I was looking for a place with good vegetarian options, and this lovely restaurant appeared on my list. I will start with the punch line, and say I highly recommend this Indian restaurant in the Pioneer Square area.
We started with cocktails, and I had their riff on a French 75 with the addition of mango. They happily adjusted mine with less mango. It is a lovely cocktail. We shared a plate of hara bara tikki. These were crispy fritters containing spinach, paneer, mint, jalapeno, and cilantro. These were excellent.
We had three entrees. The chicken patiala was delicious. The sauce was superb! So good! I ordered the vegetable kofta curry, which were vegetable dumplings in a green curry sauce made with spinach and cashews. It was quite flavorful. The sarson kag saag is apparently a very special dish composed of long cooking mustard greens served surprisingly with a naan made with corn! It has a Northern India dish, with a very unique flavor.
This is not your usual Indian restaurant. The menu is composed of selections that represent different regions in India. It makes the menu and the food extremely interesting. The food has not been "Americanized".
The owner chatted with us a lot. The service was fantastic. We ended up ordering a dosa, which apparently a common rice/lentil pancake eaten in southern India, and of course gluten free. It was crispy and, interestingly, slightly sour.
We had a yummy kulfi ice cream, and chikoo ice cream which is made from a fruit in the sapote family.
The owner brought over a small dessert on him that he thought we would enjoy. It was basically like a skinny funnel cake dipped in syrup with a yummy dipping sauce. I think it was gulab juman. So interesting.
I recommend this lovely restaurant. You will not be disappointed.
Went here on a recommendation from our underground tour guide, it did not disappoint! Super yummy! Basically everything on the menu is gluten free if you don’t eat the pita. The falafel was our favorite!!!
Amazing food. So good - i havent had one bad thing and the gluten free empanadas are the bomb!!! Great spot. Super cute inside. They also have some outdoor seating.
Everything here is delicious and the staff is incredibly kind. Being gluten free can make it challenging when eating out, but Cassie at Saigon Drip was super kind in helping me find items in the menu that I could eat and even checked with the chef to make sure.
I had the Bun Bo Hue and it was incredible!
I’m so happy to have this spot in the neighborhood!
Fantastic tapas experience. Diego was so helpful in figuring out gluten free options, and the arepas, tostones, pulpo, and wine were all phenomenal. Great atmosphere, too!
I had the jalepeno burger and it was delicious. It was one of the few ''spicy'' things I've had in Seattle that is actually spicy. They even had gluten free buns!
Hunter is PHENOMENAL. He is a wonderful server here and also is a sommelier by training with a WEALTH of knowledge and wisdom. We learned so much and had such a fun night here solely because of him, he’s great! Also the food was good with some great gluten free pasta options :-)
