I came for the first time with 4 friends and didn't quite know what to expect. With five of us, we were able to try a little bit of everything, which is just what we wanted. 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. They nailed that fun, casual feel read more

So very glad we went here! Our first time trying Sri Lankan food and it was awesome. We got Polos cutlets 5/5 (served with green chilli chutney when requested to be made spicy) - had a nice stuffing of spiced potatoes and raw jackfruit. Somewhat like a samosa filling but still quite unique. Wasn't spicy but was very flavorful. Combination plate with Seeni Sambal (caramelised onion tamarind chutney), Polos (jackfruit curry), Deviled pineapple (daily special; the best of the lot!), Radish salad, Mustard Greens salad, and chickpea curry. Served with rice and papadum. The seeni sambal was the only mediocre thing on the platter. Loved the deviled pineapple where pineapple was stewed in a spicy sauce. The pineapple pieces had absorbed the sauce really well and were very juicy with a nice bite to them. The polos is also a must try - raw jackfruit really absorbs spices well and the fleshy and stringy / fibrous texture made it extra delicious. The mustard green and radish salad were also very moist and lightly seasoned, while the chickpea curry was only mildly spiced but balanced the rest of the dishes well. Mango ice tea (4/5) - we got it unsweetened so the mango flavor did not really come through all that well. Very friendly staff/owners. Parking can be a little had to find - we parked at a spot about a 5 min walk away. Gender neutral restroom located past the kitchen so they ask you to wear a mask while walking to the restroom. Outdoor and patio seating with very beautiful decor. Love the ambience and the whole vibe. read more

I'm still puzzling over my experience at Mirasata Tuesday, after which I left hungry and disappointed. I came with three friends for lunch; we all placed individual orders then took our numbers (on a small standup sign) back to our table to chat and enjoy the day. Soon food came for the two men in our party, and we women encouraged them to eat rather than wait on our food. So eat they did, and in another 10 or so minutes more food arrived, but not my order. After a short discussion we realized that my food had been given to one of the men, and he had eaten it; now the food he actually ordered arrived, leaving him with two meals and me with none. Our server seemed to think it was our fault that we got the wrong food, and brought me a roti to eat but never replaced my meal. I was not pleased to have spent $17.50 for a serving of roti, which wasn't exactly the lunch I had paid for. I think i wpuld have liked the food if I'd had a chance to eat what I ordered. it would be most appropriate for the restaurant to refund my money since, through no fault of my own, I did not receive the food I paid for. It was the server who mistakenly put my food down elsewhere, and my friend who ate it had no idea it wasn't his. Unfortunately there was not so much as an apology, and I won't be returning to Mirasata. read more

We hit up Mirisata for a late lunch and I thought the vibe and outdoor seating was great and welcoming. We opted to split a shareable platter and added a roti. I somehow had missed that the food options were vegan but it was a fairly enjoyable meal. I thought the egg roti had a nice texture and flavor, and liked the parippu along with the spicy chick'n curry. The flavors were very unique, and the portions were good. The tropical fruit salad was a bit lackluster, but alright. I made the mistake of eating too much of the egg roti and couldn't finish the other dishes. The drink menu was quite awesome, and I ordered a passionfruit mocktail which was tangy and refreshing. My friend had an iced Sri Lankan coffee and it was quite tasty and not too sweet. Customer service was pleasant and friendly, and we were able to catch up and chat over an extended meal. I was also curious about the dessert options but did not have the appetite. If you're looking for unique and delicious food, I'd suggest visiting Mirisata for lunch or dinner. read more

Still delicious as ever! And now with more breakfast/brunch options. I just wanted to update this review because I had a really wonderful fried rice dish, sometimes the portions can be big or better for sharing, but this was an incredible value as I was just enjoying lunch on my own - and I had so much food and was able to eat some the next day for lunch. Just wanted to update that I loved this fried rice with just egg and I got it with the "pork." read more

Had another great order from Mirisata. I ordered the Rice & Curry plate with spicy jackfruit curry, deviled potatoes, parippu, kale mallum, seeni sambal, and a few other things I cannot remember. Once my food arrived, I started eating and forgot to take a picture. Their food is that good and I'm not a vegan. The portion size was average. I will order again. Mirisata is such a unique place. I'm happy I live in Portland to be able to patronize this restaurant. P.S. If you dine in, they are tip less. Imagine just selling things for one price that includes everything, especially a living wage for the staff. read more

