India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind. The ever-increasing fan base of Indian food around the New York city is steadily increasing because of the large number of Indians who traveled to the land of dreams. The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet. Indian food also boasts of some popular non-vegetarian dishes too. Few examples are the famous Butter Chicken, Mutton Biryani and Tandoori Chicken are enough to satisfy your taste buds.
Indian food has gained reputation all over the world especially in the United States. You can find many places serving the appetizing Indian food across all major cities in the US. India is a diverse country with different food culture originated from different parts of the country. While the Northern region boasts tandoori dishes and korma offering royal taste, the Western Ghats offers sea foods that is made in naturally sweet tender coconut milk. The South Indian food servers a quality of different dishes made from rice accompanied with spicy chutneys, curries and famous sambhar. Also, the Indian sweets are a delight to relish. If you ever want to have a burst of sugar syrup in mouth, don't forget to try few Bengali Sweets. Be it spicy, tangy, or sweet flavor, you can find everything in the Indian cuisine. Be assured that the melody of spices will surely bring delight to you.

I very much wanted to like this place, both because of the friendly people and because of the other reviews on this site. Unfortunately, it seemed to leave quite a bit to be desired. Both of us left feeling like it would be a great place to take someone who doesn't like Indian food. The spice is on the weak side, and you can get dishes like the Major Grey "curry," which is more like dessert for dinner. (Perhaps several doses of Sriracha would have made this a winner?) In addition to Major Grey, we got an order of chicken tikka masala, which was acceptable, although colored like what Disney World would make if there was an Indian showcase at Epcot Center. In fact, the whole place kind of had that feel. It was very much Indian food for people that don't know much (or perhaps don't appreciate?) Indian cuisine. On the plus side, there were a lot of options. There were a variety of curry choices and meats/veggies to put in said curries, which was a nice touch. The samosas we had for appetizers were actually quite good, and the naan was large. This would be a good option for taking a friend who wants to "try" Indian food with no intention of making it a regular thing, but if you enjoy Indian cuisine and have been exposed to the good stuff, you will leave here disappointed. And, your dentist warns you to stay away from the Major Grey!
(2)Tricia M.
I love that you can get all the curries with a choice of prawns, veggies, chicken, beef, chickpeas or potatoes! Makes for a huge variety. Their prices can be a bit steep, but I love their Velvet Butter potatoes. Scrumptious.
(4)Brenda K.
I was recommended this place, and it was good and plan to go back and try other dishes. Service was friendly, helped us understand some of the menu items as a somewhat novice to Indian food. I do love Saag w/Panner, but we didn't want a full order and they were nice enough to half it. The recommended the Garil Naan, which was tasty. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala - very good. And an eggplant dish that I can't remember the name that also was very tasty. A little screw up with the beer order, but other than that - good food and service.
(4)Christie J.
I have tried this place a handful of times and have yet to be disappointed. The lunch buffet is affordable and a great way to try the different dishes they serve. Dinner can be a little pricy, but it's worth it for great food! The dining is clean and professional and the owners are nice. What makes Shamiana so unique? There are so many Indian restaurants that are either considered great by Americans and scoffed at by people of Indian culture for being to "clean" and "amerianized" OR people of Indian culture rave the place and Americans complain of the "dirty" and "smelly" place. Shamiana is neither of these. I work nearby and I see people of all cultures coming and enjoying the food. I would highly recommend eating here if you're in the Houghton area.
(5)Chris O.
I'm not an Indian connoisseur but I like it. Tasty food, never too busy at lunch, and quick because it's buffet. Nice inside. About $10 I think for lunch buffet.
(4)Scott J.
This is my favorite Indian restaurant anywhere! Love the Kabuli chicken, Shamiana chicken & garlic naan bread with yogurt sauce. Probably what I order the most. In fact, just writing this review, I think I'm gonna have to go tonight or over the weekend. Oh yeah!
(5)Ravenna S.
Not your typical Indian restaurant - which they tell you up front. But it really delivers for an Indian and beyond dining experience. I've eaten here many times, and have not had a bad meal. Most of my friends are vegetarian, so when they're visiting from out of town this is usually our first stop. The naan is fresh and delicious, and the chutneys! oh my, the chutneys. so fresh and flavorful. I've never been for the buffet - only for dinner. I would definitely give them a try.
(5)KT M.
I have been eating here for years. The owners care about this business. If they aren't in the kitchen cooking the food, they are out greeting customers. They have a different take on a few items, but they are all tasty. Great selection of items (meat, vegetarian, naans, etc.) The pulao and garlic naan are AMAZING! I crave both regularly. The ingredients and meats are fresh and delicious. Tikka Masala, Major Grey, Velvet Butter, Masala, etc. are tasty. The lunch buffet always has a variety of choices, a dessert or two, and naan is served at each table. They also offer group cooking classes. Which is awesome, especially if you have no idea how to make Indian food, it's a great way to learn and expand your cooking knowledge.

Shamiana has created an entirely new cuisine based off of Indian, but tropical and sweet. It's similar to how Galerias in Capitol Hill, Seattle, reinvented Mexican food: A Disney-esque rendition of an actual cuisine, punctuated with equatorial fruit flavors. I came here for the lunch buffet. The highlight was the Major Grey's Chicken. I have never heard of this, and if you search for it on Google you get 2 recipe links to off-beat sites and then a link to Shamiana. It seems to be named after Major Grey's Chutney, a Smucker's jam product. It's primary flavor is mango, and it's sweet. Second was the Chicken Korma. Normally, at least in the west, Chicken Korma is cubed chicken cooked in ghee, then simmered in yogurt with a wonderfully vibrant mix of coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, garam masala, and pureed nuts. At Shamiana, it's similar, but it was pulled chicken, and while the coriander and nuts were there, I didn't notice the other spices. It was also thick enough that it could almost be a chicken salad. Other items were: - Dal. This was very good. Probably the most authentic and delicious item. - Rice pulao. Also very good... yum!!! - Naan. They put some black sesame seeds on top -- I liked it. - Saag Potato. Normally called Saag Aloo, it was heavy on the potatoes... but generally good. - Beef somethingerother. Not really sure why they have beef. - Macaroni salad. I didn't try this, but I think it's funny. Probably so that little kids have something to eat! - Mango yogurt mousse: Nice way to end the meal. But while the cuisine was "inventive", the service was excellent! The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I was able to pay very quickly and my plates were cleared promptly. I just wish I liked the food more... it was good, just strange.
