Veg thali
Bharti K.

This was the first spot that we tried as soon as we landed in Portland. It was cold and we were craving some Indian food and this place seemed to have a lot of options to try from. It is an Indian store with a kitchen and seating area. So its kinda a restaurant in the Indian store. The kitchen started serving around 11:30 am and we got there around the same time. We ordered veg pakora, veg thali and some tea. Pakora was really good and it was really crunchy. Thali was good and portion size were huge. Thali had sambhar, rice, pulav, sweet, roti, papad, and subzi of choice. We went with subzi of the day and it was mutter aloo beans. Everything in the thali tasted delicious and we absolutely loved it. As the time progressed a lot of people started trickling in for lunch around 12-12:15pm. And it got really busy. Parking lot is huge and we easily found parking when we went there around 11:30am. Staff was attentive and quick. There was ample seating around the kitchen and in an area behind the kitchen. Highly recommended for a quick bite or an exhaustive meal.

Incense and pooja items.

Apna Bazaar has been operating since 2004. When I first moved to this area back in 2008, Apna Bazaar was one of the few Indian markets in the area. Over the years the market hasn't changed all that much except for a slight expansion in size and the addition of its connected restaurant called Apna Chaat Bhavan. Apna Bazaar carries fresh produce along with all types of Indian groceries. They have frozen foods, spices, snacks, incense and puja items, packaged foods, rice, noodles, pulses and more. The store is attractive and clean. There is good lighting. Apna Bazaar offers on-line ordering with same day delivery or free in store pick up. Delivery is free with a minimum purchase. When I looked at their list of product offerings on-line, they seemed to carry everything I needed today. Instead of placing the order, I decided to visit the store. This turned out to be the wrong decision since the store did not have any of the items I needed on their shelves. In fact the shelves were rather empty in many areas. So it seems that ordering on-line is the best way to shop at Apna Bazaar. I was not greeted or offered any assistance while I browsed the store even tho there were several workers on the floor. There was one cashier sufficiently handling all transactions. Prices seem consistent with other markets in the area. Apna Bazaar may be a good option for Indian groceries if you place an order on-line. But if you don't, I suggest you shop across the street.

Chai

This review is more so for the little restaurant attached to the grocery store. We came with the intent of just having some masala chai and we were not disappointed. The cups were small but lots of flavor. However, the tea was not piping hot but just warm so we were able to gulp it down quite quickly rather than take our time to enjoy it. The kitchen is closed from 2:30-4:30 so we didn't get a chance to try the fresh food but they did have a case of ready made puffs and pakora and just brought out some fresh Samosas so I ordered some onion pakora, a samosa and an egg puff. The egg puff and onion pakora, though tasty, was NOT warm at all and a room temp hard boiled egg can't be good. The onion pakora was really delicious but a bit oily. But again, the temp is dangerous. A few hours after eating... to spare you all the details... my stomach was doing some not so fun things. BUT I imagine these dishes hot would be perfect. They also provide chutney with the sides as well so that is very appreciated. I also appreciate that everything is priced very well. For all the snacks purchased, I paid less than $7. A great value in my opinion. I think the next time I come back, I'll stick with the freshly made from the kitchen menu.

Well, there is a difference .. Apna Baazar is a grocery store .. while the eatery section is Apna Chat Bhavan .. So, I would rather write about the grocery part here :) Apna bazaar is an Indian Store which means all those Indian things .. which are tough to find at a local super-mart are made available here. But will you find everything you are looking for? Yes and No !! things are there but up to an extent. What I mean is that they do have a good array of Indian things but if you have a meticulously prepared list with brand names as well, you might get a few misses by the end of your shopping. I wouldn't name but there is a bigger Indian supermart just a few hundred yards away and it would make this store rather timid in terms of size and also the variety that is there. Having said that, Apna Bazaar is not bad if you have just been coming here and haven't been to the other store. The food items are in plenty, all those masala's and ghee (clarified butter) and lentils and food mixes and raw Indian vegetables and even paan items (beetle leaves are eaten in India with tobacco as an addiction at a lot of places) are present for sure. Then they have a section for Indian utensils .. the pots and pressure cookers and all. Also, the puja samagri (things needed to pray in a Hindu ritual) has got its own section which is nice. All in all, for people like us, who live far far away from an Indian store anywhere near .. Apna Bazaar is still a deal good :)

