East India Co Grill & Bar offers a delectable journey and redefines the perception of Indian food. The romantic interior combines seductive Indian richness and sparkle, with dramatic lighting, and 1800"s sepia photographs. Subtle complex marinades using time honored Indian grilling methods created by seasoned master chefs reflect the food trends in today's India. The menu remains true to classic Indian recipes but is served with verve and style. All of this along with our hospitality and innovative signature cocktails makes for a unique dining experience. The restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Portland on 11th avenue between Yamhill and Taylor. We are open for lunch, happy hour, and dinner Monday through Sunday. We invite you to join us for the East India experience.

    Tandoori dishes were not as expected. Although tandoori salmon was delicious! Everything else was just ok. Samosas were pre-cooked, cut in half and dotted with various sauces and served on Chana Masala, but there were only 2. Staff was outstanding! Friendly, engaging and very service oriented, by far, the best part of the experience! If this is the best Indian food in PDX. I'm sad

    The flavors were excellent. The lamb was a little over cooked, but the sauce it was in was delicious. The seating was good and arraigned to be quiet so we could talk. I particularly liked the breads.

    The food was generally good but NOTHING was spicy - we ordered various dishes at different spice levels (as prompted by the waiter) and everything was the same level of mild. Clearly they were short staffed. Whilst the waiter did his best, we had to continuously flag him down. The server/bus boy would bring out new courses without having cleared the plates from prior courses - which made for chaos as there clearly was insufficient room on the table for dishes of multiple courses. Most of the cocktails on their cocktail were out of stock (?) and whilst the menu said chai was available on Saturdays, it was not. The waiter - apparently clueless to the climate of most of India - explained that it was "too hot" to make chai... We noted on the OpenTable reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and only after we arrived and discreetly reminded the waiter were we told that they don't "do" birthdays.

    This surprisingly uncrowded downtown gem is more than worthy of your dining and cocktail dollars. Truly about the most delicious Indian food in Portland, beautifully presented by enthusiastic servers, at reasonable prices, especially for the exquisitely flavors and quality. A must try, or return for another outstanding dining experience!

    Excellent selection and very good execution. The sauces for the various dishes do actually taste different which is not always the case at some India restaurants. There are about 8 different types of sauce (korma, kerala, tikka masala, etc) and you can select the protein that you want (lamb, paneer, chicken, veggies, etc). There are other items on the menu and one highlight was the dal makani. Very good value as must about every dish is under $20.

    With a 6 PM reservation on a Saturday one would expect Tandoori chicken to be available. It was not. Server said the last 3 servings had just been ordered by another table. Really? 1 hour after you open and out of a signature entree? Rest of food was good. Only one person taking orders while another delivered food.

    It was our first trip to East India Company. The food and service were excellent. We had the tandoori salmon which was very moist and tender. The chicken tikka was also nicely spiced and delicious. The service was courteous and prompt. Will go again.

    Always great food esp the tandoori dishes. The meat has that tandoori deep roasted flavor that is very rare for other Indian restaurants in the US! I do miss not being able to have their Rangpur chill cocktail which was always so uniquely delicious. They no longer have a dedicated bartender which is sad and probably related to the pandemic & downtown woes. Server we had last nite was attentive and friendly!

    The food was really good - the butter chicken was excellent. My husband had the Vindaloo and thought it was delicious. We were dining with elderly friends and it is difficult to have a drink menu that is only available trough a QR code for that age group. Then when we did access it on our phones and share it, the print was too small and difficult to read for our friends. Lastly, more than half of the drinks listed on the QR menu were listed as currently unavailable. Including the chai. CHAI...at an Indian restaurant. Weird. Lastly, there were two items on the printed menu that only after we tried to order them, we were told that they were not available and that the printed menu is not quite up to date. So update the menu then! Details matter. It is an exercise in frustration to be told everything you are trying to order off their menu is unavailable. We might go back because the food was quite good, but I am sure that our friends will not. They did not enjoy the experience.

    Food was extra spicy- I mean I’m an Indian and can handle spice but this was inedible in the sense - a simple dal dish (yellow lentils) were made so spicy! Kadai paneer was extra spicy as well. Tandoori roti was dry and rubbery. I advised them to ask people regarding the spice levels - wait is absolutely a deal breaker here…

    We have eaten at this restaurant several times before and have always liked it very much. Last night was quite a disappointment. I ordered the dumplings which came in a beige unappetizing sauce. The dumplings were mushy without much flavor. My husband ordered the tandoori chicken. We have always had tandoori chicken come sizzling with onions and a reddish color after being baked in a tandoori oven. This chicken came out brown and looked like it was braised. The flavor was off. For now, we will not be coming back to this restaurant which we once loved. So sad because it is within walking distance of our home. We’ll be searching for another Indian restaurant.

    I love everything about this restaurant. Quality Indian food in a relaxed atmosphere at a reasonable price. My husband and I eat here at least a few times a year. This time we brought a bigger group and tried more dishes. We all loved the appetizers: the Papadam Chutney Tasting, Samosa Chaat and Papdi Chat. The entrees that were spicy were too hot for me but the others liked it (Murg Tikkka).The ones we ordered mild were perfect. The lamb saag is my favorite. We tried the eggplant for the first time and it was fantastic. Even the people who weren’t big eggplant fans liked it. The younger set loved the Lassi. We will be back.

    Great food in a nice setting. It seemed a little tacky to have to use a QR code to see the menu. The severs just handed us our food rather than setting it down in front of us. We were asked if they could pour our wine for us … well, yes!

    A true gem in downtown. Elegant and well presented dishes. They are still recovering from the shutdowns so not every item is available but enough are. I would highly recommend the restaurant. A bit more expensive than the run of the mill Indian restaurants but worth it.

    Very sad place compared to our last visit 4 yrs ago. We were excited to return to what we felt would be a high end fine ding restaurant experience. However, the reality was quite different. One server, no bartender. Fortunately not busy, but on a Friday night, certainly surprising. Photos show white table cloths, which was the case 4 yrs ago, but no longer. Food was mediocre at best. Can not recommend this establishment.
