Mayuri Indian Cuisine Reviews

• Mayuri does brisk lunch business for good reason

  Rating:

  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.

• Mayuri Indian Cuisine: Bellevue's Best Southern Indian Cuisine

  Rating:

  I prefer Northern Indian cuisine to Southern. But I prefer it to Udupi Palace and though there are striking similarities Mayuri link 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.

• Great Indian Food

  Mayuri is my family's favorite Indian restaurant on the Eastside (they have another location in Queen Anne in Seattle as well). Their lunch buffet is a hit for many around the area as you are likely to find long lines whenever you go during the week. Their food truly yummy - try Saag Paneer fro a vegetarian treat, or Chicken or Lamb Tikka Masala as their Tikka Masalas are really out of this world. At dinner time they have a rather nice atmosphere - a couple times when we have dined in on weekends they even had live music. A must try in the least!

• overrated

  Rating:

  I think the food at Mayuri's is terrible, especially the buffet. I cant understand why it is so crowded for lunch. Most of the dishes taste the same and lack the consistency from day to day, except for the greasiness. The dinner menu is ok.
  
  I think it is overrated

  Mayuri Indian restaurant is located in the complex which also houses Trader Joe's and Longs Drugs. I love their lunch buffet. I stock up and overstuff myself on the chicken makhani, naan and tandoori chicken. Then to really overdo it, I enjoy a nice bowl of fermi (like rice pudding). The service here is good and the restaurant is clean. They attract a lot of business from Microsoft and the surrounding companies. Parking can be a little tight but there's usually spots to be found. Definitely worth a long lunch.

• Wow! Awesome lunch buffet, lot of varieties

  Rating:

  This place is the hot fav. for Microsoft and other close by employees! The buffet (starts around 11:00 and goes until 2:00) is very good. They have on an average 5 veg. dishes and 3 non. veg. dishes, fresh Naan, couple of types of rice, etc.
  
  The part I really like is how it fits the budget - 6-7$ for the lunch buffet!! The only drawback (like some of the other Indian buffet places) is that they don't rotate the dishes very well, i.e. some of them of repeated often times, in the same week. But since they have quite a few dishes, it's nice. Also, their dinner menu is very nice, you order anything from south-Indian to north-Indian dishes, prices for all are very reasonable.
  
  The place is also very well decorated and seating is plenty (good for a large party or birthdays).

  Nice staff, good vegetarian selection. Their lunch boxes are great! The food is very good, although occasionally there is a dish I don't like much.

• chaat and bollywood

  Rating:

  Mayuri is the best place in the Seattle area to get chaat. They also have a huge selection of hindi movies on DVD or VHS. The deli has all kinds of delicious chaat, samosas, bhel puri, pani puri as well as fresh chapati and a huge counter full of sweets. The jelebis are great. They also make cakes to order, and a few Indian desserts that I haven't found anywhere else in the area.

• Good Indian food

  Rating:

  Although not the best Indian food place out there, it’s among the top for locations in Bellevue. The Nan is good, especially the spinach nan, and the fact that they are in the Entertainment Book is a bonus as well (that’s how I first discovered this place). The flavors are full in their curries and their mango drinks are also quite good.

• Good Dhosa...

  I visited this place 3 times in 6 months of period and i found that only good thing to eat is Dhosa a south Indian dish. Rest food was ok not that great. Good service and nice atmosphere but i think we look for food in a restaurant....
