Very kind, welcoming staff (special shout out to Saleshni!) Delicious food!! Both the tandoori lamb and freshly made (NOT bottled) Mango Lassi are delicious! And the chutney beautifully complimented the dish.

Big Elephant is an absolute gem in SW Portland! We are vegetarian so always get the vegan dishes and are never disappointed. Excellent value for the amount of food. The sides and desserts are also delicious (get there early for cassava fries!!!). The French Quarter can get very busy on the weekend so wear your patient pants and be ready for an amazing meal. Oh and the staff are so friendly and kind! Highly recommend this food truck!!

Absolutely wonderful Indian food. I’ve been here a number of times and the quality has always been very good. I tend to get their meat and vegan combo plates which I can easily get two meals out of portion wise. Their roti, which is made to order, is also very good.

This is an EXCELLENT food cart! I have never had Fijian/Indian Cuisine so I wanted to try a bit of everything. The Bahjiya Pokura are truly vegan chicken nuggets! They are crispy, salty and fresh (I saw the lovely cook hand rolling these in the back!). The lamb curry was very tasty and cooked perfectly. My picky daughter loved her chicken curry. The zucchini in coconut milk was a great contrast to the flavorful curry. Even the side salad which I tend to avoid was crisp, fresh and paired well with the meal!! It was an excellent meal, everything is made fresh so head over early as they run through their popular items quickly!

I stopped in for lunch and got two veggie curries. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was a nice day to sit outside and enjoy a leisurely meal and Big Elephant Kitchen provided the perfect sustenance.

Amazing Indian food. I ordered two vegan entrées and was over the moon with how flavorful and filling everything was. I’m sharing the leftovers from my meal. Great deal. Great food. I’ll be coming back many times in the future!

I had a delicious Lamb Curry from Big Elephant food cart and a Buoy NW Red Ale. Eating Indian food at a French inspired food cart pod. Gotta love it!

Very nice people. A reasonable wait time for your food. Very bland chicken masala & bland chicken curry. Even the child though it was bland. I find it ironic that there is a one star review below complaining that the food was too spicy hot.

Vibrantly flavorful rotating curries, highly recommended with a side of tasty fried bhajiya/pakora. Every time I stop by they have something new I’ve never thought of for a curry and it’s always delicious! Whether papaya curry, green bean tomato, jackfruit, collard greens, or their meat standards, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by everything. My favorite way to order is the 1 meat + 2 veggie curry plate (which always includes chana masala) and then asking for their favorite combination of the day’s options. Throw in a side of those bhajiya, with a little spicy chutney, and you will be set for a fantastic, diverse meal, with plenty of leftovers (if you can pull yourself away from the plate, that is).
