them and they use door dash and grub hub if you want delivery.

We were very excited to learn that they moved to Auburn as Manraj kitchen!! we don't mind the additional 10 minute drive to get the best Indian food we've ever eaten. The Auburn location seems bigger than the Kent location. It's very clean and bright. They serve superb food as usual, and the menu looks the same as the Kent location.. They are opening a small convenience store on the left side of the restaurant as you walk in. This seems like a great idea for the neighborhood. If you are vegetarian or vegan, they have several dishes to accommodate you. Manraj Kitchen is the same family ownership as the Manraj Palace in Kent. The food and service are excellent. You will not be disappointed!

The owner (Ranjit Kaur) is a delight to talk to. Service was good. Prompt seating. Got the appetizer platter served with the tangy tamarind date chutney and spicy green (cilantro mint) sauce. The fritters, samosa and the kebabs were great. Loved the Punjabi samosa! The Peshawari Naan was just as I expected, sweet and perfectly warm. The Mixed Grill could have been better with a Tandoori sauce on the side. It was served with complimentary rice but there was no liquid to supplement the rice and the meat. Could have been marinated a bit longer. The variety of chicken, seafood, kebabs was great but was kind of dry and hard to eat. Something that the owner can certainly look at and improve. I would certainly love the try their other curries. Wouldn't hesitate to give them a try again and refresh my review. Note: They have a small convenience store inside the restaurant. This used to be Happy Express and am glad to see an Indian restaurant in its place.

If you are looking for Indian sweets or want to try something new if you are unfamiliar with these items...do not hesitate to stop here. Family owned and operated, this business really delivered on the first item: carrot sweet (Gajar ka Halwa) I have to admit that I never imagine that I'd been enjoying a sweet based on carrots, but I really am. This is made when finally chopped carrots are soaked in milk, along with some seasonings nuts and raisins, which results in a sweet thick dessert to be enjoyed warm or chilled. If you haven't tried this before, go give it a shot. Tell them Brian sent you! Enjoy

If you know what authentic Indian food is supposed to taste like, you'll immediately appreciate this place. The fish pakora is absolutely out of this world--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It's one of the best I've had anywhere. The paranthas are always fresh, filling, and made the right way. Customer service is pretty average, no matter how early you place your order, and the food is usually not ready right away. That said, it's clearly because everything is made fresh and sold by weight, so the wait is completely worth it. They've expanded the menu quite a bit over time, and while prices have gone up recently, the taste and quality make it worth every dollar. This is still my go-to spot and always will be. Visit Summary: Date & Time: December 18, 2025 at 2:41 PM Items Ordered: * Aloo Parantha (2) * Mulli Parantha (1) * Gobi Parantha (1) * Fish Pakora (1 lb) * Mix Sweets (1 lb) If you want real, authentic food and don't mind waiting a bit for quality, this place never disappoints.

What a mess. I arrived with a friend to find. Sorry we don't have the buffet. "There's a note on…read moreour website." There was not. The waiter/greeter offered buffet prices for whatever we ordered. Seemed reasonable. I ordered two appetizers and the saag paneer. My friend had mattar paneer ($20) and a mango lassi ($6). I had a salted lassi. I asked for a seltzer water. It was warm, so I asked for ice. No glass came with the bottle of soda, which was warm. 20 minutes later, the ice came. There was quite a bit of food left over. They brought us full portions. The food was good, tasty but not what I call authentic. I spent 20 years traveling in India and you'll find a lot of Indian restaurant reviews under my name. $40 each. Sorry, we no longer offer lassi or soda with the buffet. See the attached screenshot from 7/3/25. I pointed out it was still on the website, and he shrugged. This could have turned into a win for them, but instead, the service was poor, and I won't return. No to go boxes with your leftovers. It's a buffet. My friend paid $40 for $26 worth of food. He was not happy. there are previous good reviews. Beware before you order.

Since my…read morepartner and I are vegetarian we decided we needed to check it out, even if it's an hour+ drive from our home in Graham! I'm SO GLAD we did! SO worth it!! Everything was AMAZING!! And the not-vegetarian friends we brought with us loved it as well! You order at the counter, and the menu is HUGE so give yourself a moment (or check it out online beforehand) . There are a few things listed at the counter that aren't included online, so my advice is to check out both if you're looking for something particular. Oh my gosh, the people were so nice, service was super friendly and helpful and (and very patient with our decision-making!) and once we ordered, we didn't have to wait long at all. We were overwhelmed (in a good way!) by an entire menu of vegetarian options, and even though we're fairly familiar with Indian cuisine, there were a number of dishes we weren't familiar with.... Sooooo we ended up ordering a crazy amount of food. Please don't ask me to recall what everything was!! I'm happy to report every single dish was delicious. (And the take-home leftovers the next day, equally so!!) We brought friends who weren't vegetarian AND weren't familiar with Indian food (how is that possible?) and they LOVED it. We chose a "medium" spice level for everything, and even the less spicy folks in our group said it was fine. The ambiance is extremely casual/plain, but tidy, clean, well lit, and busy. They're tucked away in a strip mall and easy to miss, but do not let that deter you from some of the BEST Indian food in the area. Seriously. I'm ready to go back.

While this place does not dethrone my favorite go-to spot, they did a good job and all the flavors were rich, complex, and meats were cooked well. The lamb curry was my favorite of the lot, and I liked the spiced rice more than the plain roti but it was all delicious - no complaints!
