    Food is good, yet, they never ever get the order right in al of the times I have been coming here. Not to mention the food always comes out of the kitchen at random times. Love the people and food

    The Kati roll is the unofficial signature dish of this restaurant, specializing in Indian street food.

    Love this place, food is awesome. There is little service in the place but the ambience is wonderful. This was my first trip to their new place

    Great Indian food, overall not super spicy for the noobies. Great atmosphere among all things. If you're super hungry get the one of the Thali meals. Definitely the instagramy dish.

    Fast, inexpensive and delicious. The chaat was awesome. Curries are great, and the wine / beer list is solid. Wash it all down with some wine.

    Most enjoyable meal I had in Portland. Fresh n tasty dishes - fried okra is amazing! - and fun friendly venue.

    Plates are small so good for sharing. Gobi manchurian is amazing-basically fried cauliflower in sweet & sour sauce. SO GOOD.

    Vada Pav, Papri Chaat and the Crispy Okra are amazing! Pav Bhaji is ok but I'm a Bombay guy and picky about that! Avoid the thali and Kati roll.

    Pork vindaloo, okra, and chaat were great. Gobi and Kati rolls were sub par. I'm appalled at Troy MacLarty's claim that he saved me a trip to India (from his bio). Blech.

    I could eat the Bhel Puri and Pork Vindaloo everyday. When the food comes out hot, it's unreal

    Small plates are the best! Get some food to share and you can't go wrong.

    Kathi roll with beef was phenomenal. They also have different chilies to be added on the side.

    The Kati roll is like an Indian burrito with paneer cheese. The Chicken curry meal is big, but well worth the upgrade.

    Everything I've eaten here so far has been tasty. My favorites are the vada pav and paneer makhani.

    Pork vindaloo is quite authentic,enjoyed it with rice. But why are pork pieces so big 😳. Was impressed by their version of Papdi chat; beware its spicy.

    The food is good and true. Not as spicy as you would get in India but the essential flavors are there. Vada pav!

    Sweet potato chaat is where it's at. I especially liked the herbs and crunchy lentils.

    Nothing here is spicy enough to be authentic (ahem white people), but you can get some hot sauces near the water and bussing station

    The interior is great but Very very overrated food. We ordered six dishes from the menu and they were all terrible. The long wait for such food is ridiculous!
