Super, super solid indian place. Hard to find good Indian food in Seattle, and this is probably one of the better ones.

Indian is one of my favorite cuisines so I guess it’s safe to say I have tried a lot. Without a doubt, Kalia on Greenwood has become MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE FOR INDIAN CUISINE….so much that if we are in town, we go at least once a week! Yes, it’s that good! We have tried several dishes on the menu (and enjoyed them all) but we have discovered certain dishes that have become our favorites – Punjabi Vegetables Pakoras, Aloo Tiki, Chicken Mulligatawany (all 3 were the best I’ve had in Seattle) Tawa Chili, Special Tandoor, Saag Paneer (best I’ve had in Seattle) and one that’s not on the menu, Rogan Josh (they have made the best version of this I have tried)! I think you get the point. Beyond the wonderful flavors, this place succeeds where many restaurants don’t…consistency. We expect a certain standard here and they always deliver. Plus, if you like spicy, this is a place that is not afraid to go bold – if you want it. Almost as important as the food, is the friendly service by the family who owns and runs this place. We’ve gone there enough that they know what we want before we even have to say it, and we don’t just feel like friends when we are there, but we feel like family. This place has a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere, and we have shared this place with several friends. Give this place a try, and we’re confident you’ll love it as much as we do.

Stopped in for a weeknight dinner and sat ourselves down quickly. The server was very kind and nice we felt welcome. Just an FYI this place takes spice seriously – we did 4/6 level spice and it definitely packed the heat! Its a very simple interior (no AC).

We ordered chana bhatura and veg platter. The ambience might not be great but the food was above my expectations. Curteous staff, clean place, good menu.

The owner was a creep to me and apparently other women in the reviews.

This happened just a few days ago. The owner or is he just an employee…. He suggested that he give me his phone number so I can know when the location in Lynnwood on 164th would open, as indian food is my favorite in the world & this place or I should say the location that was by the Lynnwood park & ride became my favorite for the last few yrs & then had moved to greenwood temporarily. I usually come to this location as it has became my favorite. Slowly, but surely like i said in the begining the owner or employee started to get to know me & gave me his number so I saved it & I let him know it was me so he can let me know when that 164th Lynnwood would open. Well, it came to a conclusion that it became more than what I’d expected. He wanted wanted more from me & kept texting me & I told him specifically that I’m married & have a child. He knew I was married & have a kid as he’d seen them before, but it didn’t matter to him. It’s now hard for me to say & let go that I will no longer go to this location as I feel uncomfortable with the whole situation. I’m really disappointed as this location was my favorite.

We have been coming here for years and are always so happy with the food, service, and just love the employees. We highly recommend Kalia. We’ve only been to the Greenwood location, but I’m sure the other locations are thriving and are just as fantastic as this location. We usually get the mango chicken, the curry, chicken, the garlic, naan and samosas. Everything’s been spectacular!

Terrible and traumatizing experience. The owner, Kalia, would not stop aggressively hitting on my friend and me. We came in to grab food to-go and Kalia immediately took an obvious interest in us. He kept trying to convince us to dine in and have a beer with him, after we told him we were underage. He was standing way too close for comfort, kept muttering creepy comments under his breath, & even put his hand on my back once. We left the shop while our food was being made and when we came back, Kalia sat us down at a table and tried to serve us alcohol AGAIN. Except this time he literally brought the beer and glasses to our table. After telling him no and that we had somewhere to be (for the 4th time), he laughed at us. Then he asked for our payment & took our credit cards just to come back & tell us he wasn’t charging us bc we were “good people”. Why did he need to take our cards if he wasn’t gonna charge them….. Before walking us out of the restaurant and to our car, he made both of us write down his personal cell phone number too. Literally such an uncomfortable and creepy experience. We just wanted samosas but instead we got harassed and traumatized. At least we didn’t have to pay for the food we got out of that awful experience

Ordered multiple items on Uber eats. Excellent food. Every item was delicious! I’m surprised I didn’t know about this place despite it being near me. Priced reasonably too!
