    Lamb Gyro
    Bill C.

    Wishing I lived in Portland! We were in town visiting family and friends and stopped at the food trucks on a lark. I love a good gyro but I'm usually disappointed. Nevertheless, I gave it a shot and I'm so glad I did! There's a place in my hometown that serves as my benchmark for quality and quantity for the past 30 years. Gyro Kingdom gives them a run for their money and might be coming out on top. The only one I've had that was better was in Athens! The gyro was huge. I had trouble eating it without making a mess and took to fork and knife. The meat was delicious. I think that many, if not most, of these places buy the meat wholesale. Whether they do or not, Gyro Kingdom adds some extra seasoning that makes the meat sing. Rather than the subtle (but good) seasoning of gyro meat, they had bolder more pronounced flavors. Lastly, the sauces. I'm usually a straight tzatziki guy but I asked for the others on the side. I loved the spicy sauce especially. Get all three and work them together. My only complaint? It seemed slow. There were three guys in the truck, I was the only customer, and it seemed to take forever. Not as long as one of the other trucks where my wife was getting food, though. As long as the weather's nice, which it was, it's worth the weight. Or I guess you can call ahead.

    If your hungry this is the place to go late night or anytime - this is number 17 instead of pita in a wrap (duo meat combo lamb and chicken)
    Martin W.

    It's a food cart and that doesn't mean it's bad, I for my self like to know before I'll go and expect a restaurant. But there are plenty of seats under a roof. The service is rough on the edges but still very friendly and try to accommodate your wishes. I'll don't like pita much so he gave me a combo gyro in a wrap. That wrap was longer as my arm and well filled with delicious lamb and chicken meat (hence combo). The garlic aioli and the tzatziki was excellent. It's a lot of food and I will not complain. In the beginning I thought $17 is expansive for Portland. But not when you finally get the food! Since it's so much you will not leave hungry. So I for sure will coming back and also good to know is that they have open late - next time I'll have to try their falafel.

    This place is really good! The service is great and the food is delicious! The beef arabi is 9 out of 10. The orange sauce with this Arabi is amazing! Give this truck a try!

    Tasty food at Gyro Kingdom, located at the Barley Pod Food Court on Halsey and NE 60th. We ordered the lamb gyro, a Greek salad, and a side of tabbouleh. The gyro was quite large and like others have pointed out not the kind of item you'd want to carry around while eating. Generous salad and nicely seasoned tabbouleh. More food than we'd expected given our experiences at other food carts offering the same menu items. Friendly and cordial service. Looking forward to trying more of their Syrian take on what we ordinarily think of as Greek food.

    I got the #14 and it was absolutely fire, finished it in 5 minutes. Everything from taste, sauces, portions, customer service, and timeliness. I'm in love with this place it did its big one in my book. Please come and eat here and support them cause their food is absolutely FIRE

    My favorite food cart in the Barley Pod was closed during our visit, so I pivoted to something else, and decided to try out Gyro Kingdom. Who doesn't love Mediterranean food, right? My wife and I both ordered the lamb gyro, and let it be clearly known that these are definitely not portable portions: they're massive, saucy and sloppy, but in a good way. Definitely fork-and-knife cuisine. The pita is nice and fresh, a little chewy, making it a challenge to slice through with plastic cutlery. The inclusion of a straight-up pickle, instead of regular cucumber, is an interesting choice, and definitely makes this gyro stand out among others that I've sampled at other locations; YMMV on whether or not this modification will fit your individual tastes - I liked it, anyway. Also sampled the sides of garlic (kinda bland and flavorless) and spicy sauces (peppery, savory, pretty good), but neither are required to enjoy the entrée. Overall, a pretty solid gyro; not my favorite, but still a solid (and sizeable) sandwich, with plenty of bang for your buck.

    Food is delicious, portions are generous, and the service is quick and friendly. The patio seating next to a brewery is also lovely. What's not to love about this place, I am a customer for life.

    Massively sized, and massively good
    John K.

    I've been to Gyto Kingdom before, when they were another location, and was happy to find them on my first visit to this particular cart pod, and I decided to go with comfort food. My gyro was enough for two meals, and, happily, the leftovers reheated beautifully. The gyro was huge, and just what I was hoping for in terms of flavor. There were 3 sauce options, hot, garlic, and tzatziki. I declined the hot sauce, and found plenty of enjoyment in the other two condiments. This will be a hard item to pass up on my next visit to this pod.

    I was recommended this place by a stranger I trust who swore that this was her favorite food. Did we drive halfway across Portland to get it? Yes. Did I almost miss my flight to get this? Also yes. Was it worth it? Also yes. At first, after ordering, I was wondering why I didn't just try a bite and order something else as my dish from one of the many other food carts. In fact, I was kicking myself over it. However, once I took a bite I was very happy with the choice made. This honestly might be one of my favorite food dishes that I've had. It is a good sized meal that is packed with flavor. Sometimes a wrap like this can be too dry, sometimes too soggy. This was perfectly blended with sauces. A nice kick, but also a cooling sensation in every bite. The meat was great. The bread was soooooo good, toasted perfectly. Every bite just came together with perfection. Another key point is that the way it was wrapped made it manageable to bite into while also holding it together (often a big problem with gyros - they can fall apart too easily). All in all, would definitely recommend this to anyone who lives in Portland or is visiting the Portland area. They need to franchise this and pop them up in every city across the country. By the end of it, I decided I'd be willing to drive all the way across Portland for it, not just halfway.

We weren't too hungry and ordered 3 dishes to share - the hamachi crudo, baked feta with Blackberries, and braised Greek greens. The service was pretty fast, we received our food within 15 mins. The hamachi crudo was tasty with fresh fish that balanced well with the yummy smoked eggplant, tamarind soy, black harissa mayo, and crispy ginger. The baked feta was the heartiest dish, it came out with piping hot pitas to dip into the creamy savory/sweet feta and blackberries. The braised Greek greens felt like the most basic dish out of the 3, collard greens cooked with a lemon/olive oil finish, which tasted as described but not exciting enough to order again. Just as the name implies, this restaurant is a nice way to try Mediterranean dishes for those who don't eat it often. Admittedly, the cuisine isn't in our top favorites, but all the dishes were executed well, true to their description, and made for some fun bites.

It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long.

Also Chicken Kabob Mezza Platter with Pita bread. It was not until we're done eating, and ready to get up, did I notice there was cubed cucumber in the thaziki. But, it's got a very strong vinegar flavor, but I did like the hummus and the ghanoush. (When we eat at these places, we always pick the lamb shanks, btw). I had the other half, for my dinner tonight. The server was friendly, helpful and responsive. The atmosphere, was pleasant, and the photo taken of me, hubby thought I could pass as an Iraqi woman!
