We were greeted with enticing scents as we entered. I could have stayed for just that! Unsurprisingly they were busy, but offered to seat us outside. We ordered to share, a vegetarian Thali dinner, a mushroom dish, and samosas. Tikka masala paneer was very tasty, but the palak paneer had a depth of flavor I haven't had with that dish before. There was plenty of food to share. I am really sad I forgot to take pictures, because it looked really good too. Despite it being crowded and sitting outside the server took good care of us. I will be back again. I have a few Indian food restaurants I enjoy, but this place outranks them all.

I ordered the chicken kati roll, a tikka bowl, and lemonade. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The kati roll was especially perfect well-seasoned, nicely wrapped, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The tikka bowl was also really good, with great balance of spices and textures. Even though I ordered to go, I couldn't help but notice how stunning the interior is. Honestly, I've rarely seen such a beautifully designed and spacious Indian restaurant. It's a perfect blend of modern style and authentic Indian décor, which gives it a unique and welcoming vibe. The place was spotless, and the staff were very friendly and helpful from start to finish. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, and the overall experience makes it worth a visit. Definitely recommend trying it at least once if you're in the area solid food, great atmosphere, and excellent service.

Stepping into it, it had great vibes with some trendy outdoor seating with heating and also some shielded indoor seating. You have to place the order with the cashier and hence there was a bit of a long line (also since online orders were also being served, it was impossible to gauge how long it would take for the line to clear up). Figuring out the menu proved difficult and hence I used yelp assistant which suggested a rice curry plate which came with 6 side dishes and rice and pappadam. Along with this, we ordered the stuffed rotis. The rice and curry plate had some similar flavors to south indian tamil cooking and all the flavors were interesting (especially that tangy mango chutney)! However, I felt that the food was over spiced and was really hot for my taste. We also tried their drinks and I felt it was seriously watered down. Overall, it was a cute spot and love the fact that they are fully vegetarian/vegan!

It was spicy, but not too spicy and had a great flavor. The portion size was also large on both items. The service was very good. The woman who seated me also served me my food and I paid my bill with her. She was very polite. I liked the ambience. The restaurant was decently sized, clean and comfortable.

**** We were…read morevisiting Portland with family and decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, the service left us thoroughly disappointed and put a damper on what was meant to be an enjoyable outing. We ordered butter naan, garlic naan, paneer tikka gravy, and daal tadka. A single staff member was responsible for taking orders, serving food, and managing the entire front of house. As a result, it was difficult to get her attention, and service was noticeably slow throughout our visit. The first issue arose when we received plain naan instead of the butter naan we had ordered. When we brought this to her attention, she insisted we had ordered plain naan, which was not the case. We asked if butter could simply be added to what we had, and it took another 10-15 minutes for this to be addressed. The second issue occurred when the butter naan finally arrived. We clarified that we hadn't intended to order an entire additional naan -- we had simply wanted a small amount of butter on the side to spread ourselves. She responded rudely, remarking that **"we were worried about being charged for an additional naan,"** . This entirely missed the point; our concern was avoiding unnecessary food waste, not the cost. We ultimately left a full, untouched naan on the table. While the food itself was reasonably good, the combination of slow service, an avoidable order mix-up, and an unwarranted rude response detracted significantly from the experience. Given the pricing, this level of service is simply not worth it. We would not recommend!
