    They’re fine otherwise, but I’ve never eaten such mild indian food in my life. I bet I could order everything hot/5 star here & not even blink. Indian food for swedes? :-)

    The word “addictive” comes to mind. Defintiely the best Indian food this side of 99. I agree with piogga about the spice level, but I’m a hot spice wimp so this suits me perfectly. Really good samosas and saag paneer.

    Dig the Aloo Chhole. Also the best chai I’ve had in Seattle.

    I walked in once and the place smelled like stale urine. It may have been the carpet or a funky combination of spices, and it may have no reflection on the food, but it was repulsive enough that I had to leave. Has anyone else smelled this at India Bistro? I’m hesitant to go back.

    The pekoras and samosas are excellent, as is the chicken korma, my husband’s usual. Lovely interior, too.

    My favourite Seattle Indian restaurant.

    Chicken Mahkani here is nothing to write home about. Sauce was a tad bit caustic and the chicken was straight up fatty chunks (consistently). At this point I just get my order and load up on naan + sauce and thats about it. They do good naan and the sauce is okay.

    Delicious Indian. One of the best in Seattle and very, very reasonably priced for all you get. I go every chance I get.

    Can’t beat the lunch buffet. It’s pretty mild, but the price is right. I’ve been there for dinner, and ordering off the menu is a little more exciting. One of the better Indian food places I’ve eaten in Seattle.
