“Since we've moved here we've been searching for a good Indian place, after trial and error elsewhere, this spot did not disappoint! Hands down the best we've had in Vancouver. We've eaten here a few times and it's always flavorful and delicious. We always get delivery so I can't attest to the restaurant experience but it's always 10/10 when we order in. Fresh, well-spiced (I could take more heat honestly but general spices are good), and a good price! Lamb samosas are a must have. The thali option for entrees is perfect for two! I am an avid customer and will be ordering at least monthly. Thank you for the delicious food and I can't wait to try everything on the menu!“
“I personally love the food and bring all my friends to try it out i tried goat for the first time not sure if i would like because i really dont like lamb and i thought it was going to be similar or worse turns out i loved it and now will order it regularly this place is a great place to go to experience food outside of your confort zone just to find out its right there in the confort zone!“
“Great cart pod location. The food was tops. Garlic Naan brought the garlic, and the butter chicken was rich and delicious. Heard dinner service gets really crowded, but being here for lunch opening, we got our food fast.Vegetarian options: Samosas were great.“
“Daawat a lshq is a fantastic, tiny side of the road, Indian Food cart. This is street food, and it is great. Everything we are was fantastic. Small joint and very quaint. We love this place and will definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian optionsParking: The parking lot is small, kinda like the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: No the most kid friendly place.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, but high tables, rough parking lot.“
“I usually go for NY style pizza if I'm getting pizza but wanted to try here bc it sounded different. Wasn't sure how Indian it was going to be, and I would say after trying it is mostly on the classic pizza side w/ about 25% Indian. I liked it but they could make it more Indian tasting & I think I'd like it more. You can choose from a few topping options such as tandoori chicken, curry chicken & a few others. They also have paneer vegetarian options which I may try next time as they sound good. They let you choose half and half and we tried a couple of the chicken options and both were very tasty. I wasn't the biggest fan of their standard crust as it was a bit doughy to me but I noticed that you can choose different crust as well as make your own pizza (only after I ordered unfortunately) and they have a thin crust or cauliflower crust option as well as some others. The interior is spacious w/ some big screens that have games on. They also have some nice specials, a lunch special for a small pizza & weekday special where your 1st beer is $1.“
“This was the single best dining experience I've EVER had. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, and there was a personal touch that I've never experienced. The lamb was probably the best dish I've ever had, and the cocktails were stunning as well. This might be the best restaurant in Oregon, the creativity of the flavors is OFF THE CHARTS. 10/10.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“The food I amazing and the atmosphere is great. I really enjoy coming to this restaurant. My personal favorite dish that I would highly recommend is the butter chicken. The only negative is that the service can be on the slower end.Vegetarian options: A large portion of the menu is dedicated to vegetarian options.“
“Really great experience at this restaurant. Food is fantastic and unique. The flavor profile is different than most Indian restaurants. We had Veg Pakora platter, Chicken Skewers and Veg Thali for 2, for drinks we tried the Paloma, Kashmiri Tea and Mango Coconut Lassi. Everything was cooked to perfection, and each dish had its own flavor. Chef/owner was very engaging and attentive to our needs during the meal. Highly highly recommend.“
“the vegetable pakora was very delicious so as the chicken curry!! Rice are well-cooked too! The owner made sure we get the Pakora right out of the fryer before we even paid for the food.On the top of that, the owner was nice enough to give our little puppy some bland chicken !!!Would definitely come again!Highly recommend this place!“
“Wow, flavor explosion! I just had the dal with rice (lunch bowl) and the flavors were amazing. There’s some crunch with roasted chickpeas and sweetness with dried fruit in the rice. I love Indian food so I can’t wait to try other dishes and the food at the sister restaurant. The service was friendly and very quick!“
“food is absolutely amazing, only thing i’ve gotten and not liked was the biriyani. you always leave with enough food for lunch the next day!gluten free and vegan accommodatingcocktails are decent, mango lassis are heavenlyamazing atmosphere, servers are kind“
“I discovered my new Favorite food in the Universe when I was today hours old: momos!Orig from the monasteries of Tibet/Nepal… if you can imagine Polish pierogis & pelmini having a hot steaming sweaty 3-way w/ Chinese xiao long Bao all night while the dogs watch…you might have an idea what I just Xperienced going down my pie hole. And at only $12/order, they’re a Steal.“
