43 Best Indian Restaurants in Portland

“INDIAN HUNGER POINT HAS MOVED LOCATIONS!!!!! Old address is the 9320 SE Woodstock address. Their new location is at 3582 SE Powell Blvd. Portland Oregon 97202Phenomenal food and exceptional service. I go here at LEAST once every two weeks to enjoy the chicken vindaloo. The men working always recognize me and know my order when they see me. HIGHLY recommend this delicious food!“

“Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner and the flavors were marvelous!“

“Food is delicious- seasoning/spices are delightful, homey and warm without overpowering or being too spicey (for those who can not tolerate full Indian spice, they are super accommodating!) staff were helpful and kind. 2 tables inside. Take out ideal. 10/10 recommend!“

“Are you sick of the same ol’ same ol’ pizza? Do you love Indian food? Well then this might just be your place. While they do offer the classics for those not looking for something new, for everyone else there is an amazing collection of Indian fusion pizzas. Of course they have a chicken tikka pizza, but that’s just the beginning. Just check out the menu and tell me you’re not compelled to give this place a try. We ordered the tandoori paneer pizza and the vegan Punjabi garlic breadsticks. And the verdict… Holy crap! Drop what you’re doing and get over here. Best breadsticks I’ve had in a very long time, if ever. Very bold flavors, chewy, delicious. And the pizza, while the flavors were more subtle, they were deliciously complex. I’m excited to return to explore the menu further. Do yourself a favor and get over here now.“

“Came in for take out aloo paranthe; damn, these were excellent proper roadside dhaba-type parantha. Only thing missing was white butter and pickle. But that's not a complaint; I have my own pickle and white butter at home. Keep up the great work and have your Maharaja train up the fellas at the Broadway location(nice folks but not dhaba-type paranthe). Shukriya!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Remember folks, all the negative and over the top ago reviews within a few days of each other are hate brigades. They are bots and accounts that aren’t in Portland and have never experienced Desi Pdx. since no service was provided it should not be considered valid.“

“Delicious food!!! Thank you!“

“We visited at this restaurant The food was delicious, The restaurant has a clean and welcoming environment with a nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal. The main point for review is that The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, it’s a great place to eat — tasty food, and a pleasant experience from start to finish.“

“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.“

“Oh my gosh!! Delicious and plentiful all for reasonable prices

We got the deluxe Thali, Butter chicken and the bread basket!

The Deluxe Thali gives you a good sampling of their curries. If you don’t know what specifically you might want or just want to try a little of everything. This is a perfect choice and it comes with a little dessert.

The Butter Chicken, flavorful. I got a spice level five and it’s a perfect balance of flavor and spice. This felt like a chefs kiss. The chicken was beautifully red and a tender consistency.

The bread basket for only 15 dollars was three baskets of freshly made naan.“

“The best Indian food I’ve ever had and by far the best in Portland. The quality is consistent and the service is fantastic, everyone that works there is so nice and they let you order over text message. My favorite dishes are the butter chicken, daal tadka, vegetable samosa and the garlic naan.“

“Stand out food!!! Tried the Chicken Samosas and Chicken Masala this week. Sooooooo good!!!!!! Roti was made to order, hot and Fresh!!! Super nice owners! Great place to stop for a meal that isn't made by a fast food joint!!!“

“They have a very rich selection of both North Indian and South Indian food. The former tend to have a nutty, creamy, less spicy flavor.

A lot of the food can be made non spicy. The vegetarian options I tried were all very delicious.

Along with the usual biryani, paneer, aloo and others, they also offer dishes that are not common but very tasty. Some of these would be korma, kofta, something made with daal, and something made with mushroom.

I finish with clean plates. I was much reminded of the Indian food I got in London.

My friend once asked if they could make a spicy lassi that was off the menu. They delivered it. My friend said it was authentic and well made, although I could see why the restaurant didn’t put that on the menu.“

“Tikka Taco is amazing food. Indian food meets Mexican food. I work near and have eaten multiple times. Highly recommended.“

“Just loved the food, service and the vibe. During my portland trip of 2 days, I had my dinner for both the occasion. I tried papdi chaat(4.5/5), Veg Biryani (too good 5/5), daal makhni(3.5/5) and naan/roti(5/5)

If you're in Portland Downtown and craving for Indian food, don't see anywhere else as I explored other places as well.“

“Good eatery for South Indian cuisine. The doses, sambar everything is excellent along with great service.“

“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“

“Amazing find everything I needed!“

“Wonderful food cart in Scappoose with many Indian-style curry options. Everything made fresh including the naan bread. (They also offer different spicy levels.) You get a lot of food for the price! Its great to have a local option in town and I come by at least once a week for it, ever since they opened last year. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating too with a full bar available at the Lodge.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“The butter chicken was so good! Very nice place!“

