My husband and I absolutely enjoyed this! We went out to eat her for a late lunch. We bought the combo plate and loved everything in it. The entire truck is gluten-free too! That made ordering easier. They know their allergies, even my latex/mango allergy.
The chicken was so good and cooked perfectly. The curry was just right and went with the rice perfectly. The shrimp was cooked perfectly with a kick of spice. You can’t go wrong with the pork or lamb. We really loved the lentil cracker and dips. The only bland thing was the bean mix. Everything else was devoured! #glutenfree #indianfood

I've eaten here, as well as Masala Lab, many times. The flavor profile is just incredible, I really haven't had anything else like it. I'm always impressed. Yesterday I had a pulled pork plate and it was divine, especially the housemade pickled vegetables, they really just highlight all the flavors. My husband would only let me have one bite of the lamb, I will be getting that next time - it was delicious! I am a budget conscious person and sometimes I balk at the price of eating out these days, but I have to say that the generous size of the portions (I will have this one meal for 3 lunches!) makes it come out at a totally reasonable price, plus the quality is just outstanding. This is a food cart but it is in a really sweet location with nice covered seating, heaters and a full bar available. I definitely recommend it for a meal out, plus I heard they cater which I am hoping to enjoy one day!

I definitely prefer the vegan plate over the fried chicken! The chai cardamom wings didn't give me too much flavor.
But the vegan plate on the other hand was nutty and delicious.

Super delicious! I got the Vegan Thali Platter and really enjoyed it. I typically eat mild when it comes to spice levels and the green chutney was indeed spicy (as described). I would totally get this meal again, but would skip the green chutney.

Fantastic vegan food! Highly recommended! I ordered the vegan thali platter and it was very delicious. The tandoori tempeh curry was outstanding, one of the best curries I have ever had!

so many delicious foods of many colors and textures. savory, sweet, crispy, soft… a paradise in the sea of food carts. so many options for vegans &/or gluten free folks.
i’m here once a week and every time the folks making the food are chill and welcoming. if you’re in the neighborhood and craving comforting food and needing veggies, stop in!
thanks, y’all!

Delicious! Haven't been here in awhile as I don't live locally, but I like to stop by when I am in Portland. Took my partner here for the first time (he was a chef for 20 years). He liked the lamb so much he went back for a 2nd plate. Spicy, fresh, and overall felt like a healthy and filling meal. Perfect for a rainy day. The care and quality that goes into the food shows in the flavor and scent.

So delicious, but watch out, it’s spicy! Well at least it was for me who gets mild/ medium at Thai restaurants. I got the shrimp plate and loved the combo of the grilled shrimp, pickles, rice, and the mint chutney.
Also got the carrot/coconut mushy dessert—was a surprise on the warmth and mushiness, but was very helpful in getting the spice down

Loved coconut milk chai, great shrimp plate and the chicken mole plate! The pickles could be cut differently and have more seasoning.

Delicious Indian food, and all gluten free. My friend and I shared the enormous sampler platter and it was fantastic! I was amazed at the range of flavors they were able to pack into one platter! The cart itself, the other food carts around it, and covered seating area it is part of are really cute and have a nice atmosphere.
