Masala Box serves delicious food and plentiful portions. The saag was perfectly spicy and I would love to come back here again! Samosas were also super tasty :) read more

This place is simply amazing. The owners are the most down-to-earth & real people you could hope for and their food is made with LOVE! No joke. This is the real deal. I am glad folks like this still exist. You will get more than you paid for and it is 100% delicious. Did I mention that this place was inside of a mini mart? Yep. Real deal. If you want to have delicious Indian food for an affordable price and want to be treated with respect, this is your place. The Samosas were incredible too, buy them all. Cheers. read more

BEST INDIAN FOOD IN THE PORTLAND METRO AREA! Thank you so much for making the decision to buy and open up this hidden jewel! We appreciate the pride you have in your cooking to keep it small and made by you the owners. Unbelievable flavors! Each dish was packed with flavor and unique spices. We will be back as often as possible. Next time my husband and I will each order our own Chicken Paratha, since he ate most of it the samosas were excellent, so much flavor. Chicken Currry was amazing to have so many huge pieces of chicken thigh, and the flavor was rich! Chana Masala was original with a hint of cinnamon to set it apart. We are so glad we ordered the large so we can enjoy the left overs this week. To everyone out there, DO NOT LET the inside setting turn you off. Totally casual, just some tables and chairs and food served in to go containers. Believe me you will appreciate the value when you taste the high class restaurant quality flavor. Cant wait to call ahead and bring it home to the family! It is located on Arlington just past Portland Ave set back on the right. read more

Masala Box - Every dish is daily made by the owners themselves. Completely authentic and high class restaurant flavor - Indian Near Me - Gladstone, Oregon

This place a little hidden gem that my husband introduced me too! The service is outstanding. Husband and wife team and they know what they are doing in the kitchen! If you want flavorful and quality food - you must eat here! Atmosphere is alright, but like other reviews say...don't take a first date here, unless it's a test lol! read more

Absolutely hands down some of the best food to be had in the Portland area. Don't let the modest storefront fool you, this is a place of food wonder! Thanks Vijay for bringing such joy to my palate! read more

Small selection of really delicious food. Nice folks! Definitely try this place but take your food to go as it's more like a beer store inside. Bring your own containers! read more

It's rare to encounter a place that is a generous and personable as Masala Box. The owners took time to swap stories and explain the whole menu for our friends with dietary restrictions. Make sure to arrive hungry as their portions are LARGE. read more

Very good food and freshly made. It's not really a restaurant style place, just a few tables. The staff was very friendly, overall wonderful experience. read more

Great little place ! Great ambience and really lovely people ! Awesome menu and great tasting food ! Super happy I found this place

When we first walked into Masala Box, we did not know what to expect. Upon entering, Vijay greeted us with ear to ear smiles. He's the proprietor, advocate of the culinary arts and cook of this hidden gem located in Gladstone. We were visiting Portland and missed the taste of home, but were in search of something outside the confines of the busy Portland epicenter. With Yelp as our North Star, we came across this place. It was vividly apparent how much Vijay loved food. He was very accommodating and took into consideration of everyone's spice tolerance in my party. We decided to order one of everything. His menu is simple. The restaurant is great for grab and go. I particularly enjoyed the Shrimp Vindaloo. They were plump, cooked to perfection and engorged in an uber-flavorful sauce that sent my taste buds into overdrive. The Naan bread came out soft, buttered and crunchy in just the right places. The Saag was revelatory and a totally different take on what I've experienced in other Indian restaurants. For my vegetarian family, the FriChik Vindaloo evoked a texture of lamb, studded in and around a bath of red gravy. The samosas and chutney were some of the best I had. The spice blend in the potatoes was truly special. All in all a solid place for delicious, un-adulterated, no-frills and down home cooking. I'll be back in a heartbeat. read more

The owner is very friendly and seems to put a lot of effort into his food and business. Never have ordered something I didn't like. Taste is authentic and prices are very fair. Definitely a hidden gem read more

