We just had our 2nd meal here and it was fantastic! How is their butter chicken and naan so good?! We have tried a lot of Indian restaurants over the years and based on flavor, quality and naan, this might be our new favorite! Definitely try their butter chicken on your first visit. We tried their butter bombs and they were excellent as well. Customer service was great! We were well taken care of. We will be back! read more

I simply love this place. They are one of the very rare chaat houses in the uses which combine high quality homemade chaat, with authentic taste and excellent customer service. Their vada paav, chole bature, paratha and chicken curry are something I just can't have enough of. Thank you for being there! The ambience is fun too with good outdoor sitting read more

Jan 20, 2025 review Chana bhatura- 7/10 Aloo parantha- 7/10 Dahi puri- 9/10 Seating option - bunch with table/benches available with heaters inside a tent so pretty good even with a cold weather. Bhatura: it had the whole wheat mixed up, it was soft. Chole were also good, not too much spicy. Came with pickle and onions. Dahi Puri was the best of all. Parantha could be a bit better. Layers were sticking together at some places and aloo was not spreaded evenly. Owner is friendly person and like to mingle with customer and chat with them. Its run by owner and his wife. Also I heard from a friend that they pack the food very nicely if you are taking to-go. read more

I got the butter chicken following a very spirited recommendation from the guy running the cart. He was very friendly and social, definitely ready and willing to take care of his customers. He saw my pasty whiteness and warned me of the spice levels I asked for. I appreciate that, but I ordered spicy anyway and it was the perfect spice level for me. I do not frequent Indian food at all as it tends not to agree with my stomach (I think I have some sort of cumin sensitivity if we're being honest) but Indian food in general agrees with my palate. The butter chicken was awesome, nice tender chicken, tasty curry. The naan though? That had to be the best naan I've ever had, hands down. I got garlic naan. Really good, would come again! read more

We set out to grab noodles tonight, but on a whim decided to check out a few of the other food carts nearby, and thank god we did. Hands down the single best decision I've made this week. Somehow, after living in the area for a little over a year, we had no idea this gem existed. No Google search ever pointed us here, and not a single friend, neighbor or solicitor has ever mentioned it. It's the kind of secret you want to scream about from a mountaintop... but also selfishly keep to yourself. We weren't even planning on getting Indian food, we were literally waiting on our order from another truck when the owner of this cart walked over and offered us a sample of their "Loco Bowl" and the "Butter Bombs." BUTTER BOMBS!!!!!!! One bite and... game over. Walked straight over, and left with not one, but two extra dinners. The flavors? Unreal. The kindness and hospitality? Off the charts. If you live anywhere near here, there's no excuse to sleep on this place. And if you don't -- make the trip. It's absolutely worth it. read more

We got a Channa Bhatura and Vada pav Channa Bhatura was amazing and was also decent portion size for a person. The bhaturas were soft and was also freshly fried. The Channa curry was moderately spicy and tasted good with freshly chopped onion served on top of it. I like the vada pav but it wasn't the best. It was warm as well. read more

My favorite item has to be their Four Curry Combo. Here you can get four different curries on one plate, and they were all different and delicious. I think my curry plate was vegetarian as they came with Paneer and Chick peas, which is quite healthy. I enjoyed the buttery sauce and flavorful spices so much, even the left overs were a treat. We also ordered a Chai tea and a Mango Lassi and loved both. They were flavorful without being overly sweet. Overall I would recommend it and I can't wait to try the curry combo again! read more

Good decent food. 3 course veg thali is a go to item. Curries are light and not so sugary. Limited items. Prices are a touch high and only veg. Give it a try if you crave for good North Indian veg food read more

We ordered the butter chicken, Samosas and they made us fresh butter bombs, even though they were out. Well worth the wait! Absolutely delicious food and the owners kept us company while we ate. Extremely nice couple. Check them out, there's plenty of shaded seating. read more

The best curry hands down in the area. We had the curry special with garlic naan and samosas. The sauces were all delicious and customer service was excellent! This husband and wife team were wonderful to chat with and the food was fresh, tasty, and well made. I enjoyed all the curry sauces sampled, the rice was well made, and the naan was soft and the perfect amount of garlic. I enjoyed the homemade spicy sauce that came on the side. Will be back again and often!!! read more

I love this place! It's on my top Indian food places in town. My only complaint is that it's not open for longer hours and isn't closer!! They operate as a food truck with the closest to home made food you can get in a restaurant. Their palak paneer is amazing. But their parathas are the real winner - soft, tasty and almost feels like a warm comforting hug! The folks who operate the truck are very nice. They've given us complimentary chai when we've waited for our food - and guess what, the chai is really good too! I sincerely hope this place never closes! read more

