Message from India Bistro

Since 1998, India Bistro has brought the complex flavors and rich textures of authentic Indian cuisine to the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard. Now we celebrate the grand opening of our second location in the Roosevelt District! The best known style of regional cooking comes from the north of India. When the Moghuls came to this region, they introduced elaborate dishes that were beautifully presented on gold and silver platters. The dishes also were given beautiful sounding names. Whether you're looking for a delicious Indian restaurant for a quick lunch or a special occasion dinner, we're an excellent option. We also offer catering for any of your party-planning needs. Call or come visit us today. We can't wait to serve you at India Bistro!

The Scene
An upscale version of this Indian food favorite's Ballard location, this spot boasts an airy two dining room space with soft lighting and huge windows looking out over Roosevelt Square. The smaller eating area overlooks an open-style kitchen and buffet bar, with the main dining room overlooking a full-service bar. A friendly waitstaff and innovative menu keep the bistro humming with activity--the UW crowd and neighborhood locals alike will feel at home.

The Food
The mixed appetizer offers a sampling of vegetable, chicken, and fish pakoras, as well as samosa and kebab selections. The murgh shorba lentil soup is a healthy starter. Dishes such as chicken vindaloo and vegetable Goa curry boast aromatic, full flavors, with the signature dish, rack of lamb masala, featuring tender medallions of meat marinated in a delicious garlic sauce. Naan choices include spinach- and lamb-stuffed options.

Great Indian Food

by caliginous 5 India Bistro

The food is great here. My Indian friend brought me because it reminds her the most of her mom's cooking back home. The flavors are complex and well rounded, they don't just make it spicy and leave it at that. There's a depth to each dish that is terrific. My idea of moderately spicy doesn't match with theirs though, two stars was eye watering, though the leftovers were perfectly mellowed. This is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Seattle.

Pros: Full flavor, well developed dishes

Cons: service can be slow on occasion
