must try for experiencing the twist but nothing extraordinary ..

loved the vibe, ambience and music! very casual but has its own sort of class. the mango lassi vodka  cocktail was unique and tasty-  they call it boozylassi! the lamb burger was moist and minty, the fried green banana had layers of flavors i could not identify. and the spicedchaikulfi was simply the best.

i remembered our trip to india a while back, and initially found it interesting that restaurants serve only chicken, goat and lamb along with seafood. then, it dawned on us that the no beef and no pork policy was for the majority hindu, and largest minority muslim population in india. most indian restaurants in the states also follows that rule — except guilt trip in redmond, striking out as the rule-breaker.  we went for lunch at off hours, so it was quite quiet.the menu is full of interesting dishes to try, and they have achaibar and a lassi bar, which i will be back for.at thechaibar, they offer the kashmirichaiwhich has no milk, and 4 kinds of chais with different spice combinations.the lassi bar is even more adventurous, with flavors such as apple pie, saffron almond, tamarind date and mango chili.the prominent pork in the restaurant comes in the form of ...

five stars for ambience and service. a fun restaurant with a happy vibe. from the beginning we were greeted warmly, and given a tour of the menu, since at first glance it's not obvious. that's only because we are so used to indian restaurants being of a stereotype - the curries, with sides of rice and breads. everything is different here, and once you begin to see it, it's incredible.

five stars to creativity, we only tried 'different' stuff. the lambda seattle was the best tasting lamb kabob i have ever had, complete with cream cheese and onions! my girlfriend tried the bacon butter chicken and it was very flavorful. my drink was hot spiced wine! wow! a fusion of fragrant spices in wine, and served piping hot! she had a yogurt smoothie lassi drink with spiced chocolate, and again it had a little heat and spice to it as well.

five plus stars to healthy and wholesomeness. the taste and quality of food is very wholesome and for the very first time after eating indian food, we did not feel stuffed, bloated, or thirsty afterwards. or the next day!

five star for price/value. my friend - who owns an infiniti and just got the latest lcd tv - thinks a $10 buffet is better value. but for a freshly made lamb kabob seasoned with amazing spices, complete with hand cut steak fries was only $15! i'm trying to compare with gourmet burger joints and this is incredible! i have to try the combo next time - $15 for a complete meal including a freshchaimade to order. mcdonald's combo meals are $10. a starbuckschaimade of syrup and cannedchaiis $5. go figure!

cons? location and wait times. they were extremely busy on the friday night we went. i'm used to long wait times on weekends - any good place is like that, but wish there was a bar or something close enough to grab a drink while waiting. also i live in seattle so this is a bit of a hike.. but this is our new favorite food joint. don't miss!