(3)Shep G.
I guess Grant didn't like it.... :) BUT I do! It may or may not be authentic, I really don't care. The food is good, the service I had there tonight was great, and I really like the decor too! So, rather than writing a book about this place, just read the other reviews and check it out for yourself. With two vegetarian daughters I will continue to visit and enjoy Shamiana....

Worst indian food i ate on east side. Been here 2 times separated by 1 year . So these guys genuinely bad . Chiken masala has big cubes of bland chiken and tomato paste . They dont have any cluse about indian spices . Bread was ok. Samosas also made from pasty style wraps.
(1)Preston K.
Naan was nothing I've ever had before. It had the texture of pizza dough; thick and doughy... just needed some marinara sauce! I actually asked the waitress if it was the Naan we ordered or some kind of on-the-house appetizer. My wife had the Butter Chicken which she described as being "sweet" (and not as "sweet" as in good) and I had the Major Grey that had a congealed consistency. The rice had some burnt tidbits sprinkled on the top...still not sure what it was. It did however have a nice atmosphere - big booths, nice lighting and good music. The staff was also nice, but I did hear the waitress ask for part of my order she forgot in Spanish to the cook. At the end of it all we had some marginal food (I'm being generous) and got to pay $42 for two meals, one diet coke and a water. Wish I would have read Grant M.'s review before we decided to go.
(1)Charlie L.
Fantastic Indian - the Major Grey's Chicken is to die for. The rest of the stuff are all pretty good, but pales in comparison to the MG's Chicken. I'd go just for that one dish!
(4)David W.
I tend to enjoy the daily lunch buffet, and Fridays are often the best. If you like heat, I recommend getting freshly chopped green peppers since the food is otherwise too tame for any real Indian/Pakistani dishes. The Major Grey sauce on the vegetable curry is great and so is the Ginger lamb. The mango lassi is lacking.
(4)F. C.
This is a little gold mine tucked away in the corner behind PCC in the Houghton area of Kirkland. I SO love every single thing on the menu and have never been disappointed. I've only eaten the lunch buffet once and haven't gone back only because I eat **way too much**. The food is absolutely wonderful, full of flavor and you can choose how many stars you want (for levels of spicyness). I choose zero stars and my husband goes for 4 or 5. Serivce is great, the place is clean...can't ask for much more!
(4)D C.
Is it authentic - can't say I care, though I've heard it isn't. So don't go thinking of what specifically you want your dish to taste like, and you'll enjoy what you get. Personally, I am addicted to their Major Grey Curry. Hubby always gets the baked halibut. Con's are that it's a bit pricey, so I can't go as often as I like.
(4)Brian M.
I've been to many Indian food restraints and must admit for being on the east side this one stands out. The price is a little speedy, but wellll worth it. The variety of flavors is amazing! Had the eggplant appetizer, garlic naan, and three entree dishes with rice between two all was amazing and felt very satisfied afterward. I need to go back to Shamiana ASAP!
(5)Raj M.
On my 2 night business trip to Seattle I unfortunately picked this restaurant to go for dinner with my colleague. Food - not even close to authentic Indian or Pakistani food. Flavor - Bland (by Indian or Pakistani standards) Atmosphere - Good ambience to attract crowd who have no idea what authentic Indian or Pakistani food actually tastes like. Service - Half cooked lamb tikka and on complaining I get a "sorry about that" with no desire to offer any other option or rectify the problem. Never going back to this place in my next trip.
(1)Erin H.
I honestly love this restaurant! I love their tiki masala and the yellow rice, I wouldn't call it traditional indian food but I like that it's a little different.
(5)Sarah L.
Love, sweet love. This place is as good as it gets. Others might debate that it is not authentic, but in my humble opinion, Shamiana is true Pakistani/Indian food and Beyond. Perhaps it is their tag line...the "Beyond" part, that people are misreading. Chef and Owner Eric Larson, born in America and raised for 20 years in different parts of the Middle East including India and Pakistan, as as well Nepal, Bhutan, Kenya, and Burma, drew upon his experiences in each of these regions to bring Shamiana to the American palate. So in other words, this place is too legit to quit. I myself have been coming to Shamiana for 15 years and have yet to be disappointed. Prices have raised steadily with the economy, but the food, service and ambiance is well worth the pricetag. FOOD: Order this and ask no questions - Major Gray Chicken, Ginger Masala Lamb, Eggplant Bartha, Pulao rice, Garlic Naan with Raita sauce, a teapot of Cardamom Tea, and their Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream Pie. End of Story. Now this is true Nirvana. Everything here is served family style. So order a few to go around the the table. Their signature dish: Major Gray's Chicken. By far and away, the most memorable and flavorful not to mention popular dish on their menu. Even my 86 year old grandmother who is a self-proclaimed Indian food hater (she is Italian afterall...) likes this dish. Anything Lamb will not disappoint. They typically have their Masala Ginger Lamb, and then a special Lamb dish preparation for the evening. Their curry menu is composed of you getting to choose the preparation/sauce and choice protein. They offer all the traditional curry sauces including tiki malasa, saag, velvet butter, masala, and their own Shamiana sauce. They offer an assortment of protein as well (chicken, prawns, paneer, chickpeas) or mixed vegetable. Very accommodating for vegetarians. Their naan is dyno-mite! I have never experienced better naan anywhere else. They have a traditional 700 degree Tandoori oven which Eric will take you back into the kitchen to see. Its unbelievable. Get two. One garlic and one butter. I could bathe in their raita sauce. Cooling and refreshing. Just the way raita should be. Don't forget their Cardamom tea! PERFECTION IN A GLASS. Or should I say, in a cute little Elephant or Camel teapot brought to your table :) SERVICE: Like Family. They treat you like an old friend coming to visit. One server, I forget her name, has been our waitress at almost every visit and treats us so warmly. You never get the feeling that they are treating you extra special just for an extra tip. They are happy to see you enjoying their food. AMBIANCE: Not over the top like chain Indian restaurants. Simple decor, comfortable seating. A place you could lounge at all evening. Time sneaks up on you and before you know it, they are closing for the evening! A place you can take your shoes off and feel at home, or better yet, put your shoes on the wall with the others! (If you go you'll see what I mean...haha). The music is soft so you can hold a conversation with your dinner party and not have to shout. Eric Larson does his own music, which is sometimes played. Shamiana also offers "cooking classes" which are more like cooking demonstrations, which are still fun, but no hands on participation by the class. PLENTY of food to be had, a great deal for $45, and you get a copy of the recipes to take home. So hurry down to Shamiana. Its well worth the visit to Kirkland.

