    Top of India used to be a good restaurant that we really enjoyed. They have steadily been going downhill over the last couple of years and we stopped going there or ordering takeout several months ago. We decided to give them another try tonight. Big mistake. I called in an order and was told it would be 30 to 35 minutes . My husband went to pick it up and was told it would be a half an hour. This is 15 minutes after I called. The woman lied to him and told him I was told 40 to 45 minutes. No apologies, no anything. Never again.

    Loved the food here! Portions are small and the building is small, but the flavors are large! There is also a large portion of the menu for vegetarian/vegan dishes. I wouldn't recommend this for large groups. The seating area is clean and up-to-date. The bathrooms could be kept up better but for the most part they are clean. The service is great and they have nice baby high chairs.

    Another underrated place. We come here semi frequently and the food is always fresh and crispy and hot. The service is amazing. We had the gobi and lamb samosa for apps and for our meals we had butter chicken and the garlic cheese naan and the Tika pizza and it was soooo good. Never a disappointment!

    Phenomenal food, didn't want to stop eating until we were over stuffed, we ordered the Dahl, the Vendaloo, 2 roti, and lasuni aloo. The atmosphere was very nice as well.

    Upon entering you notice the decor is fresh and ambiance is nice. It’s a good place to go with family. Keeping in mind it’s an Indian restaurant they have 5 spice levels which are fairly accurate. We ordered variety of dishes in different spice levels. Everything we ordered was delicious. Only thing we didn’t love was one of the deserts, the staff was very professional about it and offered to replace it which we didn’t want and they refunded it. Staff was nice and courteous and we got our meal in good time. We will be going again to try different items on the menu. Definitely recommend.

    Top of India is my first choice when it comes to choosing where to eat for my birthday. They have excellent vegetarian and vegan food options. It is one of the best restaurants in town. We enjoy eating in and also ordering online for takeout.

    Small restaurant with BIG flavor! We were so blown away by the food and enjoyed thoroughly. The restaurant itself has a pleasant modern interior with full bar. We tried a variety of selections (samosas, cheese Naan, tandoori, biryani, coconut curry) and were so entirely pleased with everything we ordered. Love, love, LOVE the food! We will be back so we can try more! Maybe next time we will remember to leave room for dessert. The food was so good, we could not stop eating.

  • 1/5 Utsav S. 1 year ago on Google
    The description of food and taste is extremely disingenuous. The daal mahkani is not a daal Mahkani, does not have the consistency of one and is just a simple urad daal with big chunks of onion. The daal tadka is not a daal tadka it’s a moong daal with chunks of onion with a watery consistency. The appetizer was fine, the naan (breads) are not tandoor at all. Food was not seasoned well and the restaurant does not match Indian taste at all. It is a blatant mockery of Indian food and I recommend anyone who wants authentic food to take their business anywhere else. You can look up pictures of daal makhani and daal tadka and compare it with what you see on the internet and the difference is night and day. The name of the restaurant “Top of India” is a lie; it is not even of india or it’s the worst that india can provide. I have attached the food below. I urge everyone trying to seek a true authentic Indian experience to avoid this restaurant entirely.

    Very Delicious. I had a lamb tiki Masada. They ask you what spice level you would prefer so you can get just the amount if heat your looking for. Very clean venue. I'm impressed

    Such delicious food and attentive staff. Really nice atmosphere. Fun drinks too, we had lavendar lemonade and a creamy strawberry soda. My 10 year old has been asking to go try some food at a "fancy" restaurant and this was a double thumbs up for a mom/daughter date. We love eating here and feel like they really care about us and remember us. Definitely a great spot with great food!

    I have never had Indian food with the pureed texture they serve. Maybe they adapted tastes for American palette. It did not taste authentic like I have enjoyed at many other restaurants.

    The food was exquisite. The flavors were complex and balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. The service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting.

  • 1/5 Prasanna C. 10 months ago on Google
    Way too pricy for frozen meat they give. Most meats they gave are frozen and had lots of color agents. Veg items tasted fine but their meats are frozen and had lots of color. Not good for health. Avoid this place if you see it on map or no road.

    This place stands out among other Spokane Valley restaurants. My recent visit was a significant improvement over past experiences in the area. The staff was fantastic, and the food was exceptional. I'll definitely return next time I'm in Spokane.

  • 5/5 Sheila B. 1 year ago on Google
    They are always friendly and kind. I don't know what I am doing with most Indian cuisine yet. I've only had it 5-6 times. Every time I order, I get something different. It has all been very delicious. Rich in flavor and spices. My palette enjoys the complex flavors and cumin/coriander. If you have rowdy kids or your group is loud, maybe pass for another night. It is a nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Not really meant for kids.

