I went to this restaurant with my wife when I was visiting Seattle and staying in Olympia. We ordered Paneer Bhuna and Tandoori Roti. The paneer bhuna did not taste good. It did not even had salt and it was very dry. I had high hopes and not this restaurant did not meet my expectations.

We ate here two nights in a row, and we aren’t staying anywhere near it. The drive is 1000% worth it. Both days the food was hot and SO flavorful. It was perfect. The roti and naan were amazing and my friend said she would be dreaming about that meal.

Man I was craving some good food and had seen this place for years. I guess I was missing out this whole time. This food was amazing I had lamb vindaloo and my wife had lamb masala both were amazing, but if I am being honest I liked hers a little better. Don’t skip on the garlic cheese naan bread it’s worth the extra cost.

Food was pretty good. We ordered the lamb samosas, garlic naan, palak paneer and butter chicken. Our favorite was the palak paneer and garlic naan, which was delicious and freshly made. We were hoping to do the buffet that is advertised but it is not available at this time.

The food was tasty and prepared in under 10 minutes. My friend and I were treated to a high quality service by the two female attendants present at the time.

ordered delivery from doordash, and the experience was underwhelming. spinach salad was a container of plain leafs with cheese crumbles at the bottom and ranch for almost 5$. garlic naan was okay. “mixed grill” came with very little lamb or shrimp, barely covered the bottom of container, and came with an inedible brown log of mystery meat. lamb entree was a bit tough and container was barely half full. ($20+each). “two orders of rice” (one for each meat dish) came in one medium sized to go box. reviews were high, but i unfortunately would not spend $50+ here again.

Sins Of Wanderlust
Great Indian food in downtown Olympia. The restaurant is large and easy to get a table without anybody near. Food is authentic and flavors are spot on. Food is not at all greasy or over salted like many Inidan places. We got Med spice level which was too mild so will go spicy next time. Good sized portions that are reasonably priced. Attentive and helpful staff if a bit serious.
