Nirmal's

Top choice in Pioneer Square, International District & SoDo


In a short period of time Nirmal's has established itself as Seattle's premier Indian fine-dining experience. The menu is a good balance of recognizable curry and tandoori dishes, as well as treats only familiar to those who have been to the subcontinent and exciting fusion plates that nod to its PNW locale (we're looking at you Dungeness crab curry).
