Charminar House

one of the new but possibly one of the best Indian restaurants in town. South Indian style but they really create some really great entrees which is full of aroma and flavor and not necessarily so hot or spice that will hurt your spice taste. We ordered a fish curry and Thalapakattu Goat biryani and it was simply fabulous and the goat meat was very tender and tasty enough for me to taste till the last fiber of the meat. Fish curry was absolutely delicious and the appetizers were superb.....go give this place a try, you will not regret it.

You don't get Indian style breakfast buffet anywhere in Portland except for Charminar at this moment. Hoped in last day and got a chance to have that. Appam/porotta with egg and vegetable curry was fantastic. Plain dosa(can be asked separately. Not in Buffet counter) and little poori's ordered were good as well. Idli, Vada , sambhar were just okay. Not the best compared to others mentioned earlier. But for small breakfast buffet on weekend mornings, in general Charminar is a great pick.They do have few options to go English style as well. Menu keeps changing every day of the weekend. Do give it a try.

This is the best and most consistent Indian food I've ever had. I'm still waiting for them to mess up or food or have it disappoint...nope. Hari and his team are true masters of the dishes they serve. Especially the Butter (X), (X) Korma, and don't sleep on the Manchurian (pretty spicy)...he still won't sell me the Vindaloo. 10/10

I ordered takeout , the food was tasty but unfortunately my fish curry had very little fish and all curry I absolutely loved the plantain bajji - it was delicious Like I said I was fishing in the curry but no fish were biting I will try them again because it was tasty

I had a delightful dining experience at Charminar House! The dosas were perfectly crisp, with a deliciously tangy sambar and fresh coconut chutney on the side. The palappam with coconut milk was a revelation, light and fluffy with the creamy sweetness of the coconut milk complementing it beautifully. To finish, the payasam was a sweet note that rounded off the meal wonderfully. With its authentic flavors and cozy atmosphere, Charminar House is a gem that brings the right essence of Indian cuisine along with the friendly and helpful demeanor of person who works there. Highly recommended for anyone craving a taste of India!

We really liked Hollywood Bites, the restaurant that used to be in this space. I even got an ROTD for my review. Butter chicken is one of our comfort foods so we thought we would try Charminar House and order delivery. It was expensive. $83+ total.We ordered: Butter chicken- 4 pieces of dry sliced chicken breast in creamy tomato curry. Tasty. Mutter paneer- peas and small cheese cubes in creamy, less tomatoey curry. Kid loves this. I like sag/spinach paneeer better. Next time. Naan- rectangular, really thin, with holes like swiss cheese but nicely brown. 2 pieces for $3ish dollars. We got four, because leftovers.Chicken lollipops - smaller than anticipated but tasty. Kid was pleasantly surprised. raita - really good.Fresh and bright and tart.samosas x2- flaky pastry with yummy potato filling. They came with a spicy green chutney. A mango lassi- small but my kid loved it.rice- two small cartons. Not enough rice. I ordered everything mild, because me and my post cancer life means minimal heat. Tragic. The butter chicken was good, it was a little skimpy on the chicken and a little spicier than anticipated. But it and naan are our Indian food litmus test.We wil order again. I think we will go in person. P.S. I saw on IG an Indian person was outta rice and the chicken was gone so they mixed their leftover butter chicken sauce with pasta as a food hack- they're right, it is BOMB.We mixed ours with linguine. Yum! Do try it.

Decided to try this out and I'm glad we did. Everything we got from Charminar House was delicious. The naan was crispy and soft and the garlic was fresh but not overpowering.The Paneer Biryani was on point. Very generous portions, great presentation and tasty.The Paneer Tikka Masala was also solid, with the right level of savory, smooth and flavorful.Will definitely be back

Charminar House has opened in the former Bollywood Bites location in the Sunset Mall. There have been some minor changes to the dining area. But the buffet section and TV that plays constant Bollywood dancing remain intact. Our server was friendly and didn't seem to have any problem understanding English. My friend and I were the only two people in the restaurant for lunch so our food was served quickly. We ordered masala dosa, chicken Tikka masala and navratan korma. I'm very familiar with Indian food and this was far from five stars. The dosa was ok but the navratan korma was awful. Thick, lumpy brown gravy with heat but no flavor covering what tasted like frozen chunky veggies and a few cubes of paneer. Navratan korma is one of my favorites and this was close to being the worst I've ever tasted.My friend seemed to enjoy his chicken Tikka masala. We ordered a paneer biryani to go, which looks pretty good in its container.I think it's wise to try the lunch buffet here first so that you know which dishes might be better than others. I'll try that in the near future and update accordingly.There's plenty of parking and bus 48 stops close by.

Everything is really really lovely!!I was a takeout order. But ambiance is so pleasant. Food is fantastic. And staff (owners) treat you like personal guest. Highly recommend!!! Looking forward to going back.

This place has the BEST authentic Indian food in the entire beaverton/hillsboro area. potentially the best curry I have ever eaten and that means a lot when it's my favorite comfort food. the service is always wonderful, efficient, and kind. Every time I go in it is never busy and I am counting down the days until this place gets the reputation it deserves, it's seriously underrated and amazing. I was too excited to eat my food that I forgot to take a picture lol.
