This deli is in the building I work in (4th and Blanchard) and I go there a couple times a week for lunch. It's a little bit expensive for what you end up getting, but it's super convenient and the service is great. The women that run it are friendly and always in a good mood. I'm usually in a rush when getting lunch here and they're always reliable. I feel really lucky that such a deli is in my building.
I usually get their chicken teriyaki bowl, which costs about $7. Their BLT, chicken Caesar salad and bagels are also good. I see a lot of people order their signature sandwiches

Authentic experience! Since spending time in India I have been searching for a cashew curry like I experienced, the cashew cream base used in many dishes at Far Eats is as delicious as I remember it in Leh! The rest of the food and drinks were rich and delicious. The service was fantastic! I would consider visiting Seattle again only to eat at this restaurant.

This deli is in the bldg I work in and very convenient for me. I would love to like this place. The staff seem to be very nice.
Today was the second time I've thrown away a meal uneaten. Ordered a chicken pesto grilled panini, got all the way back to my office and found it cold inside. Cold chicken from the fridge on top of unmelted cold cheese.
I know I should have gone back downstairs and had them heat it back up. But, I'm busy and have no time. That's the reason I went to this deli on the first place.
Anyway, probably won't be back.

Went there for lunch buffet. All entree with gravy were watery. Only snacks were okay. My wife noticed a tiny piece of glass in food/dish. Staff was friendly and apologized also gave us a complimentary dessert. Owner came by and apologized as well. Mango cheesecake was delicious. Interior is neat and clean. Food quality could have been better.

Came here on the last day of my trip to Seattle. The owner came up to us and took our order and asked if we had any questions. I've had plenty of Indian food and knew what I wanted and the owner asked how spicy on a scale of 1 - 6, and I love spicy food so I said 6. I was not disappointed it was spicy and tasted fantastic. I haven't had much Indian food in Seattle but this was by far one of the best Indian places I've been to. I would definitely recommend Far Eats.

I ordered a Ruben to test out this Deli as my old favorite down the block closed. They used processed meat and processed white flavorless cheese. And a Ruben should not have cold sauerkraut. I gave it 2 stars because the Ruben did the job of filling me for lunch but I could have ordered a. Baloney sandwich and it would have been just as good.

Came here for lunch, they have a ~$10 lunch buffet which is really reasonably priced (as it should be for the buffet, but most indian spots like to charge minimum $15).
Indian is my favorite food type, so I am really picky. I unfortunately was not impressed by the buffet at all. My co worker's didn't look much better (he ordered off the menu). I am willing to try Far Eats again but it wasn't worth it based on my first experience. Will update if I go again!

In an area surrounded by Tom Douglas restaurants, people have many options to go spend $30 on their lunch if they choose to. There are people like myself that just want an affordable grab n' go so we can get back to work, and a lunch that isn't covered in grease.
I am a fan of this little deli. It's small - run by two sweet ladies. English may not be their first language, but if people don't have the patience or kindness in their hearts to make an effort to communicate... then they are a-holes. (older Yelp reviews) They have been nothing but sweet to me and genuinely concerned

Such a cute name.... Far Eats. The restaurant is immaculate. And what a luxuriant menu. I went vegetarian on my dinner takeout with Cream of Lentil and Eggplant Bombay. Completely delicious. However, all the options seem appetizing. I should go back to try the Lunch Special, which includes a Thalia, to sample other menu items. Friendly atmosphere. Wonderful service.

Far Eats was a wonderful, comfortable place to eat for dinner. The dish that I had, a traditional dish of vegetables in a creamy coconut sauce, was very comforting and delicious. We also had an appetizer of vegetable samosas, which came with two wonderful sauces, and sides of the pesto naan and regular naan, both of which were delicious.
Besides the food, the atmosphere was very nice. The attention to detail in the decor was very impressive and reflected a very professional design touch. I loved the details on the tables and in the large room divider. Our dishes came served to us in cute rustic

Came in this afternoon to meet a friend for lunch. Lots of choices- soups, salads, "pastabilities"... Opted for a sandwich.
3 stars for the following reasons:
- of the 2 guys making the sandwiches behind the counter (with no other customers in sight) neither could figure out that my lunch mate ordered 'no tomato' even though they both made eye contact as the order was placed.
- I ordered a turkey,bacon,avocado on honey wheat with 'the works' (whatever that means as the pre-designated sandwiches are just labeled as that), and was highly disappointed to learn that

First timer - went there and ordered a cheeseburger to go. Was getting grouchy from the wait and being hungry didn't help - but I have to say...that was a very yummy burger; the bun was singed on the outside which I love and the size of it was perfect - not too high, not too wide, just right. Thought I would sneak a bite before going back to work and ended up eating the whole damn thing - gulp! call me Jughead..

Points in favor are: Convenience, reasonable prices for what you get, friendly staff.
Points against: Smells like a school cafeteria, and some of their dishes fall a bit short. For example, when I think of broccoli beef, I expect the broccoli to be cooked along with the beef. Until recently, they've just sprinkled a few small florets of raw broccoli on top.
All in all, this is good enough, especially when the weather is nasty and I don't feel like going outside to get lunch.
To the person who thinks the lobby is freaky: Why is that? I work here and I don't think it's that

Okay I'm a fan of the Cafeteria so maybe I'm a little biased here, but this place keeps surprising me.
But then, last time I went out on a limb and had their blue plate special, which on Tuesdays is Chicken Korma surprisingly.
OMG, best Chicken Korma I've had in a long long long time.
It was mindbendingly good. I couldn't understand how such a good meal was being eaten at a very standard looking deli.
I have to say I'll be going back for that particular meal as long as they'll serve it.

You go in through the freaky lobby of the freaky Darth Vader (4th & Blanchard) Building. That's the thing you have to get past. Then there's the wacky sandwich names. You have to get past ordering a Peter Pig or a Holiday Inn (turkey and cranberry sauce and cream cheese on a croissant, don't fear the sprouts they add a nice crunch - yum yum (have you ever noticed how crunching through sprouts sounds just like a horse crunching through grass?)). But the ladies are so so nice and accommodating and the salad sampler is the best deal in town and the lasagna special will remind you