“This place is awesome. Serious comfort food. It's so tasty and makes you feel so good inside, It's the best Indian takeout I've had since New York City, the best I've had on the west coast, bar none. It's so worth it.. I shared my chili garlic chicken wings with a traveler on the street they to agreed the excellence of it all.... Indian food is spicy, this is something you should know. You can't give a bad review cause you don't like spicy food but then order Indian food, that's all on you... Just saying...“
“Great spot to explore indian flavors in Portland.They have a television playing Indian movies all the time and you are also surrounded by Indian decor across the restaurant and the restrooms as well.We got the chicken kathi roll, pav bhaji and the indian chai.The kathi roll was flavorful, good portion size and high quality and pav bhaji was decent as well.Highly recommend this spot which is also pretty reasonably priced as well!“
“Original dishes, fast service, nice ambient, quiet restaurant. The best dish was the chick’n tikka masala. I really liked the sauce on the samosas, but they were not traditional samosas. A lot of the dishes were creative and required an open mind. The lentil kofta was essentially lentil falafel with veggies. The naan was not necessary, since the dishes had rice and it was really more like pita bread with seeds. Which is a shame, as you never see vegan naan anywhere. The dessert was okay. The texture was a bit off to us, but the blueberry compote was nice and very generous on the blueberries.Overall, the dinner was okay. If I did it again, I wouldn’t come in with high expectations my first time and I’d be open to the dishes being different than what they traditionally are. The food is good and original, the service is fast, the prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is nice and quiet for a dinner.“
“Holy cow, amazing, tandoori, tuna salad, sandwich at this little food cart by the upright brewing. New location at a renovated gas station on Northeast Prescott. !! The atmosphere rating is for the inside dining option (or picnic tables) at the upright brewing and Juniors coffee at the ‘station’Also, they have a happy hour special every day from 3 to 5 with deals on sandwiches and beers !“
“Tikkalicious is my favorite restaurant in Portland BY FAR. I usually get the lamb makhani and chicken biryani, and I’m blown away every time like it’s my first time having it again. The lamb makhani is delicious, flavorful and tender, and the chicken in the chicken biryani has incredible flavor and falls off the bone. The garlic naan is perfect every time. The food is spicy, but worth it and so delicious. I order from here regularly, I highly recommend Tikkalicious! (Order take out, not DoorDash!)“
“Unusual mix of Indian and French cuisine offerings. The Indian dishes are authentic, prepared by two chefs with culinary school training. The French items are well-known (eg, bistro classics, like onion soup),and provide a nice complement for a party that has varying tastes. Service is attentive and personable. One of the owners and chefs visited our table and was quite personable and earnest. The setting is spacious and comfortable.“
“We had our new year's dinner here. I had to reserve through the OpenTable to make sure we get seats. The food was delicious. The service was very slow though, we waited for our food for almost 30mins. The quantity of the food was also questionable from the price point. The location is good but not sure if we will be going again.“
“One of the best places to eat this style of food, they really use fresh and quality products, personally I always like the Chicken Biryani and its preparation is perfect, the rice is not stuck like other establishments in the area offer it with or without spicy , likewise the Garlic Naan are perfect and delicious. Highly recommend ordering food from this place, the service is excellent, and the portions are very generous.“
“Really yummy, well seasoned food! The spice level of my eggplant masala was right where I like it, a bit of heat but not so much that it overwhelmed the dish. We got a sampler of the pakoras and the breading was fantastic. I also got their mango mixed drink which was well mixed and refreshing. My friends and I shared our dishes and I enjoyed everything I tried! The server was great, personable and attentive, but gave us time to enjoy our food once we got it. Will be back when I am in the area again for sure.Vegetarian options: As expected from Indian food, there were plenty of vegetarian options, and I believe I saw some dishes with options to make them vegan if that's your dietary preference.“
“If you want to eat something satisfying and flavorful you have to go! The chili momo plate was over the top delicious. The curry bowl is also mind blowing. The flavor and spice is perfect and cannot be matched! I can't wait to go back.“
“If you love Indo-Chinese (or just Indian) food then you have to try this place. I absolutely love their Gobi Manchurian as well as the noodles/fried rice. The malai kofta here is also really stellar—very moist and not dry like most Indian places. Spice level is perfect to me (the “normal” spice is probably what most other Indian spots consider “hot”). Take out only is a bummer, but still an awesome place to grab an easy dinner.Vegetarian options: Huge veggie section and most dishes can be made vegan. As a meat eater, I almost exclusively order veggie dishes here, which says a lot.“
