I ordered Butter Chicken, Veggie Samosas (it comes w/2 and white rice, and Garlic Naan (I ordered 2). I had been craving Indian Food and, I had been reading reviews for an hour last night . I wanted a sit down Indian restaurant but, I decided today I would rather enjoy it in the comfort of my home! When I tell you that everything it was so flavorful and piping hot after a 25 minute drive home (yummmm)!!! Service~The owner and cook was super nice and very polite! You receive a beeper (that lights up and vibrates) after 15-20 mins your order is ready to go! I asked for mild when I pick up my order he said "ok extra spicy butter chicken" I looked but, it was totally mild! Ambiance~It's in a residential neighborhood so be prepared to hit a few blocks to find parking. But, luckily I came back up the street and, got right in the front of the food cart! It's a covered seating area if you do decide you want to enjoy your meal there. I waited in my car it's a very busy area but, the vibe it's just right (plenty of shops and, other restaurants). I would highly recommend you try Shera Indian Food Cart I cannot wait to go again I want to try everything on the menu!!!

Absolutely excellent!…read more Tucked away just off the busy 42nd intersection. Nice, small indoor area for ordering, but their covered and heated area is great for dine-in, year-round. Very cozy and the gentleman at the front is so helpful and knowledgeable. Food is fantastic, got the lamb/goat vindaloo, bread, veggie samosas and sauces. Plenty for two people to share. Vindaloo is so flavorful and complex, and if ordering, regular spicy is hot! So go medium, if not used to it, but so good! The sauces are exceptional, especially the mint. Samosas are hot and crisp, with a dusting of masala. Well priced and great portions. A great addition to the area.

I placed an online…read moreto-go order (just a heads-up, they only accept online orders for takeout, no call-ins), and my food was ready in about 15 minutes, which was impressively fast. I ordered the chicken kati roll, a tikka bowl, and lemonade. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The kati roll was especially perfect well-seasoned, nicely wrapped, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The tikka bowl was also really good, with great balance of spices and textures. Even though I ordered to go, I couldn't help but notice how stunning the interior is. Honestly, I've rarely seen such a beautifully designed and spacious Indian restaurant. It's a perfect blend of modern style and authentic Indian décor, which gives it a unique and welcoming vibe. The place was spotless, and the staff were very friendly and helpful from start to finish. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, and the overall experience makes it worth a visit. Definitely recommend trying it at least once if you're in the area solid food, great atmosphere, and excellent service.

Stopped in here after I saw the new sign in the window that they had a lunch buffet. There's…read moredefinitely a part of me that misses pre-pandemic era when lunch buffets were common place and this place is only a few blocks from my office. I got there a little after 11:30. The sign said the buffet started at 11:30 but they weren't ready, so I had to wait a little bit. Not a big deal, especially when a place is trying something new. It gave me an opportunity to check out the space. Like a lot of Indian restaurants, it's a little over the top, with the decor pushing towards opulent but not in an overly stuffy way. The buffet was setup along the bar top, and it was clear they were still figuring it out. Instead of chafing dishes and sternos, they were using electric warming trays and setting out the cookware on top of them. Price wise, it's $20, which feels like the going rate these days (i.e. it's the same as Namaste). That being said, the smaller setup and the individually cooked items meant a way higher quality of food. There was a chicken curry, mushroom magic, a daal, chicken tikka, gulab jamun and a handful of other items including a fusion quesadilla with chicken and pieces of fried paneer. The curry was fine, nothing special. The daal (I think tadka?) was a little thinner than I prefer and a slightly over-seasoned, but was good even with the over seasoning. The mushroom magic was good, but the real spotlight was the chicken tikka. With everything being prepared in smaller batches than the stereotypical buffet, this was the moistest chicken tikka I ever had, and the texture and flavor far exceeded anything I would expect from a buffet. They did bring out fresh naan, but that felt like something they were doing since it was still new/slow, i.e. they had naan on the buffet line too. The only thing I would have liked would have beeen some achar, but I'm sure that puts me in a very small slice of potential customers. Definitely see myself coming back here, and ideally dragging along some of my coworkers. tl;dr; smaller buffet with incredible quality due

Thank you to the wonderful chefs and people keeping this place running. I am so grateful to have the privilege to try this plate again and I look forward to my next visit to Portland, just for Mirisata.

The menu is a bit challenging to navigate the first time through, but the staff is lovely and will help direct you. I'll say that the printed direction to order 4-7 dishes per person would be crazy. We did not need 35 dishes! Some of the dishes are very small, and some are enormous, so ask if you don't know to strike the perfect balance. Some are offered on a range of 1-5 spiciness, and it definitely leans on the spicy side, so you may want to stick with 1-3. The flavors here are fabulous! I was so impressed that with all vegan ingredients, each dish was fully differentiated and had its own unique flavor profile. The dining area reminded me so much of the street cafes throughout Asia.

The chicken is cooked in it, and was cooked beautifully. This is a very different experience than almost any other Indian restaurant that mixes spices and chicken cooked separately into already cooked rice. Apna Chaat Bhavan is my usual stop for Biryani, but this is on another level, I haven't found any other local restaurants that come close (Bombay Cricket Club had great biryani back in the day too). It's not Hyderabad Dum style, it is a Punjabi regional style as I understand. The palak paneer was clearly made with fresh spinach, it had an excellent intense fresh spinach flavor, a big difference from the mild bland stuff most restaurants serve. The paneer was also fantastic, with a great flavor and texture - not the softer/more bland style often served. Haveli serves proper homemade food with good fresh ingredients, big portions, very nicely balanced flavors. I'm so happy this opened because I love good Indian food, and this is by a long shot my new favorite spot in the Portland area.

So, first: Dil Se is serving in the restaurant again as of this year. They have spacious and…read morecomfortable seating, so it's a good option for anyone headed to ART or Providence Park again. They do not take reservations, but really you don't need them. We don't have much South Indian anywhere east of Beaverton. Dil Se is probably your most serious South Indian place East of the 405, and a good option if you're looking for a dinner downtown and don't want to spend $$$. Their menu is fairly limited, but their dosas are excellent and one dosa and one other dish would be plenty to share between two people. Dishes have flavor but nothing is really India-spicy. Presumably you can get hot chutneys to boost the spice level if you want them, but don't worry about bringing your delicate-tongued relatives here. The staff is super-nice too. The woman who usually hosts is very motherly; expect some advice as you leave.