I had gone to this place for dinner before and it was wonderful, so I was super excited to try their lunch buffet... what a disappointment! they didn't have as much selection as other indian restaurants in the area, and the food was just "mehhh"... nothing like the dinner I experienced before. Service is good, nothing to rave or complaint about.
(3)Rainsford W.
Good food, clean and friendly. Best Indian food I had so far in Kirkland.
(4)Nancy D.
"India and Beyond" -That pretty much sums it up with beyond being the key. Really? I can't belive the star rating on this place. It's truly horrible! There's not hint of Indian influence here. The buffet tasted more like Mexican food. I've definitely had my fare share of Indian food and this didn't cut it. It's relatively cheap so if that alone makes you happy your'e all set. "Que Rico!" Go else where for more authenticity.
(1)A J.
Food was good, but just too expensive for what you get. I ordered the Major Grey curry with chicken and it was $15 but didn't come with rice which was $3 extra. There are so many great Indian restaurants on the eastside, I won't be coming back to this one.
(2)Tracy D.
I've had the lunch buffet twice and dinner once - lunch is ok, dinner kind of sucked. You can order the "vegetarian buffet" for 2 bucks less than the buffet including meat dishes, so 9 bucks total I think. Basically I'll only go here for lunch if I'm sick of Teriyaki Madness or can't find anything at the PCC. The vegetarian buffet includes lettuce and pasta salads, Mulligatawney soup, rice, a plate of naan, dal, a couple different vegetarian dishes, and desert. It's not bad, but nothing special either. Last time I went the vegetarian entrees were empty the first 20 minutes I was there, but fortunately I have a long lunch. The decor is nice inside, but the music was annoying. Dinner was 2+ dollars more a plate than Raga, another Indian place in Kirkland, and the food wasn't as good. My boyfriend got Tandoori chicken, which came with almost as many onions as chicken. And yowch, it was $17! I can't even remember what I got (probably butter masala paneer), but I didn't bother taking my leftovers home. For Indian in Kirkland, go to Raga instead.
(3)Jeff W.
Haven't had Indian food in a long time but this places is really good. The place is decorated pretty cool too. We had a lot of food, and I was stuffed afterwards. We started off with some Papadums and the sauce it came with went well with them. We got Chutney and they were all flavorful. Went very well with the Papadums. For our entrees we had Traditional Naan, which was cooked just perfect. We also had Tikka Masala and Beef Vindaloo. Both dishes were excellent and had so much flavor. The Naan worked great to soak up the sauces. The service was excellent. The waitress was very nice and attentive. My water was always full. It is expensive though, that is why it doesn't get 5 stars. Oh and they deliver via another company (Meals on Wheels, I think).
(4)Lucas F.
This isn't your typical Indian place. Dishes are a bit more posh, service is more stylish, and it's not full of Indians. That typically means the food isn't that good or authentic...but Shamiana is an exception. It's more of a fusion type restaurant, and the prices are higher than your typical Indian fare. That said, I still come back, and almost always order the Major Grey's chicken. The lunch buffet is a nice way to go as well!
(3)Harika N.
The food here is very Americanized. No authentic indian food. Very disappointed. I honestly don't understand the positive ratings but they are very misleading.
(1)Ryan S.
Hey, what can I say? It's hard to find Indian food around this area, at least good Indian food. I think we've finally found it. Not trying to be extremely authentic (I noticed the owners weren't from there), but still being authentic. Beautiful artwork lines the walls, and trust me, I'm not all that into art. Low lights, and a feel-good setting makes this a must-do even before you take a bite of the [insert clever word for good] food. An expansive menu. You want this? Which meat in it? Veggies? Any sauces? It does take a while to decipher just which combination you want. I settled on the Major Grey curry (breath) with no veggies and instead of having prawns, pork or some other mystery meat, I got chicken. Figured I'd play it safe. Safe was not quite the word of the dish I got. Spicy, sweet, tart, so many flavors filled my mouth. But no, it was not bad. Extremely good actually. And also finished extremely fast for my taste buds could not say goodbye to this wondrous plate. And when it was finished, i scraped out the last bits of sauce just to make sure the breakup wasn't treating my old tongue too bad.
(5)Michael N.
Delicious lunch buffet with a number of special dishes not found at standard Indian restaurants. I've GOT to find a way to get the recipe for the coconut-potato soup. However, Indian food purists might object to the "fusion" approach, which combines several different regional cuisines of India. Pleasant surroundings, attentive staff, reasonable prices.
(5)Nana B.
Awesome Indian Food! I Love this restaurant! I have been coming to Shamiana for years and I always have a great experience.
(5)Nicole K.
The food here is still amazing. I wanted to update to point out that they are really good at working with people that are gluten-free. The staff was helpful and respectful. Cheers!
(5)Lana B.
First off, I'd like to preface my review with the caveat that I've never eaten Indian food before. Also, I don't do spicy. That said, my Pakistani friend keeps refusing to cook for me on the basis of being sick of Indian food, so I decided to look elsewhere, and what I found was Shamiana. The restaurant itself is nice, there are two sections, the tables and chairs are comfortable and nicely set. The food is a bit pricey, but the Tandoori Chicken we got was really flavorful, and the rice that came with it was great. Subtle and well spiced like I remember Persian style rice being. I got the Tikka Masala, which yes, is hot pink, but it was REALLY good. Now, remember, I don't do spicy food, but that hot pink sauce was just so tasty. After a while the spice sort of layered up to where I could feel my mouth burning a little, but not enough to bother me. Service was good. My soda glass made it empty only at the end of the meal, and there was plenty of water poured, which was good since it was in the 90s that day. Overall, I'd totally come back here if I wanted something flavorful and complex that wasn't going to sear my tastebuds off. Only down side is the price, so I might have to try it for lunch.
