An amazing selection

"Walking along Pike Place this spot is just up the street. Stopped in for lunch buffet! 11.95 and an amazing selection. The tiki masala and spicy chicken curry were outstanding. Will be back soon for sure! "

Staff friendly good atmosphere.

"Excellent Indian food at this small restaurant that’s nearly hidden in plain view where Belltown and Pike Place come together. My girlfriend and I dropped in here for an early dinner and we loved it. Upon entering, the dim light and low ceiling almost gives the impression that some remodeling is needed, but once you get to the dining area it brightens up with warm yellows and maroons, along with many silkscreens decorating the walls. The booths are roomy and comfy. The menu seemed, to my untrained eye, to focus more on Indian than on Nepalese–not a criticism, just an observation. There were several pages of enticing Indian options; my GF choose the kastoori curry with shrimp, and I got my favorite, mutter paneer, and some plain naan. She also got a house cab and I got a pint of kingfisher beer and a chai tea. Our food arrived in a quick and timely way, and the entrees each were placed atop little heaters with votive candles to keep them warmed throughout–we thought that a nice touch and rather elegant too. The kastoori curry was magnificent. The kastoori spice (a rarity from the Himalayas according to the menu) and other ingredients gave the dish a lovely tanginess and rich, deep flavor. The shrimp were a touch overcooked and tough, but they were so delicious, we were thrilled with them. And the mutter paneer was a nice complement–sweet and creamy, with the contrasting texture of the paneer and peas. The naan and rice were perfect, and kingfisher is a mighty fine beer, too. We got our dishes 4 stars out of 6, a.k.a. “medium hot,” and we both thought it not particularly spicy. This presents a tactical dilemma for our next visit…I’m a little concerned about how safe it is to extrapolate to 5 or 6 stars; if I order spicier next time, will the cooks think, “okay, tough guy…” and give me something that will lay waste to my mind, body and soul? I don’t know, but I am determined to find out.” "
