Scam! Tasteless Food and Rotten Chicken
I wish I could give a negative rating. This place is a scam, serving tasteless food and using the name 'Ammi Pakwans' on Google when it's actually 'Mirchi Masla'. I ordered chicken tikka, which had a rotten chicken smell.
Even after paying the bill and informing the waiter, he tried to scam me by saying he'd give a discount, which he clearly didn't. Please don't waste your hard-earned money on this so-called Indian restaurant.

Best Tandoori Chicken Tikka & Butter Chicken
My experience at Ammis Pakwan, now operating from Mirch Masala Restaurant, was excellent. They offer everything halal. I particularly enjoyed their tandoori chicken tikka and butter chicken, which were the best.
I will definitely come back again soon.

Picture vs. Reality: Run Away!
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The food they served was a stark contrast to the appealing pictures they advertised. It felt like the reality was the opposite of what was shown.
My advice to others is to run in the opposite direction if you see this restaurant.

Disappointing First Visit to Ammi's Pakwan
I was really excited to try Ammi's Pakwan for the first time, especially for their Pani Puri and Dahi Fuchka, as the menu pictures looked so appealing. However, my experience was quite disappointing. I expected the puris to be pre-filled with ingredients, but I had to assemble them myself, which wasn't what I anticipated.
The Dahi Puri, which I was particularly looking forward to, came with a small cup of yogurt that had an unpleasant taste. This significantly detracted from the enjoyment. Additionally, the potatoes served alongside were separate and had a bitter flavor, which was unexpected as I usually enjoy potatoes.
My first review is a bit of a bummer, as I was hoping to discover a new favorite spot for these dishes. It seems that sometimes the reality doesn't match the pictures, and while that's understandable, I wish the overall experience had been better.

Halal Concerns and Disappointing Seafood
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a significant lack of clarity regarding their halal status. There was no mention of it on the menu, at the establishment, or anywhere visible. The only information came from word of mouth by a staff member.
Additionally, they serve alcohol. We were skeptical and opted for fish and shrimp dishes, which were unfortunately not that great. The tandoori seafood platter was also disappointing as it lacked shrimps.
I believe the management should consider changing their name on Google as it is deceiving for many visitors to Seattle.

Disappointing Experience at Mirch Masala
First of all, this place is using an old name. The waiter informed us that the restaurant has been operating for the last three years under new management, "Mirch Masala. " I'm not even sure if they are still serving Halal food or just using the name of the old management.
We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Roast, and Chicken Biryani. OMG, I have not eaten worse food than this. The Chicken Roast was so dry that it seemed it was from yesterday.
The Chicken Tikka Masala was made in the base of butter chicken. The rice had human hair in it. The food was very pricey and not even worth 50% of what I paid.
I will never recommend this to anyone. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Disappointing Egg Biryani Experience
This afternoon, I placed an order for egg biryani through Uber Eats. Unfortunately, what I received was far from biryani – it appeared to be a tasteless curry combined with rice. The experience was quite disappointing, especially considering the high cost.
I cannot recommend this establishment based on my experience.

Rock in my bread, salty food!
My experience at the restaurant was quite unpleasant. The food I ordered hurt my teeth. While I was speaking with the restaurant manager about the bread, a piece of rock came under my teeth.
The bread was burnt out, as you can see in the pictures. I am now trying to contact the restaurant owner. You can see the garlic naan in the pictures.
The food was also very salty.

Wrong Order, Not Authentic Biryani
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the Hyderabadi mutton biryani, but I was sent chicken biryani instead. Furthermore, what they served as biryani was essentially chicken curry mixed with rice, not authentic biryani.
I would advise others not to trust this restaurant if they are looking for genuine dishes.

Disappointing Mutton Biryani Experience
My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. I ordered the mutton biryani, but what I received was essentially white rice mixed with some curry, presented in a soggy box. It was far from what a proper biryani should be.
This experience was not only disappointing but also offensive, as it seems they are serving this dish to people who may not know what authentic biryani tastes like.
