    We went with a large group for the lunch buffet. The dishes were tasty and I especially loved the dosa station, where a friendly employee was making them fresh. He made sure I got one hot off the grill, instead of one that was already made. The selection was plentiful, including the vegetarian options. They also had this insanely delicious rum pudding that I went back for on round two. My only complaints were that the vegetarian options were not marked, so unless you're already familiar with the dishes or ask an employee you wouldn't know what is safe to eat. Also, while I loved the flavor of the ice cream, it was super freezer burnt. These are easy fixes that I hope will be made when we visit next time.

    We visited Biryani Corner, and after checking out quite a few buffet places around town, I can confidently say--this one stands out. What truly amazed me (and is incredibly rare to find) was the Bombidayallu Fry--small fried fish, perfectly seasoned and crisped. Having this dish in a buffet? That's almost unheard of. For anyone from Andhra or a Telugu-speaking background, you know exactly how special that dish is. Just that alone is worth the visit. The overall food quality is excellent. While they don't serve a 50-item spread like some places, what they do offer (around 12 items) is well-crafted and genuinely tasty. Every dish hits the mark. As food reviewers, my friend and I put their biryanis to the test--Veg Biryani, Chicken Dum Biryani, Paneer Pulao, and Chicken Pulao--and each one had its own distinct flavor. That's impressive, considering most buffets just recycle the same base. Here, each had its own identity. Room for improvement? Yes--the dessert section could use a bit more variety and finesse. And honestly, the tea was a miss. But those are small things compared to the overall experience. For the flavor, authenticity, and that unforgettable fish fry--this place is a must-try. Especially if you love Telugu food, or want to experience it at its best.

    Stumbled upon this place during my recent trip to Portland and boy was I wowed. When we walked in we were greeted with flavorful aromas of indian spices. We were promptly seated and ordered their fish fry, mutton sukka, chicken lolipop and mutton biryani. Everything we ordered was mind blowingly flavorful and delicious. Food tasted fresh and the flavors were spot on. We also ordered their masala chai which was divine! Service was great, ample parking in front of the restaurant and the prices here are very reasonable for their portion sizes. All in all highly recommend this place and I will stop by this place without a doubt to get my Indian food fix when in Portland.

    Definitely one of the best weekend Indian buffets And this one was a special for Diwali If you haven't had crab masala, you're missing out The other notable dishes, where a homestyle, good curry - tasty as all, garlic, Parmesan chicken was just delicious Get this buffet a go on weekdays or weekends and come with an appetite

    We came here on a Saturday lunch time and they had a weekend buffet, which was nice post COVID so we can try lots of things. The curries are flavorful, with some like the shrimp curry properly spicy. I had to pause a few times to let my tongue have a bit of warm down. Plenty of meat and veggie options. There is a made to order dosa station that gave you hot off the griddle crispy dosa. It was a great alternative to the nan. The desserts were decent with me addicted to their bread pudding with a nicely charred sugar top. I'm glad we came, and plan to be back.

    This is legit authentic and delicious Indian food. It is easily the best Indian restaurant I've…read moretried in recent years. The location and atmosphere is nothing special, but that isn't why you come here. Both times I've gone it's been busy, but we were able to get seated right away. The paneer makhani curry is delectable. It's rich, sweet, spicy, creamy, and has a great depth of flavor and spices. The shrimp biryani was the standout dish for me that I still keep thinking about. The rice was aromatic and cooked perfectly, while the shrimp was robust, bright, and very spicy. I would recommend ordering a spice level down from what you would normally get.The mini samosas were packed with flavor and I loved all onions in them. The garlic naan was also solid. All around incredible food!

    I was genuinely excited to re-order from this place after a wonderful first experience with their…read moreMughlai dishes. Unfortunately, my second order via DoorDash missed the mark in two significant ways: 1) Spice level not honored: I ordered butter chicken and Mughlai paneer and selected "mild", specifically because my 5-year-old was going to eat with me. What arrived was unbearably hot, even for an adult used to spicy Indian food. I double-checked my receipt and the mild selection was clearly there. Neither dish was edible for my child, and I could barely get through it myself. What's especially frustrating is that my first order at mild spice came out perfectly mild. Dishes like butter chicken and Mughlai korma-style preparations are traditionally on the gentler end of the heat spectrum. It would be great if the restaurant could maintain consistency in honoring spice level selections, as it makes a difference for the person eating it. 2) No rice with the main course: In every Indian restaurant I've visited globally, a main entree comes with a side of rice as standard. I didn't select "extra rice" on DoorDash assuming this was a given, and added only a garlic naan. What arrived was two entrees and a very small portion of naan (two thin slices, really enough for one person), and no rice at all. A heads-up on the menu or at checkout that rice is not included would go a long way. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, because the food itself is very tasty!

