Wow! This restaurant seriously blew us away. My family of 4 were the only ones sitting down for lunch here on a Thursday but we were so excited to try this place out and it did not disappoint. We’ve eaten Indian food in Portland and Seattle and this is the best and most authentic food we’ve ever had. We drove from Eugene where the Indian food options are lacking in quality and we found our dishes to be truly amazing! The chicken tikka masala was sweet and luxurious, the veggie samosas were spicy and fresh and the veggie dumplings were out of this world! I’ve never had anything so yummy with such good sauces too. My husband and I adored the lamb curry which was bursting with flavor that we are still talking about. Our kids loved it and we will definitely be back again soon! The owner was so sweet telling us about the history of the restaurant, so friendly and kind. So so glad there are authentic restaurants like this with quality food made with love and care!

Excellent food! The gluten free options were clearly marked. And when we had questions about unfamiliar food the staff did a great job explaining. Can’t wait to go again. An unexpected treasure in a small town.

Awesome Indian food but you can tell that they're not used to running the restaurant. They forget to serve you water. They forget to bring you utensils but the food makes up for the inexperienced service

36 Spices is Welcome change from the previous establishment. The service is friendly, attentive, and pleasurable. We started with Papad, a fried lentil crisp, light and delicious. Next was the Veg Samosa, the peas and potatoes had bite and weren't mushy and the seasoning was just right.
The Butter chicken was a flavorful stew that warms your body, the chicken Korma was lightly nutty and full of spices that mixed perfectly with the rice. The buttered Naan and garlic Naan was exceptional as well. To finish it off, we had the Mango Lassi it was creamy, fruity, and quite refreshing. Overal, it was a great dining experience, we will definitely be back again for more!!!!

As big Indian food people, we were both skeptical and excited that Harrisburg was getting a restaurant. But HOLY goodness. Best curry I’ve had in Oregon by far. The portions were huge, the meat was tender, the naan. If this place ceases to have fans, I’m dead. I will die loving this food.

Hello,
As a professional food critic for the first 13 years of my life, believe me when I say, 36 Spices finally gives Harrisburg a reason to be on the map besides it beautiful water front. We are lucky to have this family restaraunt. Affordable, insanely flavorful, and a healthy alternative to other restaraunts in neighboring rural towns.
Try them out!

Had a blast during our lunch at this uniquely named restaurant! We tried the nan roti, curry, and samosas, and they were all incredibly delicious. The flavors were on point without being too overpowering. The place had a cozy, clean, and safe vibe, perfect for families. Count me in for a return visit!

The food is awesome, and the best Indian food in lane country. The staff was nice and helpful. I took recommendations from the owner. We ordered the Sampler appetizer, I got goat curry and my friend got lamb curry with naan bread. Couldn't be happier with the food. And location is great for our community.
