Review & Rating
Food was pretty good, just docking a star for price. A mutton roll should not cost $8. I guess it’s the result of the lack of Tamil people in Seattle.
Delicious, mostly vegetarian dishes. $4 for a very small Naan is a bit steep....if it was as big as my head ok, this was quite small maybe 5-6". Good service.
Great food. Not too expensive. I knocked off a star because their perimeter seating leaves half the people facing the wall.
From the second you open that golden door, you realize you're going to be completely immersed. The smell of curry, deep colors and beautiful lighting set the mood for a meal rich in bold flavors. Everything is meant for sharing. We had 4 dishes + dessert and it was the perfect amount for two people. The naan with chutney, fried chicken and cauliflower were all incredible. The drink menu was one of the most unique I've seen, and delicious. Come early, otherwise you'll be waiting and there isn't much space for that in this compact restaurant. Highly recommend!
Definitely a new favorite. We had the Adams Peak and King coconut and both drinks were delicious. All the food we had were super flavorful with one of the best fried chicken in the city. Can’t wait to come back.
Had a wonderful experience here! Friendly knowledgeable staff! Great experience! Coming from Dallas it’s nice to meet good friendly neighborhood classy people! Thanks we will be back!!!
Fun spot. Really loved the fried chicken, the naan, and the cocktails! Small plates, so great for sharing with friends. Excited to come back!
I came in after hearing good things about the bar program, and the drinks were excellent. Unique, interesting, and delicious. The house made tonics were great too. But the food. The food blew the drinks out of the water. Absolutely amazing. The deviled prawns and fried chicken were both fantastic and worth coming back for anytime. The dhal curry was my highlight of the night though, super delicious and complex for such a simple dish. The staff were very friendly and helpful too, offering good recommendations and making sure we were well taken care of. This meal was well worth the few minutes wait for a table in my mind.
Phenomenal small dishes and the cocktails were excellent. I'd definitely recommend the fried chicken and the prawns, truly wonderful. Great comfortable little space with excellent service, will definitely return to explore the menu further!
Fantastic new spot. Lovely experience and I was even able to meet and speak with the head chef. Great spot to come and try some different food items that have been expertly crafted and plated with care. Pricing is very reasonable and the staff were all very attentive. Good spot for a date and a shared meal of 4 to 5 (or more) items from their menu. Would maybe not bring a party of more than 4 as space is a bit limited, but I feel this also adds to the ambiance and overall experience. Get here early as there tends to be a wait. I would recommend and will return. I'm also excited to see the menu develop with the changing seasons.
Fantastic spot! Narrow spot that seats few and romantically intimate. Great design and decor; delighted with brass Phoenix bathroom door handle. Friendly service. Great food with simple menu. Fried chicken is incredibly tender with light but flavorful peppery coat. Fish curry is delicate and not a strong dish comparatively. Cauliflower is buttery with tasty sauce. Ribs were tender. Shrimp is interesting but unimpressed with fried shrimp shells. Dessert is worth having.
