have never been treated so rudely – I had heard that the food here is really good so I called to arrange catering for an event and was _completely_ shocked by how rude the employee was to me. I have arranged catering for several events and have NEVER had such a negative experience. The host who I spoke to on the phone was confrontational, insulting, rude, condescending, and downright obnoxious. I have to say the experience was rather surreal as his reaction was absolutely unwarranted and seem to come out of nowhere. I was so... read more

Watch out--BAD service! – My friends and I went on a Saturday night, and understandably, it was a busy night. However, every single person we encountered was completely rude and acted as if we were a huge burden! The waitresses/hostesses barely acknowledged us, we waited 45 minutes for a table, 30 minutes for our food, and we were lucky if any of the staff even walked by our table with water! The only people who ever came (after we received the food) tried to take our plates before we were even done eating! They didn't even ... read more

Rushed – I've read several reviews of this restaurant, so I thought I'd go there and try it out for myself. I have to say that I agree with those that felt rushed when they were eating. And yes, the food may have been okay, but I felt pressured to get out of there. They were grossly overstaffed and it actually got downright annoying when they would fill my water glass after every sip. So, I agree that if you like a waiter coming to your table every 30 seconds, then by all means, eat here. It all depends on what you consider ... read more

Best Indian in Seattle – Most of the reviewers here are fairly correct in their assesment of this restaurant, though here's the problem: What one sees as "bad" service others see as good. Here's the bottom line: if you want pretty much the best Indian food in Seattle (I've eaten at serveral, and usually default to this one, since it's the best quality and price) and it's fast. If you want a good, quick meal this is it. Please keep in mind, yes, the waiters hover and may try to restle away your plate before you're quite done,... read more

Amazing Food and Service! – I have never recieved better service in this entire city!!! My sister and I sat outside last night under one of the heaters. The staff always kept all our drinks full - which is amazing since we drink about a gallon of fluids (6 different glasses) btwn us 2. We liked that each waitperson had their own speciality to check us: the order guy, the drink guy, the food from the kitchen girl, etc. It really felt like a team effort and always made sure everything was fine and good. Maybe I am just used to... read more

Ruined by awful service – Cedars' take on Indian and Mediterranean food is excellent, but the service absolutely ruined the experience for me, my wife, and my mother. The man who took our order (not waitstaff, perhaps the owner's son) was rude and dismissive of our questions. The food came in no time, which was good, but before we were even done they were trying to clear the plates and wiping down the table with a nasty bleach-soaked sponge. I understand the need to turn tables, but pushing customers out before they're even ... read more

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD!!! – I was shocked at first to see that Cedars doesn't head up the overall category (9.2 out of 10.0?), but then noticed that it DOES head up the specialty "Indian Food" category (10 out of 10). Having read the reviews, I understand why: many have complained about the unconventional service there and claim to have been rushed. I have never felt rushed at Cedars. I've probably been there 20+ times. I've also eaten Indian food all over the states---all over the world in fact. Cedars is hands-down some of t... read more

Best Indian food in Seattle – The best Indian food in Seattle and amongst the best Ive had in the States. The selection is large and the flavors come through well. Be picky about your beers though. Kingfisher and London Pilsner are great Indian beers.

We all can agree on the food, but the service seems to be an aquired taste. I disliked it at first, but after a couple repeat visits I began to find it enjoyable, because everything is full and the tables are kept clean. The waitstaff might not blend in to the backround, but they are helpful. Which is surprising after I found out that they dont recieve any tips. They must be paid in curry or something because that doesnt keep them from working hard, even if sometimes its a little too hard. Also the parking is aweful
