A beautiful spring day in Portland- perfect to hit the food carts! Portland has thriving food carts that specialize in everything from Lemonade and Indian to Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Mexican. Today we decided to get lunch at Bombay Chaat House. Bombay Chaat House sits right next to India Chaat House and there is a big story of rivalry between the two cart owner (or ex-owner of one of the carts) that has received a lot of local press. In my opinion and apparently a lot of others (telling by the relative crowds), Bombay Chaat House seems to have better lunch plates and more authentic tasting food. In addition to the lunch plate which is a mere $5.00 and is accompanied by free Chai, their Chaat items (which are spicy and somewhat elaborate snacks) are unbeatable. My greed got the better of me today and I was able to talk my husband into splitting Papdi Chaat and a whole lunch plate- both large portions of yummy, spicy food. If you’re ever in Portland, hit the Indian food carts on 11th and Yamhill. What I love most though is the fact that both carts serve 100% vegetarian food- which means I can eat anything on the menu!
