The Best Mid-Week Lunch Restaurants in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"When stopping by this worker-owned, vegan Sri Lankan restaurant, start with a Short Eats Sampler, a snack-y tray of rolls stuffed with Impossible beef and potato curry, split pigeon pea fritters, and jackfruit curry croquettes, among others. From there, options are endless, depending on the vibe. For a quick lunch break meal, the restaurant’s rotating selection of stuffed roti — filled with everything from cashew cheese to spiced vegetables — is smart and easy to eat while walking down Belmont; for those sticking around, the rotating rice and curry plate is the move, a colorful array of sambals, curries, and “deviled” (read: spicy) vegetables and proteins. Keep an eye out for specials on Instagram." - Paolo Bicchieri
