Superlative sambar and great masala dosa! Sad to see the many negative reviews of this place from years past, because on our visit in May 2024 the masala dosa and sambar combo we got were expertly done, and the copious servings were so tasty that we asked to meet the kitchen chef. He had recently come from India after doing a course in hotel management and obviously knew his craft very well. What a shame that this restaurant has earned such bad reputation. We were the only in-house diners on a Sunday at brunch time when neighboring Indian restaurants were full of customers. Multiple chutneys, potato and pea masala inside the dosa, and especially the stellar sambar will definitely make me a repeat customer here. The variety of dosas is pleasing and they have a range of other tiffin style south Indian entrees. Sometimes going off the beaten track and outwitting the Yelp algorithms are beneficial. We had a nice warm chat with the chef and he gave us samples of other things he had made because we told him his sambar was superlative (it really was). Altogether we had a warm, homely, non-capitalistic dining experience in the sanitized corporatocracy that is Bellevue. This was a priceless experience.

Okay okay, so I waited to write this review until we had eaten here twice without incident - this place is awesome and I feel the overall score truly does not reflect the current taste and value of this food. We first came a few weeks ago and ate in person because my partner had fond memories of their biryani from 10+ years ago. I had the butter chicken and he got the chicken 65, and we shared a couple garlic naans. When I tell you that this food was a revelation - you can imagine our complete shock after we had eaten to look up the Yelp reviews for this place to find a horrible overall score from reviews that are 10+ years old. I'm not sure if there were previous problems but I would venture to guess that most of those problems have been alleviated. Their garlic naan is soft, buttery and most critically, really garlicky and probably my favorite naan in the Seattle area. Definitely the best butter chicken I've had (I even asked for spicy and it was actually spicy!!!). The chicken 65 is incredible - moist and really flavorful and best of all the portions are crazy great value. We vowed to ignore the rating and keep this place in business. Yesterday my partner brought home $50 worth of the same dishes (family size chicken 65, normal size butter chicken and garlic naans) and I've already had three full meals just from my butter chicken portion. Who knows how long the biryani will last! No sickness in sight and a lot of tasty leftovers to keep us happy. I would encourage everyone to look past the old reviews and give this place the chance it deserves.

I ordered chicken fried rice there , and was shocked after seeing the quantity, it was a great quantity compared to other places in Seattle. It served 2 people. Although the taste was not up to mark but if we had asked for a bit spicy(Indian spice level) it would have tasted great. I will be visiting again to taste other dishes a try! Previously some of my friends ordered catering for their event. Non-vegetarian food was great though.

Chicken65 biryani is extornady very tasty Good chefs TQ all of you good sarvice and higinic
