House of Chettinad in Seattle is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic South Indian Chettinad cuisine. Located in the heart of Capitol Hill at 1525 13th Ave, this small yet vibrant spot offers a rich and flavorful dive into the culinary traditions of Tamil Nadu.

The menu is a beautiful exploration of Chettinad flavors—known for its bold, spicy, and aromatic dishes. One standout is the Chettinad Chicken Curry, a must-try. It’s rich, spicy, and has a deep, complex flavor from the roasted spices that really shines through. The Fish Curry is another winner, with tender fish simmered in a flavorful, tangy gravy.

For vegetarians, the Vegetable Biryani is another flavorful option, perfectly spiced and complemented by a subtle sweetness.

I recently ordered from Dakshina Kitchen and was absolutely impressed! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish had its own unique taste and was cooked with so much care that it really stood out compared to other places I’ve tried. You can tell they put thought into what they serve, and it made the whole meal feel special.

The delivery experience was just as great and the order arrived on time, everything was well-packaged, and the food was still hot and ready to enjoy. That kind of reliability adds so much value, especially when you’re ordering for a group or on a tight schedule.

I placed a catering order for a gathering of 20 people (12 adults and 8 kids), and I couldn’t be happier with the food and service.

We ordered: • Appetizers: Gobi 65 Madras style & Karampodi Chicken (half trays each) • Curries: Paneer Butter Masala & House Chicken Curry (half trays each) • Biryani: Jackfruit Biryani (half tray) & Thalapakattu Goat Biryani (full tray)

The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was packed with flavor and perfectly spiced. The appetizers were crispy and fresh, and the curries were rich and creamy, pairing perfectly with the house made chapaties. The Jackfruit Biryani was unique and a hit among the vegetarians, while the Thalapakattu Goat Biryani stood out as the crowd favorite.

Despite ordering for 20 people, we only had some curry leftover; the rest of the trays were completely wiped out, which speaks volumes about the quality and taste. The portion sizes were generous, especially for the biryanis, and everything was fresh and well-prepared.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely order from here again for future gatherings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for flavorful,...
