Love that you get jeera rice here instead of plain basmati. Its those extra touches that make a place special. I was quite pleased with every item. The food arrived well packaged and on time. I especially liked the fact that the vegetables in the korma dish were all fresh not frozen. You can tell by the way the veggies were sliced and the texture. Very nice! Punjabi Sundew is a food truck located in Aloha. They are open every day. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, they are definitely worth trying!

I got the steamed momo and Keema noodle, which was recommended by the very kind and patient woman staffing the cart. She was happy to answer all of my questions. The dishes did not look like the photos. The momo filling was very flavorful, tasted like a mild curry. I liked it--most momos I have had before were more bland. The wrapper was a little on the tough/chewy side. I would have preferred the sauce was in a cup to dip rather than drizzled over the top. I was disappointed by the Keema noodles, which really didn't look like the picture. I'm pretty sure it was stir fried spaghetti, and softer than I would have liked. The dish was also a bit salty. I would come back to try other dishes though!

Once I discovered "Mama Noor's" I have not been able to eat anywhere else. They make everything to order. I have a very sensitive mouth for spices when they are able to make me a nice meal without hot spices. Above that, they use season that are out of this world. I like my French fries double quote, and they are always happy to do so. This is by far the best Mediterranean and Indian cuisine I have ever tasted and I have tasted a lot. I am always looking for the ideal dish. Further, they are very efficient and do not cut into my lunchtime. beyond that they have an extraordinarily diverse menu. I couldn't be more happy! Steve

My middle Eastern family is not from such an area. So while I was familiar with the names of items, the way they were prepared was new to me. I ordered a few dishes, Naan and a mango lassi. I was surprised as the total price was lower than other, similar restaurants. I was so happy when I opened the bags. The food was incredibly fragrant. We had lamb plate, falafel & Dolma plate, and chicken tikka masala. Everything...I mean literally everything was delicious. It tastes like it came out of someone's actual kitchen. The flavors were simultaneously familiar and unique. The Tikka Masala was different from what I had in the past and it was wonderful.

When I saw that they served our favorite dishes AND that they were fully vegetarian, we were sold and knew we had to visit. My experience is based on take-out so I cannot comment too much on ambiance, other than the space was very casual. The restaurant is situated off a busy street, but has a parking lot that they share with other businesses. There were quite a few families dining in, but I was able to place my order at the counter after a short wait. The server that took my order was friendly and open to answering my questions. We ordered the royal malai kofta, veg korma, palak paneer, and paratha. The kofta were a good size and the sauce was well seasoned. The korma was filled with veggies and satisfied our taste buds. We were also impressed with the palak's flavor. The portions were a good size, especially for the price, so all in all, the meal was an excellent value. I also noticed that they had a flier on their door advertising a "banana leaf feast"/unlimited sadhya. It looks like they offer it occasionally rather than regularly, but I'd love to come back and try it! I highly recommend Manam and look forward to my next visit.

If you know me, you know I'm all about my dosa and South Indian food representation; so it was inevitable that I would make my way to Manam. I went on a weekend with my husband and was able to grab a booth pretty quickly. The interior is simple but clean and organized and the staff are super friendly. They definitely helped customers who were not as familiar with the menu and explained what the dishes were/spice level in good detail to them. I knew I wanted a dosa so of course, a mysore masala dosa was ordered. We also shared the punugulu, the gobi manchurian, and my husband went off script and got the hakka noodles rather than biryani or dosa. I was honestly eyeing the thali and would try it in the future too. The punugulu came out piping hot and fresh, great tasty bites. The gobi manchurian was also delish and had a good crisp to sauciness ratio. The masala dosa was muuuuch larger than I had anticipated and 100% delicious; 10/10 would recommend. My husband enjoyed the hakka noodles and the portion was great. Prices are very very fair for the quantity and quality. Loving this South Indian vegetarian addition to the Portland/Beaverton! So please go support so we can continue enjoying dosas~

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. That means they were cooking on a huge griddle, cranking out crispy dose, frying paneer 65, wok-tossing gobi manchurian, all on the spot. Every single dish was SO GOOD. 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!
