the guilt trip

this is an amazing restaurant, i chanced to go on a business trip. there is a prominent rainbow flag right outside which is incredible in itself! gay pride/ lgbt friendly in the deep eastside! food is very good fusion, wonderful flavors, with a warm neighborhood feel to it. it feels more like a pnw restaurant primarily than anything else

i went here without a plan and it turned out to be the best choice. the vadapav was amazing, tastes exactly like the one you get in mumbai. food presentation is excellent, so as the service. they have an excellent varieties of desserts which you should not miss.
felt little expensive but felt totally worthy.

amazing delicious food! not sure what i like the most. ambience is cozy and warm. staff is very friendly and genuine. and food is tasty and fresh. cocktails are unique and flavorful. must try.

quirky little place, with uncomfortable chairs, delicious food and cocktails, and fast service. but!, serving sizes are too small for the steep prices they charge. nothing complimentary to begin with either. i have paid these kinds of prices at fine dining indian restaurants, with terrific ambience.

loved it! the sangria was chilled and had some mild spices and berries. made with fresh real fruits! and the bacon butter chicken was seriously delicious. cant' wait to get back again!

food is good but little costly . but there service is good and people are really polite which is half part of food . there indian street food option are really good

this place definitely stands aside of all other places around.. the taste of food is really good.. drinks are fine but is highly priced am not sure if its worth thats the reason for 3rating else i would have given 4.

must try for experiencing the twist but nothing extraordinary ..

the tag line for the guilt trip should be - indian with a twist. the food, the ambiance, the twists to the recipes and yet the familiarity that reminds you of home are worth the slightly high price points.

we have been here a couple of times with friends and the guilt trip in addition to great food offers great warmth and a brilliant setting for a great conversation. the decor is festive and yet homely, quite similar to the food which@ is experimental and yet rooted in true flavors. they don't ask you - "how spicy?"... they tell you, "this will be spicy!" (or not)... and that to me is the essence of a true indian culinary experience... the chef knows.

if you are in the neighborhood, or need to make an effort, do give guilt trip a try... it is worth it!!

excellent food for indian palate i was fed up with bland sweet foods of many restaurants here but a sip of pineapple rassam oh man what a taste tangy spicy awesome .then we ordered mango chilly lassi , chole bhature, kale allu puri , gnocchi pasta & what not fantastic..

give it a slip. a friend of ours booked a table for 6 here. it was a cold windy evening. the restaurant had a promise for good food...touted as the indian fusion. we were seated close to the patio door. the tables were small with hard wooden chairs. our ordeal started with the bartender was showing some clientele the outdoor patio space. he opened the door and left it open, cold breeze for every body...we all screamed please close the door after you and he retorted saying something super smart and did not close the door, we had to tell him again and we kept getting dirty looks from him thereafter.
the same thing repeats once again ...how difficult is it to close the door after you. if the comfort of your clients doesnt matter to you, you might as close and go home.
we were billed a total of $334/- with 20% tips. for a round of cliched drinks like elaichi whisky, tamarind margarita, mango chilli lassi with hot pepper seeds and food laden with sugar that was expensive. there was hardly any mango in the mango lassi, plenty of pepper seeds and sugar though. we had ordered chips & bangra, talli walli pani puri, lamb sliders and amchi mumbai pav as starters, the sliders and pav were served cold and were just about edible, chips and bangra is just some pieces of pappad with two chutneys.
our entrees were bacon butter chicken, palak kofta curry, amritsari fish & chips, haryali chicken tikka and aloo kale curry. the food was a complete disappointment butter chicken was drowning in sugar, the chips in amritsari fish & chips were insipid, the haryali chicken tikka too dry...nothing to write home about palak kofta curry and aloo kale curry. adding a slice of bacon to sweet & syrupy butter chicken is not fusion. get your act together. when i told the waiter the butter chicken was too sweet, he retorted back saying that is the way it is cooked in punjab. sorry dude, i have been to both sides of punjab india and pakistan and nowhere is it so stupidly sweet.
we were so done with our dinner... but my wife likes her desserts so we ordered one plate malpuas and a friend ordered cardamom kulfi. the cardamom kulfi was icy and full of ice crystals, the malpuas were the only thing which were good in this restaurant. the lady who served us (tracy) was nice though. avoid at all costs.

awesome and tasty food! bacon butter chicken, cardamom whiskey are to die for. the servers are very sweet and chill and genuinely friendly, every single one of them. and i go mainly for the vibe, its very warm and welcoming, the rainbow flag and unisex bathrooms, the chalkboards are all great!

my husband and i got violently ill after eating here on valentines day.. we were there for 2 hours basically waiting to get served very small dishes and pay an insane price. the food was subpar and i am so disappointed that i gave this place a chance. especially after the way the owner has treated this situation. it has been almost two weeks since the incident and we have yet to reach a compromise with this guy. after abiding by their "refund policy" the owner decided he needed to contact my doctors office to ask them questions about my care. i'm not sure why the owner of the business feel it is appropriate to do that. i have tried over and over to give this business a chance to make things right and they still will not. please save yourself the headache and the upset stomach and do not even think about eating here. i have never been so disgusted by a business in my life.

update after abiding by their "refund policy" the owner decided he needed to contact my wife's doctors office to ask them questions about her care. i'm not sure why the owner of the business feel it is appropriate to do that. i have tried over and over to give this business a chance to make things right and they still will not. please save yourself the headache and the upset stomach and do not even think about eating here. i have never been so disgusted by a business in my life.

i would give negative stars if i could. this restaurant gave my wife and i food poisoning and the owner refused to refund our money. he claimed he made the food fresh in the morning and we ate at 9pm. i have contacted the department of health. do not eat here. you will regret it for the rest of the week literally. the food was beyond mediocre and the service was completely non existent. ruined indian food for me for a while.

tasty meal here. good good kabob tikka chicken dish, very delicous spiced hot wine and the servers are all friendly and welcoming and polite, i like very much!

excellent place to enjoy different type of indian food.
they serve the best wadapav in seattle.
tried various dishesh -
1. mumbai pav - it is exactly the same wadapav you get in mumbai. must have dish.
2. chicken kathi roll - chicken was good and the wrap was freshly made.
3. kale potato curry - nice dish for vegetetian lovers which is served with puri.
4. all their chai's are nice and unique.
