Tulsi: Experience Authentic Indian Cuisine in Kittery, ME

Consistent best Indian food ever. Owner takes great pride in his restaurant. Have eaten there since they opened more than15 years ago.

Excellent food, such a nice change from pizza, Chinese, or fast food..... the staff and customer service is amazing and always on point. The atmosphere is warm and cozy it looks like it might be cramped but it actually doesn't feel that way. The cooks definitely know what they're doing and are masters of their craft, amazing food! This place is the definition of a hidden gem 100%! I tried it just within this year for the first time and kicking myself for not trying sooner! You want to try something new have Tulsi tonight!

Everyone was nice and the inside was large and spacious. The food was delicious but a bit sad they didn't have roti :( but the plain naan was fine and the yellow dal was ok (might go with medium spice as the mild had almost no flavor)

In reading a few reviews DH and I decided to go to the great foodie town of Kittery, ME and have dinner at Tulsi on Walker Street. We walked in and were seated right away even though we didn't have a reservation. The dining room was decorated very nicely in traditional Indian decor. DH and I tend to order and share an appetizer and entrée as we don't eat as much as we use to so... Mango Martini $12.00 strong as martinis usually are but very tasty Tributary Pale Ale $8.50... DH likes any kind of beer :) Cauliflower 65 - $9.75 Chicken Tikka Masala - $19.00 chicken breast with creamy sauce very yummy Tulsi green salad - $11.00... very very good lots of cut up vegi's, cheese, walnuts, fruit... really good salad This place has many vegetarian options with the influence of my DS (dear son) I'm choosing a lot less red meat and a lot more vegetables lately! We will definitely return to this restaurant thanks to our server Reese and pleasant conversation with Raj the owner.

This is one of our favorite restaurants! On one out of many visits we've had something not quite excellent but usually it is simply great! We started with the spinach pakora and onion bhaji. The pakora used to be shaped as balls but now are flat and it was actually better. However, the onion bhajis (which I always just love) were just a bit too thick with too much batter to onion ratio. But this is really nitpicking. We also had the pork vindaloo which is good and tasty but I have never understood the concept of a 'mild' vindaloo . I have never even dared order a vindaloo in the UK let alone India since this is supposedly one of the hottest dishes around, so why can it be requested as 'mild-. We ordered 'hot' and I barely broke a sweat. Just doesn't feel quite authentic but guess you have to go by the local -bland- American taste. Wow much rather have them give a warning that when you order a Vindaloo it is - as it should be- #&$^%, HOT Don't misunderstand me - the food here is great and tasty I just feel it's bowing a bit too much to americam tastebuds.

We are frequent fliers here. I'm not terribly adventurous, but I love the Tikka Masala & the Garlic Naan. Today we went for the Sunday Buffet (11:30-2:30) and it was great to try little bits of dishes that I normally wouldn't order. I tried the goat dish & a friend lentil appetizer today and was pleasantly surprised. Service is always great. Staff is super friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is always clean, and comfortable.

Delicious food and great service! Plenty of vegan options as well! My husband and I are becoming regulars here now

Raj is the owner. He is almost always on the floor and stops by to chat with patrons. He is passionate about his food and wants you to leave satisfied. I've learned that some other Indian restaurants sweeten their dishes, or add inauthentic ingredients to appeal to the American palate. Tulsi tries to be as authentic as possible. The quality of ingredients is noticeable. They serve White Heron tea which is delicious.

We've been enjoying the food here at Tulsi for some time now, and happy to report that it is still just as good as we recall now that we've had a chance to return for in house dining. Takeout was also very good last winter. You should know that they are very short staffed and have posted signage accordingly and out waitress advised when we arrived. That said, we noticed no issues with food coming out from the kitchen, or from our waitress. We enjoyed the fried cauliflower, however it did seem a bit spicier/hotter than I recall on previous visits. Chicken tikka masala is one of our favorites here with buttery tender chicken and a delicious sauce, perfect to wipe up with Naan. Cocktails are very tasty here as well. The menu has not changed much, if at all over the years, but there is still plenty to explore.
