I used to eat at Mayuri with friends all the time. The food was good. However one time I was having dinner and a huge r a t ran through the dining area and under my table. One customer ran out of the restaurant screaming and I wasn't too upset really until the waiter said "Don't worry we'll catch it. We have a guy that's good at it".... so that happens often enough that they have a person to catch the r a t s? No thanks I'll be eating elsewhere from now on. I wish this didn't really happen because I loved the place before that.
Pros: Tasty Food
Cons: Dirty Kitchen / Rodents

Love the food. All you can eat, and I love all the different curries and especially their desserts. Today though, the tendori chicken was raw. I gotta say, most people use the plates, but I actually really like to use their metal serving dish that has areas carved out to place sauces, curries and naan/rice. When I went to India, this is how people there ate at their cafeteria. It gets busy during lunch hour so I recommend people to go little bit before 12. It's very filling so make sure you are hungry!

My family and I love this place. Their Dhosa is the best we have had in Washington and I highly recommend the Okra Masala. We have never done the buffet but the dinner dishes are always great.

I can't say that I'm an expert on Indian Cuisine but I thought the food was really tasty. I went with a friend for dinner and we ordered one "a la carte" meal that comes just with rice, and another full entree meal (forgot the name they give for it ) which comes with little side dishes, naan, rice and dessert. there was a lot of food for both of us and i really enjoyed it. We went on a Friday evneing around 6pm and it was not yet packed. By the time we were finished though, there was a small line up so this place is quite popular.

I've eaten here a couple of times. The staff is very polite and considerate. Even though they are very busy, everyone seems happy. I usually get the lunch box, which is either chicken or vegetarian. In the lunch box the portions are enough for another meal which I happily save for later. I really enjoy their food.

This is probably my favourite Indian restaurant, so far. The prices are reasonable, though it's not cheap, and the service is good. I don't think i've ever emptied my water glass there. My favourite dish is their rich and creamy Lamb Koorma, seconded by any of the Saag dishes. Usually, my dining partner and i will share one entrée à la carte and then another entrée as a thali dinner, which includes Dal and dessert, among other things. ...And of course, their Naan is fabulous.
Pros: Service, Free parking, Model cuisine
Cons: Cramped parking lot

First I have been to Indian restaurants all over the west coast. The only better restaurant I found was the Red Barn, and they are now out of business.
The reviewers pointing you to other restaurants, I think work at the other restaurants.
The lunch buffet is the best on the East-side, and the place is packed at lunch and worht the 10-15 minute wait.
Sundays brunch has Goat, and it is great!!!
If anything they are to carefull on the spice for those of us with pale skin, but they are very-very frendly and always great service and taste.

If you don't arrive at Mayuri at 11 on the dot, be prepared to stand in a long line while you wait to snatch up goodies at the buffet. It's enough to make you want to get back in line while still spooning up lunch just so you don't ever have to face a clean plate while you're still hungry.
Mayuri has standard Indian buffet fare: tandoori chicken (chicken cooked in a clay oven, has a distinctive red color), vegetable pakoras (battered and fried vegetable goodness), several veggie and chicken curries and kormas (stew-type dishes), daal (lentil stew), channa masala (chickpea stew), saag paneer (spinach with indian cheese) naan, basmati rice, raita (yogurt-cucumber dip), and the standard kheer dessert (rice pudding). The dishes change up a little bit, but you'll always have plenty to eat. I always leave this place full to bursting.
At dinner, you can cobble together your own "buffet" of sorts by ordering the thali dinner. I like having the samosa and pappadams (fried crisps) with their deliciously tart and sweet chutneys at dinner. Their mango lassis aren't always cold, but their tea is always hot and steamy.

I prefer Northern Indian cuisine to Southern. But I prefer it to Udupi Palace and though there are striking similarities Mayuri http://www.mayuriseattle.com/ is definitely the more upscale place, at least by appearance not just statues and wall hangings, but in comfort as well. Perhaps this is appropriate for a place with a name that means "peacock". I found more items on their buffet to my liking, and they seem to restock it more often than their apparent competitor.
