“ We dined at Chutney's last night with five people. Two of us are vegans and the staff was very accommodating and made sure our dishes had no ghee, yoghurt, or any other dairy. Our waiter, Noor, was fantastic and the dishes were beautifully plated. All of us enjoyed the food so much. The only strange thing was that the updated menu online (as of Feb. 2025, which is NOW) and the menu prices and offerings at the restaurant are not the same. Online the roti and breads are $2.99 each but we were charged $6 for all of them! Also, the vegetarian entrees are far less expensive on the online menu than what we paid. What's that about??? ”

“ Chutney's has been around downtown Bellevue for a while, but its recent renovation of the entire restaurant has really improved the dining experience. It's nice to see that not only does it serve good Indian good, but its ambiance is great for group gatherings. My colleagues and I visited Chutney's for our birthday lunch and we had a fun time here. The menu offers a lot and unlike what Chutney's used to offer, they no longer have the weekday lunch buffet. Instead, they offer their all day menu which is plenty to choose from. For the three of us, we decided to partake in family style dining, which is what I recommend since you can try more of the items. We ordered the biryani, garlic naan, exotic curry and the tikka mushrooms. And I had the mango coconut mocktail for my drink. Everything we ordered was tasty. It seemed like every table had the biryani, which comes out in a dish that has a baked dough on top. The server cuts it open and there you see the fragrant rice with the spices and meat. I recommend trying! But be warned that this was actually a lot spicier than we expected. It was good, but something to be cautious about if you don't like spicy food. The exotic curry was also nice, especially to go with the biryani. We ended up choosing the lamb with it, and the lamb was very tender. Tikka mushrooms were also a nice addition, adding in some veggies, completing our meal. Our server was Hira and he was super friendly. He found out it was our birthday lunch and they actually play a birthday song on the speakers! That was fun. I'm glad we visited Chutney's 2.0, which is a solid place for Indian food in downtown Bellevue. ”

“ Ambience and service = 10/10 experience. This is the best chocolate brownie and ice cream I have eaten in Seattle. Cutting one star for veg kolhapuri not tasting authentic and for the chicken curry to be too spicy (upset the stomach of my guest the next day). ”

“ We ordered shikanji- which was not made from fresh squeezed lime and was more like lemonade, hence disappointing. For hot and sour soup- they did not ask for the spice level, so be careful since it was super spicy. Once requested to adjust the spice level, they were able to serve a super yummy soup- but would have appreciated if they asked it in the beginning itself. The momos were super delicious and worth trying. The sham savera kofta was on a sweeter side but full of flavours and delicious. The service could have been better as the corrected soup was served when we were in middle of eating naan and entrees, so that spoiled the experience for us. The ambiance was nice, they have live music on Friday nights- worth visiting! ”

“ Overall great presentation. They had dry ice, everything was pretty and picturesque. We ordered the high tea (we started with one and ended with 2, for 4 people, they say it serves 2-3 but I'd say if it's all you're ordering aim for it serving 1-2). We almost weren't able to order the second I'm guessing because of reservations and timing so just make the right call first. Now, the food is cute, but I was a bit disappointed it didn't have everything listed on the menu, they just have run out because instead of the vol a vent pastry, they had Mac and cheese bites and a mozzarella stick which is not what I expected. Similarly the dessert was off too compared to the menu. I'd rather they call out what you won't be getting as part of the menu. It's strange though because we got there just as they opened so I'm surprised they didn't have everything. I'll say because we still got a bit of room, we also ordered some snacks and the paneer tikka which was nice and smoky (a bit too spicy for my partner but I liked it). And my favorite was the papdi tacos, such a cool take on papdi chaat and the taco shell was yummy. That saved my feelings towards the place and I'm willing to come back to see if it'll get the star back. ”
