Best Authentic Restaurants in Northeast Portland

Cozy, fun vibe. Food was excellent. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Definitely will be coming back.

We had a wonderful dining experience. From the moment we walked in we could tell the experience would be great. We were quickly provided with a server who provided us with sparkling water and went through the special for this special Sunday meal. We started with bread and whipped butter, the bread was the perfect mix of crunchy and soft. Our entrees came and did not disappoint. My companion loved her pork stuffed cannelonis and my salad was great. We followed up with Affogato Al caffee and a baked pear crumble. Overall we highly recommend Nostrana.

Flavorful display of beautiful South American tapas style cuisine! Wagyu steak tartare, grilled octopus, and Brandt farms flat iron steak were among some of my favorites. The cocktails are delicious and beautifully garnished! I recommend the sangria! We will definitely be back to try the next “what the chef is eating” lineup!

Service was impeccable, wait time for everything was low and my girlfriend and i really felt like the staff went out their way to make our Valentine’s Day dinner special. Drinks were absolutely stellar, the Jell-O shots are always worth it and a great way to start the night. I got a drink with seaweed and whiskey that I was a little apprehensive to try because it sounded weird but it was one of our favorite flavors of the night. The roti and blistered tomato curry are what dreams are made of, and the beef tartare is NOT to be missed! Gado Gado is one of the best spots in town and the rice table is so much you will keep thinking about it for a while.

I always leave Kachka feeling like my trip was worth it! Last night was no exception. The flavors are always exciting and unique, but there is still an overarching theme of the food being very comforting. I also cannot compliment their vodka selection enough. We got a vodka flight, and every shot was delicious and surprising. The staff were very friendly and attentive, adding to the charm. PS: If you can go during happy hour, I recommend their little combo plate w/ the cabbage roll and borscht! See my photo.
