Shahi Paneer
Varsh P.

Food is still amazing. I visited this place after a year. The setup has changed but food quality and quantity is still the same. I recommend to try paneer dishes as the paneer was super soft in shahi paneer and paneer pakora.

Mango Lassi
Fernando G.

This place truly lives up to the great reviews! The staff was friendly, the food came out quick (like "woah, it's ready already?" quick), and, most importantly, tasted fantastic. Even if you're familiar with the area it can be easy to miss this spot, but once you go you'll point it out (and crave it) every time you drive by I ordered the lamb samosas, Malai Kofta, goat vindaloo (not pictured), garlic naan, and a mango lassi. I ordered both the kofta and vindaloo with medium heat, which did not overpower the flavors but did make me sweat a bit! The lassi wasn't too sweet and balanced both the mango's flavor and yogurt's tang with some subtle spices (I think turmeric). The naan was perfectly flaky and crisp, genuinely the perfect bread accompaniment. The rice was seasoned too, which gave it its own flavor (not a filler like it is at other places) Hands down the best Indian food I've ever had and one of the best meals I've ever had in general. I'll be coming back soon!

Garlic Naan
Taisiya S.

I think I need to come try more dishes before I really decide but I came here last night and ordered take out. The bread was really good. We had the garlic naan and the gobi paratha and both were really tasty. The veggie samosa was good. However the Bhindi masala and the Aloo Gobhi were just ok. I would like to try some other dishes. Also they had a fish that was called potato fingers and I only ordered it because I pictured something else and it turned out to be french fries! My photos unfortunately are not the best as it was takeout and not plated there. The place is a small hole in the wall but there had a few people and the enclosed area outside was warm and dry.

Garlic naan
Andilee J.

Such great Indian cuisine! This is a go-to spot for takeout. In restaurant dining is awesome too in the quaint space. Outdoor seating also for the summer months. Great customer service! Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are the usual orders. Garlic naan is a must and don't pass on the veggie samosas with the mint chutney!

The outdoor enclosure is toasty and warm despite the cool damp weather outside

This place needs better signage, but has great food and nice staff. Even after following my maps directions from my phone, I wasn't sure I was at the right place until I walked around the building. I walked into the enclosed outside area which had heaters on the ceiling, making it toasty and warm despite the outside damp coolness. I approached the register and was handed menus and told to sit wherever I'd like, so I seated myself under one of the heaters to get warm. I decided to have the saag paneer and some garlic naan along with a masala chai tea. (Only the chai tea was actually on the menu, but other tips and reviews had mentioned how good the saag paneer and garlic naan were) A huge carafe of water came out first followed by silverware and napkins, and my chai tea. Soon after, the saag paneer and accompanying Rice was brought. The garlic came in a basket a few minutes later. Everything looked and smelled delicious, and it was. I could've used a little bit of salt, but I like a lot of salt, so most people would not need it. The chai tea was perfect, warm and sweet. The garlic naan was crisp yet still fluffyand well seasoned. The saag was creamy and delicious. After eating, I decided to try the Kheer for dessert and it was also wonderful.

Guri and the boys cooked up the best tikka masala, butter chicken and mango chicken I've ever had. Amazing food and great service. Would recommend

Excellent authentic Indian food. We enjoyed all of our dishes, not too greasy and spiced just right.

MUSE Cheesecakes - Mini cheesecake

MUSE Cheesecakes

3.5 mi•Buckman, Belmont, Southeast Portland

Muse cheesecakes make my heart sing and gets me doing a happy dance. I first heard of Muse…read morecheesecakes through instagram. She offers durian cheesecake. Whaaaat? Yep, you heard me right. Durian cheesecake!!!! I am Vietnamese-Cambodian and durian is my jam. I love its pungent goodness in all forms -- pure and un-doctored straight from the prickly shell, ice cream, smoothie, topping on mashed avocado dessert and now.. CHEESECAKE! ohhh my goodness. My heart. I have returned so many times and buying extra slices (possibly buying out her supply for the week...) to share with my family and friends, who have all raved about the cheesecake from here. Durian isn't her only flavor though. She has so many creative flavors and I've noticed she's had comfort flavors from different cultures. To top it off, the owner, Kiana, is a wonderful lady. She is a one woman team and is kicking butt at her game from what I've gathered in the short time I've known her. She could be dead tired, but always has a smile on her face. I almost forgot to rave about her TARO BURGER on a vegan bun. I don't know how frequently she makes them, but if you see it being offered, do yourself a favor and get it. The portion is quite large so be prepared for leftovers. Unfortunately for me, my carnivorous sister gobbled the other portion of my burger right up and didn't even miss her meat. It comes with a vegan mac salad on the side. I am not one to enjoy mac salads usually, I think it's due to the mayo (not a mayo fan), but I actually liked this version. I forgot to take a picture of the burger before it all got inhaled. Sad face.

