Great as alway! We ate at his food truck for years and loved it. New location is nice full indoor restaurant. Great food and great customer service ! read more

This is a great spot for authentic Persian food. I would recommend the beef and lamb kabobs. Appetizers were yummy too

Had the kabob combo with rice, which has the kubideh (ground beef and lamb) and chicken kabob. The cooking is on point, meat is so moist and juicy, especially the kubideh. They're like mini hamburgers cooked to perfection and I could really taste the lamb flavor but it was still a little bland for me, I was expecting more flavor and spice. I think I liked the chicken kabobs more. The seasoning that's sprinkled on top is magical, so good! Chicken is very tender and juicy. Rice is fluffy and delicious, paired perfectly with the meat. The cool yogurt sauce it scrumptious too! So fresh and creamy, even tastes awesome with the meat. They really do have the freshest and best quality kabobs here, pick this place in Portland's aisle of food truck heaven if you're craving kabobs. read more

Caspian Kabob - Combo kabob, kubideh and chicken - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

See all

Authentic food and friendly service. Love the kebab (barg special, beef/lamb, chicken) and Persian tea. Such a gem.

What an amazing place! I was headed to DesiPDX but they were not open. Lucky for me! The best lamb/beef kabob in a pita! The seasoning and flavor of meat was like nothing I have ever had. Loved the cucumber and lettuce mix with their own unique dressing/sauce. Will come here again, again and again! Only one suggestion, cut up tomatoes a little smaller in to bite size pieces. Easy with a fork. Yummy!! read more

By a landslide, the best kabob I've ever had (and that's saying something, I've spent a lot of time in Berlin-which is known for having some killer kabob). I had the Kubideh (beef and lamb) Kabob over rice. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I could eat nothing but that for the rest of my life and be happy. It came with saffron rice, roasted tomatoes, yogurt sauce, and an incredibly fresh and delicious cucumber & tomato salad. Everything about the dish was absolutely perfect (addicting even, I'll be back soon for sure). The owner was also amazing. Very kind, patient, and even brought my food to me. Who could possibly ask for more? This place is a must! read more

The best Mediterranean/Persian food in the city. You can really taste that everything was made fresh, not like every other cart that uses a frozen lamb doner. We need more like this! read more

I'll add to the chorus of 5-star reviews for this place, now that I've tried most everything on the menu. The meats are really juicy and flavorful. My favorite is the chicken on salad. Very fresh ingredients, though I do wish he said where his meats come from (hopefully natural, not factory-farm raised). The owner is friendly and nice to chat with while he's making your meal. He keeps his cart (inside and out) super clean, which I appreciate and goes a long way. Really happy they moved to the neighborhood and are adding to the best food cart pod in the city. read more

Tastes like grandmas kubideh! The rice was absolutely cooked to perfection as well! Owners were friendly and the overall vibe in there was amazing! read more

Incredible. Incredible food and incredible service. Employees are so so kind and friendly. They go above and beyond to make sure their customers have a great experience. I come here all the time now and highly recommend it :) read more

What else can I say about Caspian Kabob that hasn't already been said before? This place is putting out some of the finest Persian food in the city, all from a humble little food cart behind Prost! I've been here a few times and still can't possibly understand how the owner cooks the kabobs to that degree of perfection. It's actually unbelievable. Try the beef/lamb combo if you don't believe me. The meat is so juicy & tender, yet perfectly charred! It's truly an experience to be had. You can get the kabobs over rice rather than greens, but I can't say enough about their Greek salad. The dressing is light and flavorful, especially after mixing with the salty, meaty juices (yeah, I said it). Anyways, I love you Caspian. You are so good to me and I can't wait to see you again. read more

Caspian Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

A late night Lyft driver recommended this food cart and I spontaneously decided to give it a shot! A little back story here, I lived in Rome for a little over a year and my flat was above a Donar Kabob. I fell in love with it! When I returned to the US I struggled to find authentic Donar Kabob. Based on my Lyft drivers recommendation, I thought maybeee...just maybeee this place might have something similar. I walked up to the cart, started chatting with the owner (who is incredibly friendly), and he mentioned he had a special Monday/ Wednesday...DONAR KABOB. I quite literally had to hold back tears of joy. The Kabob was extremely flavorful, perfect balance of spices! The portion was huge! I fed me for two meals! The prices are also great! I will be making this one of my regular lunch spots from now on! read more

Amazing Persian food. Kubideh kabob is the best I've had but my very favorite thing was the kubideh sandwich. Very very delicious