Enjoyed a nice dinner here while staying at the Holiday Inn Express down the street. The owners are great people and extremely friendly. The food is also excellent. read more

I am so happy with the take out food I just brought home from Masala Box that I want to send a review before I'm even done eating! Got Chicken Curry and Bat Masala (vegan) requested mild and naan and it is wonderful and so delicious. Perfectly spiced. Thank you so much! I'll be back and bring friends. read more

This restaurant is a gem. We moved into the area about 6 months ago and, outside of fast food, I've not found any restaurants nearby that I want to visit a second time, except Masala Box. Portion sizes are large, prices are reasonable and the family who owns/manages this place are great. read more

I love this place. Owner is a sweetheart. The food is different then what we usually get for this area; it's a nice change. Portions are huge for the price. read more

Such a hidden delight! Family owned and very generous! We ate very well here! All my favorite dishes presented quickly and kindly.

Food here is soooo good!! I ordered the small box and there was enough for dinner and lunch the next day! The owner is super nice and such a delight! I highly suggest eating here!! read more

The food was tasty, the owners were very friendly, but the menu is very limited, and the naan was really hard (stale?)

A while ago, my dad and I picked up our family's dinner here. We came in and smelled something AMAZING. We talked to the cashier and finally decided on like four boxes, some bread balls in syrup, and mango juice. Just before we left, the cashier happily offered me two candies, which I was very thankful for. When we got home, we ate our main course and drank our juice. I loved the meal, but especially the mango juice. The bread balls were great, too. I love this reastaraunt! read more

I love this place, very unexpected . Every single time I go in there I'm never dissapointed with the food, delicious, fresh and tasty .

It's a very small place but the food was excellent . Everything is prepared fresh and shrimp vindaloo was amazing .

I had been meaning to try this place for a couple of months as I moved to the neighborhood in December. I had looked at the prices online and thought it was a bit pricey, but then when I received the food I realized that it was plenty. My biggest complaint was that I ordered the vegan Bhat Masala. I was asked how spicy I wanted it (I had never been asked that before at an Indian food place), but I said medium. I use medium spice level for many places as a baseline. Well, the gentleman at the counter, who was very nice, told me it would take 25 minutes. I said that was fine and took my dog for a nice walk. I came back the and waited a couple of minutes. The food was ready and boy did it smell amazing. I get home and open the giant box of goodness and make a plate so my husband can eat some later. The first bit I thought to myself wow this is a bit spicy. But I continued to keep eating it, then I got to the point where my stomach and esophagus were burning and I stopped. My husband ate some too. I warned him that I thought it might have been too spicy, but he has a higher spice tolerance than me. It was too spicy for him too. I feel like maybe they accidentally made ours too spicy, or something happened to it. We wound up just eating the rice and tossing out the masala as it was so spicy it was inedible. I would like to try this place, but for the price and running the risk of it being too spicy. we may not. read more

Everything that I've ever had here has been delicious! And I think we've almost tried it all! Saag is my new favorite and the naan is to die for. Plus, the owners are the sweetest people, who take pride in their service and food! read more

Awesome authentic Indian food! Food and service were great! Husband and wife owned business and both are are very personable and caring. We're in town for Spring Break and my family wants to keep coming back to this place even when we're out of town venturing. If you like or love Indian food then don't miss this mom/pop Indian food spot! You won't regret it! read more

My absolute favorite place to eat in the area. The owners are incredibly kind and always recognize my father and I when we visit. This was one of the first places I came to eat after I moved to this area and it's been a staple ever since. Amazing portions of food for a great price and the flavor is through the roof. Great spice if that's your preference, but still amazing flavor on more mild food if not. read more

My husband and I thought we'd check this place out the other night, and I'm so glad we did! At first we thought it wouldn't be that good, as it appeared to be more of a tiny mini mart. But wrong we were. We had Shrimp Vindaloo and Chicken Masala that was SOOOO good! It was the real deal, without all the dairy add ons that we were schooled by the owners that wasn't traditional. We had a great conversation with the owners, and left there full and happy. We will definitely be back again! read more

