Kanishka Indian Restaurant

After reading the other reviews on this site we decided to drive from Seattle to Redmond to experience this Indian restaurant for Saturday lunch. We had an awful experience that almost made us think that it was a different place! First the staff (Suaturday lunchtime) seemed to go out of their way to be UNfriendly. The "host" said nothing (not even a greeting) and pointed to empty tables. We had to figure out ourselves that it was a buffte (no menu was offered) so we decided to try. We love Indian food - but have never had totally TASTELESS indian food before, nothing had any spices in it at all. Completely bland and some of it bordering on nasty. Left 2 cents tip and went over the road to the British Pantry to have great fish and chips.

Guys this one truely understands indian spice level. If u say 4 or 5 out of six be prepared to have real hot food. But to be true the food is good and so is the ambience and the service. I love the smamosa chat there.

Kanishka is tucked into a strip mall next to Frederick's Appliance. They have an excellent lunch buffet, which is a good value. The wait staff in general is friendly, with one waiter in particular who is very nice and is good with my kids. I also have to add that their restrooms are EXTREMELY clean and pleasant, which is a big plus for a restaurant!

This place is very grand in the choices, hospitality and the quality of food. We also managed to get some restrictions imposed in the food preparation to our choice and still enjoyed it well.

PROS: Grand dining restaurant
CONS: Expensive

Kanishka is a perfect choice for a quick bite with unique flavor. We often order the Naan, very filling on its own.

The prices are very reasonable and we often order several dishes to go and it only costs a couple of dollars each.

The vegeatable samosas are so delicious.

The food is excellent every single time, they are consistently cooked to perfect and the establishment is very clean.

PROS: Very tasty, well prepared and authentic
CONS:
