Hello everyone, we apologise for being closed for the past week. Our foodcart is still without power as of this morning. We hope to be able to open as of Tuesday but it soley relies on the abilities of the electrical company to restore the power.

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!

I am a big fan of Indian food and a firm believer that health can be improved with good nutrition and the use of herbs in cooking and appreciate the work, love and families who share their good health in foods with others. I look forward to trying more dishes at The Big Elephant. I absolutely loved the Roti and could not get enough of them. I went back the next fay and ordered eight more for myself-YUMMY! Thank You!

I loved this place when it was a small restaurant on N. Williams and so happy to see their cart in Multnomah Village!! Had a roti bowl with curried shrimp. $7 for this delicious meal with plenty left over for another meal. Delicious and authentic!!
