Food Cart - Edit
I had read about this place on happycow, and came here on a past trip to Portland, Oregon. Here's my India Chaat House review.
Read moreThis is a food cart, not a restaurant. On my visit, the man in the truck was friendly towards me, but he made me wait for my tandoori garlic naan for a long time. The garlic naan was alright at first but got dry after it cooled and sat for a while.
Most other people opted for the cheap lunch combo special that looked okay, but not everything included was vegan.
I had also asked for a chai tea with soymilk but they did not have soymilk in stock at the time. Bummer.

You can ask for a "vegan lunch special."

Not the same - Edit
This was once absolutely, hands down, the best place for Indian food in Portland. However, it is now under new ownership and it's only so-so. Ate their once under the new ownership and would not go out of my way to go back. Very disappointed.

Perfect - Edit
Cheap. Quick. Authentic. And if it wasn't a cart, they'd probably have good service, too.

i LOVE chaat house! - Edit
this food is incredibly cheap and delicious. the naan is pillowy and hot, just gorgeous, and vegan! i disagree with the reviewer who said there are not many vegan options - only a few menu items have cheese or cream and the owner has always been happy to replace any non-vegan items in the lunch special for me.
Read morelunch special is only $5 for a huge amount of rice, veggies/lentils and naan, a really fantastic deal. i love the samosas and the aloo saag. the family who runs this cart is so generous and friendly and i am really grateful for their business!
Pros: lunch special, cheap, lots of vegan variety
Cons: small operation=occasional wait for food, no indoor seating (cold in winter!)

Try the vegan coconut mango drink! - Edit
The vegan coconut mango drink is delicious. It is hard to have just one. The food is good but not great and there are not that many vegan options. Sometimes the lunch special is vegan and that is very good value for $5.00. I go just for the vegan coconut mango drink and some samosas.
Read morePros: Some vegan options, Vegan coconut mango drink
Cons: Not vegan, Not enough vegan options

Perhaps the best Indian Food in Portland? - Edit
We've tried other Indian restaurants, but the one time I came here I think I had the best I've had in Portland. A $5 lunch had lots of variety, and was too much food to eat for lunch! An amazing deal.
Read morePros: great food, great variety, great value
Cons: it's just a truck, not very much seating
