Apna Bazaar

All you can do is all !!! Restsurant +Grocery + Indian beer. Above all nice people serving great

Great, well-​stocked, good ambience. So happy to find this place! Really excellent selection of a wide range of Indian products and good produce section too. One of our main stops now for Indian groceries.

Very friendly staff and really clean. They have a good variety of treats and the bonus would have to be the restaurant next door. The butter chicken was soooooo delicious as well as the magi lassi. We will definitely be back for more!!! Love that it’s in a low traffic area of town too!!!

Biryani is awesome. Chat items are good. Probably one of the best indian places in portland.

This review is for the restaurant.
We had the non veg thali.
Amazing food and volume. Their chicken curry reminded me of the curry in India.
Will return again.

With the closing of PDXBiryani, I had to find another spot to satisfy my biryani cravings; lo and behold! – I’ve found them! Hidden in a lil business park next to the Oregon Food Bank off SW 173^rd, this place has an awesome chicken biryani ($ 12.99 for large) and tasty veg samosas ($ 1.00 ea,) which used to be larger, but still okay sized. The biryani had the right amount of spice, but could have used a lil more chili in it. Plenty of parking, and they take credit cards also. Its a regular spot for me now.

The food here was amazing and nearly identical to what you get in India. Everything we ordered was good except for the chicken lollipop which was unlike any I had seen in the past and is best avoided.

Tried their onion rava masala dosa and loved it. In the past, my roommate and I tried their biryani (veggie and goat) and we truly enjoyed it. This place is inexpensive compared to all the other Indian restaurants around, and is the only one that’s open for most of the time during the day and serves everything from appetizers to meals.

This review is for Apna Chaat Bhavan. It came highly recommended, so me and the husband finally found time to drop by and we have been there twice in a week already. Their serving size is enormous. And the chicken dum biriyani is so authentic and yum. It comes with raita and kurma and costs $ 13.99 (I think. Or maybe 12.99) for a full plate. You can definitely have it for 2 meals. And I love thums up. Theirs cost only $ 1.29 per bottle. What a perfect combination. If you can’t make it to lunch buffets and want to have good indian food at a reasonable price, this is the place to be.

Not exactly sure why Apna Chaat Bhavan doesn’t have a listing on Unilocal,but I’m too lazy right now to right that wrong. Know that this review is for the restaurant and not the market that is adjacent to said restaurant.
Sue and I found out about this place from some friends. I normally don’t get out to Beaverton. Previous to coming here I usually only came out to Beaverton for the good Asian cuisine to can be found out this way. Now I know there is good Indian out here too.
Upon walking in we knew we were in the right place. Practically everyone here was Indian. That is usually a very good sign. There is nothing exotic about this place at all. The only thing that really stood out was that it was very clean.
There are no descriptions of the food on the menu. We were told the Samosas were good from our friends. We ordered 2 chicken samosas ($ 2.49 each) and they came with some spicy chutney’s on the side. A good way to start the meal.
After looking online at what some of these dishes were I ordered the Aloo Baingan (Eggplant and potatoes cooked together with chaat bhavan special spices, $ 6.99). I had been out of the eggplant game for quite some time, but now I’m getting back into it. Can’t really describe this. It seemed like it was very simple, but quite complex at the same time.
A good find in Beaverton.

Wow! So my experience with Indian food has been limited to local lunch buffets, which I enjoy. I stumbled across this place and have been twice this week! Lunch special has 7 different items with rice. The half order if chicken biriyani could feed 4. My only suggestion would be to have something with English descriptions. Not sure what was in the special but was all delicious.

This review is primarily for the Apna Chaat Bhavan restaurant (adjacent to the grocery store).
This place opened about a year ago and they have quickly become my favorite.
Many of their dishes are south indian authentic.
Gongura mutton: simply awesome (my favorite dish here).
Chili chicken (spicy): Awesome.
Chicken biryani: best in town (had it on multiple occasions).
Panneer Tikka masala: both times for catering: First time very good, on a recent order: pretty bad (it was actually sweet)
Vegetable biryani: got this three times for catering: wasn’t disappointed.
Chili baby corn: got this three times for catering: very good at medium spice
Chicken curry on catering menu was good too.
Bhaigan Bhegara: Awesome: got it for catering.
Punugulus: pretty good.
Egg puffs: great.
Chicken puff: not so great.
Pastries: very good (black forest stands out).
Their catering prices are reasonable.

Since moving from the East Coast, I’ve had difficulty finding Indian spices for a reasonable price. I finally made the drive out to Beaverton, I’m glad Apna did not disappoint. I mainly came here for cumin seeds, curry leaves, atta, and methi leaves. I found all of those for a price much lower than the Portland standard prices, plus a bunch of other stuff I hadn’t even thought about – like clay diyas and rangoli.
My only complaint is that their items don’t always have prices on them, particularly the frozen vegetables. The store is also a little hard to find, as most stores in this area are in office buildings with almost no store front.

Grocery Store: There is a good selection of brands here, which for me is prefect because I tend to buy the different Marsala mixes
Great Fresh Veggies and Frozen Section.
Restaurant: Apna recently took over the adjacent office and made it into a restaurant… which is pretty darn good and reasonably priced.

Good Indian deli

We have shopped here 4 – 5 times in the last 3 months. We were happy with the choices and enjoyed their restaurant next door too. The people there are very friendly.
However, my last purchase was horrible! I bought three 2lb packets of daal and all three were completely rotten and stinky. The moment i Opened the bags I had to throw it in trash to avoid puking! There was no date on the packets so I can’t tell if it was past the use by date. I would think they would check the dates and not have old stinky groceries. Unfortunately I didn’t keep the receipt so I couldn’t take it back.

We were here to have pastries. The pastries were dry and the cake had hardened as if these pastries had been sitting for over a day or so. Have not tried the chaat yet but the experience with pastries doesnt make me wanna go back for food. The grocery store next to it is pretty good.

Review for Grocery Store :
PROS: More choice in brands, Fresh veggies (most of the days), CHEAPER veggies on Thursdays, got good food items to stock on diwali sale. Good customer service.
CONS:Sometimes found bit pricey than other groceries on few items.
Will close early by 9pm everyday.
Restaurant review :
Seems like they have a new restaurant now, but I Haven’t tasted their food yet.

This lil’ market is located right next to the Orgon Food Bank so when a few co-​workers and I were waiting for our shift to start, we took a gander in Apna.
Cashier was super friendly and happy to point you in the right direction. The spices were absolutely amazing!!! The girls ended up taking home a bunch of different spices. They also have a great selection of lentils and other legumes — veg heads, you could make the most amazing feasts with the ingredients in here. Small, but friendly and a great variety of items in spite of their size. Definitely worth checking out…

Very good quality produce and spices here. Also, the staff were extremely helpful and polite.
They have some great prepared food in the back as well. I love when markets like these have places to snack while you decide how you are going to store the 14 new varieties of spices you’ve acquired. (the answer is «in a shoe box»)
