The food here is great. My indian friend highly recommended this place to me. I think it's the best for me. All the dishes is order to make so that it is fresh, hot and tasty. (so yes, there is a wait for the food.) The parking lot is quite busy here. The service here is great and friendly. The bread here large portion and taste great.

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.

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!
