Big Elephant Kitchen

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!! Vegetarian options: Ah-maxing veg options! Just delicious every time. Kid-friendliness: Kid and dog friendly with loads of room to meet with friends or dine alone. Parking: Can get tricky. Be prepared to walk on a street that doesn’t have sidewalks but totally worth the 1.5 blocks. You will be full and appreciate the steps!

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 usually don’t do this but Jesus Christ this place is really really bad. I love Indian food and this is not Indian food what so ever. I have anxiety so I couldn’t ask for a refund but $10 for rice and some really bland vegetables and what looks like salad…I ordered veggie masala. Where’s the curry…? This is honestly nasty. Don’t go here or get the vegan curry. I could make better food in the microwave. Oh and the naan they gave me is a tortilla with some flour on it…

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!

Seriously fantastic food and they were so nice. Excellent value for money and it's great that you can easily get an order with multiple curries in one container so you can sample several things. Lots of vegan options. And not just plain rice, so eating any leftover rice alone without the curry is still really tasty. Oh, and you get a roti with your order, which was also really good. Love this place!

Update 3.23.22 I had the lamb curry, which was delicious. I had the chicken masala. Good portion. Good seasoning. Located in the french Quarter in multnomah village. The give you a buzzer to get your food when they finished preparing it.

Ordering curry in English can be hit or miss, but this place was a big hit. The portions are more generous and more nutritionally balanced than the menu would suggest, and I crave the samosas so badly whenever I’m away from Portland. On top of this the food truck is adorable and the service is so kind and friendly. Easily a five stars if I’ve ever seen one

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!

Very tasty samosas and curry. I really appreciate the multiple vegan options and that they are clearly labeled! This is a fair price for a good amount of food that is made fresh.

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.
