The old location (on University Ave. north of 50th) is being redeveloped, so the family has moved Chili's South Indian Restaurant a few blocks south to 4220 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 (formerly Swagat Palace). The food is still great, and great value. The...More

It's easy to walk by this place without noticing it - I did the first time. Chili's serves Southern Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on vegetarian dishes. The dosas - my partner had the standard vegetarian dosa, I had the Mysore dosa, which is somewhat...More
