We are big fans of Indian food. The food here is excellent. Just the right level of spice. The server was very attentive and welcoming. They also have plenty of gluten free options. The only thing I would suggest is that they offer gluten free pakoras. Most Indian restaurants have these as a GF option.

We ordered kofta curry, naan and samosa chaat. Everything was delicious. Next day we also ordered Vegetable biryani togo which was yummy too. Highly recommend when you are in Portland downtown. Attached pic is for samosa chaat.

We got in second attempt, first time went without reservation so had to Come back. Coming to food , food was very delicious, being vegetarian we tried multiple dishes and all of them were superb. Food presentation and platting was also very good specially Samosa chaat,i have never seen samsa in this shape and platted like this, very tasty, if you really like spicy order for level 4 or 5. Service was very fast and staff was very nice and courteous.Ambience is also very good.

Hi, I had a kinda disappointing experience in this restaurant. The carpets outside were all dusty and the floor has a bit of crumbs in it but they had good staff especially Gowtham to help out with the order. Will definitely comeback for the hospitality and food but the atmosphere had to improve a lot.

My man and I were fiending for some tasty Indian cuisine, so we went here on a cute date. The ambience is inviting and comfy, and the service was good. Cutie-chan got the tikka masala with lamb and I had the makhani with shrimp. Both dishes were so flavorful and the portions were generous at a good price. The mango lassi was absolutely delightful! (He also got garlic naan, but it's not GF so I couldn't try it. He seemed to enjoy it greatly though.) We very much recommend!

We recently had a large gathering 30 people and had an amazing dining experience at this Indian restaurant! The Chicken Kebabs were absolutely delicious—tender, juicy, and perfectly spiced with that irresistible smoky flavor from the grill. You can tell they use quality ingredients and traditional marinades. The Saag Paneer dish was another standout—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The paneer was soft and fresh, and the sauce had just the right balance of spices. It’s a must-try for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. And the Naan? Fluffy, buttery, and served hot—perfect for scooping up every last bit of curry. It was the ideal complement to the meal. We were told that this is their inhouse speciality. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. Whether you're craving classic Indian comfort food or looking to try something new, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!