  • 5/5 Brian C. 6 months ago on Google
    This local Spokane Valley restaurant offers authentic Indian cuisine that's a hit with both locals and visitors from India. The fresh naan, chicken curry, and other dishes are irresistible. Their daily buffet is a great value and a favorite of ours.

  • 2/5 Stevan V. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite restaurant, but it has gone downhill. The inside is falling apart, the tables and seating areas haven’t been cleaned or disinfected for what looks like forever, so much so my clothes were sticking to the seat and the backrest. Food is delicious as always, but service and cleanliness doesn’t exist. Combine that with the thermostat being set to 79 degrees and you’ve got a wonderful recipe for a bad experience.

    Beware. This restaurant owner will not honor their coupon that I bought from KHQ. Bought on Friday special. She claimed to be too busy to see me. I was willing to wait. She came to our table fairly quickly (less than 5 minutes). In spite of coupon specifically stating "never expires" was told it was too old. She couldn't trust the $25 coupon and implied that we were dishonest. Came for my birthday. Felt ripped off, embarrassed, and sure put a damper on my day.

    One of my absolute favorite places to get delicious vegan food. Highly recommend. Their staff is Incredibly kind, patient, and diligent. Very cute table arrangements at atmosphere.

    Today got delivered it took about an hour. However product was yummy and fresh ordered tandoori chicken and butter chicken with garlic naan.

  • 4/5 Madison G. 2 years ago on Google
    4.5 Delicious dining experience, (I recommend the french creme!) I am a HUGE fan of Indian food and the mango tree did not cut it for me when I first moved here from Seattle area, but Top of India (as well as Authentic Indian Cuisine in Post Falls) is a must go to when craving authentic Indian food. I recommend spice level of 3 or 4 ☺️ if you order raita I add that to it to cool it down for my daughter 😉 I know there's not much to do about this but it'd be a five star if I wasn't paying close to 20 dollars a plate 🥲

  • 4/5 Sridutt M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good ambience and true spice levels as someone else mentioned in their reviews (true Indian spice level). Abundant parking space. I must say the quantity they serve is less, so you won't end up overeating. We ordered chicken biryani, chicken chilli and chicken tikka (appetizer). All was good except chicken in chilli chicken was probably stale or over cooked (so they lost 1 star here). But a definite place to try again!

  • 3/5 Mollie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Our server was fabulous & the new (to me) decor is sleek & modern. My friend, new to Indian food, enjoyed her Tandoori Mixed Grill, but it was nothing close to what I expected. I ordered the Butter Chicken with two ⭐⭐ because my friend isn't a fan of curry or spice. She liked it well enough; I would have preferred a bit more heat. It didn't seem spicy at all.

  • 1/5 Shuga G. 2 years ago on Google
    I was really looking forward to this meal after reading other reviews and wish I could rate higher. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet my expectations. I could only manage to stomach a couple bites. There was practically zero flavor in my entire meal. The chicken in my butter chicken felt undercooked and rubbery, the sauce was bland and my garlic naan was burnt and plain. The take away packaging was great and the service was wonderful, so I really do wish I had enjoyed my meal, but the food was a major disappointment. I was really looking forward to trying a new spot but this was missing all of the spice and flavor I love about Indian cuisine.

  • 5/5 Jaclyn K. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious! Some of the best local Indian food I have tried, the mild plus is a perfect cozy warm spice! If you like a medium salsa this is a good heat! All of the food is amazing! 10/10 would go back! Lots of vegetarian options!

    I visited this restaurant first in 2018 October part of my cross country drive in Spokane. It was Friday and they were packed. I was alone so I ordered and felt super happy after my dinner so I got another few items to go. So, I got a chance to visit this place again during our Christmas vacation last week (2021) nearby and I took my family including my 2 kids including a toddler. The overall experience drastically came down.The items we ordered weren't really tasty or made us wow. I got the same response from my family members too. There was only one person taking orders and serving too. A few families were there and not very busy may be due to a weekday. I don't know what happened to this restaurant, but my 5 star experience came down to 3. It's just okay if you don't have options around or what you are looking is unavailable.

  • 5/5 Chris R. 2 years ago on Google
    So good. For real good. Most places like this make white person versions food, half the flavor and spice. It is so saddening. This, I took a bit and began to tear up for two reasons. My expectations were met, and my sinuses were under assault. This is good Indian food. I cannot wait to spend more money here.
