Maurya Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Issaquah

A great spot to explore a variety of Indian cuisines — from South Indian staples to hearty biryanis.

Things tried: Idly Sambar, Medu Vada, Rava Dosa

Verdict: The Rava Dosa is the star of their South Indian offerings — crisp, flavorful, and worth the wait. The Idly was soft and fluffy, though I’ve had better elsewhere. The Medu Vada was a bit underwhelming — not because of the taste, but because it wasn’t made fresh and felt reheated. The Sambar was decent, but their Coconut Chutney really stood out — creamy, fresh, and delicious. Be sure to end your meal with their Chai — it’s a must-try.

Service & Ambience: While the dosas take time to prepare, everything else arrives fairly quickly. The ambience is quite basic and nothing to write home about, but it serves the purpose.

Overall: A convenient and reliable go-to spot that won’t disappoint, especially if you’re craving classic Indian...

This was an unexpected surprise. The cafe is simple and the food is delicious. We had the paneer and masala dosas which were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and generously proportioned. We also had the palak paneer which was plentiful and tasty as well. The gobi manchurian was tasty and crispy; not your usual Indian dish so it was a nice surprise to see it on the menu. The masala vada was also very good - crispy and very flavorful. The only disappointment was the sambar which was too bland for our taste but everything else was great.

Seating is comfortable (all booths) and very family friendly. The grocery store was very clean, organized and well-stocked. The produce was really fresh. We’ll gladly take another trip out here to visit the cafe and grocery store! If you’re looking for a casual place to enjoy good Indian food, this is a great option...

I recently visited the Maurya Indian Restaurant for a quick bite, and I must say it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant is conveniently located inside the store, which adds to its accessibility.

We opted for the Chole Bhatura, and it was promptly served to us. The food itself was quite delicious, leaving us satisfied with our choice. The store is impressively organized, offering a wide selection of Indian cuisine, and I particularly appreciated the availability of freshly made South Indian dosas.

I would recommend Maurya Indian Restaurant for a quick bite, especially if you're looking for a flavorful and speedy meal. However, it might not be the ideal choice for those seeking an elaborate dining experience. Overall, a solid option for a...
