The food is amazing biryani jackfruit cutlet are great but malpoha is very very sweet we ordered 2 and were not able yo finish it
Friendly service. Delicious food,nice ambiance and music. Their murgh(chicken)masala was very flavorful. Their large size naan bread was fresh and warm.
The food is very tasty and yummy. Not sure what we've got because the name is quite long but I think one of them is chicken tikka masala? Also garlic Naan bread. Can't remember the other one name. All of these are tasted amazing!
I went to the lunch buffet today and LOVED IT! You get the bang for your buck with the lunch buffet special for sure! $17.82 after tax for the lunch buffet and it includes a good amount of food. A really nice option if you are looking to try out Indian food for the first time but are unsure where to start. Aside from the food my experience with the service was top notch - my waiter always kept my water glass full and was quite friendly. He brought out HOT, mouth watering naan and overall I would definitely come back to this place.
It is so nice to have India Bistro in Ballard. The owner who was there this week when we stopped in for dinner is the same guy who has been there for at least 20 years. We shared two entrees and an order of lentil soup and even with a decent tip we still got out the door for less than 50 bucks. Which is saying something in Seattle. The lunch buffet is back as well, and at $18 is not the bargain it was a few years ago at $10, but once again, big city prices. Only a couple of things prevented me from giving India Bistro 5 stars. We were greeted by a staff member wearing a white hoodie with what I swear was an Ewok character printed on the front. This fellow obviously didn't get the "hospitality gene" from his forefathers and never quite got into the "Thank-you-for-coming-in-what-may-I-get-you-to-drink" mode. Another young fellow who took our order was somewhat more outgoing but looked like he might have slept in the shirt he was wearing. This led me to wonder if there's no dress code for front-of-house staff. Which seemed odd because the owner (who was doing most of the serving) was nicely dressed. Guys, if you're going to be meeting the public at least go to Goodwill and pick out a couple of dress shirts (white please), invest in a steam iron and learn how to use it. Also, when I come in it's not my job to have to flag you down so I can place my drink order. You're in a service business; better service means repeat customers and better tips.
The lunch special value and sheer quantity of food cannot be beat. And it warms my heart to see this restaurant pop back up after the pandemic. The lunch buffet is back and that coupled with their bargain lunch special would make this a regular lunch stop if I lived closer to Ballard. The tandoori chicken was a bit dry but other than that, I loved the creamy butter chicken and well cooked rice. The chana masala is also good and nicely smokey. And even after a 30 min drive, the samosas were still warm and crispy.
The mango chicken was heavenly! The cost was fair and the taste amazing! Thank you Parking may be a challenge but it's worth it indeed.
