Description

Garam Masala is a wonderful aromatic blend of spices from India and Pakistan. Garam means "hot" or "heating" and masala means "spice blend". The "hot" is not necessarilly referring to the kind of heat found in hot chillies but to the fact the the spices are roasted then ground. Another Moreexplanation we've heard is that the amalgamated of the spices in garam masala increases body temperature, a pleasant warm glow you might feel after eating a dish savored with it. It does however usually include some black pepper and cinnamon or cassia which carry some heat. Almost all Indian and restaurants offer "Americanized Indian and Pakistani food" in "ethnic Indian ambience" at exorbitant prices. The concept behind Garam Masala restaurant is to offer home style cooking taste in affordable price.

To my surprise all appetizers and all entries … Read full review
  • Rating: 1.0 out of 5"by Sarah L. at Yelp User Review1/12/2013Hopefully this review will help someone making a right choice of not getting ripped by this poor quality restaurant. To begin with if price is you key concern this place is not a budget restaurant to begin with. All items on the menu are almost same price as other in the neighborhood. On top of that … Read full review
  • Rating: 4.0 out of 5"by Junaid O. at Yelp User Review11/15/2012I occasionally go there for the lunch buffet. They are one of the better Indian buffets among the dozen or so places I have tried in Seattle. However, that is not saying much as the desi food scene in Seattle is nothing compared to the offerings in the SF Bay area. Food here is generally OK but a little too … Read full review
  • Rating: 4.0 out of 5"by Aaron S. at Yelp User Review10/11/2012Their kebab selection is pretty decent (Dinner). Indian restaurants/buffets are almost a dime a dozen but this place definitely does serve up something different for their dinner. I like how you can order a la carte. Read full review
