Eaten from here a few times now and while it's not the best Indian food I've had, it's definitely the best I've had in Seattle.I love Indian Food, so when I get to have some, it takes me to a happy place but not all Indian food is created equal. Chutneys looks nice, they have outdoor seating, a fountain as you're walking inside and the setting is nice overall, so they have that down. I've gotten take out, delivery (via Uber eats) and ate in here so now I think I'm ready to review. When you eat in, it's buffet style, you go up and load up your tray with all the staples of Indian cuisine as much as you want. The masalas, jalfrezis, the Naan are all OK, but they just don't slap like they should. I know it's Indian food, and the people all in there are Indian but it just doesn't slap (metaphorically speaking).Again it's the best I've had since coming to Seattle, particularly by value, but it's not ascension quality.

was in the area looking for a quick bite to eat, and stumbled upon chutney's. the restaurant had a good atmosphere, seemed clean as well. customer service was great, all the waiters were super nice and welcoming. we went when it wasn't too busy but i was still pleasantly surprised by how fast our food came out, about 10 minutes. every dish was really yummy, and i didn't think they were big portions, however looks can be deceiving. a little bit pricey compared to other places ive been, but still very good. can't say much about the buffet since we had a la carte but id love to come back and see how it is.

Tried their buffet, and I was slightly underwhelmed. They had a large assortment for appetizers, entrees, and desserts, along with coffee, but in general these dishes lacked authenticity. The mutter paneer had a good unique creamy texture to it (often missing in this dish), but the daal and other dishes were pretty average in taste. Main reason I wouldn't go back is because there are cheaper Indian buffets offered in the puget sound with tastier dishes. However, the ambience is nice and the restaurant itself is quite fancy!

AMAZING service and food we came a little late, when dining was closed, but takeout was still available and I cannot say enough good things about how friendly and generous the Chutneys staff was. They gave us water, paper plates so we could still eat our takeout in the courtyard, and were so nice. We got butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, rice, and garlic naan. Everything was piping hot and mind blowing it was so good. The restaurant is so cute too. I'd recommend Chutneys to anyone looking for a great restaurant experience with decadent and delightful Indian food!

Great restaurant with amazing food! This was the first Indian restaurant where I didn't feel sluggish afterwards. The food was clean! I'm Indian and don't have a gallbladder so it's hard to indulge in Indian food but chutneys wasn't oily. Usually you can see the oil all over the food at other restaurants but I didn't see it here and the food was fine with my digestion! Service was also great! Definitely coming here when I want Indian food!

I think I shoulda done more research and gone in for the lunch buffet. I am also a proponent of spending more for quality and effort given. That said, I am a bit disappointed by the vindaloo from the restaurant. I go in for medium spicy vindaloo with garlic naan. Rice included, thankfully. What I got was something that wasn't spicy at all (shoulda gotten hot and maybe the spice level reflects the tolerance of the surrounding area) and super thin curry gravy. Vindaloo should be the safe bet here but again, maybe the appeal here is the amazing parking situation and location. I'll try the buffet next time.

Horrible food, we ordered through door dash worth 130$ and it's just gross! The chicken kebab was raw in the center, the malai kebab had no malai on it.. the butter chicken was uncooked, and just yoghurt and square pieces of chicken just thrown into it! The Biryani was just rice mixed with tangy tomato base - with a heavy raw turmeric taste! And the Delhi style chicken curry was a sham! Nothing about anything this restaurant served is Indian food! It's not that difficult people- all recipes are on YouTube, just look it up and cook accordingly. Don't serve shitty uncooked salmonella chicken to your customers! These pictures are after people ate and it's all uncooked. Please shut your place down! You are a scamming people!

Since they are trying, give them a try. If you're going in with great expectations, you're going to leave with great disappointment. They get the basics right and have a nice variety of items on the buffet. Comes at a reasonable price and excellent service. The food tastes like what these kind of dishes are supposed to taste like. The naan is as it should be. The rice has taste. You know they followed the recipies for the curries. And they have a couple American type dishes like potato fry and salad. The desserts are plenty and they have 3 chicken dishes on the weekend. They have coffee with the buffet. This is an above-average buffet with good pricing and nice service. You can tell they are trying to give us a good experience - decor, ambience, music and parking are worth mentioning.

Takeout for lunch: boneless chicken tikka masala (comes with basmati rice) $21, and a side of daal soup $8. I ordered to tikka masala with a 4/6 spice level and was disappointed when there was no spice at all. The sauce is creamy and tasty, but was very mild in spice. The chicken was bland as well. The basmati rice portion was generous, which I loved. But the rice itself was bland and tasted of the water it was cooked in. The daal soup is small for $8, but had plenty of lentils. The downside is that the soup was also bland and lacked and spice, salt, aromatics, etc. Just tasted like a basic tomato base so I added fresh lemon juice and salt myself. This is disappointing because daal soup is my favorite dish! Overall, the takeout service was quick. The staff was very friendly! But the food was just okay. Had to give it a try since it's the closest Indian food in the Wallingford area.