(4)HK J.
Great naan, awesome saag aloo- maybe not the most autentic Indian cuisine I've had, but worth the second visit for sure.
(3)Allie S.
Service was prompt and friendly, the space is small and quaint. The food was the big downfall for me, granted I should have tried the grey curry as everyone on here suggested, instead I went with my fail safe, Paneer Tikka Masala. Yeah, that was a mistake. The masala sauce was brilliantly red, and gritty (probably from all the spices and dye they had to add to make it that red!), but it didn't have a good flavor. Not to mention it made me ill for the rest of the evening and next day. Over all, not even close to the best Indian food I have ever had.
(2)M D.
Shamiana of Kirkland has been my favorite local restaurant for many years. The food tends toward Pakistani BBQ, and the owners being Americans who were raised there as children, have a really good sense of what Americans would like. Food is always fabulous. My fav's: Ginger coriander chicken, house salad, naan and raita, and coconut icecream pie to die for. My husband loves lamb and beef kabobs. Check out spiced lemonade...yum. You can order almost anything to pick up and go, especially nice on cold, icky winter evenings in Puget Sound area when you don't want to venture out much. The daily lunch buffet is a great treat, although the salad offering is often limp after sitting too long in vinegar based dressing. Major Grey's chicken, once only offered on Fridays and which contributed to long wait lines out the door, is now offered everyday. This is also a nice lunch spot to eat solo. I recently attended a cooking class. It was way fun and informative and they feed you well.
(5)Brent A.
The lunch buffet is terrific and typically includes a lamb curry or masala, a chicken curry, plenty of vegetarian dishes, naan, etc. You can't go wrong. At dinner, there are several chicken and lamb curry dishes available, as well as meats cooked in the tandoor oven, but my wife and I always make sure to order our favorite: coriander ginger chicken. It is out of this world. Shamiana also offers cooking classes periodically, which are a lot of fun. We made sure to attend the night they were showing how to make the coriander-ginger chicken. Now, we can make a pretty respectable version at home, but it's still fun to go to Shamiana and have someone else do the work. The garlic naan is an excellent way to start your meal. For a brief time, Shamiana openned another location in Ravenna, very close to where I live. The quality was the same as the Kirkland location, but sadly, it closed after a year or so, probably due to the already large number of other Indian restaurants in the vicinity.
(5)John P.
Just had lunch here, again. Ten bucks for the buffet and a glass of ice tea. The buffet is not your typical Indian buffet. As many times as I've stopped here for lunch I've not encountered meatballs, frittered veggies, or cucumber/tomato/yogur-mayo salad. What I have eaten (in excess) are the many coconut/curry dishes be they beef, lamb, chicken, or veggie. It's not that they don't serve these dishes, they are on the menu, I'm only pointing out that this is not the predictable buffet. (Next time I go in they will probably have each of them.) I've also ordered off the menu, their eggplant hasmet that is simply outstanding. The wait staff is kind, calm, and caring. There's no rush and there's always a smile.
(5)Karen d.
Dined, Friday evening Aug 26th. I concur with Harika-- this is very Amercanized food and not at all ethnically represented. The clue should have been that there were no Indians nor Pakistanis dining on the day I ate dinner. I wish I had read these reviews before stumbling upon it while in the area on business. I've lived and worked in SE Asia and know a good, authentic Asian meal. This was very disappointing. I ordered a "Marsala lamb" dish which was purported to be "tender" only to have to drive my knife thru the meat! Ugh. When I mentioned this to my server, she said; 'well, it has been sitting in the pot like a stew all day". Eggads!!! Well, then their description sure isn't accurate! She offered to give me a substitute (appreciated) but that curry dish was soo sweet, I thought it was dessert! I did like the unique eggplant appetizer dish, but luckily I like my dishes hot and spicy (though she didn't ask how hot, so beware!) The "garlic naan" looked and tasted like they had brushed on crushed garlic with butter as an afterthought. I won't be back.
(1)James T.
The lunch buffet is excellent, though a little sparse for vegetarians. We also love their cardamon tea, which I recommend a pot of. Staff is nice, decor beautiful, parking easy.
(5)Grant M.