They made a complete meal for 10 people with an hours notice and it was delicious. We'll defiantly go back. Order your food to go because the market's dine-in experience is bad, but the food was great. Also the Indian couple that helped me were pleasant, courteous, and professional. read more

Best Saag I've ever had, and vegan too! I just make sure to order it with no rice, since I don't eat white rice. The naan was also delicious too, made fresh to order so it does take a few minutes. This isn't a sit-down place, so just know before going into it that it's take-out. read more

This is an excelent restraunt. Amazing food; probably the best in Portland, great people, and your food is cooked extremely fast in large portions! The other great aspects are the prices, which is an amazing deal for all the food. My favorite is the saag, definitely the best in P-Town read more

GREAT TAKEOUT! If you are looking for AUTHENTIC Indian! this is the place!! The serving sizes are off the charts!! Big portions!

This hole in the wall is run by a very friendly couple, who provide several tasty options. We have both carnivores and vegetarians in the family and there is something for everyone here. The food was tasty and the portions big enough that we had leftovers for lunch the next day. This is mostly a take out place, though we were quite happy to eat at one of the tables outside. Next time we're in the neighborhood, we'll come back for more! read more

This little hole-in-the-wall spot has a limited menu but you will get things that you never see at the usual Indian buffet. But rest assured, you're getting some bomb-ass food. Super nice and hospitable service, as if they were your own parents happy to see you visit. If I'm in the area again, I am not skipping over this. read more

I don't understand the positive reviews of this place. The owner is no chef. This is a quickie mart that exists only for video poker, beer, wine, cigarette, and candy customers. The food was appallingly bad not fit for many living things to consume. I dumped it after a couple bites. Almost a week later and I am still trying to get the awful smell of the food out of my nostrils. No one should want to visit this location for a meal, but if you do I suggest asking to see the owner's food handler's card and county permit. His filthy apron should gross you out enough to avoid this weird little convenience store. The Walgreen's down the street has beer, wine, candy, and cigarettes btw. read more

What a treasure! The samosas with mint chutney are spot-on delicious and pair so well with the mango lassi. Definitely try the Madras coffee. I have had both the Saag and Chicken curry. Portions are generous and can be made for milder palates (my kids!). Mr. VJ, the owner, is welcoming, friendly and will happily explain the dishes if you have any questions. read more

The food was amazing! Strong flavor and spice, home cooked, and good value :) we had the chicken masala Curry and saag, both amazing. The owners are very kind and friendly. We will be back next time we are in the area :) read more

Fantastic couple running this down to earth mini mart/restaurant! Truly amazing home cooked Indian food at good prices for the quality and quantity that you receive. And yes, I said mini mart/restaurant, so don't go for the atmosphere. We had chicken curry masala, saag, rice, and naan, all of which were home cooked to perfection. The naan was flame cooked the way it should be, and the lovely owners both checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our food. We will be back for sure, and I highly recommend you check them out. Take out would be easy and eating in gives you the delight of getting to talk with the very nice owners if they aren't busy. read more

Amazing saag has complex, fabulous flavors. It is spicier than many other sagas I've had, but it's just outstanding. We can also recommend the salmon Vindaloo. And the chicken Masala!! And the samosas with the accompanying chutney!!! And the friendly, warm service!!!! We get our food as takeout and are impressed at the portion size. There are a couple of tables, but we like to eat it at home. Definitely worth the drive. read more

The cuisine is mini mart, the food is Michelin star, the price is garage sale. I highly recommend a mango lasse for desert.

Food was good, very authentic Indian food. They also give you ginormous portions which is good to feed a bunch of people.

We love this market! We could not have a friendlier business in our neighborhood. The food is amazing. I'm having the chicken soup right now and it is wonderful! My husband and I enjoy our neighborhood. S & K Market and it's proprietors are a tremendous bonus. read more
