Roti Cuisine of India

Was hosted by Kartik, absolutely amazing! Top service and probably one of the best goat curry I’ve ever had. The garlic naan was no joke as well. Was not expecting my afternoon to be this good, this meal is worth it. Cocktail wise, it can be a bit sweet for my taste

Absolutely loved my experience here! The food was delicious — rich flavors, authentic spices, and perfectly cooked dishes that reminded me of home. The ambience was warm and inviting, with a cozy, welcoming vibe that made it perfect for both casual dinners and special outings. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. Overall, a great spot for anyone craving quality Indian food with a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I recently discovered Roti during the 4th of July visit to Seattle, a fairly new spot in the South Lake Union neighborhood, and I must say—it’s a solid addition to Seattle’s Indian dining scene. Our Order (for 2 people): Samosa Kale Chaat – A beautifully executed dish! A fusion twist on the traditional chaat with crispy samosas, kale, tangy chutneys, yogurt, and a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. Definitely a must-try appetizer. Papadam (3 pcs) – Crisp and fresh, but the real standout was the green chutney served alongside—vibrant, zesty, and full of flavor. Gongura Paneer – Though it reminded me of Palak Paneer at first glance, the use of sorrel leaves (gongura) brought a unique, tangy twist to the classic dish. We ordered it medium spicy, and the flavor was just right—rich, slightly earthy, and absolutely delicious. Garlic Naan – Thick, soft, and buttery—the way I like it. Held up great with the curries. Roti – Surprisingly a standout! Crisp, well-roasted, and just perfect. Definitely worth ordering again. Steamed Rice – Served alongside the curry. Simple, well-cooked, and a good addition to round out the meal. We also asked for some green chilies on the side, which were happily provided. Ambiance: The place has an appealing and modern aesthetic with a stylish bar setup. It manages to strike a perfect balance between cozy and lively—great for a casual date night or catching up with friends. The lighting and vibe were on point, offering a warm and welcoming environment. Service & Presentation: The plating was elegant, and the serving crockery had a nice upscale touch. However, the textured plates made it a bit tricky to clean up curries, and I personally found the oversized cutlery a little awkward to use. Also, the table space felt a bit compact, especially with multiple dishes on it—but manageable. Portion Size: The portion sizes were just right for two people—not too little, not overwhelming. It felt thoughtfully portioned for a shared meal. Pricing: Given the upscale look, prime SLU location, and ambiance, I expected the place to be on the pricier side—but it was surprisingly reasonable. For the quality, plating, and setting, the pricing felt very fair and approachable. Special Mentions: Jain food options are available too—just make sure to inform them a few hours or a day in advance. We went during an off-peak hour, so it wasn’t crowded and the service was quick and attentive. Final Thoughts: Roti offers flavorful, well-prepared Indian food with a modern twist in a stylish setting. Minor adjustments in table space and cutlery would enhance the experience, but the taste and service are spot on. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Vegetarian dishes here are overpriced considering the small portions. The falooda lacked flavor and the ingredients were not properly mixed, though the rasmalai was tasty. The malai kofta came with just three pieces, which felt insufficient. Overall an upscale dining place but would not recommend it for vegetarian food.

Great experience! I ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh based on my server Rupesh’s suggestion and it was incredibly tender and flavorful! I’d also like to highlight the interior, it’s one of the most beautiful Indian restaurants in Seattle

Overall I think this place deserves around a 4.5 rating. I eat here a lot because it's right near my work. Their bhuna gosht is quite good and they do real spice levels. They also have an Irani chai, not just masala. As far as places in Seattle go this is really nice. Their staff is also very friendly, though a couple times I have had to remind them about a drink, the must recent time was excellent. The atmosphere is very will put together, with nice looking decor and lofi versions of common songs. Overall this seems like a pretty good place to take someone on a date.

Extremely Disappointed, Lost a Loyal Customer I have never written a bad review before, but my experience with Roti Cuisine of India yesterday was truly upsetting. It was our wedding anniversary, and my cousin wanted to surprise us by ordering from my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, he accidentally canceled the order right after placing it, but his card was still charged immediately. He reached out to Uber, who informed him that the restaurant had already accepted the payment, and asked him to contact Roti Cuisine of India directly. When we called the restaurant, they denied receiving any payment. However, upon checking the credit card pending charges, it clearly showed Roti Cuisine of India as the vendor. We called multiple times, calmly explained the situation, and each time we were met with dishonesty. They kept insisting they hadn’t received the money and even promised to call us back after “speaking with Uber” which, of course, never happened. All we wanted was to get the food we paid for, especially on a special day that meant so much to us. Instead, we were left frustrated and disappointed. As a regular customer for the past two years, I’m deeply disheartened. I always believed they valued their customers and operated with integrity, but this experience proved otherwise. Congratulations on keeping the $50–$60 but you’ve lost a loyal customer for life.

Returning to Roti Cousin for the second time felt less like dining out and more like revisiting a place that understands warmth, culture, and hospitality at its finest. Despite the restaurant being packed to the brim with guests , the team handled the busy flow with grace, patience, and impressive coordination. What made this visit even more special was the incredible service provided by a server named Chan. In the middle of such a high-paced environment, she remained calm, composed, and sincerely attentive. Her support and kindness didn’t go unnoticed )) she went out of her way to ensure we felt welcomed, comfortable, and cared for. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism and genuine human warmth so effortlessly🥺
