Gyro Place is an awesome food cart near Portland State that serves a great chicken shawarma over rice platter. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous, making it a great value. It's a little on the oily side, but that's my only real complaint. Plus, they're open late, which makes it a perfect spot for a late-night meal. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I stumbled across this Egyptian halal food truck and couldn't resist grabbing a sausage hot dog--and wow, it did not disappoint! This wasn't your average hot dog. It was loaded to the max with flavorful toppings, including crispy fries and even some fresh sliced cucumber, which added a refreshing crunch to every bite. The sausage itself had a smoky, slightly spiced flavor that paired perfectly with all the fixings. Every bite felt indulgent but balanced. You can really tell they put thought into their combinations--it's street food done right. Quick service, friendly staff, and halal-certified. If you're craving something bold, satisfying, and a little different, definitely give this spot a try! read more

Around 1:15 AM, I witnessed a really unprofessional interaction here. A female delivery driver came in to pick up an order and was treated rudely and dismissed for no reason I could see. I also heard a comment about delivery drivers possibly not speaking English well. I'm just repeating what was said during the interaction, not verifying it. Honestly, the whole situation was unnecessary and disrespectful, especially toward someone just doing their job. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Massive lamb gyro for only $10! Lots of meat and spiced well. Mina had very friendly customer service. Located on the very corner of SW college st and SW 4th Ave. I'll be back :) read more

I am not a food cart person but this place made me reconsider that. First of all - what a completely lovely gent working there to answer all our questions with such patience. We were mighty hungry after seeing a performance over at PSU and I remembered that this spot had a few carts open late. We were there till pretty wee hours and they were still open. A lot of times you get creepers lurking around but nope, just sweet college kids grabbing late night vittles. There are some tables and trash cans across the street by the Engineering building for PSU also. We were going to sit in my car and were sort of annoyed till we saw those seats. Be aware that Portland has rats - it really is a city thing so you will see rats and its not a reflection on the food places and they won't go near you. Anyhoo... my friend is vegan and she was super happy with the options. He was out of a few things and was really great working with her so she could substitute things and also try a lot of things. I asked about the difference between the shawarma and the gyro and it is mostly the bread. They use a standard pita for the gyro where the shawarma is an Iraqi bread made local and it is bigger - do that! That bread was incredible. My friend and I were also delighted that he had Coke AND Pepsi since she likes Coke and I am Pepsi though they also have Orange Crush and I would have done that. I appreciate an ice cold beverage and options - I wish there was ice but that ain't happening at a food truck (which is one of my issues with food trucks) though my drink was wonderfully cold which was great! Their prices are pretty great too considering that portion size is epic!! read more

The owner made me a custom Philly cheesesteak loaded with steak, mushrooms, cheese, and house-made sauces, hands down the best meal I had during my week in Portland, and easily the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had. He was incredibly friendly, and you can tell he truly cares about both the quality of the food and the customer experience. Highly recommend! read more

I'm an Uber Eats driver and walked up to this cart looking for an order. I was mistaken in assuming this was the cart called Portland Gyro. It was instead The Gyro Place. And that's fine. However... the sign is extremely small. And I have a hard time seeing small letters. I asked the person behind the counter if he had the order. He proceeded to yell and berate me asking if I was able to read. I said sorry and walked off. If this is how you treat customers then I highly doubt people are lining up to eat your food. Anyways the service is highly unprofessional. Don't eat here read more

My favorite downtown halal spot with amazing options and friendly staff ! The cart is listed under the wrong address due to yelp. The actual location is 421 sw college st near PSU. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Here from Las Vegas on vacation for my 1 year with me and my lady. Wow this place needs to be in Las Vegas in Henderson green valley plaza. My father is the executive chef for a pvt golf club in Las Vegas; I know good food. There is no place in LV like this with this much freaking flavor done the right way. The #11 is the bees knees. Awesome spot. read more

Gyro Place - Halal Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great late-night grub! Location: One of the many amazing food pods that Portland has to offer. Food: The food tastes amazing. I ordered the lamb gyro and was taken back by how big the portion was! It is very much so worth the price ($7). Their most popular is the lamb gyro and I can see why. Their gyros are packed with a lot of flavor. Service: The worker was super nice and friendly. She was not only the cashier but also the cook. Your food might take awhile but it's understandable as only one person is working for the whole pod. She had a such a positive attitude. Overall, I would definitely come back to get another gyro! read more

Gyro Place - a piece of food wrapped in foil - Halal Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had my first Gyro Place gyro and fries earlier this week, and wow, I am impressed! A few friends had been recommending this food cart for a long time, and now I understand why! I enjoyed the double Lamb gyro, which in my opinion, was the perfect size to satiate my cravings. The tenderest lamb was well paired with various Greek sauces, vegetables, and warm pita. It was wrapped so well that I didn't need to worry about dropping anything on my clothes. The fries were perfectly cooked with not too much crispiness, and everything was served at the ideal temperature for a cold and rainy Monday. Thankfully, Gyro Place is on DoorDash if you cannot reach the physical store. Remember to tip - this place is good! read more

