    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 :)

    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!!!

The atmosphere was lively and I loved the industrial, modern decor. I went on a busy Friday night and was sat right at my reservation time. Our server was personable and friendly. They had a small mocktail selection with creative options. I went with the "worth a chai", which was spicy, sweet, and tangy. The tasting menu was $75 each for two people and we got a total of 9 dishes and left full and with leftovers. Not one dish wasn't delicious and I enjoyed how each dish had an unexpected flavor or textural element to keep things interesting. All the ingredients felt fresh and the dishes were bright in color and taste. Despite the larger quantity of food, the meal overall felt well- balanced, healthy, and not too heavy or decadent. I keep thinking about the hamachi crudo that came with this amazing smoky eggplant that complemented the vinaigrette on the fish perfectly. The radicchio salad was addictingly good with the fruity burst of sweetness from the cherries. The hummus is insanely rich and pairs well with the thick, fluffy pita. I could keep going on about each dish, but these were my absolute standouts. I especially appreciated the timing of the dishes. New dishes came out right as we were finishing the last. I will be coming back here to try more of the menu.

We tried their falafels, eggplant babaganush, lamb hummus; chicken kebabs; seasonal melon salad, salmon and chocolate pistachio icecream. the melon salad was refreshing. The pita's are very tasty.

Kebabs were soft, the salmon along with the plating and the sauce and veggies was good. The drinks were great too! The old aged whiskey was perfect.

We didn't have a reservation, but there's was room at the bar alongside the kitchen. That's always the best place to sit because it's like getting a show with dinner. Speaking of dinner, it was excellent. We started with a roasted eggplant dip served with a round, fluffy pita bread. So yummy. Next came falafel with tahina and green S'hug sauce, which gives it a spicy kick. The six falafel balls were light and airy, not dense and dry like lots of falafel we've had in the past. Finally, we ended with chicken shawarma, a wonderful confit chicken dish, nicely seasoned, sitting atop large pita pillow. We just folded it up and went from there. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. They suggest ordering two dishes per person, but you don't need to. Three dishes is plenty (even two) depending on what you get. We washed it down with a pilsner beer and homemade blackberry soda. The portions are generous. We'll definitely go back and sample several other dishes.

They serve a large, tortilla style, bread, the name escapes me, which I was able to use a variety of dips on, one a garlic mixture for dipping, I must have more! Each dip had its own flavor, cannot tell you what they were but lemon was used here and there, as well as other exotic spices. Every single thing I ate there opened with one completely satisfying flavor, and often changed to a secondary flavor that was equal too, or better than the first. Yum. The waitress was very informative and the service was efficient. The restaurant is decorated in a Middle Eastern style and it was lovely. I had their coffee. Now that was eye opening. The service they used was fancy and I truly developed an appreciation for that style-less is more, and perfect for the drive ahead. Oh! The Baklava- yes please. We had that later in the evening as there was no way to eat more at the end of the meal. Over all, I will say this: It is a restaurant I will go back too. My son treated me to a delicious meal with a man I love dearly.

The hostess and server who greeted us were very friendly and welcoming. We liked the vibe - upscale but still causal enough for us to pop in, views of the kitchen action, moody and dark decor. Our server was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed my NA Hugo spritz - they had a good selection of zero proof/NA options, so we really appreciated that. The staff kept our water filled, which is always a plus. The biggest issue we had was the pacing of the meal. Typically when we order small plates and order everything at once, we have had our dishes paced where we can enjoy 1-2 things and then move on to the next round as it arrives. In this case, we had one plate to eat from, and every dish came out one after another, so on our 2-top table, we barely had room to function. By the time we had enough of our salad and focaccia so we could stack the serving dishes to make space, our pasta dish was cold. We had ordered the Dolly Focaccia (stuffed with whole confit garlic cloves (they slid out when you picked up a piece so it was a little messy), the Dolly Caesar, the Tricolor Cauliflower, and the Mafaldine with the spicy pork ragu. The Caesar was very heavily dressed, so that made for a soggy salad. The focaccia seemed to be a touch underbaked - the inside was a little gummy. The mafaldine was good - just hard to maneuver for serving with the packed table since it was all one giant noodle, more or less. I would have loved a fresh plate at some point with all of the saucy items. The cauliflower was our favorite dish. We might have stayed for dessert, but the finagling of all of our dishes made us feel kind of rushed and feeling like we should call it. All that said, we were able to get a table without a reservation, the staff were all very friendly, and we were in and out in about an hour, so it met our needs. I am hoping we just had an off-night experience, but this wasn't our favorite meal while visiting Portland. 3.5 stars
