This place was great! I’m in Portland to visit family and we were craving Indian. So pleasantly surprised to find yummy Indian food on the first try! Food was delish, service was great, and even though the restaurant was fairly busy for a Wednesday night, we didn’t have to wait at all for a table and the food came out very quickly.

Stopped by for the buffet on 11/5. It was outstanding with many selections including vegetarian options. Service was fantastic as well as atmosphere. Highly recommend the coconut mojito
November 2025
Excellent food! Even with a reservation had to wait just a few minutes to be seated. Very busy so it was understandable. Great lighting and spacing between tables. Plenty of parking. Great place to avoid downtown parking in Portland.