I realize that Indian food is not the same everywhere and you cannot expect Indian food in Seattle to be as good as in Delhi (or London) so this review will be based on the context of Indian food in Seattle and not a comparison to Indian food elsewhere. First note, there are NO Indian people eating in the restaurant. Second note, there are NO Indian people working in the restaurant and that includes serving, busing or cooking. There aren't any Indian people to be found anywhere! First bad sign. The first thing you notice when browsing the menu of Shamiana is more expensive than other Indian restaurants and NOTHING is included. Expect to pay about $22 for Chicken Tikka Masala and some rice and a plain naan. Papadums served with a chutney is not included for free. At Shamiana they're ($2.50) so we skipped it. Plain Naan ($3.50) We ordered two plain naan. Naan is normally a round flat bread cooked on a tandoori. The naan at Shamiana appears to be cooked on a half sheet pan in the oven and isn't the light soft bread with a slight grilled flavor but rather a heavy doughy pita style bread that's cooked nearly hard on the bottom and gooey on top. Imagine a big square pita/tortilla thing that's way too think and doughy, and doesn't have the right flavor and costs about double normal price. The cook is probably baffled as to why his naan doesn't come out like in other restaurants, I would be too. Chicken Tikka Masala ($14.65) Shamiana's Chicken Tikka Masala was quite a surprise as it didn't resemble anything we'd seen before. The color was so shockingly pinkish orange that I had to stop a waiter and ask why. She said it was because they put food coloring in it and that's the way it's done in India. I've eaten Chicken Tikka Masala at Indian restaurants all over the world as it's one of my favorites but I've never seen anything like this before! This is not an over exaggeration. My kids changed to calling it the "paint stuff" immediately and never called it Tikka Masala again all night. I can usually pick out the cumin, cardamom, cloves etc in a sauce by tasting but this had none of these flavors. There was ONE flavor to it and I couldn't place it at all and it had was barely discernable. There were specs of cilantro in it to offset the orange/pink paint scheme though. I don't know where they got this recipe but this does not resemble any Chicken Tikka Masala I've ever had nor is it worth eating. Shamiana curry: ($14.65 with chicken) This dish came the closest to actually tasting like an Indian dish but still wasn't that good. It had just a touch of heat to it and the right consistency if a little dry. I did taste coriander and some lemon zestiness. At any other Indian restaurant I'd rate this dish about 2 out of 5 stars because even though it was probably the most "authentic" it wasn't that enjoyable and we didn't finish it. Just to be fair it wasn't horrible, it just wasn't worth saving. Major Grey's chutney ($14.65) We chose this because of the excellent reviews here on Yelp. I have to admit that this was the best thing we had at Shamiana. I don't however, think it's "to die for" as some have said. I'd rate it about 3 out of 5 "to die for" stars. It was the only dish that we cleaned up and enjoyed. Usually each of use have our favorites and their all different. At Shamiana all of use preferred the Major Grey's chicken over all others. Put in another Indian restaurant though Major Grey's chicken would not only stop shining but disappear. Review conclusion: I was a bit taken back by how poor this restaurant is in comparison to it's yelp rating. I learned the sense of taste was a very subjective thing otherwise places like Denny's wouldn't exist. However, just about everyone agrees on service. If a restaurant has great service and environment it'll be successful if the right customers show up. No matter how bad the food is someone will like it! Case in point is Taj in South Everett which admittedly isn't that great. The service isn't good nor is it clean but the food really isn't bad. Shamiana is quiet the opposite, the food is really pretty bad but the environment and service good so it gets decent ratings. My advice - if you have some guests and they've never had Indian food than take them here. They won't be offended by Indian music playing or servers with dots on their foreheads or that "nasty curry spice" that they got sick on once so they'll be happy. If however, you know the difference between coriander and cream you should probably go somewhere else. I'd suggest the Clay Pit in Mill Creek. The service there is every bit as good as Shamiana's and the food is so fantastically better that in your mind you won't even compare them. Shamiana is a pretender. For what it does do it's ok. It has great service, decent environment and the food won't kill you. I wouldn't in a million years classify it as an Indian restaurant though.

Food was wonderful. A very interesting melding of styles and flavors. Atmosphere was very nice too....they make it a comfortable place to eat/chat. Service was slightly slow when I went, but it could have been an off day.

Food is stunning, service is good onsite but pick up service is really random. And its a mixture of indian/pakistani/western flavors. It works and tastes great. I would recommend that you dont arrive with to many pre-concieved ideas about what your getting so you can be happily suprised. Also the price is a little more than other Indian places I would say its worth it for onsite but not for pick up.

9.5 out of 10 for me. Parking was easy since it's a strip mall (nice PCC market next door). Decor was tasteful, not overdone, definitely very nice for a strip mall. Waiter (Kevin) was awesome; friendly but not cloying, available but not hovering, prompt but not rushing. Naan was piping fresh and soft, and they serve it "whole" (very long oval shape, not cut up into "pita" shape you usually see). Tikka Masala was very good, although maybe not the absolute best I've had (I like mine mine a bit more tomato-y). I was very pleasantly surprised by our "gamble" on Major Grey w/ prawns (not one of our Indian "regular" dishes). This Chutney-based sauce was amazing -- sweet, spicy, creamy. A must-order if you like sweet sauces. With beer, 2 naans, 2 entrees and tip we paid total about $65 -- very much worth it.

Good food - very "home cooking" style, not like your typical Indian place (which tends to be too oily / heavy). Very interesting folks that have started this place. Be sure to read their story. Lunch buffet is good value for money; have not eaten there for dinner. One less star than 5 because we once had a pretty bad service experience, but it was the exception rather than the norm.
(4)Jeffrey S.
Great Indian food. Fantastic lunch buffet.
(5)sean o.
excellent food, but the prices always seem a bit high for the setting and service.
(4)Joy C.
Oh, if you are even thinking about going to this restaurant, just get off your computer and go. Now. It is as good as we say it is.

I'm on the road (locally) a lot for my job, so I'm always looking for a comfortable place to stop for lunch & spend some time working. Shamiana is a great spot for both. They have roomy booths, a great indian buffet that starts at 11 a.m. (you can do soup & salad, vegetarian or the whole thing for different prices). They bring warm naan to your table, keep the water glass filled & I don't feel bad if I hang out for an hour or so. If it gets too busy, I'm courteous & scoot out - but they have a lot of tables & I'm able to get wireless from somewhere nearby. Only downside is that I eat too much & spend over $10 for lunch - neither of which I like to do too often - but every couple of weeks is fine by me!
(4)Laural B.
Pakistani, Indian and English flavors combine to make a wonderful meal. I've never had anything I didn't love here. So try everything!

ok, so if you like spicy then go for 5/5 cos their spicy is not quite there, by the Indian cuisine standards. and they have a love for the yogurt n coconut milk in their gravy so that cuts out the spice. But that works for you if you like Indian food sans the extra spice. Nice decor, a bit understaffed ...poor waiter had too much to take care of. Costs a few dollars more than other restaurants but clean and interesting menu. too many eggplant dishes though :(, I liked the one they have in their starters and the eggplant hashmet in their main course...that's quite enough for one person..chickpeas dish was nice again not too spicy ( well i like my food real hot! , not necessarily wud u ) The desserts area needs a world of improvement , avoid the kheer avoid the bruni and avoid the coconut pie...basically avoid. My verdict go there for the nice quiet ambience and a little different Indian-Pakistani cuisine but it can't be the one-stop-for-everytime-Indian...not quite there ... not bad .. just good enff .. worth trying !!
(3)Samia K.
Great atmosphere for family dinner - great servers, delicious food and environment! We love it here and highly recommend.
(4)David C.
