We get takeout about once a month. Value for food feels right. Our favorite dishes: -Goat biryani -Apollo fish -Paneer tikka masala -Samosas Some feedback: The spice level of the biryani can be inconsistent The wait is almost always longer than what they quote for pickup duration Samosa is sold out/unavailable half the time The wait area is crowded with little structure, and squeezed further by the handful of tables on the side read more

One of my go-to Indian cuisine places. The food is really good here. Tried their biryani's, curries, meals, bakery items, sweets, chat, variety of dosa's etc. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is if you are a chat lover, I wouldn't recommend this place for chat. Otherwise, a great place for biryanis and other items. The service is good and the ambiance is good. They expanded their place inside if you want to enjoy your food while watching TV. The grocery store is right beside it and you can do both at the same time. read more

Apna Chat Bhavan - Indian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This place deserves all the stars! We love eateries attached to grocery stores; somehow they're always guaranteed to be amazing. This eatery was recommended to us by my Indian faculty, and as soon as we entered we knew the rec was solid. Nearly every patron was of South Asian descent, the dining area smelled phenomenal, and every table was piled high. Just look at the serving of biryani!! Goat, the flavor we chose, is only available Friday - Sunday. We also ordered a chicken curry because why not and also delicious. The lassi was thick and creamy and not too sweet. Can't wait to return to try the whole menu. read more

Got some food for takeout and they're delicious! Great portion on the Goat Briyani, which was also very tasty, spicy, and full of goat meat. The Palak Paneer was also tasty with soft paneer. Wish the curry was more chunky though. The Tikka Masala was good too. The chickens were tender as well. Overall, this was a great casual spot with delicious and filling food attached to a grocery store. read more

The veg biryani was my favorite, great quantity and at a very reasonable price The Samosa was too soft for my liking, and the filing didn't have much, so would definitely pass The Pav bhaji was decent, very authentic and fresh It is self serve, you order at the counter and you'll pickup once it's ready, but they do have tables and a theater room where you can dine. The ambiance of that theater room is nice for sure read more

This is a real deal South Indian place. It's in an office park in Beaverton, and has a market built in. The menu is extensive - unless you're from India, I'd suggest looking before you go. It's a no-nonsense counter situation - you order your food, you get a buzzer, and you get buzzed as your dishes come out. I had the bhel puri, which I loved back when I used to go to Vik's Chaat House in Berkeley. It's a puffed rice dish with tamarind and potatoes. I also got the non-veg thali platter, which is basically a sampler with dal, soup, curries, yogurt, rice, chapati, and dessert. Overall, it's a great experience and clearly embraced by the South Indian community. read more

Came here with a party.of seven. We enjoyed our meal outside which was quiet, clean and convenient. It was about 5:15 on a Sunday evening with a steady stream of customers. It's order at the counter,.so study the menu before you arrive. If you don't know what you want they can help you. You can also order online while you are in the store. You will be greeted by A massive.double case of dessert choices. Eat first then decide about dessert. We ordered to eat family style. It was all excellent. We had ander, Pakora, masala dosa, butter chicken,.and goat curry. It was.all excellent. Service was fast and efficient..attached to the restaurant is a store to pick up some of your favorite Indian food. read more

Food here is a hit or miss. Chapattis that came were not fully cooked. On the other hand Uttapam was pretty good. Chicken curry was poor, Paneer Karahi was great. The rice of Chicken Briyani was fresh and aromatic but the chicken pieces were average. The service speed varies with what you order. I got myself Uttapam which took a good 20 minutes. They would give you Briyani in 5 minutes. The dining area doesn't feel that hygienic. read more

My friend and I were there for lunch yesterday. Ordered Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa with filling on the side. The masala dosa was not cooked properly soggy and filling was inside the dosa. Sambhar was watery and dosa, Sambhar nor the filling had any salt. They were absolutely flavorless. Potato filling was big chunks of boiled potatoes not even mashed properly. Coconut chutney had zero coconut flavor. It tasted like it was made with stale daal. My friend complained to the manager who was nice enough to remake our orders. This time the dosas were crisp but tasteless like before. Same with the filling. Sambhar was a bit better. Coconut chutney was stale and the same. It was a very disappointing experience. We will not go back there for dosas. read more

In a sort of nondescript building, this market and Indian cafe deli is a hidden gem. We were looking for some Indian food and having a hard time finding something with dine-in and open Monday evenings, and this place was where we (luckily) ended up. Got here and there was a bit of a line to order at the counter. The menu is on some screens as well as a laminated menu, but the laminated menu included some items they didn't currently have. Line moved quick - we ordered rava masala dosa, butter chicken, and kadai paneer. At the last second we added an order of medu vada. Food came out as it was prepared, we had a little buzzer to notify us when to go for pickup. Everything tasted delicious and we wished we weren't staying in a hotel so we could take back leftovers. Was fun to also walk around the market! read more