Mirisata - Sri Lankan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

i'm dissapointed :(. I've been wanting to try this place for a few months as i live nearby and it always smells so good when i walk past. We were hopeful and excited and decided to get a rice and curry plate for two so we could try a bunch of different specialties. We chose the garlic curry, their special deviled potato, and the daal. then we asked the person up front for recommendations to help fill our plate which was nice. The issue was, we waited 40 minutes with no food. I eventually had to go up to the counter because i knew something was up. every person got food besides us, even every single person who ordered after us. I talked to a kind lady at the front and let her know. I want to be very clear this 2 star review has nothing to do with her. she was so sweet and i heard her talk to the kitchen right away. I dont know what happened or why our order got lost. but workers continued to come into the dining area and clean tables. I wonder why no one thought to check on why we were sitting for so long with absolutely nothing. i've worked in the industry for years and you should always be checking what's going on with everyone. we got our food a few minutes later. It was sad that we spent so much time waiting when in reality the food didn't take long at all. the kind lady who helped us finally get our food did offer us a drink for the inconvience and we happily tried the lime soda. I do think the experience hindered how everything tasted, because i was super dissapointed in the food. It was $30 for our plate, which was mostly potato's, garlic, and other vegetables. I thought flavor was lacking and I reallly didn't like the texture of their imitation meat. I sadly wouldn't return due to all of the above. I hope they can be more attentive in the future because no one should sit for so long and not be checked in on. read more

I was in town for work and decided to DoorDash Mirisata for dinner after seeing it in several IG Reels. I'm so glad it lived up to the hype. This was probably my favorite meal of the trip. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I ordered the Rice & Curry Plate with Meatball Curry, Black Pork Curry, Kukul Mas Mirisata, Oyster Mushroom Curry, Polos, and Green Bean Mallum. I loved everything, especially the meatball curry. I will definitely make sure I eat here every time I have to fly into Portland for work. I was too tired after traveling and long days this time, but I'll definitely go in person next time. read more

I'm still a Mirisata fan. I think they're doing something unique in Portland - both in the style of food they offer, as well as the structure of the business. Order at the counter (you may need to ring the bell for service). It was recently remodeled so they've got beautiful tile, a big menu board, and a water tap straight in the wall. They will bring food to you. Sit inside (music is a little loud for my tastes) or on their covered, heated patio. Drinks have been good; I haven't tried their desserts. Skip their "short eats" (unless you really want crispy fried food) and go for the curries / deviled dishes. Definitely get a bread too. Food trends spicy. read more

I literally have no words for this place -- the best food ever. And I feel so lucky to have tried it while visiting Portland! I had never had Sri Lankan food but my partner who had visited said it was the best. So when we found this little place we put in on our list for dinner and WOW! The staff was welcoming and the location was cute, with outdoor and indoor seating. I had the garlic curry and vegetable roti and can't recommend both enough. The menu said the roti is a street food staple and yes, if I could have access to this any day of the week, I would. The size is generous! The curry was perfectly spiced -- it was just an explosion of taste! Our only regret was we had already had a big lunch so could only do a small bite to go. So if you're thinking on stopping by, it's a must and we can't wait to be back! read more

Staff was super sweet. This is effectively a food cart that has covered seating and an indoor dining area adjacent. So for me, too cold for winter and spring. I don't eat meat so there are good options. The pumpkin curry is a little salty, the dal was lovely. Tea: awesome! Get a pot! I didn't add anything and the flavor was excellent. Would be lovely for a warm summer evening or lunch. read more

