Dwaraka Indian Cuisine

The food was so good. It has been there for a long time because it is so good. It is also nice to hear another language from other customers who were there as a family, too.

Decent Indian food on Hawthorne. Located next to the new seasons. Got the meat samosa w ground Turkey. They were fine - rather heavy. Chicken makhani had decent flavor tho didn't have a lot of chicken - mainly sauce. Dhal was ok. Lamb tandoori was fine

Tasty Indian comfort food for those wet Portland evenings!My sister and I both chose the Thali for bhengan bartha and CTM. It was fun to have lots of tastes and plenty of naan. We even had leftovers. I would recommend getting this if you're not sharing several items with a group. The restaurant is cozy and the service was friendly and prompt. They seemed to have a nice selection of drinks and a wine list, but we stuck to water on that particular weeknight. I would definitely recommend.

Been to this place several times. It's hard to say how I feel about it. Depends on where you sit and who's working. Sitting in the back is great, sitting out front - not so much. Some servers are nice and helpful, some are full of attitude. It's Portland, so not surprising. Anyway, menu is great - definitely have gluten-free dairy-free options. Yummy food and drink. I'm always trying something different. Street parking is sometimes available right out front. Otherwise, you have to find a spot on a side street.

Definitely not impressed. Biryani was sweet and Medu Vada was dry. This was last meal in Portland during my visit and feel bad that it ended with this.

Just finished lunch here and it was my first time stopping in. The lunch special was an amazing deal for $15 and included a ton of food. I got the Palak Paneer. Everything was incredibly flavorful. Our server was kind and attentive. I would highly recommend this place!

Dwaraka turned up when we were looking for a place that would be open for lunch, and provide multiple options for the vegetarian friend that we would be dining with. It proved to be a wonderful choice.My guess is that very few, if any places that traditionally had buffets have reopened them yet, as pandemic restrictions are fading. Dwaraka has come up with a way to make me not miss the buffet experience at all. When we were seated, the one page lunch menu had approximately 7 or 8 total options, divided into vegetarian and non-veg sections. The meals we received were essentially exactly the kind of selection I would have taken for myself at a buffet, but all portioned into separate metal containers, served within a metal tray. The main dish was in the largest container, and a separate basket of naan completed the experience. Getting a lot of what I specifically wanted and a little bit of many other things gives me exactly what I want from a visit to an Indian restaurant.A light blue arbor-type structure occupies the center of the dining space, providing visual separation without really taking up any room at all. It's a lovely touch.

Amazing food, the owner and his family are extremely friendly. Everyone should try the lunch buffet.

Food taste and quality was poor . Chicken karaoke was not good it was smelling very different and the chicken tasted as though it wasnt fresh meat . Only sambar and desert Kheer was good

Great people great food. Great thing about them is that they post a sign that says they prefer cash. Wonderful to see a business that is not becoming part of the cashless society. The cashless society will sink us all. Good for them.