By far the best South Indian food in town! They're always crowded but service is fast. South Indian food tends to be on the spicier side but the dishes are all terrific! The Gobi Manchurian, chicken majestic, and South Indian Thali are all incredible and flavorful - they travel well. They have indoor seating and a charming ambience that is nice during lunch time and also have an Indian grocery store from which you can pick up unique and flavorful spices and condiments! If you're in the area and crave done spicy South Indian cuisine, this of the place to go! Don't miss their puff pastries!! read more

The food is fantastic and there's always lots of people here. That said, when you order food online and request a certain time to pick it up, and it's approved for that time, there should be no reason why that food isn't ready when you're there to pick it up. I waited 50 minutes to get my food, which had been ordered an hour earlier. They were nice enough to add another meal for the inconvenience. Good thing since they neglected to put in one of the meals I actually ordered. Here's a suggestion - make your take-out times for after 1:00 since the lunch hour is an absolute chaotic mess! read more

Apna Chat Bhavan - These people arrived AFTER I got there and were served before me. - Indian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants. It has the Indian groceries and produce on one side and cooked food and sweets on the other. I've tried a variety of items from the goat biryani, dosa, goat curry, samosa to sweets and drinks. Every dish is packed with intense flavors and every mouthful is delicious. I love how consistent they are with the portions as well as the taste. I always get the food to go and the container that holds the biryani has to be wrapped in glad wrap because it holds so much biryani that it might possibly spill over if not secured. I get 4 meals out of the biryani, that's how big the portion is and I don't eat sparingly either. The only downside is they are always so busy that it takes a while sometimes 45 minutes to get your food. If you call in a phone order, be prepared to be put on hold as they navigate between in person and on the phone customer. The staff are really efficient and friendly. Go here, you will not regret it. Best Indian food in all of Portland Beaverton area. read more

Well that's it. This place has been so hit or miss for me.And I really love the food, but this is like the fourth time that they've made me late to something Waiting for them to prepare my food. I totally get that.It's the day before Thanksgiving.... And they are always running late, so I give them the benefit of the doubt.And I try calling to make sure my food is ready before today, I called three times and got put on hold to a length that I could not wait anymore. I headed over there thirty five minutes after my food was supposedly supposed to be done.Expecting that they would be running late and I still had to wait five minutes for them to finish cooking it. If I was gullible and a normal person and actually went over there when my food was supposed to be ready I would have had to wait forty minutes or cancel my order. Seriously?If you cannot keep up with the volume, don't take the online orders. In addition, I am so tired of going in there and tasting incense.In my mouth for the next hour after I leave and even the bag of food smells like it. Like seriously enough with the incense. But that was the last straw.I will never order from this place again read more

This Cafe style restaurant sharing the space with the supermarket feels super authentic. When visiting any ethnic food place, I look to see if the customer demographic represents the region, and this place has all the indicators in place. The thali here is fantastic, both non-vegetarian and vegetarian. I also see a lot of dosa being ordered, so that's something that I've also enjoyed. I don't recommend take away for the dosa, as it softens quickly and loses the crispness that you get to enjoy while on site. Some of the chicken dishes are bone-in, so just be mindful of that. Service is lackluster from time to time, but good enough for me to recommend friends to visit this place over and over. read more

This place has the BEST chicken 65 dosas ever. Whether you go in the early morning for a delicious treat for lunch (expect a 20 minute wait - it's is not fast food, it's homemade and delicious) or order for take out - a little longer of a wait, it is definitely worth it. I also got the vegetable puff, delicious and vegetarian. The pastries are also great especially if you're in need of a sugar fix! The staff is efficient and they get your food to you as quickly as they can - you can tell this is a very busy place so keep that in mind, patience is a must to get to eat this amazing cuisine! read more

We were in the area and decided to make a detour from our normal Indian place (Indian Connection) to try out Apna Chat. Ample parking and seating with a clean interior, we were excited to try it. Ended up getting a mango lassi (YUM), butter chicken (really good), chicken tikka masala (really good flavor but the chicken has bones, so that was a big knock on it), a couple samosas (great), and they don't have naan bread so we got chapati bread (it was just ok). All in all, I'd give it 4 stars. But without naan bread and with bone-in chicken, I think I'll pass next time and go back to Indian Connection. read more

