The lamb curry is wonderful. Excellent flavour with a nice kick. Samosas are also very good. Food tastes more home-cooked and was not too greasy, salty or rich. The food was delicious and I felt nourished, rather than gross and bloated. Highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible, flavors and spices were seriously top tier. From the first to the last bite you can tell the time put into perfecting an authentic, delicious meal—nothing was dry and the meat fell straight off the bone. I have always wanted to find a family owned and operated Indian cuisine and I’m glad I stopped by, well worth it to stop by even if you’re just a tad hungry and grab a samosa (best I’ve had) or their rice and lentil sides. I hope people appreciate them as much as I do, and to the chef - never stop or change anything for the chicken masala. I can tell the love that went into making it.

I was blown away by the flavors. I asked for a little bit of everything and I wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. It seemed that when I walked in I wasn't in Portland anymore, but like I stepped into a cafe in India. The service was quick and the portions were generous. I recommend the chicken curry, or at least that what I'll be having the next time I stop by. If you're craving Indian food, this is the place to go.
