New favorite Indian restaurant. The chicken biryani is fantastic - it's properly slowly cooked with…read morelots of great spices you have to pick out (anise, clove, cardamom pods, cinnamon... my mouth is watering). 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.

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

The price was incredibly fair for the portion. We happily shared one order and came back for more the next day. Overall, highly recommend trying!

We didn't know what to expect with so little reviews at this place, but decided to give it a shot since all 9 reviews were 5 stars. We had the fish pakora, samosas, chicken vindaloo, and Chana masala. The food was amazing!!!!! He was so happy. The only one piece of feedback that I have for this place is that the chana masala could use some more flavor maybe more tomato sauce. All other items were amazing 10 out of 10. Beyond that the service was excellent. The man working at the front of the house was very nice to us. He switched out one item that I misunderstood at no cost. He also gave my brother a free birthday dessert The vibe of the whole place was very cute as well. Upstairs, there were games and a small café that we could sit at while we waited. We ended up working on a puzzle which was a good way to pass some time. We will definitely be back, especially since my brother is moving to Portland.
