Kathakali, An Indian Eatery - Kirkland

We went on a Sunday afternoon and the waiting period was about 30 minutes. as they allow us to order the items during the waiting, eating came faster as soon as we got the table. very good customer service and of course great authentic kerala eating. we ordered many items such as paruppu vada, kappa, sweet ishtu, kadalai curry, mango puliseri, pfeffer mushroom dosa, aapam, malabar paroata, vegetable biriyani. I liked all the items we ordered. my first favorites was mango puliseri with malabar paroata. kadala curry and aapam combination was too good.

Great South Indian food. get the Appam plate and curries . the best. the server and the host were friendly, even if the location was super busy. wait a long time, but it's worth it. we have two tellers of appam, chicken stew, kerala meen curry and the jackfruit infused dosa. I loved everything! recommend this place if you want to explore South Indian food of a species and it doesn't matter to wait!

The food was good. we had firecracker chicken, palakkad avial, malabar parotta and mutton varattiyathu. the food was not spicy and delicious. we also had the nair kada chaya. it was good that positiw is that no added sugar

The first time and wanted to have a good kerala. first the parking lot is so deorganized! it's so hard to get a parking space and then the waiting time! had to wait almost an hour. when we came in, it was almost the time for the last order! ok, after all this waiting time we waited for good food. they needed 20-30 minutes to get everything. Veggie options were very fewer. had to buy a few beenstock curry that was ok. she recommended something chili, but it was like wings, but with Indian spicy. not my taste! it was more for gora visitors .. aapam was good. also parotta was good. torf curry was the best. atlast we tasted some keralite .. service could be better. Pretty slow. they serve beer .. price was not too cheap. .. total an average experience!

I ordered Goat Biryanis and naan bread for lunch today. The food was ready on time to get picked up and the staff that was handling the orders pick up was very friendly. I opened the Biryanis container when I got home and I was shocked that they placed inside the hot food a plastic container with sauce in it. This was extremely disgusting as never in my life I have seen any restaurant does that. This is a health hazard. Who puts a plastic container in the middle of hot food ??? Back to the food, the Biryani's was good. It was a large portion and there was so much meat too. So the food was good. The Naan bread was ok. I had better. I would have given them 4 stars if it was not for placing that plastic container inside the food container. You can see the picture. I am hoping that the owner takes care of this situation ASAP before they get someone sick. I through away that container in the garbage and I removed the food around it and put in the garbage too which was a waste. I will only go back if they stop putting the plastic containers in the middle of the hot food containers
