Tacoma Indian Cuisine, Japanese Food & Cozy Cabin Stay

💛 Tandoori Grill Stopped by after visiting Mt. Rainier — super delicious Indian food! 🏔️🍛 The restaurant was full of Indian locals (always a good sign!). Must-tries: Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan! 🧄🍤 Everything was incredibly flavorful. Portions are generous — we had enough leftovers for breakfast the next day 😋📦 Highly recommend! 💛 Maneki A historic spot that’s been around since WWII! 🎎 Made a reservation in advance — the unagi don (eel rice bowl) was pretty good 🍱👌, served with bamboo shoots and carrots. The rice was soft and warm, though it took 20-30 mins to prepare. The cod appetizer was a bit salty (felt like a drinking snack 🍶). Solid, but not mind-blowing — 80/100! 💛 Taan Thai Cookery Found this family-run Thai place in North Bend after hiking Franklin Falls 🥾🌲. Cozy, affordable, and tasty! Most nearby options were pizza, fried chicken, or American/Greek food, so this was a nice Asian alternative 🍛❤️. 💛 New Red Cedar Cabin 🏡 Not a restaurant, but an amazing Airbnb stay! The host makes incredible lemon muffins 🍋🧁 (I usually don’t like lemon flavor, but hers were moist, not too sweet — perfect!). At night, she sets up a bonfire 🔥 where you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores. In the morning, enjoy coffee and muffins ☕😌. The backyard has a small creek — so peaceful and relaxing! Around $220/night. 💛 Danbo Ramen Came here thanks to recommendations! 🍜❤️ Arrived right at opening (11:30 AM) — no wait. The ramen was tasty and fairly priced. Good, but maybe not worth a long line!
