The cook here does not listen. First visit was ok, had a 3 star paneer tikka masala and samosas. Samosas were so spicy my kids couldnt have any, but the 3 star heat tikka masala was so bland and mild that i fed it to my 2 year old. Next visit was for the same thing, but 4 star heat. I called the order in, asked for no salad, and he said yeah man no problem and hung up. Didnt tell me a cost, or ETA for order. Very rude and poor customer service. Showed up and still got a salad and for no reason at all my tikka masala had added broccoli in it? So he tool it back, pulled out the broccoli and most of the paneer, and added a crap ton of heat. I assume to punish me for asking for no broccoli when I never ordered or asked for it. Got home and it was not edible due to the heat. Insane and painful, zero flavor just fire. Called - he apologized and said come on down tomorrow and I will remake it. Just showed up to pick up, and he want to charge me full price. This is after he over charged me a dollar the first time for broccoli I didnt ask for. Nightmare of an ordeal...so much wasted time and gas, and then the liar goes back on his word. Do not support this guy.

Literally just put my cup in his garbage can and the guy working starts freaking out yelling at me and my boyfriend, gets in my boyfriends face saying we need to ask permission to use his trash can. Like really? He was calling us names, cussing at us and kept taking off his hat like he wanted to fight. Very unprofessional. This guy is a psycho. No customer service skills. We have our 13 year old little sister and her friend with us that kind of language and attitude was completely unnecessary. I wouldnt recommend eating here just based on the way this guy treated me and my family.

The cook, Roger, is a master at his craft. The flavors are to die for. I had the lamb mango curry, #4 spicy. The flavor explosion between the sweet mango and the spice was skirting the edge of heat and sweet. The wait was long because everything is made to order and it was worth it. I was never a fan of Indian food until now. Good thing I can call Uber eats for pick up. I will be a frequent customer from now on. Loved this place!!!! So many restaurant now a days are dissapointing and you leave like they cheated you. Dont be fooled by the local, this is a must have.

I ordered from here via UberEats. I was dying for Indian food, and had no desire to wait in traffic on Hwy 509 or Pt of Tacoma Rd. Food prep was fast less then 10 minutes. Uber was held up by a train but food was packaged well and was still hot when it got here. Flavors AMAZING. Spice level...Medium just like I requested...Rice...Perfect....I order Tikka Masala....It was everything I had hoped for and more. I have a new favorite lunch on the Port...UberEat Folks. Get great food you dont have time to travel to cause of that half hour lunch break

Im pregnant and have always loved indian food. My husband has never had it. I had a major craving for some chicken coconut curry and sent my husband to find it. The staff there was very kind helped him with the order and even taught him a few things. The food was fantastic and surprisingly inexpensive. All round great experience. Im sending husband again today.

Plenty of vegan options. The naan is NOT vegan (yogurt and egg). They were very kind and helpful. Not too pricey. Its in a train station international food court with many other wonderful restaurants. Not super quick, but not slow. Wait for 2 dishes, 15 minutes. Many families in the food court.

Love this place! I love spicy food and theyre always up for the challenge to help me find my tolerance level! Their food is incredibly flavorful and theyve mastered the spicy challenge while still making it tasty! I highly recommend the lamb vindaloo and their salad dressing is delish!

This place is amazing. Ive been coming here for years, and I have never had something I didnt like. My go to standby is the paneer tikka masala, but everything is good. The owner Raj is a super chill, awesome guy who will hook you up with some boss curry.

Delicious food with above and beyond customer service. I would recommend this place to anyone, I always bring my family and friends here. If youre a vegetarian, I definitely recommend the paneer tikka masala! I get it almost every time.

The chef helped us pick the perfect dishes, the food was handmade and excellent!! Very friendly staff, will come back again. Prices reasonable. Word of advice, 4 stars is blow your head off hot...Go with 3 stars if you like spicy.

Great selection for a food court style place, but the food quality is well above what you would expect from the location. Service was friendly and helpful as well. Ordered: Chicken Paleek Masala Garlic Naan

My chicken biryani was fresh and delicious! The bell peppers and onions were still full of flavor and the rice was perfectly spiced at the medium level I ordered. With a cooling mango lassi, Ill be back!
