Portland Indian Food Cart DesiPDX Suddenly Closes Its Upright Brewing Location - Eater Portland
"Desi PDX, a popular Indian food cart from Deepak Saxena, suddenly closed its location in the Upright Brewing food cart pod in late October. Saxena said that sales at the cart were not covering the costs of being open. In addition to the Upright Brewing pod location, Saxena also operates a DesiPDX cart in the Prost pod, and an Indian brunch restaurant, Masala Lab. Before opening DesiPDX in 2015, Saxena spent 20 years as a software developer. The menu is influenced by flavors he was raised on and Oregon’s natural bounty of produce, with dishes like a masala pulled pork bowl, a fenugreek-marinated methu mirchi shrimp bowl, and tea-brined cardamon chai chicken." - Rebecca Roland