It was empty on a Tuesday around lunch time but we were greeted warmly by who I assumed were the owners. The decor is fun, vibrant, and colorful in the small space. They are also popular with takeout and delivery. I actually really enjoyed my Lamb Vindaloo Tacos! The lamb was tender and it did have a good amount of spice. My friend and I both thought the Dirty Chicken Masala Fries and her regular Chicken Tikka Masala could have had more flavor. BUT with that said, my leftovers tasted better the next day! It really is a local mom and pop spot with such a cool concept and the food was good! I look forward to coming back on another day to try something different!

Vanakkam brought an absolute feast down from Portland to Eugene for our wedding. They not only transported a huge buffet, but also did live dose (dosa) and even added a live appetizer station last minute, fearing that the appetizers would be soggy.

Our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. People are still raving about it. We had many guests from India who were thrilled as well. Ganesh at Vanakkam was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. So responsive, kind and understanding, and his staff worked incredibly hard. It honestly blew us away. You should hire Vanakkam for your special event. 5 stars is not enough. 20 maybe. (This event just happened, but I'll update this review with mouthwatering pictures as soon as I have some...)

This restaurant, located in a strip mall area, doesn't really seat that many people, but for less than $16, you can experience a really amazing lunch buffet option here. Seriously, for the price of your average food cart entree these days, you can have an all-you-can-eat, high-quality, high-variety lunch. And this restaurant doesn't just churn out the basic stuff, either. You might get a bhindi masala, or goat biryani, along with some of the more typical plates like butter chicken. They mix it up, which is the sign of a great buffet. Honestly, they do something truly special with their tandoori chicken. I'm normally pretty lukewarm on that entree, but Vanakkam's version is a really sensational one. Samosas, Naan, Raita, etc. all available too. I hope they can keep this going at this price, and if so, we'll soon be a regular, no doubt!

    The moment I walked in to Apna Chat Bhavan, the smell transported me back to the days when my…read morehusband and I lived in India. I read somewhere that this little Indian eatery is the most Indian of Indian restaurants in Portland. That made me eager to try it. The space is half restaurant, where you walk up to the counter to order, and half Indian grocery. In between they have a large case with chat (snacks) and sweets (every kind of Indian sweet you can imagine) as well as fancy looking slices of cakes and pastries. This isn't your average Indian restaurant with sitar music, fancy decor and high prices. This is where to go with a family, or a casual meal with great prices and generous portions. Food is served on paper plates on plastic trays and you bus your own table. The first thing we had while waiting for our food was mango lassi. Wow! I've consumed (and made at home) many of those but these were some of the best! Perfect amount of mango and the consistency was great! Loved it! My husband was starving so he chose a bun filled with chicken from the case. It was tasty. I don't know what it's called. I wanted a masala dosa though. They have quite a few kinds on the menu. Working and traveling in India I never came across so many kinds. I opted for a Mysore Masala Dosa. The helpful woman behind the counter explained they have more flavorful spices added to this kind of dosa. My husband ordered the goat korma, which was on a little daily special sign on the counter. My dosa came out fairly quickly. I don't think I've ever had a larger one! See my photo! There was ample potato filling inside as well. Soft and delicious with onion, peas & carrots, like it's supposed to. The Mysore spice was ok but just heavily sprinkled on inside the dosa which made it a little dry. Sambar always comes with dosas-a beautiful tasting soup. I wished they were more generous with that. They only gave me a tiny cupful. Green & red chutneys came with it too. They were fine but not that amazing. My husband's goat curry took a long time to arrive! I was halfway or more through my giant dosa before it was finally ready. I didn't try it and also forgot to take a photo. Sorry. He said it was flavorful and the meat was tender. As in most traditional Indian goat curries, there were small bits of bone and also some significant pieces of fat. But the portion was generous and lots of rice came alongside it too. He took some of both home. We were too full for sweets, but I did a little shopping in the store after. Here's a little tip for you: Don't buy spices (of most kinds) at the supermarket. Buy them at an Indian store-they are always a great deal. I bought whole peppercorns for my pepper mill for a great price (Sorry Penzy's) and some others. But I felt like I struck it rich finding mango Shrikand in the freezer case! Woohoo! We used to eat that at a restaurant when we lived in Pune, India. We took it home with us. I had to knock off a star because our food wasn't ready at the same time. Bummer. I'd give it 4 1/2 if I could. I can see where some would mark them down because it isn't fancy, but this little place made me happy and I want to go back for more.
