Garbanzos food cart in the Mittleman Jewish Community Center parking lot is the latest kosher addition to Portland's food scene. Falafel pitas and platters and other vegan options were served up to eager customers when the cart opened Aug. 12. 

Allen Levin of Century Catering & Cafe at the J has worked to ensure kosher meals remain available during the pandemic. He offered kosher Pesach meals for pick up, then added weekly kosher meals for people to take home and serve. All are under the supervision of Oregon Kosher.

Garbanzos hours are 11 am-7 pm, Sunday through Thursday, and 11 am to 5 pm Friday. All items on the menu are gluten-free, vegan, halal and certified kosher. 

You can call or text your order to 503-475-4875. Online ordering and possibly delivery may soon be added.