This place has declined dramatically, and it's genuinely sad to see. They've eliminated most of the high-quality dishes they were known for (including the dolphin katu), and the service has gone downhill just as fast. The outdoor seating is consistently filthy tables, benches, and chairs are NEVER cleaned so you're expected to eat in the cold at a dirty table you have to wipe down yourself. To make matters worse, I found a black hair in my food. I used to enjoy coming here (as my previous reviews show), but between the lack of hygiene, disappearing quality, and careless service, I won't be returning. A little basic cleanliness and care would go a long way in the food industry. At this rate, I'd be surprised if they're still in business in a few years. ****In response to the owners reply my review is not about being there on January 30, 2026. The last time I ate there was this summer in 2025. You also confirmed you've changed your menu to cheaper lower quality items to maximize your profits. Cutting the quality of your food just shows where your ethics and values lie which is exactly the reason why I will not be supporting your business. read more

**A hidden gem in Portland** We stopped by this cute little spot on our way to Eugene, and we're so glad we did. The weather was perfect, so we chose to sit outside -- the ambiance was relaxed and inviting, making the whole experience even better. The staff was lovely! Our server was super friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu, even recommending a few dishes we might have otherwise missed. We started with the *Pariparu Vade* -- it reminded me of a similar dish from back home in India. Crispy, flavorful, and comforting in the best way. The *Rice and Curry Plate* was the real standout. Each curry had its own flavor profile but somehow worked perfectly together. It was more than enough for the two of us to share. We also tried the *Deviled Chicken with Fried Rice*. It was good, just not as exciting as the other dishes -- we might skip it next time, especially since the rice and curry was more than satisfying on its own. All in all, great food, warm service, and a lovely outdoor setup. Definitely a place we'd come back to! read more

Good food, quick and humble service, and not very clean but ample sitting adjacent to the order area, both indoor and outdoor. The green chili chutney served with jackfruit starter is a flavor bomb and I could recommend them just for that. The roti's offered are pretty unique to their culture. The entree platter is ok and served over rice. I find the food over priced but delicious. Also, because it's all served over rice, so, in 5 mins the curries become too dry to eat with roti. I wish they put a little more thought in how the food is served. But I guess it might be a cultural thing and it's their way of showing their culture. For a full experience I would rather eat there, but I guess a beach vibe would add a perfect blend to that experience. read more

This place is SO GOOD. Never had Sri Lankan food before, so wasn't 100% sure what to expect. It seems like a combo of Indian and Thai/southeast Asian, which makes total sense! The warm curry flavors of Indian mixed with the bright citrusy flavors of Thai, etc. complement each other so well! The rice and curry plate for 1-2 was perfect for two hungry people (would be a lot for one). We LOVED the Impossible meatball -- wish I knew how they made these because I could eat a hundred. The potatoes were also delicious. The lentils, slaw, heck, EVERYTHING on the plate was yummy. The only miss (our fault) was not getting roti to scoop up the remnants. Do that! I enjoyed my lime soda (very refreshing and more tart than sweet), and the iced coffee was decent. This was a considerably affordable meal for two people. Stop by soon and enjoy their beautiful patio! You won't regret it. read more

Delicious cocktails, flavorful food, and good filling portions for the price. What more can you ask for? There's outdoor seating with a few heaters and a small indoor seating area.

Loved how many gluten free options there are and such a great variety of vegan dishes- will bring many more vegan and GF friends here. read more

"Beef" rolls are a must esp with the green sauce. Definitely will come back next time we are in Portland!

I keep coming back for the bold vibrant flavors and banging rotating curries. The menu can be a little intimidating but the staff in this worker owned collective is always happy to answer questions and (figuratively) hold my hand through ordering. You order at the window, then take a number and sit. Food gets brought out. 10 indoor tables seating two or four, and lots of outdoor seating that is perfect when the weather is nice. Cocktails and n/a drinks are also very good. I've brought many an omnivore here for a rice and curry plate and none missed the lack of meat - there's so much variety of flavor and textures. read more

