New Taste Of India - Portland

I visited for midweek lunch. The lunch service is hot plate deli style, pre-made, served into a tin divided tray as the customer chooses from the available selections. The presentation is reminiscent of elementary cafeteria style. The staff that dished up the selected food was friendly and helpful. The restaurant furniture was basic and clean. The wall decor was haphazard, poorly hung, and thrift store/calendar page like. Looks like a 10 year old did the wall decor. The place would look better without the distracting bad wall decor. I am not sure what the New is regarding the restaurant 's name. Nothing was new or innovative regarding this restaurant. It is quite basic. The price seemed $2 more than what I 'd expect to pay for this style of lunch. The restaurant was mostly empty during my late lunch visit. The food tasted OK. This would not be my first choice, but I 'd eat here again.

In-door dining room is only open during lunch. So if you want dinner, you must take it away, or sit on a few bare tables outside. I can’t comment on the food, but did look for this information on their website before coming (based on another review). Please update your description

Nice place, too bad they don't stay open for dinner.

I've been coming here for a long time, the quality is consistently fantastic and so flavorful. My favorite is the Dahl tarka and chana goa, definitely my favorite comfort meal when i want to treat myself. Staff are always friendly too.

Not bad, not anything to write home about. The spice level was pretty low even when I asked for extra spicy. The prices are mostly reasonable for the quantity. The curries are a little too sweet for my taste, I prefer more savory flavors.Food: 3/5
