Italian classics with a touch of Oregon, local ingredients in seasonal specials, and gluten free options. Great lunch menu under $10 the ravioli and spaghetti with butter sauce are some of our favorites. Monday dinner is a must if you are a meatball fan.

Indian fare, with many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. We love the biriani, navartan korma, and many of their other dishes. Skip the lunch buffet, dinner is much better.