Divinely delicious! A friend of mine from Portland recommended this place to me and it didn't disappoint. I came here with a guy I met at the Airbnb that I'm staying at and I was afraid considering we arrived at 8:43 PM and closing is at 9:00 PM. Luckily, we still were able to order and eat without restaurant staff rushing us. We ordered the beef rolls, rice and curry plate for one, cheese beef roti, and I got me the ginger drink. EVERYTHING was packed with flavor and more. It was a spicy kick and at the site of my tongue, my taste buds were woohoo'ing at the point of orgasmic goodness to taste every bite. The curries are served on a banana leaf locking in the aromatics. Similar to how Ethiopian food is served minus the injera, instead you can order roti. The person I was with, he had never tried Sri Lankan cuisine and he impactfully loved it! He described the food as, "solid". I loved since it tasted significantly better than the Sri Lankan food I had in Houston (Cafe Kottu; absolutely disgusting!) To think, I came to the PNW and flavor profile was top notch is something else in a good way. The ambiance is pretty Portland standard: chill and laid back. If you're a vegan, this restaurant is godsend of all. The food was seasoned with perfection and unlike the Jade Rabbit; they don't accept reservations unless party of six. Less populated than the dimsum place, but shouldn't be overlooked. read more

Wow. Could not stop eating this. Ate 1.5 of the 2 roti I was supposed to share and got one to go. It's mostly outdoor seating, definitely some inside but we thought outside was cuter.

Mirisata - Rice & Curry Plate for 1-2 Pol Roti combo plate - Sri Lankan Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We recently had a fantastic meal at Mirisata, Portland's Sri Lankan vegan restaurant and a unique worker-owned cooperative on SE Belmont. We weren't sure what to order, so we went with the family-style Rice & Curry for 3 but asked for fried rice instead of plain rice. Out came a generous platter of beautifully spiced dishes, all bursting with flavor. Everything was delicious! Some curries were quite spicy for us, but still incredibly tasty. Our son really enjoyed the Impossible "beef" rolls with mild green chili sauce. The potato in coconut curry was delightfully mild and creamy. Mirisata offers a warm, relaxed vibe with friendly service, and a laid-back feel that keeps things comfortable. One quirky thing: the restroom is accessed through the kitchen, which gives you a glimpse behind the scenes, complete with the expected hustle and a bit of mess. The restroom itself could've been tidier considering its proximity. On the bright side, the staff did ask us to mask up while passing through, which we appreciated. Overall, it didn't dampen our enjoyment--it felt like a small trade-off for the relaxed cooperative atmosphere. read more

We need more vegan restaurants like Marisata in Portland! So many times vegetarian/vegan restaurants have tasteless and boring food. Not Mirisata! We went with a group of friends for dinner tonight and were not disappointed. We didn't really know what to order so the helpful guy at the counter helped us decide. We got the rice and curry if the day which was chickpea curry, deviled potatoes, and a few other things. We got a couple of add ons and two types of roti as well. Our favorite was the "pork" curry. We will be back! read more

Sooooo good! Never had Sri Lakan food before. But I'm definitely a convert now! Beef rolls were excellent vegan of course. Had the dinner plate for two! We got two Hot toddy's and they were great!

Will definitely come back and try more things as their menu is extensive really nice heated outdoor area and the lady with the braids that helped us was so kind and cheery.

I've been to Mirisata a few times. Usually with a group of people, and I wasn't sure what to order, and the food didn't really wow me. Fast forward to today. Curry and rice had been my comfort food in the past. Lately, I've been in the mood for salads. Mirisata did not have a salad. But, the woman at the counter was very helpful with helping me pick something out. I got the Black "pork" curry with a side of rice. It was so good! Really good flavor with a slight kick. Generous portion, I took half home. I got the mango iced tea, which was good to bring the heat down a little. I liked the water cooler next to the counter. The weather was really nice, and many people sat in the outdoor dining area. I opted to sit indoors. It was really clean, and the chairs were padded, which I appreciated. read more

Wow! Cannot recommend this place enough. One of the best if not the very best Indian food I've ever had!

This was truly one of the best place I've eaten at in my life. I was recommended this place by a co worker in California and when I came to Portland to visit, it was a must see. I've never had Sri Lankan food before so I had no idea what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of outdoor seating and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The food does take a bit to come out but it is all cooked fresh and high quality. Wonderful experience, I think everyone should come here at least once to try it out. read more

One of the first great meals we'd had during our Seattle and Portland trip! I'm not sure how my Pookie ordered, and had no idea that this place is completely vegan lol. He only realized it was vegan after tasting the "beef". We ordered the veggie and beef/cheese rotis. The former was my bf's fave as he thought the veggie tasted like his mother's cooking.
