The food tasted authentic and delicious. This was my first time eating here, and we were not disappointed. Everything we tried was tasty. The lamb vindaloo was probably my favorite dish, but all were solid.The service was prompt. I called in a phone order, and from start to finish, it took 30 minutes for the order to be completed. When I arrived, the food was ready to go. I paid and left. The woman who gave me the food was very kind.The ambiance appeared average at this establishment. In my opinion, where the restaurant is located, this part of Portland is dirty and feels unsafe because of the unsavory people who inhabit it. The restaurant is takeout only, and I was completely fine with it because it's not an area where I would want to hang out. This spot is up there with any of the Indian food I have had in Portland, and I would personally say it's one of the best. I look forward to coming back and trying more offerings.

I found this place on Uber eats and based on the reviews decided to check it out. The food is great!! We got paneer tikka masala, bhaturas, veggie chowmein, gobi manchurian and paneer tikka. Each dish was so well made and authentic! Each order of bhatura comes with around five small pieces so it's plenty of food. The paneer dishes were delicious!! The chowmein in particular was exceptional - very similar to what I remember eating in India! Check this place out for an authentic Indian food experience!

The Paneer Tikka Masala is FIRE. Reminds me of how it is in India, very authentic and the paneer itself is big and has a smokey flavor to it which completes the gravy really wellThe Saag paneer is not bad but it didn't stand out like the Tikka Masala. Both dishes were ordered Medium and it matched the spice well. The Saag could've been spicier The Gobi Manchurian was also really good, with the perfect level of spice and flavor.The Paneer Pakoras was too breaded and had a very small amount of paneer in them, also was more bland compared to the other options so definitely worth skipping We did takeout and even the next day the paneer tikka masala leftover was as good as it was when we ordered it so I definitely recommend getting that and the Gobi Manchurian for sure

Good food, friendly service. I like eggplant korma and this was very good. Experiment and try new dishes here, ask for recommendations-the waiter was a great source of ideas

We loved Dil Se before they became carry-out only! We live too far for that to be practical!

Seriously the best Indian food in Portland. With an amazing vegan and vegetarian selection it's a must. I've been happily introducing them to anyone I know who likes Indian food.I used them to cater my wedding during the 2022 December ice storm and it was super affordable and they were so sweet. When my bakery closed and we couldn't get our cake I called in a panic thinking they would be closed too, but they assured me they'd be there to make it happen.I seriously cannot recommend them enough from their food to their amazing staff.

It's just... so good. It's just perfect. The only downside is that I'm never going to try or explore Indian food elsewhere in Portland because I don't need to. Dil Se is right there, and it's fast, and reasonably priced and just... so, so good. I usually get the tandoori salmon (which I now believe is the best way to eat cooked salmon) and some naan, my partner gets their chicken kebab and loves it everytime. The tamarind sauce is really good and I would buy a bottle of it if I could. I like that it's takeout only because I get my takeout faster and I have to imagine it also helps keep prices down. 10/10 would recommend.

Honest delivery driver review (4 years) review:The only saving grace for this place is the people are nice. They don't do service inside as their restaurant is in shambles (stacks of boxes, the cleanliness is something to be desired). Your food will never be on time, that's just the sad facts, they are always running behind. From the pricing to the quality of food? You'll be better off going to someplace cheaper for better quality. Right as you walk in the fish tank present is so clouded with green algae, it hasn't been cleaned in years. Sad to say you're better off saving your money.

Take away only (didn't know!) so had to eat in the car.Pretty good for Portland/LA/SFO standards. Best we've found yet in the area.Naan and vindaloo good, very different than authentic in UK, but good.
