Chutneys recently moved to the Southwest corner of Wallingford Center, which is at the corner of N 45th Street and Wallingford Ave N, in Seattle. The interior is delightful with Indian accents throughout.
Authentic tandoori dishes come from a traditional clay oven. Curries with chicken, lamb and shrimp are cooked to perfection. Kothmir Chicken, cooked in a coconut curry sauce, is excellent. The soft naan bread is warm and enticing.
We invite you to join us for lunch or dinner.

In Short
Chutney's made its name with standards mixed with "Americanized" variations on Indian flavors. Dishes range from traditional vegetable pakoras (deep fried vegetable dumplings) to chicken tandoori, marinated in yogurt and baked in a round clay oven. The signature tikka masala, with chunks of lamb bathed a blend of butter, cream and curry, is as rich as it sounds.

OK, when i go out for Indian I am really looking for authentic Indian food. I understand that anything we get here in America isn't totally traditional, but some places do it much better than Chutneys. I mean, they honestly served caesar salad as part of the lunch buffet! If I wanted salad I could have walked across the street to the QFC and bought something for much cheaper. The food overall isn't bad, its just not that good considering how many good Indian restaurants we have in this town. Well, I guess they can't all be good.

It appears that the people who have given this restaurant good reviews are not familiar with good Indian food. This is the worst I have ever eaten. The food arrived cold and very quickly so it seems it was frozen and heated in a microwave. The portions are very small (for food and drinks). The quality of the food is inferior. The stand-offish owner only talks to diners he thinks will spend big. The wait staff hover around which is uncomfortable. It was like a Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmare episode. I am intrigued to know what other diners liked but I won't be returning to find out.

I can't say enough about their lunch buffet! It's usually got a healthy crowd at lunch -- a good sign -- but plenty of seating. The buffet has a large array of salads, about 12 - 15 different entrees, and warm nan bread, on demand. On top of that they often have about 4 scrumptious desserts (3 custardy-type desserts, fresh fruit and these warm delicious donut balls (not the traditional term) in a warm sauce. The service could be even a little friendlier, but I'd say it's comfort food at it's finest.