Not exactly sure why Apna Chaat Bhavan doesn't have a listing on Yelp, but I'm too lazy right now to right that wrong. Know that this review is for the restaurant and not the market that is adjacent to said restaurant. Sue and I found out about this place from some friends. I normally don't get out to Beaverton. Previous to coming here I usually only came out to Beaverton for the good Asian cuisine to can be found out this way. Now I know there is good Indian out here too. Upon walking in we knew we were in the right place. Practically everyone here was Indian. That is usually a very good sign. There is nothing exotic about this place at all. The only thing that really stood out was that it was very clean. There are no descriptions of the food on the menu. We were told the Samosas were good from our friends. We ordered 2 chicken samosas ($2.49 each) and they came with some spicy chutney's on the side. A good way to start the meal. After looking online at what some of these dishes were I ordered the Aloo Baingan (Eggplant and potatoes cooked together with chaat bhavan special spices, $6.99). I had been out of the eggplant game for quite some time, but now I'm getting back into it. Can't really describe this. It seemed like it was very simple, but quite complex at the same time. A good find in Beaverton.

The market is superb. It's clean and well-stocked. I didn't get a chance to eat there, but it smelled great and the menu looked good.

first off, me and my family have been going to this market since i was little. that being said,…read moreback in the day there werent many asian markets to choose from. if youre thai, there are some items that manila market tends to carry that other larger asian markets dont. (the less popular items amongst other foreigners) and if you cant find it there, the viet/thai market down the road will most likely have it. as to the previous remarks about customer service, i'd have to say that i agree. it seems to be a family owned business, and i usually try to avoid too much interaction with the staff/cashier. they (or she) never seems to be in a good mood and i get the feeling that there is a major lack in drive to work or to run the market successfully. as for the unfair treatment based on ethnicity or race, i've witnessed it as well a few times and feel the distinction quite clearly - which is unpleasant and inexcusable being asian, we have never been asked to pay cash and she even gave us a free bottle of fish sauce when we spent over 30 dollars all in all, there are alot of better options nowadays to pick up asian groceries - manila has been bumped down to one of my last choices for asian grocery shopping. i only really go now when i need certain particular items that other places dont carry.

I don't want to talk badly but I will just say this; I will never step foot in your store again. You have great potential; prime location, competitive pricing but your customer service is extremely OFFENSIVE! Too bad for you, I love to shop at Asian grocery but NOT @Manila. 0/10 Ladies & Gents I suggest to shop at Uwajimaya, best customer experience! Or go to 99, Hmart..there are tons of alternatives.

I love Korean Supermarkets, I had fun shopping and browsing around at…read more G-Mart, although I wish I could bring back tons of stuff from here ( perishables) I can't wait to shop at my local HMart for some products that I've seen here, hopefully they carry them. G-Mart is huge, colorful, and messy in a way due to tons of products, parking is limited and parking lot is kind of confusing. We parked on the street the first time and the 2nd visit when I went back again to grab more stuff, we parked along the side since we couldn't find any open stalls. I don't know where to begin looking, upon entering, I head straight to the ramen section, which is my favorite/weakness! I noticed lots of new ramen brand that I haven't tried before, To sum it up, G-Mart has a great selections of all the Korean products you'll need. There are also fresh meats, produce and great assortment of ban chan and kim cheeee!! I killed 2 birds over here, dined at the restaurant upstairs and shopped here. What really caught my eyes and was happy to see while shopping here, I finally get to try ice cups (.99) which I used for packaged ice coffee, it was pretty cool to pour the drink in the cup ( from watching Instagram vids on Korean convenience store) Also the viral ice cream, so happy I get to try it here! That was some creamy, sweet & fancy viral ice cream, I also got to try frozen Kimbap, never tried it but seen those viral vids too. Besides those goods I got, I also bought a box of OFood seafood ramen, Turtle chips, seaweed, candies and cake. The Mala Turtle chips was really good, I hope to see them here. So Happy -feeling just like a kid at a candy store.... hehe. I heard from local that this supermarket use to be Paldo, Hmart, now Gmart. Not sure if same owner as Hmart but I do notice the Hmart adds, I am confused! hehe. Overall, I had a fun shopping experience here, love Korean products, great place to shop for your Korean goodies and groceries!

It's been a bit since I came back here. This time I bought some of their premade banchan. They…read moretaste pretty good for grocery store banchan. They have a variety of options from Napa cabbage kimchi to seasoned octopus. They also have some premade foods like kimbap. The kimbap was pretty decent had a good amount of filling. The store itself has variety of Korean products and ingredients.
