    Medium sabzi plate
    Jessica K.

    While we have loved Bella's for years, we were sad to find that the recipes, taste and quality have seemed to change within the last year.

    7. Chicken Saaj Plate
    Ann N.

    wow. this meal was such a great deal! i was full after eating half of it. i love how there's so many different flavors in this dish. the salad contrasts against the rice and chicken so well. the owner is super kind and sweet. i really enjoyed my interaction with him. i would definitely come back here!

    This food cart is part of the Piedmont Food Carts. There were so many options to choose from but I'm so glad I decided on Bella's Cravings. I got their Chicken Kebab Plate (small). The size was actually perfect for me, just right. The food tasted amazing. The chicken was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection. All the flavors were there. I loved the little kick of spice, along with the yogurt sauce and pickled veggies which brought it all together with the yellow rice. The small piece of pita bread was also soft. Everything in this dish was chef's kiss. There is enough seating in the area so no need to worry about space. Just grab yourself a plate and try for yourself!

    Fresh, flavorful, delicious Mediterranean food! A total standout in a city densely populated with food carts at every turn. The couple running the cart are so friendly and really take pride in serving consistently high quality food! My favorite combo, in any cuisine, is chicken, rice and salad. So at Bella's Cravings I always go with the Kabob Dinner choosing two skewers of chicken or one chicken and one shish kabob (beef.) The meats are marinated and perfectly cooked providing a depth of flavor while retaining moisture. The kabobs are served over rice along side of a huge salad of fresh greens dressed in a delicious vinegrette, the lemon adding a brightness that pairs well with the meat. I keep forgetting to bring my own container so I can eat half there and bring half home as I can never finish it all. Definitely enough for two dinners or to share. The cart itself is adorable, decorated with succulents, little white lights and faux flowers. If facing the Piedmont Pods, Bella's is on the right side next to the coffee cart. Bella's Cravings is a healthy and nutritious option without sacrificing any flavor. Highly recommend! Go, you will not be disappointed!

    I was very impressed when I stumbled upon this spot! The flavors, dish presentation, especially for a food cart & service was a solid 10/10. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for healthy flavorful food. $12.00

    Excellent quality Mediterranean dishes served in an "upscale" food truck park. My Shish Kabob was nicely spiced (albeit slightly over salted) and our other dishes were quite flavorful. Food trucks are all the rage in Portland and the food truck parks are upscaling themselves to create a more park-like picnic ambiance to distinguish themselves. Bella's Cravings is in one of the better parks with nice wooden pavilions for covered eating spaces. The truck itself is also quite artistically decorated. I'm amused by the numerous 5-star gushing the food trucks are showered with, as if they were Michelin rated restaurants. Bella's Cravings is one of the better food trucks, yet I debated between 3 and 4 stars. I heard several customers being told that their orders wouldn't be complete because the kitchen had run out of certain items. My order took close to 40 minutes to complete when I was told 15 (makes it a pain to order from multiple food trucks for a group). The food is quite good, but you're still walking up to a counter to order and eating at an outdoor picnic table (and bussing your own table - not sure why they have a tip space on the receipt).

    Great place! Super friendly customer service! The food was so yummy. I had a great experience here And would definitely recommend coming here to anyone. The ambience is fun with a hipster vibe. Cool spotb

    Amazing, Amazing food! Visited on a Tuesday afternoon with my partner towards closing time and the food was still spot on and delicious. Very unique flavors and Mediterranean dishes. I suggest the chicken Kebab plate! Please try if you haven't :) Food travels well too, I got lost on my way back to my hotel for almost an hour and the food was still delicious when I got to eat it. Very professional and Social Distance friendly too!

    Chicken Kabob plate
    Eli I.

    I've been craving chicken kabobs and saw them on the menu here so I gave it a try. Pretty darn good. The chicken itself was marinated nicely. Wish it came with more chicken though. Quite a bit of salad comes with it. Lots of rice too, but I'm not sure I like the red dusting on it but that's just my taste. Wish I had more of that chicken. Pita wouldn't have been dry if it was heated up. Overall a great and healthy meal.

    Curry Chicken Plate
    Youlee G.

