"Absolutely the best Indian food in Portland. The butter chicken is rich and perfectly spiced, and the garlic naan is pillowy and fresh from the tandoor. Open late — we came in at 2 AM and the food was just as good as any dinner hour. Highly recommend!"

"As someone who grew up eating North Indian food, I can say this is the real deal. The dal makhani tastes like it simmered overnight, and the paneer tikka masala has just the right depth of spice. So glad Portland has a place like this."

"Incredible halal options and the vegan dishes are just as flavorful as the meat dishes. The chana masala and palak paneer are standouts. Cozy atmosphere, fast service, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality."