Started with Garlic Naan, of course - good not great. Had a cup of the Coconut Potato soup that was really good but extremely hot and first taste scalded my tongue, I hate when that happens. I recommend dipping the naan in the soup for a tastier treat combo. For the entree I ordered the kebabs and my girlfriend had the chicken coriander. Mine was tender beef but ground not actual steak cuts I had expected. The chicken was a bit overcooked and hard but had good flavors. In all, everything was good including service. We'll definitely come back though probably never become regulars.
(3)Joe L.
I came here for the lunch buffet earlier this week. The food quality was decent and the tastes were good, especially the major grey chicken. There was a little bit of everything, a beef dish, a vegetarian curry dish, and several more chicken dishes. The lunch came with naan delivered to the table which were crispy but not very fluffy. The mango dessert was tasty as well. The options here are good enough to fill you up and satisfy your lunch craving but nothing really stood out about the meal. Overall, I'd come back for a lunch if I was craving indian and was in the area, but not really a place I'd go out of my way to return to.
(3)A M.
Worst Pakistani food we've eaten in 20 years in the US. Long wait even when restaurant was empty. Portions are tiny and the curries are actually two spoons worth quantity with improperly cooked chicken that is hard as rubber. We ended up going for dinner at another restaurant after eating tiny portions served at this restaurant. Servers don't even take orders properly
(1)Charles G.
Tom is awesome, and Shamiana has the best Mulligatawny Soup ON THE WEST COAST! I lived in Seattle, L.A. And was born and raised in Portland. I currently live in SF and all you Kirkland folks should be thrilled you have this gem. Please send me food.
(5)Kayla S.
Shamiana made Indian food my favorite. It's not the most authentic (owner is American raised in India) so he put an American twist on a lot of the dishes, but I can't complain because it's soooo good. Try the meat samosas... I can never get enough. I usually order the Keema Kabobs for my entrée, but the Major Greys is really yummy as well. And please please please try the chili mint lemonade!!!
(5)Trudie M.
in the past, this has been one of our favorite restaurants . What's happening? Recent take out was disappointing. The chicken didn't have the flavor of the sauce, but seemed to have been added at the last minute. The shrimp, in another dish, were without flavor. Seemed to have use a lessor grade of shrimp than they used to. I will say that their naan was still very good, and their lassis' were too. Requesting that the management go back to their excellent ingredients and flavors in order to keep customers.
(3)Megan W.
Been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed! The Major grey is always a must, the kabobs are great (get medium, otherwise they're dry), the garlic naan is so tasty and all the curries are great. The wait staff is helpful and quick and the ambiance is casual and friendly. Can't go wrong here!
(5)Leo C.
I've been indulging in Shamiana amazing goodness for years now. This is, in my opinion, the cats meow of Indian food buffets in the greater Seattle area. I've been to most of them, and nothing holds a candle to the quality of the food and the value. Shamiana was opened by two siblings who were born/raised in India (or so I understand!) and they have won awards for their cuisine. Now if you are considering this place for a sitdown lunch or dinner, be prepared for a bit of sticker shock. It is quite a bit more than what you would expect to pay at other Indian places, but I promise it is worth it.... the lunch buffet makes up for this, as that is a bargain!! One tip to the wise... when sitting down for lunch, be prepared to ask for more naan quite a bit. They dont' just hand it out oyster crackers (keeping costs down I'm sure)...but they are more than happy to keep it coming, when you ask for it! To-go order service has always been very good from this location as well! I want Major Grey Chicken RIGHT NOW! :P
(5)Bernadett A.
This was my first time trying this restaurant by ordering take out. I ordered saag paneer and samosas. I was disappointed as the samosas were small, greasy, and flavorless and the saag paneer lacked the complexity of spices and flavor that one comes to expect from indian food. I am sad that I had to give only two stars to this place as it is the only indian restaurant in my immediate neighborhood and I really wanted to like it.
(2)Rich T.
I loved this place when it opened years ago. However the food wasn't anything close this time around. It's sad because it was so great before. The website says that Tracy and Eric are still the owners but a previous review says it was sold a few years ago. I'll believe the later as it make some sense. We had the samosas. These weren't large not were they flaky. In fact there were somewhat greasy. I wonder if they were the frozen kind given the texture. The eggplant appetizer was nice but didn't have that wonderful complex spice I was remembering. Certainly not like the Bengal tiger. The naan was quite good and hot but the main course we had was matar paneer and it was like nothing I've ever had before. The paneer was very large and flavorless. The matar was just well bland. It looked like a tomato sauce without the complex Indian spices. We really wanted to love this place as it introduced us to East Indian cooking but I'm sad to say it either was an off day for my palette or just not a good day for the chef.

Ambience- good, Food Quantity-not so good, Taste- poor Not going back again :(
(2)Michael G.
Some items like the appetizers or extra chutneys are a little bit pricy, but the food is quite good, and I find this to be a very nice restaurant. I perceive that they use much better quality ingredients compared to other Indian or Pakistani restaurants in the area, and I appreciate that. Their creations land quite well with adventurous westerner style taste buds. The service has also been excellent the last 2-3 visits, and the iced tea is amazing! It is kind of cool that the restaurant is ran by local people that lived part of their life in the sub continent and had a passion for the food. I think that is the story if I remembered it correctly, and if so, that is a great story!
(4)Glenn P.
LUNCH BUFFET $9.95 - Chai not included. This isn't your typical Indian Buffet - no Butter/Masala Chicken. Everyone swears by their "Major Grey" chicken - it's just chicken in sweetened yellow curry... meh. The buffet offerings had good flavor - a couple chicken, a couple vegan, one beef. They had a couple soups and a dessert which was tasty. The Naan tasted pre-packaged and wasn't very yummy. I don't know why everyone is so afraid to put lunch buffet prices in their yelp reviews!? Minus 1 Star for no free chai - Minus 1 Star for a lack of anything on their buffet to make me go back.
(3)r b.
The residual flavors left in my mouth after the buffet here are hard to describe in any proper epicurean terms. So let's pretend Shamiana was wine; I taste soapy film...I taste air freshener...I taste burnt leather...I taste cotton candy (after you just brushed your teeth). Quite possibility the worst "Indian Style" meal I've ever had the misfortune of ingesting. Overpriced to boot.