It's not a restaurant it's not a hole-in-the wall, in some ways it is an Indian grocery store's deli section except that it occupies about half the grocery store. But what it has going for it is great value, great portions and a whole host of ethnic nationals going in there! To me that screams authenticity. The options are fairly vast with a larger offering of vegetarian, dishes many of which you could find if you ate at an Indian lunch buffet. I saw many couples just ordering one dish it was so large it could easily feed two people and apparently does. The combo is dine in only which makes sense with so many different varieties. As you can see from my attached photo, unless you're starving you'll be hard-pressed to finish it. The spicy options definitely had a strong amount of heat, and the butter chicken was nice and fresh with an entire chicken thigh. All in all really tasty great value great portions in a very laid-back setting, I'm a fan. read more

That 3 star rating is wrong-- this place is awesome Indian Street food. Soooo many options to choose from and the flavor is absolutely insane! The only small things that went wrong were 1) they were out of numerous dishes we tried to order (which I usually do understand because it shows they're cooking fresh) but really 2) we ordered two puffs, which we wanted to take home for later, and didn't receive these with our meal (and didn't realize until we left). But otherwise, yea this place is pretty perfect, super flavorful, big portions & very fast! read more

On the way back home, I stopped to check this bazar/restaurant out and while I'm usually disappointed by white-washed flavors, this joint did not disappoint! I didn't even ask for my Gongura chicken to be made extra spicy (started doubting for a sec while waiting) and they still kept it authentically flavorful with actual peppers. The cakes, chicken & mutton puffs are sending me to heaven rn. Also, amazed at how affordable most menu items are, especially the CAKES omg. It's not hard to believe why this place is always busy with South Asian customers. The wait is SO worth it. Got me checking out some "LEGENDARY JHINGA" (Turia) and other South Asian produce in the meanwhile. Authentic South Asian joints should be everywhere tbt. Flavor ho to aise! read more

What kind of brain dead system is this, when the lady answers the phone and asks me to wait for 2 minutes and makes me listen to others placing orders at the store for 5 mins straight. If you can't take the order don't answer the phone. Or don't give commitments you can't keep like, can you wait for 2minutes? WHAT A NIGHMARISH EXPERIENCE!! Never calling this place again. read more

The food here is full of deep rich flavors and everything we got was of fantastic quality. The medu vada came with two very tasty dipping sauces. The chicken 65 was just popping with flavor. The tikka masala was one of the best I've ever had, creamy and rich. The goat curry too was of the highest quality. We just had two minor issues with our experience. Firstly the ordering is a little odd, if you order online they text you when they start making the food but not when it's done. And the organization at the counter was a little confusing but we got our food in the end. The other issue was the spice level. I typed in the instructions "Extra spicy" but these dishes were definitely in the mild-medium range. It's a pity because the goat curry especially could have been so much better wifh the heat turned up a few notches. read more

I have had only their masala dosa here and it was decent but not the best. It is difficult to find places with good masala as this one was a little bit watery and caused the dosa to get a little bit soggy where it was touching. However the rest of the dosa was thin and crunchy. The accompanying tomato and coconut chutneys and sambar were good. As a dosa lover, it is difficult to find the same dosa's I have had in Tamil Nadu, but this would probably be good option for Portland. The price is decent and portion is quite large. The atmosphere is very casual and reminds me of a crowded canteen.. In the past I have ordered veg biriyani but they have given me goat/lamb biryani which was disappointing since I don't eat either. By the time I realized this, I was already home. Usually this place is busy and they move fast, so I would recommend to check order to make sure it is correct as this almost happened a second time! Also many of the menu items listed are unavailable, so it would be good to confirm beforehand if looking for specialty curries. Overall this is a decent dosa/South Indian place for Portland standards. read more

Apna Chat is a go to for Indian food cravings! Not gonna lie, I'm a fan of their Goat biryani which really is G. O. A. T! We have tried Pav bhaji, Medu vada, Dosa, Uttapam, Noodles, and everything is delicious. Special mention : South Indian Coffe it is as close as you can get to the authentic coffee you get in south India. The service is quick, the spice levels are taken care of, you get extra raita if you ask for it. The ambience is decent but we choose to order to go, so we can relish the food even on the next day. Trust me, it's that good, happy lunching! :) read more

Been visiting this place for about 4 years now.. sometimes for quick evening Indian snacks and sometimes for a dinner or lunch. This place is consistent with its taste of food.

Ordered couple of goat biryani for pick up, At the beginning tried calling the restaurant and waited for atleast 20 min for someone to pick the call ! Here's the actual drama started , I've been informed that pick up will be ready in 30 min at 2:58 PM , waited in parking lot till 4:15 PM that's when I picked my food ! Taste wise biryani is good but the service sucks , atleast hoped for someone to tell they're out of goat biryani and it takes time !! If you're planning to order biryani , please allow yourself 90 mins prior to the ordering! Hope this helps fellow Yelp reviewers !! read more