Fast service compared to the other carts in this pod. Great selection, not too crazily overpriced. Ordered the kofta saj, which was pretty spot on delicious! read more

This place was my favorite meal during our trip to Portland, for both taste and worth it factor. An actually distance too - this place was like half a block away from our hotel and open for the longest hours. My only regret is not having this on our first night as well so I could've eaten it twice! My boyfriend and I split the lamb over rice and the double lamb gyro. Both were really tasty but the dish that keeps me up at night is the lamb over rice. It's just a perfect proportion of everything - rice, meat and sauce. And the lamb is tender and so flavorful. Man I really wish I can be eating it again right now... The lamb gyro was good, but the meat was just enough even though we got the double. I think without the double, it'd definitely be way too bready, so I do wish they'd put more meat in the gyro overall. While we were only in Portland for 1.5 days and 2 nights, this place left such a strong impression, I really want to come back next time we're in town! read more

Stopped by here for a late dinner to go. It was a few blocks away from my hotel and felt a little sketchy on the way there, but the actual location is great, near the metro corridor that is patrolled by transit employees and it felt safe and lively with all the other food truck businesses and customers. I got the lamb gyro plate and it was massive, enough for two or even three meals. What a deal! Flavor was great too...I enjoyed the seasoning on the tender meat and the taste of the tzatziki sauce. Not a huge fan of the rice texture but that isn't supposed to be the star so I'll overlook it. The owner was in the back of the truck talking to security when I got there, as it was a quiet weeknight. I got his attention and he promptly took my order and started cooking. He even gave me a sample of his delicious lentil soup while I waited, a perfect amuse-bouche for that chilly night. He was very sweet. I would definitely return again on my next visit based on this experience. read more

This place is fantastic. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. The owner is super nice. I first came here in the evening on a Sunday. It was the first Sunday after the first Friday and Saturday when the Portland Light Festival started. The food is very good. I have since there two more times. I will my first choice of Gyros. The meat is cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place. Sadly I didn't take any pictures. But will try next time I visit it. read more

great service from the owner and the philly cheese steak was delicious 5 stars from me!

Quite possibly the best bang for your buck in Portland! I was staying at the Marriot across the street and needed some late night grub and found Gyro Place on Yelp. To my surprise, their lamb gyro here is ONLY $5. Yes, $5 flat. Coming from the Bay Area, I couldn't believe it, where something like that would run upwards of $13 plus tax. Aside from the ridiculously amazingly deal, the lamb gyro is delicious and one of the best I've had. The pita bread was warm and fresh, and the lamb meat was super tender, tasty, and flavorful. They don't skimp on the meat either, as it was overflowing out of the pita. I loved the gyro so much, I went back two more times before my trip in Portland ended. Contrary to what I've read in reviews, they are not open 24/7. I asked and they are open until 2 AM every day. Depending on who is making your gyro, the white sauce can be a bit much, so I would recommend asking for light sauce or sauce on the side. They make everything fresh to order, so it could take 10 min or so to wait for your order. They take credit card. If you're coming late at night, be vigilant in the area, as you will mostly likely run into a homeless person. One time when I was waiting for my order around 10:30 PM I was approached by three separate homeless people. Just FYI. read more

Gyro Place - Lamb gyro ($5 -best deal in Portland!) - Halal Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place was just alright. Halal Guys is better, and this pales in comparison to what you can find in New York on any street. Keep in mind that we visited this place when the Pacific Northwest was experiencing a terrible heatwave. The man working this place looked absolutely exhausted. He ended up closing early after us, so this just may have been an off day for him. My partner and I ordered: - BEEF KOFTA OVER RICE: The kofta was dry and rubbery. - CHICKEN PLATE: Chicken Shwarma was dry as well. Both plates came with hummus, which was standard, and a sad wilted iceberg lettuce salad. Even though prices were affordable, portion sizes were quite small. My partner and I were still hungry after finishing our food. Maybe the food here is better when it isn't 115 degrees outside! read more

Probably the best lamb gyro I've had in the Portland area. The gyro meat was recooked after ordering with onions etc. and the bread was super soft. Highly recommend. The double meat gyro was 8 but single was 5. Honestly I think the single would have been more worth it because I didn't feel that there was a double portion of meat in the double meat gyro read more

DELICIOUS! And they're open late! Nothing is ever open late for us, so we drove up for Salem and we were so happy!

