Food isn’t fresh. Being Indian I can tell the quality. Chickpeas were used were canned. Palak (spinach) paneer. Spinach was pre made like made & frozen & then heated & served. Rice quality could be better. Basmati was low quality. Chicken wasn’t moist at all.

The food is the most authentic, genuine Indian food I've had in the area, maybe in Washington State. The only reason the service is 3 stars is because it is just the owners and sometimes orders can be a bit slow, but they are an incredibly kind older couple and it has been just the two of them for years.

We have been patrons of the India Grill since 1999. After our experience yesterday however, we will not be giving them our business again. I ordered Butter Chicken, a dish I have ordered from them dozens of times. What I received last night was some pureed mush that appeared to be a thick soup. Not one cube of chicken was in the dish. When I phoned them, they did not address the mush but just said in an angry way that I should bring it back and he'd put more chicken in it. No explanation was given about the atrocious dish. I paid a lot for a container of mushy sauce.

Tried their Farmer's Market stand and was really disappointed. The butter chicken was really bland with sauce more watery than creamy. Adding the hot sauce on the counter made the dish spicy but in a flavorless way. The quarter piece of naan was hard and didn't mop any sauce. The side salad was just a few strips of lettuce. On the bright side there was a decent amount of chicken and it was tender. The lamb samosa was likewise bland, and didn't carry any lamb flavor. The service was nothing to be excited about. As much as I love Indian food, I would not come again.

The selection at this East Indian buffet is above normal. There were all the usual with a fish dish and a couple more vegetarian dishes. There was a nice mango custard and the rice pudding was very satisfying. They are worth a try.

I always look forward to visiting the India Grill fam at the Bellingham Farmer’s Markets on Saturdays! Great food and lovely folks ❤️ the veggies samosas and veggie combo platter are my favorites! Very vegetarian friendly ?

I haven't been here in a long time, but the naan, tandoori, and lamb vindaloo were spot on . It's wheelchair accessible as well. My Hindi friends still recommend it.

This is literally the worst indian restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. The only spice in their spice rack is salt. In addition everything was pre-cooked in advance and reheated upon ordering. If you've ever had leftover Aloo Gobi before you know it turns into a puddle of mush when reheated. Well, that's how they serve it to you "fresh"Absolute garbage. Never again.

Stopped by their farmers market station. Tried the butter chicken combo plate. It was super, super bland. The side spinach was just a pile of baby spinach. I like spinach (even plain spinach), but it doesn't pair well with butter chicken (even bland butter chicken). The basmati rice was watery and not fragrant. Giving a second star because there was a decent amount of chicken and the workers were very friendly.
I ordered the tandoori chicken tikka and it was on point. The chicken was tender and easy to chew. I also had the garlic naan and it was delicious!

NOTE: Photos are how it arrived from DoorDash not necessarily the restaurants fault. That being said - the lids on their styrofoam containers break very easily.Pros: good foodCons: I don't know if it was the restaurant or DoorDash but half my order was missing. I only noticed the soda missing at first because I was dealing with the swimming mess of my food so DoorDash only credited for the soda and refunded for the dish that became a pool.Next time I will order pick up.Four stars because I am assuming the catastrophe that was this order was a combination of DoorDash and normal human error (things happen) and I am not going to dock them for the poor way that DoorDash is handling things.I did take one star though because the takeout containers are terrible and I'm sure were a huge contribution to the mess that could have been avoided.

I tried a veggie samosa at their market stand today. It was the first samosa I ever tried. It's been hours and I'm still thinking about it.

The Butter Chicken was great.

I have eaten here many times over the years, and it is delicious every single time. The butter chicken is my favorite, though every time I try something else it’s amazing too. The garlic naan is so tasty and always fresh, and I just really enjoy the complex flavors to all their dishes. The owners are incredibly nice, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend it!
