As well as the mango chicken curry and the chicken was very tender and moist, cooked to perfection. It could have used more mango flavor though IMO. We also tried the boiled quail eggs, which are good but nothing very special about them. It's a nice atmosphere, I wish they had more outdoor seating for nice days but there are two small tables out front for dining. Service is very friendly and prompt. Parking around this area is always tough.

I visited another location 4 years ago during Covid and did take-out. Having enjoyed that…read moreexperience, we decided to try dine-in. A huge proportion of the menu is default vegan or can be ordered vegan, so we were spoiled for choice. We ordered: -Green Tea Lead Salad ($20) - spicy version -Ginger salad ($20) -Garlic noodles with tofu ($20) -Chickpea tofu curry ($23) -Stir-fried okra side dish ($8) Both salads were outstanding, with a wonderful array of crunchy textures, and great balance of sour and salty. The garlic noodles were a tad too salty, but otherwise tasty. The chickpea tofu curry was also fantastic, coming with a tomato-y sauce -- the tofu was firm and had wonderful texture. Service was a bit slow but friendly. Price level is pretty high compared to other Burmese spots in town. But the quality is there. Recommended.

The extensive menu was challenging to narrow down what to order, so we opted to share the Grand Meat Mezze platter and added the Baba Ghannouj option to it. The GMM platter includes 2 meats: Chicken Shawarma and Beef Kabob, and basmati rice, dolmas, tabouli, hummus, pita, and falafel. This variety plate was excellent. Every component was delicious, with surprising and noteworthy rice and the Baba Ghannouj that we added. Having every element be so tasty made the meal a true delight. If there was a low point, maybe it was the pita, but only because everything else was so well done. There was certainly some interesting people-watching in our window booth. Downtown Portland has a fair bit of flavor. Service was friendly and efficient. Being the only table at lunch (why?) surely helped that, but still always welcome. We'd love to come back and explore their menu further.

The crab fried rice is a fan favorite for good reason--it's flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. My personal favorites are the samosas and the roasted cauliflower, both of which are full of amazing spices and prepared with so much care. What really makes Nom Nom stand out, though, is the people behind it. The owners and chefs are genuinely welcoming and passionate about what they do, creating an atmosphere that feels just as memorable as the food itself. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, you're always treated like family. Great food, wonderful people, and a warm, inviting experience make Nom Nom one of my favorite places to eat.

I don't know if we came on a bad day or is it just bad?…read more We got the wings and they were so small that three of them would equal the same size of a wing at another proper place. But even worse, they were so dry that it felt like it was heated at 400° for 30 minutes. And for $16 that's horrific, I would say that this is like the wings you would find at a dive bar at 11 PM with no choices, and they would probably only charge you about $8 to $10. The Momo was just simply not good. We got the chili chicken and they were extremely small, over fried, and the sauce taste just like a store-bought, sweet thai chili sauce Lastly, we got the nacho for nacho week and oh my God was that a disappointment as well. It came out extremely cold, and it might be intended to serve not hot, but this was like straight out of the fridge cold. If you look at the pictures they have on the nacho week website, it looked nothing like it. It was a disgrace as it was probably 90% nacho in 10% everything else. If you split up the toppings, it would only need about four or five chips before you've exhausted all the toppings that came with it. Then you're left with 90% of just tortilla chips. I don't know how this place got so many good reviews but either this is a really bad day, but we got three separate dishes that were all bad, but I'm inclined to think that it's just simply bad.

I continue to go there all the time but I don't always see her there (which is fine, everyone has different shifts), but today when I stopped in, she was there and she let me know that she had again made kheer without pistachios just in case. 10/10 food, 10/10 customer service, and just like 20/10 experience. Also, I appreciate how they have a variety of dishes there to choose from every day (there's always a few different meat dishes and a few different veggie dishes and then there's also always something tasty that has been fried, like samosas or pakora, and naan).

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.
