Great food – I love the food here! The wait staff is very pleasant and polite. I only wish it were open on sundays & they had more wine by the glass.
Delicious, fresh, imaginative fare – Alas, Portland's restaurant scene is on par with other great N. American cities in nearly every category absent one of my favorites- Indian food. Vindahlo is a bold place- marvelous architecture, including great water garden and disconnected downspouts off roof; serene back patio; imaginative appetizers; hearty, delicious main courses topped with fresh coconut shavings; stellar chutneys; and unbelievably good deserts. Not normally a big desert freak, I was deeply impressed recently by wha... read more
Modern Interpretation of Classic Indian Cuisine – Haha, people can be so snobby... this place is great! Yes, the Tandoori Chicken is not like traditional Tandoori Chicken. Yes, the Naan is not like traditional Naan. Yes, the waitstaff and the cooks are not Indian... but who cares?! I guess that's why they advertise as serving a modern interpretation of classic Indian cuisine... and not traditional. The food presentation and restaurant atmosphere were both clean and flavorful. The entrees that we ordered were served with one ... read more
That's it! I'm moving to Portland! – I visited from the San Francisco Bay Area and my friends took me to dinner at Vindalho. We're pretty spoiled Bay Area food snobs, and we loved the food! Wonderful, creative meals, fresh ingredients, great service and a lovely open ambience. I really don't get the griping about waiters not being Indian (in the Bay Area, they're all Hispanic ... I rarely see Indian chefs in Indian restaurants.), or the food not being "authentic." Vindalho doesn't claim to be authentic. It's just a wonderful... read more
A great addition to the Portland restaurant scene – We have been reluctant to try Vindahlo because of it's no-reservations policy. Finaly decided to risk a long wait and give it a try, surprisingly we were seated immediately, on a Friday night, perhaps the no-reservations policy is keeping people away. Regardless we are sorry we waited so long, this is definitly one of Portlands better Restaurants. Perhaps some of the previous reviewers are correct and the dishes aren't "Authentic" Indian dishes - so what!, it was every bit ... read more
What a ripoff! Not real Indian fare. – Avoid this restaurant like the plague! Overpriced for what you get but really, the worst part of this place is how un-authentic the food is. The kitchen staff are a bunch of young inexperienced white kids trying to prepare ethnic meals under the watchfull eye of a unfriendly manager or the owner who simply lingers in front of the kitchen and doesnt bother to see how the dinners are being taken care of by his wait staff. This is one of those places that is more into the presentation of h... read more
Superb Cuisine – I would recommend this restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere, exceptional service and a delightful use of spices.
Food was excellent. Waitstaff was very attentive, especially the bartender. For dessert I had the chocolate somosa with caramelized bananas. Very, very good. Highly recommended.
This is called Indian?! – I was surprised that the Tandoori Chicken dish and Naan I ordered didn't remotely taste like any Indian Tandoori or Naan on the planet. What a sham! Call it anything but not Tandoori. It was too bland and didn't have any of the piquant taste that real tandoori cooking gives to the meat. I can't believe they would serve something like this! The suburban kids cooking this stuff probably have never had an Indian dish in their life. There are dozens of Indian style restaurants much better than this plac... read more
