BOTHELL, Wash. — Tucked away in a Bothell strip mall you'll find one of the most vibrant restaurants in Western Washington.
Fusion India blends the films of Bollywood with the flavors of Mumbai – and just like the movies, you're guaranteed a show.
"We are not just a restaurant but we are also an experience," said co-owner Suhani Nagpal. "From childhood I was always passionate about Bollywood and I also loved food."
Each dish is named after a Bollywood movie and comes with its own unique presentation. One example of that is The Burning Train. The appetizer is named after a 1980 film. The chicken drumsticks are delivered on model train and then set on fire!
Another highlight includes the Vada Pav which is a street food known as the Mumbai burger. Instead of beef a deep dried potato patty sandwiched between a small roll. But the most popular dish at Fusion India is the chai and samosa combo. It's served on a cart, and thanks to social media, helped put the restaurant on the map.
"Our commitment was to present unique dishes with keeping the authentic flavors of Mumbai," Nagpal said.
The drinks are just as colorful and theatrical. Many of the cocktails come in fun glassware and are finished with dry ice.
The owners want Fusion India to be a place you come to celebrate whether it's a birthday, anniversary or family outing. The servers put on a show from beginning to end. And if you visit on Saturday night, make sure to wear your dancing shoes. The music is turned up and the staff lead diners in a Bollywood dance session.
Fusion India is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. It's located at 18001 Bothell Everett Hwy #125 in Bothell.
