Appalling Experience: Son Hospitalized After Meal
Absolutely appalling! My son was hospitalized after eating at this restaurant yesterday. He had idli and cheese dosa, and ever since, he's been plagued with severe stomach aches.
The hygiene of the restaurant is also unacceptable. It's completely unacceptable for an establishment to serve food that causes health crises. I strongly urge the city to conduct thorough inspections and check the quality of this place immediately to prevent further incidents.

Disappointing Food Quality
My experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered the Bisibelabath and the Thalapakattu Chicken Biryani, and unfortunately, both dishes failed to impress. The Bisibelabath lacked proper flavor and tasted bland.
The Thalapakattu Chicken Biryani did not taste fresh. Overall, the food quality was poor and did not feel worth the price.

Mixed Takeout Experience, Delicious Chana Masala
My experience with takeout orders has been mixed. The Chana masala was very delicious, though it was quite oily, which might have contributed to its good taste 😅. The Onion samosa was also good.
However, the Chicken pepper fry wasn't up to the mark; the chicken seemed either undercooked or not fresh, and there was an excessive amount of pepper. I might update this review if I decide to try again.

Terrible Service and Long Wait
My experience at this restaurant was the worst. I had to wait for 30 minutes even though the order was showing as prepared. The staff had a really bad attitude.
It was the worst, and I will never order again.

Great Food, Tricky Parking!
My experience at the restaurant involved a bit of a geometric parking problem before picking up the food. Oh yeah, the food is good!

Eagerly Awaited Chennai Express Experience
Chennai Express Authentic Indian has been on my bucket list for ages, and I can't wait to experience their renowned South Indian cuisine! The moderate price range seems perfectly reasonable for quality Indian cuisine in Seattle. I can't wait to get back to Seattle.

Authentic Indian Food, Great Taste
I recently discovered this restaurant and was impressed by the authentic Indian food. We tried their idli sambhar, aloo tikki, and pepper chicken, and all were superb. The aloo tikki was amazingly crispy, resembling a kachori.
Parking can be difficult, so delivery might be a more convenient option than picking up takeout.

Outstanding Biryani and Pakoras!
My experience at Chennai Express was outstanding! The biryani was rich and flavorful, and the pakoras were a definite crowd favorite, perfectly crispy and delicious. Our guests gave them plenty of compliments.
The food quality was top-notch, and the delivery was prompt and reliable. I highly recommend Chennai Express for any gathering or special occasion!

Amazing Indian Food Experience!
My experience at this restaurant was truly amazing. We ordered the Paneer butter masala, chapathi, and samosas. The samosas were great, not at all oily, and the paneer curry was so good.
It is a must-try!
