When you’re in the market for buying a new home, people might be giving you advice on which real estate agent to choose, the area/locality to live in, and what to be wary of in case somebody is out to scam you. It can be a daunting and tedious task, we know. There are so many factors that you need to take into consideration, we know. In addition to finances, color tones, number of rooms, bathroom fittings, and so on, and on. The list does seem quite endless, doesn’t it? Your mind must be riddled with calculations and opinions. So we thought we'd step in and add another criterion that we think is crucial and should factor into narrowing down your choices: Indian food in and near the Bothell area!
Food is an integral part of what makes a house a home (which most buyers may not consider). You could be reading this blog and smelling the aroma of tadka in the dal makhani you had for lunch. So here are the top five Indian food restaurants in Bothell! Tried and tested by yours truly.
1. Fusion India: A Masal-E-Dar culinary journey!
With the quirky ambiance, the food, and the serving aesthetic, this place makes the eating experience truly memorable. While they specialize in Indo-Chinese food like the one you get back at home, their purely Indian food is truly food for the soul.
From Manchow soup to Koliwada prawn fry, they have a variety of salivating food that is uniquely named. Restaurant frequenter favorites include vada pav, pani puri, paneer chili, & goat curry. A great place to order snacks from when you have guests over and place for a hearty meal, too. When you visit this place, you’ll enjoy a hearty slice of Indian pop culture too.
This unmissable family-owned restaurant is truly an Indian Paradise! Biryani and kebab galore, they certainly know how to tenderize their meats. Make sure you take a picture as soon as you get your food because according to the myth, the food is so good that it disappears just as quickly as it appears!
Kirkland's most rated Kerala restaurant, Kathakali is a must-try! Albeit it's not in Bothell, it's just a five-mile drive away! Appam, Idiyappam, adai dosa, avial, you name it and they have it. A special mention to kappa and karimeen polichathu to brighten up your gloomy day. Top it off with a generous scoop of chakka ice cream and it’s the perfect weekend recipe for a glorious afternoon nap.
4. Delhi Bombay Pizza
The Desi boys who have mastered the perfect crust-to-sauce ratio and are always experimenting with their menu, which seems to get better with every passing day! They serve sandwiches, salads, wings, and calzones, too! The butter chicken pizza and Hyderabadi spicy paneer are their bestsellers! Service with a smile.
5. Five Rivers Indian Restaurant
There are two essential words in the English dictionary to describe the food from this restaurant: authentic and delicious– A culinary CPR to revive those Indian taste buds. Relatively large portion sizes and refreshing lassi options. Do give this a try if you’re in the area!
When we say “we got you”, we are talking to your calculation-ridden mind and to your Indian food-craving tummy.
