Absolutely delicious food! The best Indian place we’ve found in Portland! They have lots of vegetarian options, and the lunch buffet is a great value. We especially love the paneer curry and the sweet rice dessert with cashews. Everything was delicious, and there is a rotating variety of different spice level dishes for both vegetarians and meat lovers at the buffet. We always leave here satisfied, and the service is great too. This is becoming our favorite buffet.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options both in the buffet and when ordering a la carte off the menu. The menu has clearly labeled vegetarian sections.

Dietary restrictions: My husband is allergic to cinnamon and is a vegetarian, and every time we come the guy who works there is kind enough to explain exactly which dishes in the buffet are vegetarian and which have meat, as well as any that contain cinnamon so that my husband can avoid those.

Parking: Big free public parking lot, it’s in a shopping center

Kid-friendliness: There are high-chairs available, and plenty of booths for families. I saw something about kids under 5 eating for free for the weekend buffet, not sure if that applies to the weekday lunch buffet too?

Wheelchair accessibility: There are several accessible parking spots right in front of the restaurant with a ramp.

They opened this place about 2 years ago, and I've been wanting to go here since. Finally got a chance to go. And I was not disappointed. In fact, I quite liked the experience. I had the paneer butter masala, garlic naan and the Kerala style paratha. It was all excellent. Great location, friendly staff, good ambience, good value for money and very good taste I will definitely be going again.
