Crispy, thin lentil wafers served with spicy chutneys; a perfect start or accompaniment to any Indian meal.

"This is possibly the worst Indo Chinese food I have ever had in the US. The Manchow Soup, whether vegetarian or chicken, is basically just a soup of red chilies that is extremely hot and spicy with no vegetables or noodles. Eating this soup will almost certainly give anyone diarrhea. The Golden Chili Baby Corn is also disappointing, as it is only made with red chili paste and the baby corn is very hard, lacking in flavor and tasting only like chili. I ordered Chicken Noodles or Schezwan, but received fried rice that was excessively spicy with only chili flakes and chicken that tasted old and stale. I feel like my $50 was completely wasted. Despite its high ratings, this restaurant serves the worst Indo Chinese food. I will never order from here again and will not be returning. They are simply taking advantage of people with their poor quality and truly unhealthy food."

"I ordered delivery. The food was packaged very well, no spillage. After reading many reviews a lot mentioned that the food was a bit spicier than expected so I took the advice and ordered it medium level, glad I did because 1 level more would have probably been a bit much and I like a fare amount of spice. Everything was delicious and will definitely be ordering again in the future!"

"This was our first visit I have enjoyed Indian food before so I'm not a total novice but navigating the menu became a bit of a challenge was hoping to stay healthy and one dish came unexpectedly with fried ingredients another came laden with carbs that I hoping to avoid suggest asking for clarification on what will be served most of the food was good portions varied appetizers were hearty lentil soup was served in very small cup we are not deterred and will try again but with guidance. Server was friendly and efficient."

"I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was great, service on time, and the atmosphere was pleasant for my husband and I. If its your first time trying Indian cuisine the servers will help you with your selection. I'm anxious to try some of their other items on the menu."

"Ambrosia is about as good and Indian cuisine that you could ask for in this vicinity. The Garlic Naan is super buttery. The Samosas are large and flavorful. The Butter Chicken is a really sweet treat. I had the Traditional Curry Lamb which had a wonderful sauce, however I found the meat especially though. Service is super attentive and very helpful too. I recommend checking it out."

"I was in an Indian movie, so I decided to have a great Indian brunch. the movie was long so I really appreciated that the restaurant was open until 15:00. it was 2:00 when I arrived, and there were still many delicious offers at the buffet. actually there were so many different types of dressed that I couldn't taste them all! what gave me a food was one of them plant chow mine! an Indian feedbuffet! as well as always, the normal standards that I love not disappointed, butter huhn, tandoori huhn, papdum, all were excellent! also loved the cheerful and carrots halwa dessert. I will return definitiw after passage to india if I happen to be in the neighbourhood. otherwise it is a destination from san jose to mountain view, about 20 mi."

"Probably one of my favorite places to get Indian cuisine in the Seattle Area. One perk of this location in the University district, is that there is a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant itself (pay-to-park). The restaurant itself has a decent amount of seating. It has a very local mom and pops vibe, and feels like you 're at home having a meal. Their service is really good as well. If you have not had Indian food before, as always, try the Chicken Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken. You can 't go wrong. Their naan is so good as well! Probably one of the largest portions of naan I 've gotten in one order. Which pairs amazing with any of their dishes. Their prices are decent, and my request would be to get more pieces of meat in their dishes. The chicken is cooked so well, but just didn 't feel like there was enough for an order."

"Upon our arrival, the restaurant could not locate our reservation that had been made through OpenTable. We were informed that they had not been working with OpenTable for the past three months. Despite our surprise, we were told that we were only the second customers that day who had made a reservation through OpenTable. We were informed that we would have to wait 45 minutes. We decided to wait and proceeded to have our meal. Can someone clarify who is correct in this situation - OpenTable or Clay Pit?"

"I've visited this restaurant almost six times now, and the food is consistently excellent. We had the beef teriyaki and the walnut delight, both of which were delightful. It’s a cute and cozy little place; however, I believe some of the waitstaff could benefit from additional training. Our waitress was very sweet, but I felt there should be more consideration for customers’ dining experiences. She approached our table at least four times, even after I kindly requested to be left undisturbed. While I understand she was trying to ensure we had everything we needed, I ended up feeling rushed. When another waitress came over and asked if we were finished, it really gave me the impression that we were no longer welcome. We hadn't even received our bill yet, and our table was almost cleared! Yes, we were eating slowly, but I think it's important to be able to enjoy a meal at a leisurely pace. I work two jobs, and my cousin travels often, so we appreciate the opportunity to relax and savor our time together. Honestly, I'm not sure if I feel comfortable returning to a place where I don’t feel welcomed."

