Dany JollyDecember 31, 2016I have never eaten anywhere like it. The menu options sound weird but served together they are so delicious. Perfect fun tastes and perfect accompaniments to the main course. Loved it!
Serious EatsMay 14, 2014The full thali menu can be a bit of a commitment, but excellent snacks are available from the bar menu, and the desserts are not to be missed.
Kaushik ShankarOctober 8, 2016Great place to hang out with close friends. Reserve if you have a group as tables waits can be ~45mins! Marked Indian but the food is Americanized with Indian undertones; still great!
EaterOctober 4, 2011Jerry Traunfeld continues to wow by applying his deep experience in local, seasonal cooking to the Indian thali format for small tastes, w/ plenty of global influences along the way. [Eater 38 Member]
I looooove Poppy. Dinner is a taste sensation. Cocktails are the best in town, but save room for dessert. Sweet Thali for two! Nutter butters are amazing.
Mouni ReddyNovember 22, 2015Nice cocktails and the most unique take on food in Seattle. Interesting and bold flavors in everything.
Aaron WheelerJuly 21, 2017Delicious fusion dishes with solid vegetarian options and a great wine selection. Love the cheaper fixed price options!
Richard SpragueAugust 24, 2017If it's nice weather, ask for a table in the garden. Be sure to rub your fingers on the plants.
Maram AlRashedMarch 30, 2017Hmm almost twisted indian food and flavors too! Not bad and they change their menu regularly! Neighborhood is a good place to have a nice walk.
Eleonora ZorziJuly 14, 2015Incredible food, delightful ambiance, great service. Pick a daily thali and enjoy yourself.
- Aaron WheelerMarch 18, 2018You have got to try the cocktails - best drinks I ever had! Great for vegans and vegetarians as well
Leah HemmerOctober 22, 2014The lemon gardenia ice cream with pistachio brittle was our favorite part of our two meals. It tastes like Trix cereal for adults!
Eric 黄先魁 HwangJuly 29, 2012Try the 10 Item Thali - Neah Bay King Salmon with Seabeans, bacon and Pinot noir fennel sauce, lavender-rubbed moulard duck breast with rhubarb and black currants.- Tara CicoraJanuary 25, 2016A bit pricey so save in advance. Incredible food and PLEASE try the sea salt & honey eggplant fries. They are to DIE for!
FoodSherpas.comAugust 26, 2011A merger of Northwest ingredients in the "thali" style. Thali is essentially tapas that are served together on a platter. Poppy is a great place to try a new take on happy hour food.
Alex JOctober 1, 2015Tried the black cod thali. It could have been seasoned more. The best thing on this was the naan. That was really good.
Rich TongJune 27, 2013Try the Octopus Thali - Long wait. But delicious. Alaskan octopus is so tender and the lamb sausage an interesting combo.
cynthia wangSeptember 8, 2013The Thalis are amazing. And three for four people is more than enough. Indian/American fusion. Delicious!
Kalani GregoireAugust 1, 2010I have to agree with everyone. The eggplant fries with honey are killer. Make sure to save room for dessert and check out the garden in the back if you get the chance.
Shannon AdamsFebruary 18, 2014Don't fill up too much on the starters - Thalis are delicious and substantial. Cocktails are completely worth it.
Seattle MetJune 30, 2010Owner and chef Jerry Traunfeld once ran the region’s most venerated culinary destination; that bastion of nine-course, straight-from-the-garden meals. And he is, at the moment, the best chef in Seattl Read more
Wandering BaileyAugust 25, 2014Love the presentation of their dishes. Eggplant / aubergine fries are fab.
The Seattle TimesMay 14, 2010Chef Traunfeld's riff on Indian food and cooking methods, complete with edible flowers. His happy hour doesn't stray. Even the cocktails have herbs grown from the garden out back. 5-7 9-11 T-Th & Sun Read more
Block Party (gin, cucumber, rose water, lemon and mint) is perfect for summer.
Yiling WongMarch 28, 2016Nice non-alcoholic drink options too, impeccable service without pretension.- They serve thalis, but it's not Indian! Delicious NW food, inspired by fresh herbs.
Deanna CorrieAugust 21, 2013Wow yummy. Tried a little bit of everything. Liked it all except the soups.
Try a thali for two. Save room for a dessert thali!- The eggplant fries are drizzled with honey & delicious! The happy hour Thali is an awesome deal & the Bar has a great whiskey selection too!
Oh dear! The tuna remoulade has changed: the original w/ tuna mixed in kicked ass. The new version? Not so much...Poppy, please go back to the original!
Valentina VitolsAugust 13, 2012Try the Nutter Butters - One of Seattle's best sweets in Seattle, shared with @bridgeburgrbeer!
The blueberry pound cake with anise and hyssop ice cream is wonderful!
- Dan HOctober 19, 2012Get the popcorn sorbet off the restaurant week menu. It's confusing and delicious.
KirillSeptember 30, 2016Meh. Food is extremely sweet and salty, at the same time. Each bite in itself is very tasty, but having multiple dishes that all clash in flavor ends up just leaving a weird after taste.
