“ There were at least six people in line when we got here for dinner on Saturday night. This was our first time and we didn't know what to expect. All the pictures on Yelp showed so many appetizing dishes. Everything was really delicious. The meats were marinated, not fatty, excellent! I really appreciate it that the rice was seasoned. Sides of Tzatziki and hummus along with the salad added attention to detail. We couldn't finish everything. But we will still be enjoying it all again tomorrow. Besides the fantastic food offerings... the owner is kind, efficient and cheerful! Thank you! SHUKRAN ”
“ This spot is damn good. The sabzi and kebabs are so satisfying and the fresh sauces make everything pop. ”
“ 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! ”
“ My goodness. Best chicken Kabob in the Northwest. Hand downs yes.... Best chicken kabob in the world. If not I bet it's close. This place is absolutely DE-LIC-IOUS! I could eat here ten times a day and it's literally making my mouth water even though I'm stuffed! I will be back as along as it's opened. If you are hunting for a great meal. Do not skip this place! ”
“ Well, the reviews are correct - the food is good. I've tried this place a few times now in the Piedmont Pods. Good portions and reasonably priced, the small size has always been enough to fill me up plenty ($12). I've tried the Armenian slow cooked beef, Chicken Curry, and beef saaj. They were all very good but I listed them my favorite to least favorite. Beef saaj was still great but the spices on the Armenian beef and chicken curry were exquisite. I didn't even mind their salad which had a tasty pink yogurty dressing, but the last time I went they switched it to a more normal like ranch type :( and my only other complaint is that all the times I've been they are sold out of those delicious looking stuffed bell peppers, maybe they just don't do them anymore. ”
“ Friendly staff. Had the chicken kebab and the chicken sash plate. Both were delicious. Very happy. ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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 ”
“ 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! ”
