Flavors are authentic and tastes pretty standard to what you expect for those dishes. The most notable callout is that the vegan fried chicken is VERY GOOD. That is a must try. I would come back again when I have the craving for Indian food but I don't know if I would be running back for this to be a regular spot for me. Staff is nice and the ambiance is cozy.

For lunch, we split the Deviled "chicken," which was so good we couldn't stop eating it. We also had the fried yellow rice, which was very tasty. I ordered a side of the mango chutney, which was too spicy. I've never been served a really spicy chutney, but this place has it. We also got a side of the Kurukkan roti, which is a gluten free bread. This was unique and very flavorful. Overall, a great casual dining space, please note all the food is vegan. We will go again.

All vegan Sri Lankan food? This is, by far, my favorite place to eat in Portland…read more I grew up in a Sri Lankan household and none of the food my parents made was half as flavorful as this and not to mention it's all vegan. I'm a big fan of the "beef" rolls and all of the roti options but every single curry is to die for (and bonus: no one had to die for it to be made ). It's also a worker owned co-op with amazing ethical standards and inclusivity; they pay their employees a living wage without having exorbitant prices and don't even accept tips. I can't recommend this place higher. If you haven't been here, you have to try it!

Indian spot that has a lunch buffet, but I came for dinner, which did not have a buffet…read more Staff were friendly! Our server was on top of everything! Cute space with a cool curved ceiling! Dosa was huge and tasty! Naan was perfect! Tandoori mixed grill was solid. Kachumber salad was strange - lots of lettuce and oranges, not what we expected, but a nice counter to the meat and dosa. Good meal, but not the best in town. I will come back to try the lunch buffet!

Their chicken biryani is the best I've eaten outside India! And I've tried pretty much every other place in Portland. It almost beats the best biryanis in the Bay Area. It is authentic and really flavorful. I've only had it once, but I expect they're consistent. Get the medium spicy for the true experience. Service is quick, they're good on timing, the pickup area is neat and cozy, and the food is amazing. I'm going to be back to try other dishes soon.

Overall, minus one start, b/c they were busy, and was not able to accurately give me a time- for when my food was ready. This is one of the kitchen in back, with lockers to pick up food. I would definitely return for food- if I'm in the area!

The very first time I went I was kind of skeptical. Vegetarian Pad Thai? How does that work without…read morefish sauce? Well, amazingly, it turns out. Probably my favorite Pad Thai in Portland these days, though you can't go wrong with anything else either. They offer regular (cow milk) and vegan (coconut milk) Thai tea, and once again I was shocked that the vegan one tastes even better! Friendly service and a fun atmosphere. The dipping sauce they use for their curly fries is also amazing if you're considering appetizers. Whether you're a vegetarian or normally eat meat, this is some of the best Thai in the city. Don't miss it!

Pretty much all of your standard Thai entrees just with vegan/vegetarian protein options like tofu or tempeh, or you can also just do veggies. I ordered the tom kha soup and red curry both with medium spice. Both were really tasty! Portions were large too, I took home leftovers of both. Service was quick and friendly. I went for a late dinner so I was able to be seated right away but I imagine during peak times this place fills up quickly!

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

Indian. Supper Club. Tasty food and good conversation with strangers!…read more You buy tickets online in advance, which are $45 plus a 15% gratuity in advance, for a total of $51.75 each. Our party of five was seated at a communal table with another party of three. We eventually ended up partially joining conversations, but I have mixed feelings about the communal dining format in general, but the more outgoing folks in our party enjoyed it! We had a great time, starting our drinks with individual gin and tonics and then moving to a bottle of wine for a few of us. The food was delicious and very abundant. There was a lot left over on the table after all of courses, which I hope was eaten later by staff. Otherwise it's a lot of waste. Food included samosas with four different sauces including an amazing eggplant dish; roasted seasonal fall vegetables with a yogurt sauce; rice and sautéed greens; chicken kofta meatballs in a tomato curry sauce; Kheer rice pudding with hot spiced chai tea. The chef and staff were friendly and interacted with us while serving. Overall, we had a great dinner and met some interesting folks at our table. A great experience and fairly affordable compared to other supper club type experiences.

There were four generous courses and chai - I cannot stress enough that every course was exceptionally good. There were NO leak winks. Course one - an onion uttapam with fresh coconut chutney and the best sambar I've ever had (and I've had many!). Course two - curry mussels with coconut milk ("Mussels Malabar") served with piping hot flatbread. Course three - rustic chicken curry, served with a lemony rice and a shockingly interesting cabbage dish. Course four - an Indian dessert that was a combination of rice pudding and bananas foster. The entire family left stuffed to the gills and smiling. Dinner is in a cozy kitchen with family style tables - service was extremely attentive but convivial. I would not hesitate to go again. At $50 a person, it's a great value and walks the perfect line between elegance/sophistication and comfort/warmth.

My boyfriend and I came here on a rainy Monday evening for a bite to eat…read more I love that the menu was labeled gluten free and vegan. It was helpful with making choices for me as I'm dairy free and gluten free. I settled on the vindaloo with shrimp. I got extra spicy and it was flavorful with a little kick at the end. However, to me, it was not that spicy. The coconut water was good but overpriced in my opinion. Staffing was lacking a little bit here and we weren't checked after our meal was bought to us. We had to ask for our check. Overall decent Indian food with smaller portions. We would be back again.

They were so incredibly friendly, and the food was ready quickly, but presentation and flavor was not sacrificed. The interior is spacious and welcoming. We ate here after the protest, and they gave us a discount for protesting. Totally unnecessary, but shows how awesome they are. Please eat here! They've been impacted by ICE's nearby presence and deserve to thrive. The chili cheese naan will forever live in my dreams.
