Like people are saying Kashmiri chai is definitely the way to go here. I tried an iced chai (which…read morethey said was the dumm chai), a regular hot chai, and a kashmiri chai with pistachios and the other chai were very traditional in the way they're not sweet at all and a bit bitter. But kashmiri was more modern and really well-balanced, straight up delicious especially with the pistachios! Also dear lord this is one of the best mango lassi I've ever had, definitely don't sleep on that. In general I love this business for its extremely unique presentation and implementation. It has a walk-up window outside you can order from with a table reserved specifically for chai house. Or you can walk into the kebab house restaurant it's attached to and get to the lovely low-lighting and beautifully designed chai house interior where it's filled with cozy seating and a self-serve order kiosk. I ordered a lot and it all came quick which was great. I also ordered both the rice pudding (lahori firni) and carrot pudding (gajar ka halwa) desserts. I wish I asked the best way to have them (temp, add-ins, etc) but 30 mins out of the fridge they had a mild and off-putting flavor for me. Will inquire about them next time I'm in, because I will certainly be back for those delish kashmiri chai and mango lassi!

We were greeted and seated promptly. Interior has warm tones with comfy booths. Started with…read morecalamari which had a slightly spicy breading that went well with the squid. Very tasty dipped in the cilantro chutney. Garlic naan was also good with the chutney. Basmati rice was standard, low to no seasoning allowed the curries we ordered to stand out. We ordered lamb rogan gosht and fish karai gosht spicy (options were low, med, spicy). Good heat without overpowering the other spices and flavors in the curries. Very good reheated as a leftover as well.

Came here twice with my friend for take-out and both times it was average. Enough to come back, but…read morenot enough to get excited about. I must obligatorily state that I love Indian food. It's probably my favorite cuisine. I hold each visit to a place to a high standard and here at Shahi, it's just passable. My first visit I got my usual Butter chicken. Not bad, but the curry flavor is really good, but the actual chicken seems lacking, as in literally, just more curry than anything. The Garlic Naan is both times hit the mark and are fairly generous with four decent sized pieces. Most recent I got the Tikka Masala which had a nice kick that I asked for, but the chicken again I feel like could've been more plentiful. I tried some of my friends Paneer Masala which was decent. We also go the "Mix Delight" - "A selection of Samosa, Chicken Pakora, Chicken Tikka and Beef Kabob. Served with cilantro and tamarind chutneys." This was fine as sort of a sampler but there was exactly one samosa, one beef kabob and lots onion for some reason. At $22 and as an "appetizer" I found this to be pretty lackluster. My last complaint is that there was some sort of celebration going on here. The banquet room next to the dining area was full. They had one guy taking and checking out take-out orders as well as tending to the tables, there were two families dining in and 4 of us looking to do take out. It took several minutes for him to even show up because he was so busy. Was he in the back cooking too?? Really, get this guy some help. Shahi has room for improvement and my buddy, and I more than likely will return to get our Indian fix, especially me, but beyond the passable food, the portions just seem a bit off.

I've been quite regularly visiting this place for authentic indian food around kirkland area. The…read moreambience of the place is welcoming, its usually never crowded, and probably only place in seattle area service authentic bengali food. I always go with Goat biriyani which never fails me. The prices are on higher side, however - definitely not one of the affordable indian options but worth visiting for the taste. Goat Biriyani - 5 stars Biriyani is served piping hot with tender goat; this is one of the softest goat dish I have had. The goat is usually overcooked and loses its texture in other places. I love the aloo included in the biriyani. One of the best biriyanis in seattle area - hope the taste never changes. Tandoori Fish - 5 starts The fish was good too - cooked in a tandoori over so retained its char taste. The portion size of the fish is pretty good given its appetizer.

SLIMY PUKE SMELLING MUSHY BIRYANI…read more We've been long time patrons and taken many friends here over the years. Must have dined here twenty times. But my takeout experience today was unbelievable. Walked into an empty restaurant. Had to go into the kitchen to find a guy. Did not see the usual owners. Ordered a takeout. 1. The mutton biryani has a putrid puky smell to it. The biryani rice is mushy and sticky like Japanese rice. The orange chunks of goat have a slime to it. Had to toss it into the trash 2. The Golbari Kosha Mangsho - tasty but not the staple they have been serving over the years The city authorities should shut down this place for serving spoilt food. Checked their website - No one's renewed the hosting. So I guess this is the end of the line for the business

I had the beef souvlaki plate and the beef was perfectly cooked. The tzatziki sauce was amazing. The side of fries we also ordered were crispy and loaded with garlic. Turkish coffee was so strong. The food took a little while to come out. Maybe 30-45 minutes, but we had a big group of 15+ and the restaurant appears to be family owned with a small amount of staff. If it was just a small group, the food probably would have came out faster. The woman there was so nice and friendly and was very accommodating with our requests! Highly recommend stopping by if you are a fan of Mediterranean food.

For a group of four adults with a normal hungry, we ordered a small beef set and fried chicken, which was plenty. The banchan was fantastic, especially the Myungranjut.

Steamed eggs came out looking amazing (haven't seen it like this before) but was on the dry side; to each their own but we like it more brothy like Chicken wings were ok not great... the dish I didn't expect much from was the fried rice but it turned out to be the best dish!! Not because it's just "better than the other dishes" but it was truly amazing, it just had a great taste to it! Soup was yummy too and came with clear noodles Proportions are to the smaller size making prices a bit high but banchans were refilled quickly. Recommend because their food had its own special taste/ dishes that you will remeber it by. Was a fun place to eat and staff was friendly!

There was decent flavors too. My only issue is the price. I'm won't be picking up food here anytime soon as I don't think the price is fair or accurate. I find this to be a running theme with one off family run businesses who have no experience or background in pricing. It's pretty clear that they don't bother doing enough market or competitive research. Instead they charge whatever they want. Until there's common sense prices I'm going to keep looking. I do recommend this place, please check them out if you can afford it because the food is great.
