A True Downtown Renton Gem Sometimes you find a restaurant that gets it right every single time, and for me, that is Rice N Curry. I am a regular here, and my order never changes: the Mango Chicken Tikka with a side of rice. It is simply the best combination, perfectly balanced, incredibly flavorful, and made with clear attention to quality. What truly sets this establishment apart, however, is the hospitality. Riki and Raj provide amazing, warm, and professional service. They ensure every guest feels welcome. You do not just leave here with a great meal; you leave genuinely touched by the care they put into their food and the comforting atmosphere they have built. Highly recommended for anyone who values honest, high-quality food and real kindness. read more

This was a good place. My sister recommended and I decided to give it a try. I got the lunch special which comes with an entree, rice, and naan for $14.99. it was a good deal for the price. The person who helped me was nice, he asked if it's my first time and thank me for trying. Lunch time didn't seem too busy so it was pretty quiet and chill. Foodwise: it was really good! I was surprised. We actually got food from another Indian place to try as well and even though we ordered different things, the rice and naan were similar but this place definitely beats it. It was soft and fluffy, rice was buttery and not dry. The butter chicken was very delicious, it was Soo creamy and smooth and flavorful. I regret ordering the lunch special and should have gotten the regular entree instead. Overall, I would come back to try their other food,but it's definitely a good place for Indian food. read more

FOOD: murgh masala was pretty good and the chicken tikka tacos were steep in price ($15 or $16 for 2 tacos) but man they were so delicious. Flavors were amazing. Palak paneer was bland imo. Naan was amazing. So chewy. Probably the best I've ever had. They give a good portion size compared to the price SERVICE: beyond kind. The owner even opened the door for us when we were leaving. They checked in on us multiple times. AMBIANCE: fancier-looking inside than you'd think. Very modern and remodeled, suitable if you wanted a higher end interior to look at while you eat! Oh I did find a hair in the chicken of my murgh masala. I didn't tell the staff though because they were so nice and I felt bad but in hindsight I should've said something. read more

No one we came with enjoyed their food and it was pricey! Mine was beyond oily - inedible (lentils). My brother's was flavorless (some sort of chicken dish). My son's was just okay (3 small mango chicken tikka tacos). Garlic naan wasn't flavorful and also very oily. These 4 items were over $70. The woman asked we were enjoying the food. My brother shared that mine was very oily. The woman said - it is butter. It is supposed to be like that. Then she walked away. 100% would not visit again. I love Indian food and this was the worst I've ever had. The service wasn't much better. read more

Tried this spot for the first time today and WOW! They did NOT disappoint! Everything we ordered was on point: Butter chicken was delicious (a little on the sweeter side, which I loved) Samosas were crispy and super flavorful Chicken wings were perfection: crispy, flavorful, just Rogan gosht was incredibly tender and packed with flavor (my husband's favorite!) Garlic naan and onion salad paired perfectly with everything Mango lassi tasted like a rich mango smoothie, so good! On top of that, the customer service went above and beyond. We were greeted warmly and they checked in on us throughout our meal. We'll definitely be back! This place is 100% worth it! read more

Fantastic experience and even better service.. Butter chicken tacos were A++, a must try.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal tonight! Service was outstanding, with menu recommendations and fast service. The ambiance was quiet, clean and spacious with a nice view out the window. Chicken wings were possibly the best I've ever had (and I'm from Buffalo NY!) I loved the Murgh Masala - spice level of the sauce was perfect and the chicken was so tender and dipped the garlic naan into the bowls of my table mates - all the sauces were amazing. Can't wait to return! read more

There is definitely some great Indian culinary establishments in Renton. But sometimes you just want something quick, casual, and tasty. That place is Rice and Curry. Owned by Gurminder Kaur and family, Rice and Curry is located in the heart of Downtown Renton, across the street from the Piazza. As small as it, the place is surprisingly busy. Traffic is particularly high on weekends where many from fans of Indian culinary delights come to converge for a nice meal. Most of the favorites are here, butter chicken, tikka masala, pakoras - fresh na'an. It's there. As for me, I started with an appetizer of fresh samosa and chutney. I also ordered the traditional chicken curry with garlic na'an. My friend ordered the buttered chicken with a side of basmati rice. Let's not forget some tasty mango lassi to make the meal complete. Come on down to Rice and Curry, as you are. The food will be hot fresh and tasty, and have that Indian flair that will have coming back for another serving! #riceandcurry #riceandcurryrenton #supportrentoneats read more