"The veggie korma, butter chicken, and pomegranate chicken were absolutely incredible. I can't get enough of the papadums served with chutney before the meal; they're simple yet bursting with flavor. We've tried various Indian restaurants, and this one is hands down the best. We live in Mount Vernon and happily make the 45-minute drive once a month just to enjoy this amazing food!"

"very good food, but they want you in and out. eating is too fast, even if they don't order everything at once. the waiting staff is not friendly at all. the couple next to us was in and out in 35 minutes. we tried to spread the courses and always wanted to be asked if we were willing to order our entrees. when we ordered, we were told that eating lasted at least 20 minutes and it came in 10 minutes."

"Wonderful spicy food! Two of us went for Restaurant week, both ordered medium hot entrees. Her goat curry was just the right spiciness, and she enjoyed it tremendously. My chicken dish was just bit too spicy, but on request we were given a delicious raita which helped tremendously. The samosas and pakoras were good, as was the tamarind sauce/chutney, but the coriander chutney was watery and didn't have much flavor. The chai was delicious. We had the mango pudding and rice pudding for dessert. The mango pudding was very good, not too sweet. The rice pudding was not like the kheer I expected it had cinnamon and dark raisins in it and was extremely sweet. It was quite pleasant, though. Servings were generous both my friend and I have gotten at least two additional meals from our entrees!"

"Five of us shared two appetizers, three entrees and two vegetable dishes. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We requested mild level of spice. The service was great. We also ordered nan, raita, and mango chutney. We enjoyed a leisurely dinner. Will definitely return soon with another group. Perfect for sharing dishes"

"Every time I visit this restaurant, it's an amusing experience. The first time I came here with some colleagues, my chair kept sliding further and further away from the table. At that time, they only offered a lunch special featuring a tofu curry. Out of all the wonderful Indian curry options, tofu is certainly a lower-tier vegetarian choice. They have since added an à la carte menu. When the server brought out our meals, he noticed my Chana Masala and commented that it was authentic Indian cuisine. He then proceeded to rearrange my fork, stir my plate right in front of me, and put some of my beans and ginger on my coworker's plate. I was taken aback; I really don't appreciate other people meddling with my food. On my last visit, it took almost an hour to get our lunch. Typically, if I order pakoras as an appetizer, they come in a basket, but this time we received just four small pieces of carrot and one small battered broccoli floret. For vegans, I recommend taking a look at the complimentary soft options they offer."

"The food is always fresh and service is second to none. They fill your water before it’s empty and take the dirty plates as soon as you’re done. This is my favorite Indian restaurant. I’ve tried a couple others, but always come back to New Krishna. Prices are reasonable and the buffet is delicious!! My husband and I go there about once a week and they always remember us. Highly recommend."

"This is not my top choice for curry, but it was quite tasty. I was hoping for more flavor in the Garlic Naan. The spicy Bullet Naan didn't appeal to me because of the unique taste of green chili, but that's just a personal preference. The Saag Paneer was delicious, and the Samosa was pretty good. I was happy that they provided a side of Onion Relish, but I wish they had given me more. Overall, it was a pretty good experience."

"I recently visited Essence of India, Indian restaurant and had an exceptional dining experience. The food was simply amazing, with all vegetarian dishes that were bursting with authentic flavors. Every dish was a delight, showcasing the rich and diverse culinary traditions of India. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch to the meal. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine."

"As you can see from the photos, this restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I had reserved a seat by the fireplace which was so cozy on a damp, cold, New England day. There is a large selection of food and drinks to choose from. I got theThali feast which consisted of a kale and cucumber salad, garlic naan, rice and two sauces. One was sweet and the other was tomato based. It comes with three sides so I ordered chicken, steak and lamb kabobs. I found it a little difficult to understandmy server but she got the job done and was very friendly. This is my second visit to this restaurant and I will definitely comeback again to sample more of the menu."
