Went in after seeing reviews.
I have no idea how this place won best in federal way so many times. Maybe it’s the only Indian place there. Or maybe it was a really bad day.
Went in for a weekday lunch buffet. Had a 9 year old who was priced as an adult but figured food gotta be good based on the ratings
Dang, I was wrong! Google let me astray this time. The 2 medical places in the same plaza should have been a sign!
Appetizer was a dry veg pakora
A couple of vegetarian options were zucchini and broccoli tossed with what looked like Italian seasoning. Then a carrots and peas that looked identical. A third option was mushrooms with sauce. None of these I’d consider Indian
My kid is vegetarian and the best part of his meal was naan and dal. His soup option was the same dal, just more watered down.
Meat options were not much better. Most of the goat was chewy. The curries tasted like meat thrown into packaged curry sauce.
Food was lacking in salt for the most part. In keeping with the tradition, desserts were low in sugar…
Naan was the only decent item in the buffet.

This was my first buffet visit , post covid . First turn off was that they now serve pork. Placed right next to the lamb curry , if you are Indian then that’s a big no no. We used to come here before 2020 at least once a month, during that time other than a grumpy Indian waiter lady , we were ok with this place.
Now,
The place looks run down and the crowd is non Indian mainly. Which is probably why everything looks curry like but nothing tastes like authentic Indian food.
It’s a no for me. If you want traditional Indian food, this will disappoint you.
The staff here is non Indian , is almost mechanical, and regurgitate learned information about the menu, they don’t ask you what you want to drink , they are just marching around cleaning but no effort of being personable.
They have signs : 1) no cell phone, 2) you will be charged for food left on your plate, 3) an extra charges for using credit card.
It’s feels like you are eating in a catholic mass you will be punished if the matron finds you are misbehaving.
If you have read this far, find a better Indian restaurant, but you will be disappointed if you are Indian or love true authentic Indian cuisine and go here.

Did takeout of a couple of their paneer dishes and naan. It was right at closing but the food was still great quality. The vegetables in the curries (palak and muttar) tasted really fresh, which feels like a small thing but made the dishes really stand out for us. We’d definitely order from here again!

The food is reasonably tasty if you’re into greasy comfort food. But unless you enjoy scooping rice off your doorsteps, do not order delivery from this place. This is the second time I’ve made the mistake, and they somehow managed to stuff $150 worth of food into a single paper bag, like they were packing a lunch, not a dinner order for multiple people.
Predictably, the bag couldn’t handle it. Containers burst, liquids leaked, and by the time my food got to the door, it looked like a curry crime scene. One rice container literally exploded. A container of tikka spilled out. The sidewalk got more of my meal than I did.
And the wild part? The exact same thing happened with my last order. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m writing this review. If you’re thinking of trying this place, go eat inside. But whatever you do, skip the delivery unless you enjoy disappointment with a side of sidewalk masala.

The staff at East India Grill were very attentive and friendly. They quickly cleared the buffet dished and kept our drinks refilled.
The buffet food was hot and fresh, and there were plenty of options. Most of the dishes were very mild and not spicy. The bread was excellent, and the chicken biryani was a hit. The pepper chicken and the lamb were also excellent, as were the unnamed appetizers that were being grilled (topped with spices, onions, chickpeas, and tandoori sauce with yogurt).
The vegetarian section was fresh and stuffed full of options, including tastu vegetable pakoras and a zucchini dish.
The restrooms were well-kept and very clean, as was the rest of the restaurant. At $20 per person, it’s a reasonable price. We would gladly visit again (but we might need to ask for a spicy sauce)!

Food is absolutely delicious!! Buffet is fantastic if your wanting to try it out but i highly recommend trying out the regular stuff. All their items are amazing and the buffet only gives you a hint of their selection. Staff is super friendly. Love coming here!

There are not much choices for Indian food in and around Auburn. For the buffet considering the variety of food items from appetizers to main courses to dessert’s to chutneys at a rate of $20 per person – this is a steal. The service is good, the restaurant is clean. Food on a whole was good too. The restaurant has a strict policy of not taking pictures of the buffet

Food was pretty good. Lots of posted signs. Although I *love* the food here (second visit after first one 3 years ago), I can’t return. It is too salty for my blood pressure. It doesn’t taste salty, but something hits about 30 minutes later.

Absolute loved the place! Why? Because of their food! That is what restaurants are supposed to do! They serve buffet all 7 days of the week between 11am – 3pm. Their food is super fresh, tasty, right amount of spice.
They had so many options, veg and nonveg separate sections – 8 options each. There was all kinds of meat- fish, shrimp, lamb, 5 types of chicken. There was fresh naan coming up frequently too.
There was Ragda pattice, dessert and salad and soup section separately.
Also their price is $19.95 per person which I think is reasonable as compared to other options around.
Recommend all Indian food lovers to go.

I really love Indian food and have traveled to India a few times, so I have a sense of what to expect. This was my first visit back to East Indian Grill after moving away from the area about ten years ago, and I was excited to try the lunch buffet again — but overall, it was just okay.
Some dishes were empty when I went up, and a few items on the line were cold. The spice level is extremely mild, which I understand may suit local tastes, but I was hoping for a bit more flavor. They do have a small container of hot sauce by the salad bar, which helps a little.
Drinks aren’t included with the buffet, so I ordered a chai. I love authentic Indian chai — but at $6 for one small cup with no refills, I wish I’d known the price beforehand. (Also, just a small note: “chai” already means tea in Hindi, so “chai tea” is a bit redundant!)
I was surprised that Indian pickle wasn’t included on the buffet. I asked for some on the side and was charged $4.50 for about a half-cup. I love pickle with my food, but at that price, you could buy a jar or two to enjoy at home.
The restaurant’s atmosphere has changed a lot since my last visit — the traditional murtis (Hindu deity statues) are gone, and now there are TVs on the walls. There are also quite a few signs posted about things like using cell phones and different prices for cash vs. credit card payments.
My total came to over $30 for the buffet, one chai, and some pickle, which felt high for the experience. I see other Indian restaurants in the area doing well, and I’ll be trying them soon. As for East Indian Grill, this will likely be my last visit — and my last cup of chai here.