I passed by 100 times. Inside Rice N Curry looked like a nice place to sit down for dinner. But I finally went in for takeout. The owner was really friendly. I got the lamb biryani, 3 out of 4 spicey. Delicious. If less tolerant of spicey I suggest 1 or 2. It was a large serving. I was able to finish half and saved the rest for the next day. read more

First off the food is AMAZING! That was enough to keep me coming back three times this week. The service is kind warm and calming. The restaurant has a clean comfortable feel and the gold cutlery is a nice touch. I find myself daydreaming about the mango chicken sliders. The butter chicken is on point. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a meal with these fine people. read more

Hidden Gem with a Soulful Twist on Biryani This little Indian restaurant is a delightful surprise. The menu is refreshingly simple--just a handful of dishes, each prepared with care. No frills, no overwhelming choices. But what they do serve, they do exceptionally well. The biryani here is unlike any I've had before. It's not the typical restaurant-style fare drenched in oil or overloaded with masala. Instead, it's subtly spiced, almost home-cooked in feel, with layers of flavor that unfold gently. The rice is fragrant, the meat tender, and there's a hint of something unexpected--maybe a touch of mint or a roasted spice--that makes it stand out. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause between bites just to savor. The staff (possibly the owners themselves) are warm and welcoming, treating you more like a guest than a customer. You get the sense that this place isn't just about food--it's about sharing a piece of their heritage, their kitchen, their story. If you're looking for a quiet spot with heartfelt cooking and a biryani that breaks the mold, this little restaurant is worth seeking out. Just don't expect a laminated menu or fancy plating--this is food with soul, served with sincerity. Few dishes we tried were salty lassi, mango lassi , seekh kebab and biryani and raita. We loved everything. We went here on a Wednesday afternoon so there were no other customers than us. Recommend to give it a try. read more

Located in downtown Renton, Rice N Curry's was the spot we decided to try as we craved some delicious Indian bites. The restaurant itself was easy to find but it's located in a small plaza with really limited parking so beware but there's plenty of street parking available walking distance nearby. Getting inside, you'll notice the modernly designed aesthetics which add a nice charm to the overall dining experience. However, there were some elements that looked tacky such as the basic tile floors you'd find in any convenient store or the chairs and wobbly tables which made it feel like more of a take out spot if anything. The service was great though and they were very attentive which I loved. Now, I'll be completely honest here regarding the food. For the prices and what's offered, I didn't think Rice N Curry's hit the spot unfortunately. Each dish was nearing $20 and lacked portions and the basmati rice was extra. The Veggie Kabobs as appetizers were tiny and seemed like basic hash-browns with masala and seasonings on top of them. The Daal Makhani seemed to be on the bland side. To add to the negatives, the Garlic Naan bread seemed like store bought and from frozen packages. However, I will say the Makhani Paneer with the tomato curry was decent in flavor. All in all, I think with some small improvements, these guys have the potential to be awesome. It is a family run business and you've gotta appreciate that aspect! read more

