" I had high hopes for Bollywood Theater based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint! The korai chicken was one of the best I've had outside of India. The staff were friendly, and the decor was lovely, adding to the overall experience. The only downside was the wait time, which felt longer than expected, but I’ll gladly overlook that for great food. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bollywood Theater is a gem in Portland for anyone craving authentic Indian street food. The decor instantly transports you to India, and their vada pav is a must-try! I found the portions to be just right, and the chai was exceptional with unlimited refills. However, the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the food makes it all worth the wait. Overall, it's a delightful experience and a place I'd definitely return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful experience at Bollywood Theater! The ambience is vibrant and transports you right to India. The vada pav was simply the best I've had in the US, bringing back memories from Mumbai. The rest of the menu also contains exciting options. Service was decent, though our food took longer than expected. All in all, a must-visit for authentic Indian street food lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bollywood Theater is one of those rare spots where you feel both the energy of a lively restaurant and the comfort of good food. From the moment you step in, the Bollywood vibes hit you! I loved the vada pav and the kathi rolls, both bursting with flavors! The only thing that let me down was the slow service, which could be improved. Still, a great place for Indian street food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Bollywood Theater for a quick bite with friends. The atmosphere is fun and eclectic, but a bit chaotic when busy. The rolls were tasty, and I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients. However, the portion sizes did not feel generous compared to the price. I think I would try it again, but I'd manage my expectations regarding value for money. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Bollywood Theater was a mixed bag. The decor and ambiance were awesome; I loved that Bollywood movies played on screens! However, the food didn’t deliver entirely. Some selections were good, yet a few others were bland and felt Americanized. Service was adequate, but I would recommend improving the food to match the lovely environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a refreshing Indian dining experience! Bollywood Theater has the most colorful decor and upbeat atmosphere, making dining there fun! I loved the chai and the vada pav was fantastic! Although the service was a touch slow at times, the lively vibe makes you forget about that quickly. Would definitely suggest to friends looking for Indian street food! " (*Curated Review*)
