Bhuna - Portland

Fantastic! We ordered the Thali for two, even though there were three of us, and it was more than enough—such a great way to sample these incredibly flavorful dishes. We also tried the chickpea-battered calamari and the fried potatoes, both served with delicious sauces. I thought the food was a step above the usual Indian cuisine. Definitely go and support this place!

Food was pretty good and reasonably priced, I liked the appetizers, though my palak paneer was too watery for my taste. The naan was, as recommended by the owner, fantastic. Be warned their point of sales machine is not working well though; even if you tip, it won't show up there, but you will see it in your credit card statement later!. Got called out for this by the waitress, pretty embarrassing but it is what it is

Great food. Everything we ordered( Chana masala, tomatoes and eggplant curry, naan, dum aloo) was very flavorful and portion sizes were just right. The mango kulfi was just yum! Service could have been a little better considering that they weren’t too busy on a late Sunday afternoon.

This is a very good Indian restaurant to eat . It is kashmiri style food , very authentic and different than typical india restaurant food in the US. I ordered thali for two, and every item in thali was unique and reminded me of some flavors back in Delhi/India, I used to taste . I will recommend ordering thali if you want to experience a variety of dishes with one order . Service and ambiance were excellent, too.

First off, I put 3 stars for atmosphere because it is casual and kind of plain. At night, when the bar is in action, it 's more cool and modern, plus there are nice decorations from the owner 's home country around. Both times I was there I loved the chill playlist. But... the real deal about here is the food. GO NOW! My partner and I stumbled on this place just reading the menu in the window. We are vegetarian and wondered if the small menu would be expansive enough. I think they have a smallish menu so they can do the dishes they do perfectly. Each thing we had was spiced perfectly and individually and nothing tasted like anything else. What was supposed to be crispy was crispy, the vegetables were not broken down and soupy, the sauces weren 't gloppy gravies... the cooking was top-tier. We got special sides and I wish they were all constant menu items. The green beans were roasted and slightly charred, tossed with ginger slivers and toasted garlic and chili flakes and garnished with cilantro and radish. That 's a lot of effort for one dish! The palak paneer was in a light refreshing sauce and the spinach was firm, and the cheese was fried perfectly. The rice that came with it was lemony, and the raita tasted cool and fresh. The dressing for the salad was a standout, with mustard and tiny red onion dice and citrus... I would go back for the salad alone.... I thought it would be fine, a salad and it was an exciting dish. The best thing we had was collards with kohlrabi (kind of like turnip) in a deep-tasting smoky spicy sauce that was light, not stewy. The greens were tender and not cooked to death. And guess what? It is CHEAP for what it is. Really reasonable for such elevated dishes. They also have a good cocktail list. Don 't be afraid of the unfamiliarity of the menu. I swear to you this will become a place you return again and again and will rave to your friends about. I wish it would move to NYC where I live. I will dream about this placeVegetarian options: Good choices available even though it 's a smaller menu and has also lots of meat dishes
