Even though claiming the name of the country in it’s restaurant name and using the cuisine for monetary benefits, The map of India is misrepresented on the doors, the owner/management is clearly hurting the Indian clientele sentiment.

Mango lassi is what I was DESPERATE for after three days in bed w food poisoning. The only thing that sounded good — or even keep-down-able. The first restaurant I tried handed me a pre-fab one in a plastic bottle from a factory. It was kind of warm. I was very sad.So I came here, next closest, after calling to make sure it wasn’t bottled. They said they made it here. It’s COLD. Better. The lady at the counter was so nice (and the a.c. too! ) that I ordered food as well, and am enjoying the nice cool room and listening to the little kids from a huge Indian family chasing each other around the otherwise empty dining room in the midternoon sun. Ahh…here’s my food — time to go!

Liked the place when it had full sit-down dining with table service. It's pretty much a takeout place now & you can eat from a styrofoam container. Might as well visit the food cards instead.

One of the best Indian spicy food that I had in a while. If you are looking for a very spicy food, do visit this place and order extra spicy in all your food, you will love it.

Poor value for the money. Their website gives no prices. You can ignore any photographs of menus you see on Google, since the prices are much higher in reality. The photos must be years old.When I ordered they kept offering me many add-ons, but I stuck with just my basic dish with rice. The bill was $17. The portions weren't particularly large, and the cooking was pretty average. I ordered medium spicy and it was bland and not very spicy, so that was also a disappointment. If it wasn't for the high prices for what you get, this would be a 3 star review.Tip - a couple miles away downtown on 4th street there are some Indian food carts that will serve you a full meal with naan, rice and an entre for half this price.This is the only Indian place I've ever ordered from where they felt they needed to explain to me that Naan is a type of bread. I guess they don't get many customers who are already familiar with Indian food and maybe that explains the inflated prices.Note that as of this writing they offer take out for dinner, and only have dining during lunch.

Delicious Indian food. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of atmosphere but it's one of my favorite takeout spots in the area. It's always easy to call in an order. Good portions and lots of vegetarian-friendly options. The Channa Goa Curry is my favorite.

I just moved to the area and am so happy to have a place close by where I can get good Saag! My only complaint would be the naan. It’s just a bit thin.

Loved the lunch thali here. Simple and tasty food served hot.

So.. I used to go to the one in Hillsboro and met the owners back in 2015/2016. LOVED their food. It closed, so I was sad nd found another place. Well, today I realized this location is the same as the Hillsboro one! I was so excited! Ordered Lamb and veg samosa, saag paneer, Lamb vindaloo, chicken goa curry and garlic naan. It was absolutely nothing like it was at the Hillsboro location all those years back. I asked for spicy, nothing was AT ALL spicy. It was all actually very bland and sort of sweet. The Mango Lassi had a weird chili after taste that was not pleasant, but maybe they thought I meant spicy Mango Lassi? Cause that's the only thing that remotely tasted like chili. Don't know what happened to this restaurant over the years, but it's the most bland Indian food I have had in a long time.. And I'm not saying it was just not chili spicy. It had almost 0 spices in it. Everything was like that.. And my expectations were high based on my previous experience. I am so incredibly disappointed.. Wasted $100 in food that we won't eat because, to be frank, it sucks. I'm mad. I feel duped. I still have a hankering for Indian food because this place was so so bad. If you know what authentic Indian food tastes like, foodie beware. This isn't even close.
