"Desi PDX, a food cart whose dark wooden siding is brought to life with long strokes of green and orange paint, is hidden behind Prost on North Mississippi Avenue alongside local cart heavyweights like Matt’s BBQ. Desi serves a number of stunning bowls and plates of Bengali five-spice basmati rice topped with everything from fenugreek-seasoned shrimp to rich and fragrant melanges of lamb and kale simmered with tomato and butternut squash. But it’s hard to leave without an order of the cardamom chai chicken, made with drumsticks brined for 24 hours and then steamed in tea, deep-fried in rice bran oil, and coated in a coconut sugar-based tea glaze. Owner Deepak Saxena also owns the Indian American cafe Masala Lab." - Rebecca Roland, Ron Scott, Eater Staff
