Bombay Cricket Club

The Bombay Cricket Club is one of our favorite restaurants and the best Indian restaurant in Portland. We have been going there for several years now and it has up and down over that time, but it is up again now. Located on lower SE Hawthorne Blvd., it is a small space with two TVs playing non-stop cricket highlights. The owner Karim is usually there to greet you when you walk in and get you started with a must have mango margarita. You should also get an order of poppadoms while you check out the menu. There are a lot of great curries and Indian favorites as well as some Middle Eastern dishes that I have not tried. Our favorite entrees are the Buttered Chicken Curry and the Coconut Prawn Curry. There are also several amazing vegetarian options. Of course you have to add an order of garlic nan bread to suck up all the great sauces. Usually medium is pretty spicy, but last night we thought it was more like a mild. If you still have room, the mango cheesecake is a great way to finish off the meal. There are a lot of mediocre (or worse) Indian restaurants in Portland, if you want to try a really great one, I would highly recommend the Bombay Cricket Club.
