    Wow! I was so lucky to be in this neighborhood today and find Namaste Bazaar. From reading previous Yelp reviews I knew they had groceries but I had no idea what a fun experience this was going to be. They had an entire section of Indian suits, jewelry and slippers. The store space is shared 50/50 with a company selling beautiful clothing and foods from Tonga. It is very clean, open, and spacious. I met a few owners and employees who were so friendly and welcoming. But the absolute highlight was to see the cooking/dining area. I ordered my lunch and sat down to eat. I was in heaven! There is nothing like authentic, homemade food from women who share a kitchen space together :) I hope no one was looking while I was eating because my face was ridiculous, it said it all, lol! Thank you Namaste Bazaar!

    Ample portions!

    The Punjabi dessert was excellent, and I normally don't like crumbly-type desserts. The counter gal was so nice.

    Sidewalk food that was just unloaded from a truck and put onto the sidewalk.   It's going inside to be cooked now.   Pretty gross.

    Interesting store. I have been in a few times. I have been tempted to try some of the food but after seeing this today I am not sure I want to come back. I was parking my car in their side lot. They were unloading food from a truck and then putting the food directly on the sidewalk. Please see the attached picture for proof. Not this looks like new cement but if they are in the habit of putting food on the floor/ground I am not going to put faith that they haven't been doing it for a long time.

    This place seems much smaller now compared to the posted photos from a year ago. They do carry a limited selection of Indian grocery items along with some clothing and accessories. But the real reason for coming here is the restaurant area. It serves some pretty good Indian food. The gravy in my navratan Korma was tasty. There is a small seating area. Worth trying if you're in the area.

    Rice, Malai kofta, lamb koorma, Pakora! Yum!

    Excellent garlic nan. Score on the flavor and consistency. The pakora were heavenly bite-sized pillows with perfect chutney accompaniments. The lamb koorma was exceptional and the malai kofta was wonderfully creamy. Delivery was swift and everything arrived hot. Will definitely be ordering again!

    Great deal for the money! I got two veggie sides, butter chicken, rice, and a mango lassi for $11. Food is not made to order so it will arrive at your table in five minutes or less. If you are looking for a really quick meal then this is the place for you. In fact the server described their food as "fast food". It definitely is that. The highlight of my meal was the butter chicken (very tender and juicy), rice (perfectly cooked with pomegranate kernels sprinkled on top), and the mango lassi. I took a star off because this is the most bland Indian food that I've ever had! I didn't see any sauces on the counter next to the self-serve plastic forks and napkins or I would have used it because other than the cilantro and raw onions sprinkled on top the food was almost tasteless. Also it was a little weird that there was no music or any other sound except for the server playing on her phone two tables away from me as I ate.... So yes, very fast fast food, smiling service, large servings, but very bland. Maybe get the food to go so you can add your own spices.

    Samosa Chaat! So good!

    Definitely a hidden gem in Portland! After exploring all the famous and delicious food destinations, a mere tourist like me would've never expected to end up here. Actually, we wound up here by accident after visiting Multnomah Falls and needed a late lunch at 3pm. Don't let the environment fool you. It's in an open section of a small Indian grocery store, where at first glance everything looks pretty cheap or run-down. But the lady at the counter was really nice and greeted us when we entered (there was almost no one here, since it was mid-afternoon). The menu has a good selection, and everything is vegetarian. Mehran got the TIKKI CHAAT, which is probably the closest representation of meat...or what I meant to say is that it's just as good as meat. The spices are really well blended and the protein texture is spot-on. Sherry got the VEGETARIAN DELIGHT with 3 different sauces/curries. Our favorite was the one with peas/potatoes, chickpeas was a safe choice, least favorite was the daal. I ordered the SAMOSA CHAAT and that was the best samosa I ever had. It had a flaky crunchiness and good filling-to-shell ratio. Both the Tikki and Samosa Chaat included a ton of ingredients - protein, chutney, other things I don't recognize - there was so much going on but it was so good. The portions are really generous and the dishes are ~$7. Such a great deal! Also, I recommend ordering a MANGO LASSI. It's by far the best I've ever had (and only $2)!

    Being able to get buffet to go is great! Always nicely spicy without melting my face, and flavorful. Great in-a-hurry Indian.

    More mediocre Indian food in Portland. The buffet is where it's at for value. The buffet has a wide selection but quality is average.

The potato pakora is just straight up fried dough. I thought the first time it was a mistake with my vegetable pakora that they messed up the cook, but these are just as bad. Neither time I ordered pakora was it ACTUALLY pakora. It doesn't even resemble anything I've EVER had anywhere else in 20 years. When I say this is bad, this is baaaaad. The vegetable samosas are MUSH with undercooked dough. Never have I ever had vegetable samosas that are basically fried mashed potatoes. This is SO disgusting I can't eat it. It's so hard to screw up samosas and yet they somehow managed to do so. No whole peas. Nothing even resembling a piece of potato. Just...MUSH. The rice was massively overcooked, dry, and crunchy. I'm so embarrassed for them. You all should be ashamed to sell this mess.

I came with three friends for lunch; we all placed individual orders then took our numbers (on a small standup sign) back to our table to chat and enjoy the day. Soon food came for the two men in our party, and we women encouraged them to eat rather than wait on our food. So eat they did, and in another 10 or so minutes more food arrived, but not my order. After a short discussion we realized that my food had been given to one of the men, and he had eaten it; now the food he actually ordered arrived, leaving him with two meals and me with none. Our server seemed to think it was our fault that we got the wrong food, and brought me a roti to eat but never replaced my meal. I was not pleased to have spent $17.50 for a serving of roti, which wasn't exactly the lunch I had paid for. I think i wpuld have liked the food if I'd had a chance to eat what I ordered. it would be most appropriate for the restaurant to refund my money since, through no fault of my own, I did not receive the food I paid for. It was the server who mistakenly put my food down elsewhere, and my friend who ate it had no idea it wasn't his. Unfortunately there was not so much as an apology, and I won't be returning to Mirasata.
