Bhojan Xpress — Restaurant in Bellevue

Update: 10-20-21: After the new management took over and converted it to a Vegetarian restaurant, I should say they have reinstated the quality. They have added many new items to their menu and Dosas are better now with over 20 varieties of Dosa. Definitely recommend to try it. Old Review: We used to be a regular customer of this place. The dosas used to be light brown, soft and sometimes cripsy (in a good way) and tasty. But Yesterday's (Aug 6th 2021) experience was horrible. We ordered 3 Masala Dosas and 1 plain dosa, there was something seriously wrong with the batter that was used. All Dosas felt like Rubber and was hard and white in color. Some of them had black patches in it and tasted horrible. The coconut chutney was also spoiled. If the quality cannot be maintained they should inform the customers that it is not in available rather than selling sub par food items. Had great expectations of this place but...

I went to pick up an early dinner. While picking up the food I noticed one of the employees making naan while his mask was under his chin. Hello COVID!!! the other cooks had there mask on. I told the lady waiting on me, the cook was not wearing his mask. The woman immediately, spoke to him in another language “Pull up your mask up”! The cook pulled up his mask briefly, while the woman turned her back to put curry in a container for me, his mask was now under his nose not covering his nose, under it. He gave a quick smirked.. I did not argue or fuss. At this point I left and went to the local QFC and bought 2 frozen pizzas. The next day I checked my credit card account and noticed they didn’t refund my money. The cashier knew why I didn’t take the food with me. No food and yet they did not refund my money. The lady did apologize at first but then said the man didn’t make OUR food. That was not true since our food was part of what he was making. We use to always order fro here, but...

Pros: prices are resonable, good quantity of sides, quick service and food was served hot in less than 10 minutes. Car parking available in the plaza.

Cons: The problem is with the taste and quality of the food. Food didn’t taste fresh. Everyone felt very uneasy 😳 after eating food. Worst dish was Chole Bhature, it was like a plumpy flat paratha, terrible 😣. Veg Kothu Barotta was horrible. It was served very hot, but it never tasted anything like a Kothu Barotta 👎🏽. Paneer tikka masala dosa- Dosa was thick and fresh. But not sure about the paneer tikka masala, it was literally stuffed inside the dosa and served. I should have ordered a regular dosa instead🤦🏾‍♂️. Masala dosa - no comments. Extremely unhappy ☹️, didn’t expect such poor food looking at the Google ratings 👎🏽. Thursday night dinner. Little to no place for dine in (only two tables, 8 people can sit and eat) Recommended for to go and online ordering. Not sure if the Chef was OOF/vacation or quit,...