The moment I stepped into Rice and Curry, I was charmed by its unique vibe. For a small space, it feels surprisingly gorgeous and cute--like an art gallery brought to life. A few well-spaced tables, golden utensils, and large windows that flood the room with natural light make the place warm and inviting. It's a rare woman-run Indian restaurant, and the owner is a gem--accommodating, passionate, and eager to share her story. Many of the recipes are inspired by her mother, infusing the food with a personal touch. Sliders The sliders were a visual and culinary delight, offering three distinct options: * Mango-Infused Grilled Chicken: A burst of flavor with a sweet kick from mango, perfectly balanced. * Beet Mayo-Infused Grilled Chicken: Rich and buttery with a subtle sweetness. * Lamb Kebab: Packed with spices and tender goodness. The grilled chicken sliders stole the show with its vibrant flavors and creative twist. Murgh Masala This unique dish is a true standout. The curry is luxuriously creamy, rich, and aromatic, with just the right balance of spices. The chicken chunks are melt-in-your-mouth tender. It pairs beautifully with naan and is an absolute must-try. Broast Chicken An unexpected find at an Indian restaurant, Crispy, thinly coated chicken legs and thighs are shallow-fried to perfection. Bone-in halal chicken fries like these are rare in Seattle, making this a treat. While I'd love a bit more seasoning on the chicken itself, the accompanying spicy and sweet sauces made it indulgently delicious. Butter Chicken I'm tough on butter chicken-- skipping it because most places take it for granted and serve a version that doesn't qualify as butter chicken. Rice n Curry nailed it, just how i prefer it. The sauce is rich, buttery, and perfectly spiced, with just the right hint of sweetness and tomato flavor. The chicken chunks were tender and flavorful, making this a delightful surprise. Biryani Biryani sparks debate even among Indians because of its many regional variations. This place follows a particular North Indian style: lightly spiced, well cooked long-grain rice and a good portion of chicken. I prefer a spicier kick of aromatic biryani and this version isn't particularly my favorite, it may appeal to whom enjoy a mild biryani. Chicken Sheekh Kabab I also tried their Chicken Sheekh Kabab, it was decent, nothing extra-ordinary. Naan was delicious. Chutney's were very innovative Location & Parking Nestled in downtown Renton, Rice and Curry offers some dedicated parking, with plenty of street parking available nearby. Final Thoughts Rice and Curry combines heartfelt cooking, elegant presentation, and a cozy atmosphere. The broast chicken, sliders, and murgh masala were standouts, and I can't wait to return. read more

Delicious food and great service! Obsessed with their karahi paneer. Will definitely be back.

Really really good. When we drove up, I immediately thought how beautiful it looks. The inside is very spacious and the gold, black and white color palette is very fresh and nice. The staff were friendly, patient, and did not hover. I loved the menu options. The portions were generous and the flavor spot on. We had samosa, mango lassi, chicken biriyani, garlic naan and palek paneer. I forgot to grab photos once the mains courses arrived. All 10/10 read more

One of my favorite places for Indian food in Renton thanks to my friend for telling me about them. I almost always get Chicken Biryani it's packed with flavor and spice. Generous portion. Can't believe I hadn't written a review. Yesterday I brought my friend here, he loves Indian food. I let him select what to order since it was his first time he likes to order the same items to measure the base of a restaurant so butter chicken and Karahi Paneer were his choices we added naan and rice. Though I think he meant to order Palak Paneer but pointed to the wrong dish. He also added a mango lassi stuck with water. Delicious as always and service is always great the owners are so gracious . Weither I'm gettingI Indian food to go or dining in this is the place I cone to in downtown Renton. It's clean, well lit and shares a small parking lot with Salty Blue. read more

We had friends over and wanted to try somewhere we hadn't been before and settled on this spot - we were not disappointed! We had the murgh masala, Dahl, Chana masala, chicken haryali & naan. All of it was so delicious & flavorful and we all agreed we'd definitely have everything we ordered again. The murgh Marsala was the favorite. Can't wait to go again. read more

Service was amazing and the food is 10/10 flavor. The chai is to die for and I couldn't put it down !

Seems everywhere you go these days prices increased and service has decreased. There is a huge competitive advantage right now if you take care of your customers. Rice N Curry knocks that out of the park. I have dined at Fine Dinning and Michelin Star restaurants where the service wasn't as good as it was here. We love supporting local and especially family owned. You can really tell they genuinely care. I observed quite a few regulars coming in, they knew everyone's name. This is the friendliest restaurant around. Our first time visiting we ordered the Samosas, Butter Chicken, Chana Masala, Rice and Garlic Naan. We washed it all down with a Mango Lassi. The food was fantastic and the portions are generous. The two of us ended up eating dinner for two nights off what we ordered. Our first time enjoying a Mango Lassi, we loved it. We will definitely be back. This was a 20 out of 10 experience with next level customer service. read more

We've been here a couple times now. Most recently we got takeout from here. We got Vegetable Kabab, Chicken Seekh Kabab, and Chicken Biryani. The Chicken Seekh Kabab was great, Chicken Biryani good. In the past we have tried the Samosa, and Bhuna Ghost and liked them both. read more