Tasted like a home cooked meal. I had the salad which was extremely fresh and the right balance of veggies. It didn't even need dressing, it was so good. My husband and son had the kubideh and chicken. The kubideh was so savory and juicy, and the chicken breast was so light but juicy also and had a mild, but in a good way, yet achieved a flavorful taste. The owners are extremely kind and even let us order right before closing and didn't make us feel rushed at all. We love to support businesses like this - good food with friendly smiles and a love for what they do. Would definitely come back. This is the kind of food you can eat everyday - healthy and good quality ingredients that you can taste. read more

This is hands down my new favorite food cart in Portland (and there are a LOT of food carts to choose from!) Fast, friendly and delicious every time. I like the Caspian Kabob, half rice half salad, but I'm sure everything's good. Yum! read more

Caspian Kabob - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Food was excellent and the service was good also. I had the Gyro and my girlfriend had the Med salad. Everything was fresh and tasty.

The man should teach a masterclass on how to make kabobs and rice! Nobody holds a candle to his skills in the kitchen. I'll quit waxing poetic and tell it like it is. 1. Juicy af 2. Made me love lamb when I was iffy on it before 3. Rice? Yes please! Lacking the butteriness of regular Persian rice, but each grain is beautifully separated as God intended 4. Gimme some of that Salad Shirazi! It's tart and a perfect palate cleanser from the heaviness of the meat 5. Pretty sure his chicken is marinated in yogurt 6. He chars a tomato with every plate! That's old school 7. Masto Khiar, like tzatziki but better. 8. Victor's so chill and accommodating, he'll throw in extra sumac if you ask for it 9. Just go read more

Incredibly delicious food. Incredibly kind owner and staff. Make this place one of your regular spots!

Absolutely amazing. I've tried other food carts and their meat is always gross and dry. Caspian kabob is absolutely delicious. Juicy amazing meat. read more

The gentlemen who owns this cart is so kind!!Previously in the food carts on 10th next to target downtown this place constantly sold out of kabobs! He moved his car to Mississippi area next to Prost and I would travel to eat there still even though I work downtown. read more

Pretty solid Mediterranean food. Not many spots in North Portland. This place is in the food pod behind the German bar Prost. Service was pretty prompt and quick. I'll definitely be going back sometime. read more

Wonderful new spot in Beaverton. Super impressed with the food. I had the salad and the ground burger and lamb kabob. The service was fast and the place is very cute and clean. I will definitely be going back! read more

My rating is based on the chicken and beef kabab combo. I give it three stars because the ground beef kabab lacked the onion saffron flavor I expect from koobideh and tasted like a hamburger patty really. The chicken had an odd chewy texture. The rice was fine but also lacked the saffron richness I expect from Persian food. The service was good, the food was hot and well portioned. read more

So so so good! My family and I were in Portland for a family wedding and decided to come here and it was by far the best Persian food we've ever had! The meat was so tender and juicy and the rice has such a nice, fluffy consistency. The salad and yogurt also really helped to balance out the meat and rice's richness. The chef was also super friendly and was so willing to converse with us while he was cooking! All in all, I would definitely come check this place out if you're looking for a fresh, delicious, and inexpensive meal! :-) read more

My Persian grandmother would be so upset that I'm saying this, but these are the best kabobs I've had in America. I grew up in Iran and these bring me back home. They are so so juicy and have the perfect meat to seasoning ratio. I love a good food truck and this one does not disappoint! read more

Perfectly grilled, juicy, quality kabobs, just as flavorful as we remember from Victor's original food truck! Now a resident of a very fine new brick West End District complex in Beaverton. Really glad he made it here! read more

Great food at a great price!!! Authentic Mediterranean food, fresh and appealing. Only drawback is the lack of parking!

Best Persian food I have had in Portland, extra points for pulling it all off in a food truck: Portland style, along with very friendly service. Definitely worth trying. I have been wanting to go to this cart for a while but as it is open only on weekdays it has been hard for me to make it. But, this holiday season this small wish of mine also got granted. The food: was amazing. We had the Donner kabob in a pita with some veggies and hot sauce. The meat was very flavorful and it tasted different, read good different, than what I have had at other places. The donner meat is the Turkish influence on this Persian cuisine. We also had a taste of the Kubideh kabob, mix of beef and lamb, and it was a perfect example of how a good kabob should taste. It was juicy inside but still well cooked and very well flavored. The service: was excellent too. We reached while it was raining and it was a slow day overall. So the owner talked with us for a while explained his philosophy of only serving food that he considered good to his customers. His expression of joy achieved through serving food to others made the whole experience even more fulfilling. A must try food truck in Portland. read more