“A little pricey but a wonderful local place to get some amazing food. The serving sizes are big enough to fill me and my partner up when sharing a dish, though that may just be because we're two small people. While it's hard to mess up a mango lassi, theirs are still exceptional.“
“very good & authentic indian. when someone says indian food I think of swagat. My chicken tenders & mac & cheese girlfriend makes an exception for this place, provided she gets a delicious mango margarita. have had some interesting interactions with staff but for the most part they are attentive & knowledgeable.“
“Visited Charminar house on a Friday evening with friends, tried Tamil Nadu style dishes, Thalapakattu Mutton Biriyani, Karaikudi Chicken Masala, Chennai 65 and Pepper Chicken. All the dishes are very tasty, finally found a place for good Tamil food ?“
“Vegetarian options: I told the cashier I wanted a selection of 4 different vegetarian choices that we'd share family style and he suggested great options.We also added the Gobi Manchurian (Cauliflower) that was a daily special option. Indian food is my favorite ethnic cuisine and I've tried food from many regions but nothing has ever been quite like this. It was fresh and light. Each dish was richly flavored without being too spicy (hot). My kids had no problem eating it.We appreciated the self service counters so you could pack your food to go without waiting.We enjoyed browsing the "spice market" with food and souvenirs while our food was being prepared.The atmosphere was fun and uniquely decorated.Parking: Parking is sparse and after circling many times through the narrow neighborhood streets my husband dropped me off and parked while I ordered and got a table.Wheelchair accessibility: Our daughter was in a wheelchair and we had no problem sliding her up under-the-table around with the rest of our family.“
“It was good. There are not choices though the way that you are used to, it's like a buffet that someone else makes for you. There is no menu to sit and order from, sadly. The chicken and the spinach that I had were okay, but like 5/10. The Chai and Naan are free, and are of the quality that you expect from free things.“
“This is such a lovely spot for Indian food. The gentleman running the cart was super friendly, and he made everything fresh to order. Nothing more comforting than freshly made chai and chole bhature! This hit the spot on a cold day. I'll definitely return.“
“It's a delicious buffet for Lunch, The also buffet has a variety of cuisine Indian food such as chicken, lamb( Halal), and a mix of vegetables. by the way, the restaurant is close to the Airport, so if you are interested in Indian cuisine, do not hesitate to get into the restaurant...“
“Apologies for the less than exciting looking photo. It's hard to photo dosa in the dark! I had been having a dosa craving for ages and was excited to find a truck that had dosa. I was a little skeptical at first since they also have kolaches, donuts, and biscuits and gravy. I got the chicken dosa which was tasty. They definitely didn't skimp on the dosa since it was three layers deep in the box! I thought the flavors were good overall. The sambal and chutney had a nice spice that really added quite a bit. The filling could have maybe used just a hint more spice. Overall, super happy and warm inside now.“
“Food was delicious! Recommend the samosas, chicken vindaloo, and chicken saag. The only reason I’m not putting five stars for food is because there were a couple sharp bones mixed in with the chicken saag, which could be a hazard.The price wasn’t bad for a full course meal as well. Service was attentive and kind. Overall, am satisfied.“
“Ive been all over the world and everywhere I go I must try 1 or 2 India Restutants in the local area where ever I am. India Oven is thee number 1 best India Food that I've ever had !!!! The flavors are explosive !!!! We got the Onion Bhaji, Dahl Soup, and the Chicken Tiki Mala, Butter Chicken and Gosht Vindaloo. They have an amazing red hot sauce paste so front forget to ask for it. Everything is cooked Gresham from scratch and cooked to order. The owners are such sweet people and the service was very attentive !!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would !!!! Thanks India Ive for such a great experience !!!!Vegetarian options: There is lots of options for a Vegetarian.Parking: Parking is 100% free and there is plenty of parking on the street.Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly people here.Wheelchair accessibility: Its very easy to get inside with a wheel chair because its all at street level and there is no stairs.“
“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“
“Loved my food. I got the butter chicken. It was so good I got one to go as well. My favorite dinner place in all of Portland. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I wish I lived closer. Have been going here for 11 years they have been open for 30 plus years and I think I know why. Great dessert too so don't skip dessert. I will be back again and again. Thanks again staff. Very friendly. Beautiful dishes amazing flavors.“
“Oh wow! This was EXCELLENT food! Our server understood our needs, my wife does NOT like spicy (hot) foods, but they recommend food that was well spiced (flavor). I loved my lamb dish that was similar to vindaloo, it had all the flavors but without the heat spicy. We had the plain naan, you could taste the real butter. It was warm and soft.My wife has said "we'll definitely be back" and coming from her that is a high compliment!“