After drooling over their Instagram, I knew I had to go. To my dismay I arrived at something that…read moredidn't look like it was a cafe or even opened. I wasn't even sure I was at the right place, thought they were still transitioning from one location to another. Until someone who shared the kitchen popped out. I was told that I should order online and come by for pick up, and was strongly urged to do so because these cheesecakes were really good. When I saw that they were doing a contactless store front, I knew I had to go. This was my opportunity to try it. I texted the owner to ask if the flavor I had my eye on was available. I was halfway there before the owner responded that they had one slice of pandan cheesecake left. There are multiple forms of payment with a card reader, and various apps to pay with online which made this a breeze. The owner Kiana, even popped to introduce herself which I thought was so nice! The flavors here aren't your typical strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter cheesecakes, even though she does offer some variation of them. There's pandan, ube, lemongrass, ginger mango, passionfruit, matcha, guava, pineapple raspberry, and I heard she even cooks up something with the pickle brine from the other business that operates in that kitchen. I thought this would be one of those situations where the food won't look like the picture. The pictures are obviously styled, they look stunning. Nope! The food looked just like what was on Instagram. I am a long time lover of cheesecake, dare I say it's my favorite of the cakes. The condensed milk ube mirror glaze was a lot thicker than I thought it would be and held its form. It wasn't runny and goopy. Loved that it wasn't a sticky mess. The crust was very very thick, I've always wanted more crust on other cheesecakes. On the description, it says it's "jasmine scented almond shortbread cookie crust" slightly saltier than most crusts I've had, but still very enjoyable. I've only had the traditional graham cracker crust and I'm afraid this almond shortbread crust has ruined all other cheesecake crusts for me. I have been disappointed at a lot of places using pandan, because the flavor just wasn't there, not Muse cheesecakes though. Pandan was present indeed. I would have loved if it was a little stronger, but I think that would have overpowered the cheesecake. Each component of the cheesecake are so different and complex on its own. They come together in delicious harmony to make this beautiful slice. I grew up with a lot of Vietnamese food and pandan has a very special place in my stomach.. heart! I've never seen jasmine used outside of tea and condensed milk outside of Vietnamese iced coffee. Kiana definitely has a way with these ingredients and she's a cheesecake goddess! I really can't wait to try the calamansi, Ube, and whatever else is getting cooked up in this delicious kitchen.

Plenty of places to sit for solo diners to large-ish groups. Much of the seating is covered, and heated when the weather calls for it, and everything is kept clean. But people likely come here for the food, and this place doesn't dissapoint. There is a huge variety, from waffles, to Thai, to Sushi, Fish & chips, Mexican and so much more. There is even a bar in the back. I have to give a shout out to Smaaken Waffle Sandwiches. My partner had the chicken and waffle sandwich, and they were pretty happy about it. I had the Kid size PB & Bananas with honey, and OMG it was nummy. I took home half because it was a large serving. The waffles were perfect: crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. If you enjoy food cart dining, (or just haven't found a place you like), I encourage you to try this elevated cart dining experience. *I would caution people with mobility issues to not use the entrance at the corner, and use one of the other entrances instead.

It features diverse, global cuisine such as Lebanese, Mexican, Korean, Thai and more. I couldn't decide what to have. I circled it 3 times. So many options. It's vibrant and friendly vibes. Many vendors have phone texts option to alert you the food is ready. I enjoyed a lot. I could see myself go back to try more things.

This place is dangerous - you've been warned…read more TOFFEE The butter toffee is dynamite. I'll be sharing bags of this to my besties over the holiday season. It tastes like it was made with love so I'll be sharing the bag. PEANUT BRITTLE I'm obsessed with the peanut brittle, but it does have corn syrup in it, so small doses for me. It's crunchy, salty, and sweet. It's everything. But, I don't think my friends will eat it unless I take it out of the bag. I'd rather not share than to deceive. I do appreciate that the ingredients are on the bag though and have no buyers remorse. COOKIES I really like their cookies and appreciate the complementary cookie I received. My favorite is the white chocolate nutter butter. Also the 2oz chocolate chip; it was buttery, crispy and chewy in all the right places. I'm not a big chocolate fan but I like chocolate. This was perfect for me, but awakened my inner Cookie Monster. I love that they have 4oz and 2oz cookies. 2oz is a solid choice for me but the kids enjoy bigger cookies. Bottom line: I think you're gonna like this place if you haven't been here already.