This is my family's favorite Indian food in the Portland area. We live in central Beaverton and while we have closer options we've started driving out of our way to get their food. My kids absolutely love the mutter paneer and I'm a huge fan of the chana bhatura. They've started serving butter chicken which is also fantastic but their food is so good and satisfying that I find myself not caring about whether there is meet or not. The owner is also super nice. Highly recommend anyone in the area trying this place out. read more

This place has made me love Indian Food. The Pani Puri is so good - my 4 year old daughter asks to go every weekend just to get some. The owner is so nice and gets joy from seeing people eat her food. It's India street food, and it's fantastic. Highly recommend the masala fries and the chana bhatura as well! read more

We made the drive out to Hillsboro last night to get some chaat and had a very lovely evening. The owner of the truck was super chatty and very fun to banter with. The chaat was very tasty and we discovered a new favorite dish, the Yummy Curry (highly recommend!). The food truck pod had many good choices, there's a large covered area with clean picnic tables and there were several outdoor heaters. There was even a goofy movie dubbed in Spanish playing on a large TV in the background and many sweet families stopping by which both contributed to the light-hearted, fun atmosphere. Great experience! read more

Has remained our favorite vegetarian restaurant while recognizing the generations of chefs from their family business. They deserve the patronage of all vegetarians. Great food! read more

I've always "liked" Indian food, and I'm fortunate to have several very good options close by, but this place has me LOVING Indian food. I can count on one hand the number of places I'll go and tell the server to pick for me, and this is one of them. Everything on the menu is vegetarian-friendly, which is awesome because I'm used to only seeing one or two vegetarian options most places. I've tried something new every time I've gone, and it has all been excellently spiced and flavored. Look for this cart at the back of the cluster kind of hidden behind Walgreens off Alexander and 197th. Go see Harvey and his beautiful family and tell them Topher sends his regards! read more

I have been eating here for almost 20 years now, since before the name change, since before the move from Downtown Portland, since before the drama with the cart ownership, and let me say that the Muter Paneer here is hands down my favorite meal on the planet, bar none. Harvey is the BEST and always manages to put a smile on my face. When they say the food is made with love, they really do mean it. This place means so much to so many people, and for a good reason. read more

Taste was quite good and unique. Loved their Dahi puri chaat; Vada pav was so so. However price seems a bit too much (considering the amount served). read more

I have been frequenting this food cart for over a decade. Actually I think this is where I got to know Indian grub. Man oh man...these dishes got flavor galore. Even though I don't work downtown anymore I walk this way when I got a hankering. Yeah...it's that good...scratch that...it's that amazing. The lunch special is where it's at w naan bread, rice and a few curries to try. Some faves are the pishwari naan and navrataan korma. I might've spelled that wrong but I'm mos def right that this is how Indian food should be...flavorful and oh so fulfilling. Sometimes served with a side of comedy with the ever so amusing @funharvey. read more

Went here to try the new carts. This was one of the only ones open. They were definitely worth it. Portions were large, flavorful and fantastic. The service was even better. I love family owned places and supporting our local economy. I will definitely be back. read more

So rude .... Came here with my husband after working 17 hours straight. When I the female breadwinner of my family pulled out my sole debit card the owner asked my husband and I if we were "together, together " we responded yes we are married, despite the intrusive questioning . He responded "oh ok when you pulled out the debit card I figured it was a joint account" I mean what do you say to this disgustingly rude and weird line of questioning just to get some food. It was so demeaning to be talked down to like this, as if I as a women could not possibly be paying with my own money. This sexist perspective made my husband and I feel judged and disrespected. We will not be returning and I will let all my female breadwinner friends know they will be degraded here. ....... Giving a tablespoon sample of tea to sale a product in no way gives a hall pass for being sexiest. No one during a business exchange has the right to make comments about or question how their customers make, spend, share or don't share finances . This was not a joke it was not said with laughter or comical approach. I can joke around and have quite a bit about this very topic with FRIENDS .... Have some decency and wake up not every women is sharing her husband's money and not every man is the breadwinner of their family. Family can be anything a couple wants it to be. A stay at home dad is not less then a stay at home mom and some women bring in more money then their husband could ever make and some women never work. read more

They've reopened with a brand new cart in Aloha. The food is just as good as before! And it's still a great deal. The combo lunch always ends up being two meals for me. And the owners are such nice, friendly people. Very highly recommend!! read more

I can't believe it's taken me so long to visit one of the most unassuming, oldest, and best food carts in Portland. Such great vegetarian food and such amazing prices for the quantity and quality! I just had the little "starter special" with Dal Tarka and Navratan Korma, so yummy and the perfect portion for my diet. The menu is huge and completely vegetarian . Of all the Indian food carts, including Taste of India and Real Taste of India, this is my #1, and it's a bit away from the madding crowd, enough to qualify as a hidden gem. I can't recommend it enough. Say hello to Harvey for me! read more