I drive by here all the time, but I've never stopped in. I was invited to the Yelp community experience, so I popped my head in here recently. Rice N Curry is close enough that I can grab take out on my lunch break, so I was definitely excited to try them out! The dining area was super clean with several indoor and outdoor seats. The parking lot is shared with a few other businesses, so how easy parking is depends on what's going on. At 13:30 on a Thursday the lot was crowded enough that I had to play the "if I fits, I sits!" rule, though there's plenty of street parking with a small amount of walking, so no worries if you can't fit! For my lunch I got a mango lassi, samosas, and a lunch serving of palak paneer (which comes with naan and rice). I enjoyed the mango lassi ($4.25) quite a bit and it was a lovely "dessert" component to my lunch. Loved the samosas ($6.99)! Even though I got takeout they were nice and hot when I got to point B and had a great crunch to them. It came with two sauces which were both great and there was more than enough to go around. The palak paneer ($11.99) was pretty okay in general; perhaps a bit overpriced for what you get. I could say that about the samosas as well and the price to food ratio is a factor of why I find this place a 3.5 at best. I like how quickly everything came out, but there are closer Indian restaurants to both home and work that I prefer so it's not all that likely I'll be here again any time soon. read more

March is Women's month, but we should support women-owned, Asian-owned businesses like Rice N Curry all year long! We ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan as well as the samosas and mango lassi. Everything was packaged well, came out piping hot, and tasted great! My only complaint would be that the portions were a little small. We didn't have enough chicken to go with the butter sauce, but we were able to bring it home easily (since it was already in a to-go container) and have it over rice at home! The restaurant is a pretty casual place where you seat yourself at any available table. All the food comes in disposable containers and cutlery. There is a restroom in the restaurant. There is a designated parking lot that's shared with the next door businesses. read more

Oh my goodness, had some of the best Indian food I've eaten at Rice N Curry. I stopped by for lunch on Friday and got the traditional chicken curry (lunch special), some samosas, and the mango lassi. Samosas - 10/10. Crisp on the outside and flavorful on the inside. I don't eat spicy, and these did great at still having some kick while not being overly spicy. I also liked how they included 2 sauces - the green one was too spicy for me, but the red one was really good with the samosas IMO. Mango lassi - 10/10. I only wish that they had a larger size, I had to stop myself from finishing the cup on the drive back :) Traditional chicken curry - 9/10. Good flavor, but not a whole lot of chicken and there was also a lot more rice than curry, so had to eat some plain rice by the end. The naan was done well and soaked up the curry well. I might opt to get the non lunch special next time. Restaurant interior was clean and the 2 staff I interacted with were super nice. They have a small private lot for parking, but otherwise seemed like mostly street parking and then walk over. I'd be back for the mango lassi alone and can't wait till the next time I get to have some delicious Indian food from Rice N Curry! read more

Rice N Curry - Samosas/traditional chicken curry/Mango lassi - Indian Near Me - Renton, Washington

I am giving a solid three. It could have been a four but the butter chicken just didn't hit the mark. Working near here, less than a block away, it's certainly a great opportunity for a meal. We have lots of similar places in Renton, some better than others but this place is fine. Before giving my ratings on the food, please know I ordered to go, and ate it when I got back to my office, which was less than ten minutes, but with any take out, it can affect the food texture, taste, and quality. I ordered Garlic Naan, Samosas, Bhindi Masala, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Seekh Kabab. Since I had not been here, I figured I should try a variety of things and knew I would have left overs. The naan was fine, didn't really have the garlic flavor I would hope for. The Samosa's were probably my favorite part, the filling was great and the outer part was super crisp and tasted great! My second favorite in this order was the bhindi masala, which I had never had before but love okra, certainly a fan of this dish and recommend it. Unfortunately the butter chicken was my least favorite because it tasted like tomato bisque and the chicken was pail white which makes me question if they actually have a tandoor. I was also a fan of the chicken seekh which I had not had before. It's a bit pricy but some really great flavor. Overall, this food ended up being about $20 per meal since I had lunch and then myself and husband had dinner from these dishes. Which, is kind of pricy considering all of the other options and their price points. Certainly worth a try if you are in the area. The staff are very friendly and I know this is a locally owned business, which is always great to support! read more

If you're in the Renton area, Rice N Curry is a spot to pick up some tasty Indian food. Staff was friendly and nice, too. I like the idea of supporting local minority / women owned restaurants since it's difficult for small businesses to survive nowadays. I tried the Butter chicken and it was good. The garlic naan soaked up the curry well. The samosas also stayed crispy and it didn't feel oily to me. Plus, the cilantro green sauce tasted fresh and worked well as a condiment for the samosas. Recommendation: Check out Rice N Curry to show your support if you can. read more
