Long time customer, The food is phenomenal. We ordered the Indian salad, fish/saag/paneer curry, and the lamb biryani. Would rank the curry by saag number one followed by paneer and fish. Indian salad was generous in portion and went well with the curry's. Personal favorite was the biryani as it would best taste like Indian fried rice.Giving 2 stars as the waiter skipped the tip button on their iPad and expected us to give cash in tips.. thankfully someone had cash but this felt very shady and was a first

Heard a a lot about this place and we finally made it in. This place is fairly good but it's hyped more than the food is. We ordered a variety of items including saffron gosht, chicken biryani and saag paneer with garlic naan.Taste is pretty good but nothing to rave about and there are plenty other Indian cuisines that have better taste. Chicken biryani was pretty good but the rest was just average.... Overall good but not extraordinaryService was pretty much sub standard....took us a long time to get refills of water and to get attention of our waiter to order more food

I decided to try a new place for biryani after reading some great reviews. I ordered the Chicken 65 biryani for takeout, eager to see what all the hype was about. However, my excitement quickly faded when I saw mustard seeds in the biryani. I'm not a fan of mustard seeds in biryani, so that was my first letdown.Hoping the taste would make up for it, I took my first bite. At first, I thought I had squeezed too much lemon on it, but even without the lemon, the flavor was off. The biryani lacked the rich spices and authentic taste I was expecting. Overall, it was a total disappointment!!!Parking is available.

Came here with 3 others and Ordered a number of dishes along with garlic naan and would rank them in this order:-aloo gobi (8/10)-tikka masala (8/10)-channa masala (6/10)-butter chicken (5/10)-tandoori (5/10)My favorite dish was the aloo gobi, they fried the cauliflower which gave it a nice texture and the was packed with flavor. The tikka masala we didn't order but they gave it to us as an extra on the side I think? My group liked it better than the butter chicken we ordered. The rest of the dishes were just okay and I feel like I've had better flavors at other Indian restaurants around the area. We ordered two baskets of garlic naan but rice came with the dishes.

Kanishka is my favorite Indian restaurant in Seattle.Admittedly I wouldn't say I'm the best critic for Indian food; I mostly stick to the classics like butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. But Kanishka has easily made me crave Indian food more than any other Indian restaurant I've been to in the past.Here's what I enjoy ordering at Kanishka:- Garlic Parmesan Kulcha: this flat bread is a little pricey, but my GF and I always order this without question because it is oh so delicious, especially when you dip it into curry. I would love to try Kanishka's special three cheese naan the next time I go to compare.- Angara Butter Chicken: part of the chef's choice, this is tandoori chicken + butter chicken curry. Who would've thought that a combination of two classic Indian dishes would taste so good together. It tasted a bit more sour than classic butter chicken the first time I tried, but the tandoori chicken in curry really is a game changer.Some other dishes my GF and I have tried: chicken 65 biryani, paneer 65 biryani, butter chicken, angara achari chicken tikka, and tandoori chicken (the chicken 65 biryani or butter chicken was probably the best of these). I've also tried a thali here before which I thought was a really good value and pretty tasty.Service can be a bit hit or miss but is generally pretty good. I would avoid ordering through their online menu; since the last time I used it, it felt like no one came to confirm or follow up on our order until we asked.

We had a friend in town last night and wanted some Indian food so I checked my friend Jay T's Indian food collection on Yelp and we decided on Kanishka Cuisine of India. Also, a couple of us had been here before so that helped in our decision.The inside is deceptively large as there are two separate dining areas separated by a bar. We had great service and the restaurant was pretty busy the entire time we were there. We shared some dishes and some garlic and Bullet Naan (Bullet Naan was too hot for me!). All the dishes were wonderful and tasty. We had the Vijayawada biryani, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dum Aloo (stuffed potatoes cooked in Kanishka's special sauce), Chicken Korma, and Fish Saag.A nice touch was the staff offering us complimentary Chai Iced Tea (I think). It was creamy and sweet and helped offset some of the spiciness of the meal. Overall, we really enjoyed this seemingly authentic Indian restaurant. A great place to try!

There is parking in front of restaurant, it is a shared parking area with other businesses. We visited on a Monday night and it wasn't busy so no wait for a table. The restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside, with 2 separate dining rooms and a full bar. The service is efficient but not overly engaging. The food is really good. We ordered the lamb samosa which had ground lamb meat. I asked for medium spice level for my chicken tikka masala and it was the perfect amount of heat. I enjoyed my meal especially dipping the garlic naan in the sauce with the rice. We have visited a few times and haven't been disappointed.

Came for lunch on a Tuesday. I was skeptical going in given the recent terrible reviews but honestly I was knocked out of the park. Great portions and wonderful flavor.The paneer biryani ($16.99) was delicious and the portions were huge. The raita on the side was also the perfect accompaniment too. They also had lunch thalis ($19.99) that looked incredible (my friend got it).The staff was so sweet and accommodating.

I came here with some friends. They'd been here before and loved the thali so I wanted to try it too. It is a bit of a drive from downtown Seattle but I thought it was worth it. The space is huge so I don't think you will ever have a problem getting seated. They have a la carte options and the thali. The thali is a big bang for the buck so I would recommend doing that. They have options of 4 or 5 dishes. The dishes include vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Among the 3 of us, we got the madras chicken, paneer, dal, the goat curry, saag chole, sambar dosa. The thali comes with a decent portion of rice, samosa, a naan basket and a gulab jamun. Everything was delicious but the paneer, chicken and the goat curries were the best. I'm someone that tends to have leftovers. With this thali, I had nothing left! It was really, really good. Of course, I didn't eat for another 24 hours lol! Their chai left a lot to be desired. So, I would not recommend that. I'll be back for their thali again!

We haven't visited Kanishka in a very long time, as originally, we weren't impressed with some dishes that we love to order in Indian restaurants. We did visit with friends who made wonderful suggestions that we had never tried before and those dishes were delicious. They confirmed that the usual items we like to order are not the best here. The naan was great, but the bullet naan was very soggy. Parking is plenty, but very small stalls, so don't bring your biggest SUV if you can avoid it. Service was ok, but felt a bit rushed at times.