“Delicious food in a vibrant setting. Ordered Veg. Thali and it came with Veg.Biryani, Naan, Rice, appetizer, 2curries, sambar,rasam,yogurt and a dessert. perfect balanced meal for a weekday lunch.“

“Best Samosa chaat I've ever had after moving to the USA. Right amount of spice for an Indian, definitely hits the spot and close your eyes while eating it and feel the flavors and don't forget to smell the food before digging in! You'll love it!“

“Saturday morning! Rainy day with cool breeze! Really fantastic choice to have breakfast early morning- fresh from the frying Pan! Soft Idlies! Chorley Bathurst! And a special item as per our request- fresh steaming Spicy UPPUMA! Enjoyed well& will be back again tomorrow!! Thks DABBA INDIAN KITCHEN!! Ramanuja“

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

“Thali was good especially chicken tikka masala �“

“Always a great experience !“

“The highest quality restaurant available at the Washington Square Mall food court. They have a pretty extensive menu of different Indian foods, including a lot of options available to eat right after purchase as well as items that they make fresh after you order. They offer different types of meats and sauces, and all that I've tried so far have great flavor. Their butter chicken is definitely a favorite from a lot of people who order. It is a pricier option than other restaurants around it, but not by much, and well worth it. Service is really nice and the employees take the time to remember you if you're a repeat customer. Whether you're a first time customer or you've been there before, you can easily tell that they love the food they make for you. Definitely recommended.“

“We went to Bollywood Theater and had a great experience! We ordered the Pav Bhaji, Thali, and Paneer Kathi Roll, and really enjoyed majority of the items. The Kathi Roll was the standout—flavorful and filling—while the Pav Bhaji was tasty and comforting. The Thali offered a nice variety, though it felt more like a sampler than a traditional thali.

The ambience was vibrant with fun Bollywood vibes, and the presentation was nice. Prices were a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes, but overall the food was satisfying and worth trying.“

“I stopped here to have some dumplings for lunch and I'm so glad I did. The dumplings were amazing. I also got two different sauces on the side, one mild and one hot, and both were great with the dumplings. I'm so glad I discovered one of the best dumpling spots in the area.“

“I enjoyed the lamb Kathi roll, the spices were on point and the naan bread soft and delicious. However, I was pretty shocked that it came only in tin foil. I would’ve expected it to be wrapped in paper and then tinfoil to make it easier to eat, and also prevent accidentally eating a piece of tinfoil, which is incredibly toxic.“

“I could not believe the amount of incredible food we got for just $15 on their lunch special. Each of us ended up with a main dish in addition to 6 other sides. A couple of the sides I didn't love but everything else was excellent, especially the chicken curry and kheer. Great vegetarian options. Beautiful interior. Our server was stretched thin over several tables but was still gracious and accomodating. We ended up with plenty of leftovers so we got to enjoy it the next day as well!“

“Delightful little spot. I've never seen such a creative take on indian food.“

“I went here tonight for the first time and the food is so good it’s mind blowing. Everything I ate was absolutely delicious! I will DEFINITELY be returning. Service is also very good. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, and made sure we had everything we needed. I loved it here and am really looking forward to my next visit.“

“We were so happy to discover this restaurant, being non-traditional folks around Thanksgiving time. The owner is unfortunately leaving after 33 years - but not yet! While you still can, give this wonderful local business a try. Excellent sauces, service, spices, wonderful Chai tea. Very cozy.“

“Large buffet of slightly below average and very salty yet mildly-spiced Indian food. I liked it because I like most Indian food, but I don't think I'll be back soon. But maybe you should try it if you wanna eat a lot for 20 bucks. My favorites were the veg dishes especially the eggplant, the lamb meatballs, the pakoras, and you can't go wrong with the mango ice cream machine!“

“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.“

“We love Little Tibet! (Especially at our favorite St. Johns/Peninsula food cart pod!) The momos and curry are The Best (I could eat momos every day the rest of my life and be happy... perhaps even chubbier, but quite content.) Tashi and Lahkpa are genuinely beautiful people, which makes the food even better.“

“The food was very good and they have aor of vegetarian options, which is awesome. The wait was very long but the food was delicious. These carts don't have much ambiance but there are a lot of choices which is nice. I would recommend this cart if you are a vegetarian. I got the veggie coconut korma mild, it was awesome.“

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

“Mannnn listen I'm from Brooklyn so that automatically makes me a foodie I'm also a trucker and I know where all the good food is all over this country and Canada so hear me when I say this Indian restaurant hands down is one of the best If not the best Indian food I've tasted. It's an Indian buffet The food is great and very affordable you will not go wrong eating here. The owner is a wonderful person polite and kind I saw him feed a homeless man who walked in off the street. Overall great place to eat.“
