We were greeted and seated promptly. Interior has warm tones with comfy booths. Started with calamari which had a slightly spicy breading that went well with the squid. Very tasty dipped in the cilantro chutney. Garlic naan was also good with the chutney. Basmati rice was standard, low to no seasoning allowed the curries we ordered to stand out. We ordered lamb rogan gosht and fish karai gosht spicy (options were low, med, spicy). Good heat without overpowering the other spices and flavors in the curries. Very good reheated as a leftover as well.

You know how women do a little dance when the food tastes great and we’re no longer hangry? That was me yesterday. We stumbled across this place and decided to give it a try, and we’re already planning on going back. The service was excellent and the food was even better.
Hands down the best Indian food we’ve had since moving to Washington.

Stopped by for Sunday family lunch and had a great experience! Service was excellent, and the food met expectations, our palates were satisfied, and we’d happily make this a regular spot in the area.
We really enjoyed our meal:
Dal Soup with lentils and herbs was simple yet comforting—it truly hit the spot.
Chicken Curry Special (medium spice) had a well-balanced blend of herbs, curry, and heat, though the portion was on the smaller side.
Tandoori Chicken wasn’t particularly moist but wasn’t dry either—it had a nice grilled aroma that added depth.
As for the naan, I realized I prefer regular or garlic over the meat-filled version, which didn’t add much flavor but did offer a bit of extra protein.
Additionally, if you need to host a large party or event, they have a space you can reserved.
Note on my rating scale: Sharing this for transparency, as I recognize that a 3-star review may be misinterpreted as reflecting a mediocre experience.
5 stars – Exceptional: Outstanding food, service, and/or overall experience. Truly worth going out of your way for. (For example, we frequently make the drive from San Antonio to Austin just for Uchi.)
4 stars – Very Good: Exceeds expectations in quality, service, or ambiance.
3 stars – Good: A solid experience that meets expectations. I consider any place with 3 stars or above worthy of a return visit.
2 stars – Disappointing: Falls short in food quality or service.
1 star – Poor: Not recommended.

Tonight, I stamped my food passport at Shahi Tandoor and Grill (23204 57th Ave W, Mountlake Terrace), a family-owned restaurant specializing in Indian-Pakistani and Mediterranean fare that’s been serving the community for two years, kitty corner from Diamond Knot Brewpub.
Atmosphere
Once I enter, the rich smell of spices finds me. My stomach grumbles from want of anything on the menu.
The booths are bordered by honey-colored pine and multi-striped upholstery.
There’s upbeat, melodic Indian fusion music gently playing.
Overall, a treat to the senses.
Q and A
I ask my host, Aziz, some questions…
What dish here is the most traditional?
Aziz: “I would say we have something called Biryani. And that we only have it on a catering and order basis. It’s a more authentic way of making that.” (The menu describes it as “A classic Mughlai dish of basmati rice cooked with a special blend of spices. Served with raita.” You have a choice of chicken, lamb, or fish as an accompaniment.)
What do you eat when you’re not trying to impress customers?
Aziz points to Karai (the chef’s special, cooked in a traditional Indian wok with onions, tomatoes, crispy bell peppers, and spices). He says, “It depends on my mood. Usually, I can go with this.
“Something special about us is tandoor. (He points to the menu listing Tandoori dishes). These dishes are baked in a clay pot. You put it in the iron rod, and they bake it in the tandoor. That’s a different way of cooking.”
Are your customers mostly big groups?
Aziz: “Mostly three, four, five. Sometimes even one because we have lunch specials; one person from a work culture or a student can just come and dine.”
What are the spice levels here?
Mild, Medium, and Hot
Which dish do you think people overlook?
Aziz: “I would say Malai Boti Kebab (a popular Pakistani and North Indian dish consisting of boneless chicken marinated in a creamy, spiced mixture and grilled or baked).
What do I decide to have for dinner? It’s a toss-up between Malai Boti Kabab, or the Karai (described above). I go with the chicken Karai with garlic naan bread and basmati rice. To drink: Iced Mango Lassi (a traditional Indian drink made with mango, homemade yogurt, and rosewater.
Time to Eat
I tear off a piece of the garlic naan and use it to pick up a piece of chicken. The taste is rich with savoriness/umami. I quickly tear off another naan and try the onions and bell peppers.
Not wanting the basmati rice to feel lonely, I dig into that with gusto.
Oh, and here is the orange drink. How does it taste? Like drinking cool mango yogurt; it goes down smooth.
Note: Although my taste buds are accustomed to having very spicy food, the medium-level spiciness still leaves me with a runny nose. You may want to order the mild spice depending on your comfort level.
While enjoying my dinner, a steady stream of customers arrives, some new, some Aziz calls by name.
A couple of times, Aziz and another host come over to see how I’m doing. I just give a smile and say, “I’m not done yet.” Another note: The servings are generous; it’s okay to ask to take some home.
Terrace is blessed with a variety of eateries: Mexican, Thai, Italian, Greek, and meat-and-potatoes American.
Tonight’s trip to India makes my food passport happy.

Me and my family went here for dinner last night and it was incredible. The server checked in on us the right amount and was kind. The veg delight was amazing and both the hot chai with milk and the iced tea without milk were great. Then we had the Shahi Paneer and Malai Kofta. The spice levels are really accurate which is important to us because I love spicy food and our toddler needs it more mild. There are a lot of great Indian restaurants on the east and north of Seattle but this is going to be our go-to from now on.

Absolutely wonderful food and service! Very accommodating and friendly staff! Beautiful location and building! My butter masala with paneer was fabulous and the rice is included so you don’t need to add it on like other places! We lived Their garlic Naan and my partner got the lamb vindaloo that we didn’t get a photo of but everything is amazing!

My husband and I stopped here to eat dinner, after I picked up from the Mount lake Terrace light rail station Thursday night.
The waiter was very nice and friendly. I had a Coconut Curry with vegetables. There was an option for meat or vegan too. What was extra nice was that I could çhoose mild 0 to spicy. I had .5 spice lol. That was the first time at an Indian restaurant that they let me choose my spice level. It was delicious. I also shared my butter chicken with my husband, it was good too.
He ordered the rack of lamb but they were out of it. It sounds really good. He ended up ordering a spicy rice dish I can’t remember the name. We also ordered garlic naan which is our favorite. It was baked perfectly and not burned.
We left very happy.

We stopped by on a Friday evening and we enjoyed our meal very much! We tried Mango Curry with Chicken and Shahi Korma with Lamb, and Garlic Naan. All tasty! We read in one of the reviews that even mild is somewhat spicy, so we went with 1 out of 5 in spiciness, but we probably could have handled 2 or 3 fine. The server was friendly, and the food came quickly. We’ll come back!

Come and visit Shree. She is a wonderful hostess and will guide you in a lovely experietnce. The chai is flavorful, can be sweetened to taste. Comes with one refill. Love fluffy basmati rice. The Saag Palak is creamy. The fresh garlic naan is generous and so fragrant. Asif delivered food quickly with a smile.
Reasonable price. Enjoyed lively but relaxing music.
When I’m trying a new place I will often try the palak saag first. I found that if they get this right then all the other stuff is going to be just as flavorful and tasty. This is a very rich, creamy and a bit spicy.
Each dish was enough for two people so I had plenty of leftovers but my difficulty was it tastes so delicious that I didn’t want to stop eating and I kind of got over full. It’s really tasty!
