23 Best Indian Restaurants near Gladstone

“I happened to be in the area today and needing lunch, and I am so thankful I gave this place a shot. I would usually get the butter chicken, but was recommended the Tikka masala. I was blown away. The chicken was perfectly cooked, extremely well seasoned. I’m not sure there is anything I would change. The food does take a few minutes to prepare, which I appreciated as the quality was outstanding and clearly freshly prepared. The owner was very friendly and thankful for my visit. One thing I was surprised by was the naan. It was a different style than I am used to, but it was fresh and absolutely spectacular. I wish this restaurant was closer to me!“

“Shera Indian Cuisine absolutely knocked it out of the park for our recent party! We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, chana masala, and chicken with bone biryani, and every single dish was absolutely amazing. The portions were incredibly generous, ensuring none of our guests went hungry.
What truly sets Shera apart is their phenomenal customer service and attention to detail. Before finalizing the order, he actually had us taste everything to ensure the flavors and spice levels were perfectly aligned with what we wanted. This extra step made the entire menu feel completely custom-tailored to our exact tastes.
Thanks to the incredible food, our party was a massive hit, and almost everyone was asking for the name of our caterer by the end of the night. If you want phenomenal food with generous portions and truly personalized service, I cannot recommend Shera Indian Cuisine enough!“

“My husband and I had heard great things about this cart, so we came and got a ton of food to give it a try. We are so glad we did! The word of mouth is absolutely correct. The food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly spiced. Plus the portions are very generous. Our stand outs: chicken biryani, lamb curry, and veggie pakoras. The biryani may be one of the best I’ve had anywhere, we both had to throw away our spoons to stop eating it. The lamb is tender and the curry flavor is deep and rich and flavorful. The pakoras are more substantial than others I’ve had, but they had great flavor and I loved the coriander chutney they came with. This cart is a gem and I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“Amazing owners and excellent Indian food! 😋😋“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Has great dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan options. You have to try their Tikka Masala. Great staff, great food, great drinks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Chicken tikka masala was perfectly prepared. First time in as long as I can remember, where the chicken was not overcooked and instead... soooo very juicy and tender. Garlic naan... yum. Pakora was delicious“

“Fantastic taste and hospitable people! We had the chicken curry, bhindi masala, kofta curry, and samosa chaat, and all the dishes were flavorful. The owners are so hospitable and welcoming that the overall experience becomes even more memorable.“

“I sample some chicken marsala two weeks ago a friend had. I placed a to go order while I was on my lunch. I sampled everything once I got back to work. IT WAS SOOOOO DELICIOUS AND EXTREMELY WELL SEASONED. The food was sooo good when I got home from work; I heated up more of it. DANG IT!!! Was just as good as the first bite. I was up at 2:22 am finishing off the rest. Justin was amazing and has the best food selection advice. Please visit. I swear you won't be disappointed. Signed Tenise“

“Wow, amazing food. We were visiting portland from east coast and tried saag chicken + shrimp biryani from this place. The taste was top notch and spice level was really good as well according to our requirement. We wanted high spice that can satisfy desi tastebuds.“

“We ate a late dinner at this restaurant and it was phenomenal… just absolutely delicious. It wasn’t crowded since it was so late and we got some real 1:1 attention. The owner of the restaurant came to our table and explained so many things about the dishes, desserts and drinks. He was so passionate about what he does and it shined through in the food! We will definitely be back to try more food! It’s very nice inside the restaurant as well. The lighting is nice and it is quiet and clean. As we were leaving, the owner gave us some traditional Indian beers to try at home. What a great spot!“

“Great Indian food and nice people to help you and assist you with choosing the right food. It was buffet style.“

“Most excellent Indian food with phenom spices the masalla dishes are the best! Highly recommend the Garlic Naan too!“

“Mezbaan Mahal is a family-owned Indian restaurant and you can feel that the moment you walk in. It has a warm, welcoming vibe that a lot of chain restaurants just can’t fake. There’s plenty of seating so you don’t feel cramped, and the staff were genuinely friendly, not in a rushed, get-you-in-get-you-out kind of way, but actually attentive and nice.
We went around 6 PM on a weekday and it wasn’t too busy, which made the whole experience even more relaxed. Great time to go if you want a quieter dinner.
Now the food — we ordered the chicken khari and I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous because khari can sometimes come out dry or bland. Not here. It was rich, flavorful, and had really good depth to the spices. Definitely not what I was expecting in the best way possible.
The portions are seriously generous. The two of us shared one order and we still had enough to take home for the next day. And the garlic naan? Fresh and soft and exactly how it should be.
Overall a really solid spot. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Best Indian food around, and the nicest owners!! Come support a local, authentic, family owned business! You won’t regret it- you’ll be coming back for more!!“

“Amazing flavors for the egg plant Masala and Lamb saag that I ordered. Medium heat was still pretty spicy. Better value than at a restaurant. Hummus could use more garlic, but overall- absolutely delicious. Last Saturday of the month features an open mic in this tiny park.“

“Thali was good especially chicken tikka masala �“

“This is a must try place! I stumbled upon them by accident, was walking down Woodstock with a friend and the delicious smell of the curry steered us away from our previous path.

I got the lamb curry, and OH MY GOD. The chunks of lamb were big, they were tender... The curry itself was just incredible... Quite effectively the best lamb curry I've ever had. I will definitely be back for more, and soon!!“

“Always a great experience !“

“Fabulous venue although I will not be returning as trivia night on Wednesdays has been eliminated. This was my go to place every Wednesday. My happy place, my keep my brain intact, challenge my rivals and see familiar faces place. I'm sad you made this choice, I hope you make better ones next time.“

“authentic India food freshly prepared great staff worthy of the wait“

“First time trying and will order again. I got for takeout: Butter Chicken it comes with rice. Its very flavorful, savory buttery sweet but not overly sweet. I requested medium spice. I also ordered garlic naan which was deliciously garlicky and had herbs. I also got the tamarind chutney which I highly recommend, spicy tart and sweet. The green chutney was good too but if I had to choose I would get the tamarind chutney.“

“Shocked to see so many negative reviews, honestly. My SO got lamb vindaloo and a mango lassi from this cart and thought it was an absolute banger of a meal. It looked great to me—really thick, rich sauce and lots of nice, juicy looking chunks of lamb with a healthy portion of fluffy rice. Great price and portion because he had some to take home for later, as he could not finish the whole thing! I watched him get his order taken and the guy at the counter seemed lovely.“

“Love, love, LOVE Dhaba Indian Kitchen! We can't get enough!“
