It was sunny last weekend so, we decided to visit Portland, Oregon , we went to few sightseeing place one among them was Pioneer Courthouse Square , a public open place infront of Pioneer Courthouse - a federal building built in 1875.

Pioneer Courthouse Square is also nicknamed as Portland's Living room . It's a hub perfect for people walking around, sitting and relaxing. There was less crowd and it was mostly people just relaxing on the steps enjoying the outdoors view while wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.

Generally many events are held at Pioneer Courthouse Square every year, some are free sh

Last Saturday , we visited Portland, Oregon and we went to this amazing place for lunch known as Old Taste of India , a food cart/kiosk with a wide varieties of Indian edibles from curries & tandoori breads to wraps & appetizers. This kiosk is situated in downtown Portland opposite to " City of Portland permit center" building. We ordered Paneer Butter Masala, veggie wraps, Vegetarian biryani for take-away lunch and when I asked for mild spice, the woman at the counter (owner) is so sweet, made us a fresh batch which came out perfectly mild spiced with tasty paneer. The quality and quantity was superb for the price I paid for. Note - You should  definitely try their Indian Chai.  Attaching the Menu pics below for ur review. I wholeheartedly have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. Will definitely visit again whenever we visit Oregon. One of the best Indian food kiosk in Portland downtown! Stay Safe frie