Naan Loco - Indian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Bombay Chaat House has been in business since about 1998. Harvey, his mum and now his wife serve up some delicious home style Indian food. Everything is vegetarian and most items can be made vegan upon request. Their lunch special is a bargain and includes naan, rice and three chefs choice curry dishes. It is served mild to appeal to the general population. But if you really want to sample their cooking skills order something a la cart from the extensive menu. You won't be disappointed. I have tried much of their menu over the years and found everything to be delicious. Of course when ordering a la cart you choose mild, medium or hot spice level. Everything is served in takeaway containers but there is some limited seating available if you wish to eat here. Harvey and his family are very nice people and they appreciate their customers. If you want to try some yummy vegetarian Indian food this is a great place to visit! read more

This is hands down the worst Indian food I've ever had. The mutter paneer was completely tasteless, the channa masala was so bland it was like eating garbanzos from a can. The samosas were filled with what amounted to unseasoned mashed potatoes. No other veggies or spices. Honestly, the entire meal reminded me of hospital food. The only saving grace was the mango lessi, which helped me wash down the dry, tasteless food. EDIT: The owner (presuming Harvey is the owner) of the truck doesn't like my review so he has been badgering me to prove I actually ate there. WHAT ON EARTH is wrong with people? I don't care if other people like your food, my experience was clearly different. Harassing me and calling me a liar isn't helping the situation. 2nd edit: The owner is still badgering me hours after I left this review. I never sent him the receipt so he is lying about that. Being inundated with his comments is pure harassment. I just don't understand what he thinks he's going to accomplish by treating customers this way. I wonder how many other negative reviews people wrote that he badgered them into taking down. read more

We ordered chole bhatura and biryani. Chole bhatura arrived first and they were delicious and we ordered another plate. The biryani was decent as well. The chef and the person on the counter Ishu is very sweet and she helped us with some extra onions and a side of yogurt on request. A simple chole showed the flavors of Indian cooking. Pomegranate molasses and some raw onions were added on boiled chickpeas and it tasted delicious. Chole bhatura is a famous North Indian street food and is loved by everyone. The bhatura bread served here is soft and perfectly cooked. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try some Indian flavors. The food truck is open until 5 pm I guess. However, if you are in Portland downtown during that time, don't forget to try it. read more

Now I know why this place has a high review score. It's because they report any negative reviews to Yelp to have them removed. Below is my review they had removed, with [another downtown establishment] in place of the actual name of the place: Not sure why this place has such a high review score, 'another particular downtown Indian food establishment I have in mind' has such a mediocre rating. 'Said other downtown Indian food establishment' is WAY more flavorful than this spot, and a tad cheaper. I've taken into consideration that the bland flavor might be attributed to the fact that this place is solely vegetarian (which might actually be the case). However, I have ordered vegetarian Indian dishes at other establishments and that certainly has not been the case. No malice intended. read more

My wife LOVES chaat food and it was a must have for us during our wedding weekend. Coming from Indian families with home cooking, and having lived in northern California for the last decade-plus, we were both very spoiled with the quality of Indian food we expected. Bombay Chaat House easily met those lofty expectations we had! Harvey and his team came to our event to set up and serve three dishes (Bhel Puri, Dhahi Puri, and Papdi Chaat). The food was amazing and our guests all loved it! Harvey went above and beyond to also provide some parshad for our Sikh ceremony the next morning. We really loved Harvey's food and are excited to come back to his truck and eat there again! read more

Me and my wife came here for food, and the owner was very sexist when my wife pulled out her card to pay . He asked if we were together, and we replied yes we are married. Then he said that her card must be linked to mine ."Not sure exactly what supposed to mean". This is very sad because she is the breadwinner and I'm a stay at home husband. He gave us a little shot glass of warm tea, but this doesn't give him the right to be so disrespectful. Very poor customer service. He should keep his opinions to himself and not drive off business read more

Edit: is the owner on crack?! Oh my god this review is from an experience 3 months ago but okay dude, you "checked the camaras", lol. Guess their customer service is shit too! I'm amazed at the insecurity and unprofessionalism. YIKESSSS I loved that they are 100% vegetarian but their food wasn't that good. We ordered the daily special and they were out of 2 of the 6 items in the lunch special. We thought whatever, it's like 6 bucks what can you expect. In hindsight, not much! One of the entrees tasted like nacho cheese and the other was spinach and wasn't salted at all. They do let you know all of their dishes are prepared mild and they aren't wrong about that. Hot sauce didn't help. The naan was good but nothing exceptional. The lunch special is enough to share between two people but you will both end up with upset stomachs. read more
