Bamboo Kitchen - Redmond

Overall good food though the naan took a really long time before it was ready to go. I I ordered butter chicken at medium spice level and butter naan. The medium spice level is already very spicy for those who don't eat spicy foods often. The rice was surprisingly not dry (I've been to places where the rice is bone dry) which was already a good sign. The butter chicken was great! The chicken was still tender, slightly overcooked but not dry nor chewy. Again, I got medium spice level which I think will be too spicy for non-spice consumers. The butter naan was slightly fluffy and slightly chewy, both hallmarks of great naan. Again, the food was great! Service was generally good. The bad: I ordered online which, after checkout, told me I had a 30-minute wait. When I arrived, I ended up having to wait an additional 30 minutes because their new hire at the naan station couldn't keep up with demand. The good: (1)They were really well-organized. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, all dine-in services were closed but take out remained open and available. As such, apparently Southern Spice gets enough orders that they organized all of their orders according to how they were placed: 2 pick-up tables for online orders, 1 table for grub hub, 1 table for Uber eats, and 1 table for door dash. I found this very impressive. (2) There was a steady stream of customers coming in to place and pickup their orders. That in itself should tell you that the food is good here. Limited parking in front.

Southern Spice serves the best biryani in the area. Their chicken 555 biryani is one of the best biryanis in the Seattle area and their appetizers are also top notch. Definitely one of the best indian restaurants in the Redmond area.

Love the Biryani (Veg 65, Veg 555). Even the curries are really good! I don't know how the non-vegetarian food is but I have heard it is really good! I personally love the place and order from here multiple times every month for sure.

No dine-in. Spicy Andra cuisine. Phone order available, order ahead and pick up. Try the chicku's milk shake. It was nice