As many people before have said I shall too say these are some of the best Persian kabobs you can get in the city! Truly juicy koobideh. The owner is so humble and says "oh I just thought I would try cooking for more than my family" but I can't imagine him not having thought that because where would we downtown Portlander's be without his delicious Persian food?!?! He gives you healthy portion, accepts credit cards or cash and conveniently stays open until 4 o'clock which is later than a lot of the other food carts in the area. It's quickly become such a downtown staple. Plus the owner is so adorable and lovable that he was even featured in a local commercial, that's pretty cool. read more

Caspian Kabob is one of my favorite lunch spots in the area. I work just up the block so I've had a chance to sample many of the carts around multiple times. So far I've tried most of the items on the menu and it's hard to pick a favorite, but I will do you the favor of reviewing two of my go-to items. The barg (sirloin kabob) is always tender and full of flavor. Victor the owner, who is incredibly nice, let me in on one of the secret ingredients in his marinade, and it is evident that this guy knows what he's doing. Being Persian myself, I always order my kabob's the traditional way with a hearty helping of saffron rice, shirazi salad, and maast o' khiar (dill & cucumber yoghurt). My default order there is the koobideh (ground beef/lamb kabob). It can be really difficult to find good koobideh anywhere except a restaurant, and even then it can be hard to find a place that gets it right. Most people don't want to put in the effort to properly mince, grind, and mix the meat to the proper proportions of meat to fat to onion. Caspian Kabob has spent some time figuring out the recipe. The result is a kabob that has excellent texture and flavor. There are a lot of great food carts in the area, Caspian Kabob is among the best and if you want a taste of authentic Persian cuisine, this is the place to go. Other notes: -Every so often they make other traditional Persian stews or dishes, I don't know how they stack up to my mom's cooking but they always smell incredible and I hope that some of them make their way on the menu. read more

I had heard of this place from some friends. Heading over and visiting Portland I really wanted to visit it. Keep in mind I am very picky about my kabob. Mom makes the best. But Caspian was close to that! As a Persian/Assyrian, this was amazing! Very,very homey! Clean! And a wonderful a wonderful chef! Masht was great and the koobideh was so soft~ I wish he had tadigh! Want your Persian food fix, go there. From a Persian/Assyrian girl who is very picky about her food. 10/10 read more

The kofte salad special was phenomenal. Slider-sized lamb and beef bites (6x!) on a bed of perfectly chopped lettuce, feta and olives, finished with seasoning, was a solid choice. Much value, super tasty; I would definitely come back. GoBox friendly, too. read more

Wonderful owner. Super sweet and friendly. He is also very accomodating. At times he runs specials on a lamb shank that is delicious! His lamb kebobs are delicious. The rice and salad could use a small sprinkle of salt-but everyone's salt preference may be different. read more

My first Persian food in Oregon. Rice, shirazi salad, cucumber yogurt and veggie kabob was what I got and It was really good, and owner Victor was very nice and friendly. read more

Caspian Kabob is an excellent middle eastern food truck. I got the Kubideh Kabob on a pita. The kabob was AMAZING! It was juicy and flavorful. The salad that came on the pita with it was very refreshing. The pita itself seemed very fresh and delicious. The service was really good. The employees were very friendly. You could definitely tell they have a great passion for their food even in the limited interaction you have with them. The best part was the value. You get a lot of delicious food for a very reasonable price ($7.95 for the Kubideh). read more

Beef/ Lamb Kabob salad. The meat was juicy, tender and well-seasoned. Quality that you can taste. I didn't have the Gyro-looking item, but it's essentially the salad but with pita bread, so I know it's probably delicious too. This place knows what they're doing. I hope the stay. There are like 10 Kabob-middle-eastern-Gyro-type of places in this foodcart pod. Most of them have that old-looking ground grey meat on a spit that rotates. This place is NO such thing. The meat is legit and is made by a man named, Victor, who is the real deal. We were here at 12:30PM on a sunny friday. The line was really short and food took about 10 minutes. Come here before it gets crazy, because it will. read more

In Portland for my niece's graduation, I found myself right in front of this kabob truck with a hankering for a veggie kabob, and was quite impressed with the result! Perfectly cooked and spiced, the rice was just right, and the Persian something sauce (I forget the name, but it was the pomegranate and walnut sauce) was outta this world. The owner was super friendly, and his daughter (at the helm of the register) was super nice and quite adorable. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something quick and super tasty. read more
