Samburna Indian - Bothell

Eat was delicious here! I was here a few times and every time the curries medhu vada were less on salt; otherwise delicious. I want to get the Samburna special drink next time. loved the freshly made malabar paratha.

Nice delicious restaurant. We craved some Dosa and it was a good choice. They just need to fill the dosa with some more masala. However, we got a nice $1.99 8oz container on a side and wasn’t a bad idea I would say this is one of a great dosa that we had in Bothell area Overall experience is nice and definitely will get dosa again from them

Samburna is a really good south indian restaurant in Bothell. I never heard of this place until a friend of ours recommended this place to us. We stopped by Sunday for a late lunch in a group of 8. We were promptly seated and ordered the following items: Appetizers: Paniyaram (amazing tasted super fresh served with a sauce which wasnt great and the sauce could have been better), Medu Vada (the best crispiest medu vadas I have ever had and loved eating it with the chutney and sambar), Mega Ghee Podi Dosa (delicious huge dosa which can easily be shared by 3 4 folks), Chicken 65 (tasty boneless chicken with spices kinda like chicken popcorns), Chemeen Fry (shrimp in a spicy dry sauce. This was delicious and the shrimp was cooked to perfection and the spices complimented the shrimp very well) Chicken Chukka (this dish lacked seasoning and would have tasted 10 times better if it had a little more salt. This was a common feedback from all of us who had this dish. The spices were great but lack of salt sadly did not bring out all the flavors) Main Course: Melagu Kozhi Curry (chicken curry with amazing spices pepper and red chilli), chicken chettinad samburna goat curry. All the 3 meat curries were delicious, well seasoned, tasted amazing and the meat was cooked to perfection. I really liked the goat curry but seemed liked we got only 2 3 small pieces of meat while the rest was all bones. The chicken curries did have a good amount of chicken though. We devoured the curries with malabar parota (very fresh and tasty) and some steamed rice (served complimentary with the curries). The vegetarian folks ordered an eggplant curry (Gutti Vankaya) and paneer butter masala and both curries tasted great. Dessert: Gulad Jamun (fresh and tasty) Mango kulfi (delicious but a tad too frozen understandably so). Both the desserts had a rose syrup drizzle over them which was I think not required but thats fine Beverages: Madras Filter Coffee (amazing and one of the best filter coffees I have had for a long time), Majjige (buttermilk was good and tasted fresh) Lime Soda (this was bad it was just soda and lemon not lime mixed and served with no salt or sugar or any flavors. Will not order this again) While we loved the food here, there were some dishes that could have been better but nevertheless we enjoyed our meal here. Service was okay one of the servers was really good while the rest did not seem to care much but we got our cood out in a resonably good amount of time. My reasons for reducing a star some meat curries having barely any meat for the price and lack of seasoning in some dishes and not figuring out how to make a simple basic lime soda apart from the not so great service. The majority of the food items we ordered were a hit though. I would recommend this place if in the area.

2.5. Stopped here on the way to the Seattle Premium outlets with the intention to have a quick lunch. Around 2 pm or so on a Sunday it was moderately crowded but we were seated immediately. After we ordered the restaurant forgot about us I think until we asked them 20 30 mins later when we saw folks seated after us get their food. The owner gave us some free rasam and mentioned that he did not forget about us but there is some order. Oh well. Coming to the food we ordered medu vada which was lukewarm but tasted alright. The masala dosa was slightly burnt and not the best. The rasam and sambar were decent. Might try this place again since the owner seemed quite apologetic about our delay but for now not something I would recommend for South Indian food fans.

I'm going to South Indian food in Eastside. I love that delicious and consistent food tried their Gobi65 4/5 spicy fried flowerflower flakes served with a tangie tamarind sauce. It was crispy and delicious. I'm not a fan of orange coloring that they use, but I guess that's how it is traditionally made Rasam 3.5/5 A huge spit It had a good taste of garlic, tomatoes and spices, but it was a really spicy and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who did not use spice Masala Dosa 5/5 crispy dosa with potatoes served with Sambhar lentil soup, red tomatoes and onion Chutney