    Bella's cravings is our favorite food truck and top places we go to for the best food in Portland! It is consistently amazing- so much flavor on every plate we have ordered. We love love love the curry chicken plate!!! Only Bella's Cravings can even make the side salad so delicious that I want more. Highly recommend this place, looking for to the day they have multiple locations :)

    Kebab plate with chicken and beef!
    Dylan P.

    Love this place! The kebabs are fantastic and so is the stew. Even the salad tasted pretty good. I can honestly say this is one of the few places I've eaten at where the rice is the highlight. Whatever they do to their rice, it tastes heavenly. Will be back to try more!!!

We were able to try a wide variety of dishes, and every single one was exceptional. I have dietary restrictions (no onions or garlic), and the kitchen and staff were incredibly accommodating.

It's rare to find a restaurant that can accommodate food sensitivities so thoughtfully while still delivering incredible flavor. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish, and the service was impeccable. The staff was warm, attentive, and made our birthday celebration feel special without ever being overbearing.

It ended up being a great spot. The ambiance is great and the bartender was pleasant. They have a seasonal menu, which assures me that we're going to get the freshest produce possible. We started with the Labneh & Confit Butternut Squash. It was fine, but not my favorite dish of the night. The labneh was more like Greek yogurt than cheese, which isn't a bad thing, but I would have liked a little more saltiness. The Harissa Spice Shrimp, on the other hand, was fantastic. Definitely the standout item we actually ordered. The Baked Eggplant was good too, although it didn't quite wow me. I think there was some mix up, as we were first served the Roasted Eggplant Dip. We flagged the server down to say it wasn't what we ordered, but they let us keep it. Boy were we happy about this! It was the best dish of the night (and a must reorder). The pita to go with the Labneh and the Dip was excellent too. Piping hot and just right.

The hummus tasted incredibly fresh, the tzatziki had a nice tangy kick, and the falafel balls were perfectly crispy and flavorful. For my main, I ordered the chicken breast kabob plate, which came with two skewers, rice, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. The chicken was incredibly tender and cooked just right. Overall, a great meal with fresh, flavorful food and a relaxed atmosphere. I can definitely see why my family keeps coming back--this spot is well worth a visit.

Tucked into the corner of SW 12th and Alder in the West End, the space is warm and comfortable with wood accents, soft leather banquettes, and just the right amount of energy. The Dolly Focaccia with roasted garlic and olive oil, the Roasted Carrot & Farro Salad and the Grilled Heirloom Carrots are all simple and delicious. On the pasta side, the Tagliatelle al Burro is perfect, and the Black Kale Pesto Mafaldine with roasted mushroom and the Braised Short Rib Arancini with pecorino aioli and honey are equally good choices if you're after something a little more complex. The folks who work here are knowledgeable and attentive, never intrusive. Even with the drive in now, it's worth it every time. Highly recommend, whether it's a special occasion or just a reason to head back downtown.

    This was my only other scheduled meal…read more I wanted to treat my friends to a meal on our friend's wedding day. Figured it would be the best way to kick off our day. Luckily, I was able to secure a reservation. The walk over was under 10 minutes for both of us. It gave me just the perfect amount of time to kill a j. I was ready to drink all the things. Sure enough, my hydration station had 3 options. Limoncello spritz for the fun category, water for hydration and Americano soda for the caffeine. The spritz was perfection. We started off with an order of the arancini. As we were unsure if we would like it, we got one then got another one as soon as we got our first bite. That was followed by the donuts. We were all in agreement that some type of dipping sauce would be a nice touch. My suggestion is dulce de leche. We then went to town on the broccoli &! Italian sausage, hash and tagliatelle. When I tell you - I was in food heaven. That tagliatelle was IT. My friends were kind enough to let me finish the rest. I gave way to the other two. Despite being ridiculous full, we still managed to make room for dessert. We got the cookie and lemon pound cake. Bro that pound cake can get it. The mascarpone whip on top made me tingle on the inside after I got a taste. My gawd I wanted to eat the whole thing. The biggest compliment came at the end of the night when my friend told me I chose the perfect spot and picked all the right dishes. Big thanks to Mike for taking such great care of us. He had the best response to my answer when he asked if we had allergy restrictions. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town.
