The Sudra offers a vibrant twist on Indian cuisine with inventive vegan dishes like samosas and curries, and a lively atmosphere perfect for exploration.
"The Sudra was an essential vegan Indian restaurant that opened its first location in Northeast Portland in 2013. It expanded to St. Johns, the Pearl, Beaverton, and Boise on Mississippi Avenue. By April 2024, all locations of the Sudra were closed." - Rebecca Roland
"The fifth Sudra location will open in downtown Hillsboro, taking over a mid-century building with Ex Novo Brewing, Sizzle Pie, and Grand Central Baking. Ex Novo will share the spacious roof deck with The Sudra. The Sudra is known for its vegan Indian-New Mexican fusion cuisine." - Waz Wu
"The Sudra, a vegan Indian restaurant with two locales in Portland and another coming to Beaverton, started serving a happy hour this week from noon to 4 p.m. daily." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"The Sudra, with locations in North and Northeast Portland, will open a sprawling restaurant in downtown Beaverton with cardamom-infused Old Fashioneds, lentil kofta, and — potentially — tikka masala fries. Sudra owner Sanjay Chandrasekaran opened the first Sudra in 2013, a representation of the food he grew up with as an Indian-American kid in New Mexico: plates of lentil kofta and pakora come with black bean masala and pickled Anaheim chiles, for instance. The restaurant’s menu includes a number of thali plates, small plates like tamarind curry beets, and kati rolls filled with Indo-Chinese spicy eggplant. Currently, Chandrasekaran runs two Sudra locations: One in a building on the corner of Mississippi and Fremont, and another on NE 28th. This location will be his largest, a little under 2,000 square feet, with a larger kitchen for expanding the menu. “Out there, there just aren’t as many vegan options, so I can go out of the box that I’ve been staying in right now,” he says. That could include dishes like masala burgers or tikka masala fries. The restaurant — like his others — will rely mainly on counter service, but he says an additional person will wander the restaurant space with a handheld POS, to add on cocktails, additional orders, etc. That way, customers won’t have to get back in line for more food. The restaurant is slated to open in May 2021, depending on the pace of construction." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
