The 10 Best Indian Restaurants in Portland (2026)
Portland’s Indian dining scene mixes long-standing neighborhood joints with newer takeout spots, and diners here expect both approachable weekday options and celebratory meals. This list is based strictly on Google review data and was updated for 2026 — we rank businesses by a Bayesian-style score that weights average rating by review count so places with many strong reviews rise to the top. We focus on establishments categorized as Indian or similar on Google and include addresses to help you find options across Southeast, Northeast, and downtown Portland. No personal visits were used; rankings reflect publicly available review data.
This ranking is computed from Google reviews (our method). Listings marked Partner are paid advertising spots: they sit alongside the ranking without changing its order.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose an Indian restaurant in Portland?
Consider your priorities: whether you want dine-in versus takeout, a larger review sample for reliability, and Google categories that match what you expect (for example ‘Modern Indian restaurant’ vs ‘Indian Takeout’). Look at recent reviews and photos to gauge consistency and menu focus before deciding.
What should I check if I have dietary restrictions?
Review menus online and search recent customer reviews for notes about vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-friendly options. When in doubt, call the restaurant to confirm ingredient details and preparation methods before ordering or booking.
When should I call ahead or make a reservation?
Call ahead if you’re planning to visit during typical meal peaks (dinner on weekends) or if you have a larger party, special seating needs, or time-sensitive takeout. Reservations are also helpful for small dining rooms or places that list themselves as full-service restaurants.