(1)Bill W.
I've only had Indian food a few times, so I'm not the best judge of authenticity. But we enjoyed our recent meal here. We were seated quickly (on a not busy Monday night), the décor is tasteful, the food was tasty and service was very friendly and fairly attentive. I had the Tikka Masala Chicken curry, ordered with one-star of spice on the recommendation of the waiter. In hindsight, two stars would be more my speed, but it was a flavorful dish. She ordered the Keema Kabob beef kabobs, which came out as a generous portion of spicy beef chunks on a bed of Pulao (rice). Son had the Major Grey Chicken curry, but wasn't clear that he wanted a little spice, so it came out a little bland, though otherwise creamy and tasty. He and I ordered a side of Pulao and Garlic Naan to share. Everything was nicely prepared and we ate too much. We probably should have planned better and ordered some vegetables. If we ever have the unlikely craving for Indian (or Pakistani) food, we may return.
(4)Sarah L.
This placed has improved a ton over the passed year or so. For many years we avoided it despite our love of Indian food however we recently came in and were super suppressed by the tremendous food. It's like we are back in London.
(4)W C.
You are in for a real treat when you eat at Shamiana. I absolutely love it and have taken 4 cooking classes that they offer throughout the year. But, don't take my word for it - go get yourself some Major Grey Chicken and savor the flavor. Are you a vegetarian - no problem - their selections are amazing. I love their Eggplant Bartha. The atmosphere is quiet, and you can hear your own conversation. Best service ever. Oh, and save room for dessert. Sometimes we go just to get their coconut ice cream cake. Oh my gosh, it's amazing.
(5)Jonathan L.
This is a funny place. It's not authentic Indian, so if you're looking for that head elsewhere. Came here for the lunch buffet, which was a nice spread in the center of the restaurant. I was really surprised when I saw a beef dish; first time at an Indian place. The flavors were...interesting. The majority of the dishes seemed like a fusion of some sort. The green chicken curry seemed Thai-inspired, the Major Grey was like a sweet butter chicken. The beef tasted like a spicy stew, and I feel like I could've found the potato coconut soup (which I really liked) at an American cafe or sandwich shop. The naan was covered in nigella seeds, also a first. Unfortunately it was cold by the time it arrived at the table. I think it's a great stab at fusion, but the curries were runny and lacked the complex blend of flavors that I'm used to. Nothing stood out as something I would come back for. The service was alright, but it's awkward when your customers have to tell you someone is waiting to be seated while you discuss your trip to Latin America and how often you go to the gym.
(3)Lynette W.
We love Indian food and live close by. I have meant to come here for a quite a while, especially because I wanted to see about taking cooking classes. The naan was fine. I got the Major Grey and Andrew got the chicken masala. I believe he wanted the tindoroo but they only had beef. I liked my sauce quite a bit and the sauce kept growing on me. Rice was OK. Chicken in both was way over cooked. We ended up having the sauces as leftovers and trashed the chicken.
(2)Andrea W.
A few years ago the ownership of Shamiana changed hands, and while the menu is the same, the quality is not as good as it was before. I'm not sure if it was the ownership changing or if a new chef is in the kitchen, but my curries have been more bland and more liquid-y and the naan doughy and burnt on the bottom, leading me to believe they're being rushed out of the kitchen without proper preparation. The chicken is also fattier with a more cartilage and the pieces are much smaller. Hopefully the kitchen staff figures it out and the food returns to the quality I fell in love with years ago. Until then, I'll keep going back for the tikka masala.
(4)Kinda Invisible S.
Yep, this is the type of place you crave. I'm all about the lunch-time buffet and look forward to seeing what's included. You can go all-vegetarian or go back as many times as you'd like for meat dishes and beyond. The items are clearly marked so if you have dietary concerns, you don't have to ask a million questions. From start (naan) to finish (mango mousse) every dish is a must-try. So good!!!
(5)Timothy K.
I've visited Shamiana enough times over the last fifteen years or so that I've gotten to know the owners reasonably well. The restaurant's founders grew up on the Indian subcontinent and adapted the flavors to an American palette, so while it may not be the most authentic Indian food (intentionally so), it's very approachable for first-timers and is certainly delicious. They have a tandoori oven, as every decent Indian restaurant should, in which they cook their Tandoori Chicken and naan (regardless of the opinions of other reviewers). You'll see beef on the menu and the food is not Halal, but neither of these matter to me. When I eat at dinner, portions are served family-style and are meant to be shared. Now, on to the actual menu! The naan here are larger than what I've seen at other restaurants (probably almost 2x the size - they're usually about 16" x 5"). The dough is stretched out and stuck to the inside of the tandoori oven, where it cooks in about a minute. This causes one side to be crispy, while the other is more doughy. I've actually had the chance to watch the kitchen make the naan - very cool! If you want both sides crisp (I don't! Love the doughiness personally!), just tell your server and they'll leave it in a bit longer. You can then have it served with garlic butter and chopped coriander or with a bit of normal butter and Nigella seeds (traditional). I tend to go off menu a bit and ask for the garlic butter with the seeds. My favorite dish here is Keema Kabobs, available as both appetizer and entree - rolled beef sausages seasoned with red onions and chili flakes, served with a side of sweet sour-cream and yogurt based sauce. When cooked about medium, these little sausages are absolutely to die for. Mouth-watering, delicious, heavenly. Though I doubt any actual person from India would do this, I wrap mine in a naan and dip it in the sauce. It's like an Indian hot dog - hah! For curries, I love the Shamiana sauce (masala base, with coconut milk and some lemon juice), the Tikka Masala sauce (traditional red curry with a hint of mint, though this one is shockingly pinkish/red), and the Kabuli sauce (almond with some black pepper to give it a bit of kick). For the Shamiana sauce, I'd recommend prawns, since the lemon really makes the prawns pop, though it's good with chicken as well. The signature dish is Major Grey Chicken Curry - a sweet mango curry made with cream, sweet onions, and (you guessed it) Major Grey Mango Chutney. It's a bit sweet for my taste, and is probably the least authentic dish on the menu, but if you're bringing people who have never had Indian, it's a great way to introduce curries. There are some great appetizers (love the Ginger Chili Prawns!) and vegetarian dishes (don't miss the spicy green beans), but the Kabobs always steal the show for me. The Coconut Ice Cream Pie is also phenomenal, drizzled with a sour-cream hot fudge sauce and toasted coconut. If I'm here with a party of four, here's what my perfect meal looks like: to drink, a chili-mint lemonade or cardamom tea. Then an order of traditional naan with a Keema appetizer (5 pieces instead of 7), followed by Tikka Masala Chicken, Kabuli Chicken, Shamiana Prawns, and Spicy Green Beans with a large Pulao and a Garlic Naan to share. A slice of coconut ice-cream pie to top it off (I always have to share, I just can't save enough room to finish one by myself) and I go home happy. Service is always good and the waiters are friendly. If you want a delicious meal that will leave you smiling, give Shamiana a try.
(5)Adam T.
Sweet, sweet Shamiana, your food is delicious. Let's take a look at some of the highlights, shall we? Food- We always get the peas and cumin (it's best with potato) and a regular naan to soak up that mind-blowing sauce. We'll typically throw in another random item or special that sounds good. The one thing we haven't been crazy about is the Major Grey. It's a little too sweet for my taste. The other sauces we've had have all been legit. I would recommend not getting the chicken in the curry dishes, it tends to be a little overcooked. Decore - It's a warmly decorated and simplistic setting. Nothing too fancy, but nothing too cheap either. It's a very comfortable spot. Staff - Always very welcoming and accommodating. They all seem to really enjoy being there, as everyone that we've interacted with has been happy and happy that we are there. In regards to low-lights, it's pretty much just parking. They have a lot, but it's combined with PCC and a few other small shops, so it's difficult to get anything near the actual restaurant itself. Not a huge deal, but if it's raining pretty good or if your disabled or whatever, it's kind of a bummer. Either way, go eat here, get the peas and cumin and put a smile on your face!

I ate their food at Microsoft cafeteria and that used to ne delicious , so decided to checkout their lunch buffet. Went for lunch, no meats on the menu, ended up payin $10 something for rice, badly done lentils, grilled veggies and tiny bowls of desert. Was left completely dissatisfied, headed out to spice route to complete the meal. Btw, the food was not even close to Indian cooking, not sure why this place is listed as Indian.
(1)Christin Q.
I am basing my experience on the buffet so I don't know about their regular dinner experience, but I was not at all impressed. All of the selections were stewed, nothing tandoori style or without sauce. I love stewed foods, and so this isn't a problem for me, per se, but I did notice this. For the most part, the food was overcooked. The veggies were so mushy, with no resemblance of distinct flavor or texture left. The major grey chicken--their so called specialty--was so overly sweet. Again, no complexity in flavor or texture. The only thing I would say that was good was one of the soups. Bread is included, and although I am wheat-free and don't eat naan, I do like papadam and ordered it. I was glad they don't charge for it, but it was so oily that I couldn't even eat it. I've never had oily papadam, and I'm not sure if it was because it was made to order or not. I will say that the service was pleasant and prompt, and the cardamom tea was good. But, I didn't like the food so I don't see trying it again when there are better options out there.
(2)S C.
Don't look here for authentic Indian food. Go here for low spice and oil food with creative Indian flavors. Friendly service. Limited selection in their buffet compared to other Indian buffets.
(3)Lauren B.
Excellent quality tasty food that I feel safe eating with my many food allergies. Top notch service. Highly recommend.
(5)Richard H.
So sad. I've been one of those who raved about the Major Grey Chicken Curry. However, going back after a little while I was so disappointed to be served a bland sauce with precooked overcooked rubbery hard chunks of chicken cut into half inch cubes, thrown in and warmed through. For 15.95 without rice, this was a long ways from good value. All restaurants seem to go off the boil eventually, but this one has been moved off our list of "go to " restaurants. Just seen that it changed hands a while back, which probably explains it. Our Major Grey was at best, the do it yourself version you try and make when you get home :-( Would not recommend!
(1)Nat B.
Let's be honest. 98% of us don't have the pallet of reviewer extraordinaire Grant M. Likewise, I'm guessing the vast majority of us have not had the pleasure of visiting India to indulge ourselves in their fine cuisine. Therefore, I'm concluding that what MOST of us on here are looking for is good food. So here's a no bullshh review. The place was empty, the food was pretty darn good. I can't comment on its authenticity, however, it was not oily as someone else described. The naan was decent, maybe a bit doughy, but I've had similar naan at other Indian joints like Roti. The service was good. Overall, it was a pleasurable experience with good food. For shizzle sake, it's in a strip mall, wtf do you expect.
(4)Sean R.
We used to frequent Shamianas before and came back after a long hiatus. We ordered a take out. We were disappointed to find garlic naan very soggy and with bits of hair on it. Lamb and chicken curry dishes had weird aftertaste to them. Mango lassi was ok. The ground meat kabob was pretty good. Overall, I would not recommend.
(2)Bruce K.
I get takeout from Shamiana every Friday and I've been doing it for years. Yes the ownership did change a couple of years age. The long term manager bought the restaurant. He runs it exactly like he did for the years before he bought it. The dishes are exactly the same and very delicious. They have the best hand made samosas, their Tikka Lamb is wonderful, we love their Malay Fire curry sauce. I've watched them make the Naan in the Tandoori oven, and it's excellent. They have a nice wine selection and some great micro brews. My favorite is their Mulligatawny soup, the spices are wonderful! The atmosphere is also very nice, and the place is super clean.
(4)Liz S.
The garlic naan and yogurt sauce is my favorite! I love their pulao with the fried onions on top too. A lot of tasty sauces for entrees as well. I like the Shamiana sauce and peas with cumin the best. The major grey sauce is a little too sweet and rich for my taste, although many people enjoy it. Definitely one of the better Indian restaurants in the Seattle area.
(4)Roxy S.
This place used to be our favorite about 10-15 years ago when there weren't many Indian restaurant around. I would have given them 4 stars if Yelp existed back then. Now their food is OK for the price. Nice and friendly service. If we come back, I would order their beef appetizers as it's pretty tasty and good portion and price.