Was craving some Halal guys from the east coast, and I found the next best thing! I ordered the half chicken/ half beef plate for $10, and had plenty of food. Every bite was very flavorful, and had the right balance of spicy and creaminess. I highly recommend, and will definitely come back again! It's not much, but they do charge a small $.45 fee if you were to use a card, just a heads up. Stay safe y'all. read more

Gyro Place - Half Chicken/ Half Steak Plate - Halal Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Attempted to order here. No one was up front. I saw someone in back sitting down so I tried to get his attention. He looks back and waves at me. He comes up from side of the trailer and he said "what do you want?" Very rudely. I politely say "I'd like to order something". He just nods his head and goes to the back again and sits down again. I just say screw this guy, there are other stalls open so I will just do business with them. I can understand if he was on break but if he was, he could just say he's on break, or put up a sign. Just unacceptable to be completely rude. Thumbs down read more

The food was excellent. I ordered the lamb gyro and my friend ordered the chix gyro. We could only eat half. I tried but it was just so much. It was fresh, hearty, and absolutely delish. The only negative was the server. He was a bit testy and rude at one point indicating we were on the wrong side of the truck ... ok we're a couple of out of town ding a lings. Anyhow, a lil patience and courtesy with that delicious food would go a long way. Portland is cleaning up and hopefully finding homes forpeople we encountered on the street. Most need a "hand up" vs a "hand out." Ie mental/behavioral problems. read more

Heads up. This is an over priced food truck. No where to eat. I just went to this dump thinking I could sit down and eat a gyro at a table. I showed up To the truck. No one was in line. I sat for about 5 minutes watching some guy and an elderly woman talking to each other in the truck. I walked off. Totally weird and rude. The sand which was 13 bucks. What a rip off. Portland is a total dump now. Sad. I don't know how anyone would want to visit or live here. I'm forced to be here for work. I'll eat when I get back to where I live. A place called normal civilization. read more

Excellent Egyptian Halal street food (think shawarma, falafel, etc...), open all day and night, and run by some really nice people! Halal is the rough equivalent of Kosher and offers the same benefits... food that has been prepared from harvest/slaughter to packaging under strict guidelines and inspection for quality, safety, and cleanliness. It's pretty rare to find something like this in a cart, but especially not for such generous and tasty portions and for so cheap! I've had shawarma and falafel sandwiches here. Shawarma is meat sliced off a rotisserie (chicken, lamb, beef) and falafel are vegetarian breaded and fried chick pea patties. Both are placed in a pita with a ton of veggies and sauces (including harisa hot sauce if you want it, a nice extra you don't find often here). The veggies are fresh, the meats tasty and well grilled and the whole sandwich so huge, you will need a fork or risk wearing half of it! They are open for lunch and dinner and stay open quite late... I'm not sure how late, but I've been there at 9pm and they were open on both a weekday and weekend. They have two nice little tables under an awning, which is great if it's raining or on a rare hot, sunny day. The people here are always very nice and concerned whether you liked your food and always ask customers if they liked it and listen earnestly to any feedback, but they took "nice" to a whole new level the other day... . A guy had just gotten a hotdog for his little boy and paid with a $20 he just got from the ATM (right next to the cart at 9th and Alder, convenient!). The vendor didn't have the right change, so he gave the man back his $20 and said don't worry, they could just settle up next time. The whole time, he was joking with the little boy about whether he wanted ketchup or hot sauce (the little boy wanted ketchup and the guy kept saying "OK, hot sauce!"). Gotta give extra points for that. read more

There's a million and one food trucks that will sell you a gyro on SW Alder, but this one had the best reviews (it's also listed as Gyro Place on Google). I ordered a $5 lamb gyro and proceeded to inhale it like a gyro monster right there on the street. I'm not proud of it. But in my defense, it was one of the best street gyros I've ever had. The lamb slices were plentiful and well-seasoned. There was a lot of fresh veggies packed in there as well. And both sauces, one a red hot sauce, and one the standard white sauce, were both killer and made it even more addicting. My fiancé took a bite of my gyro, then another, then another, until I told him to back off and get his own! No one comes between me and my gyro. If I lived here, this would be my dinner more often than I'd ever admit but I would be so happy. Thanks for the good eats, guys! read more

Gyro Place is hands down one of the best local dining spots that our beautiful city of Portland is honored to have at our fingertips. This establishment has mastered not only the delicious Gyro but they raise the standard when it comes to customer service, to the highest bar. There has never once been a time that I have ordered from Gyro Place and had a less than beyond satisfactory experience. Whenever my boyfriend and I have placed an order it has always been prepared beyond perfection and we have always been treated with such kindness. I can't begin to tell you how truly rare it is to be a consumer in today's society and be met with gratitude, respect, and appreciation however you will consistently be met with such principals when you visit the Gyro Place. Tonight, after spending what seemed like hours on the phone with a local food delivery service after placing a rather large and expensive order, waiting over an hour and a half for the order to be delivered, only to discover that the very restaurant I had ordered from had taken my money but never had the intention of ever filling my order because they had closed 30 minutes before I even placed it, left me not only incredibly frustrated but hungry too. The delivery service basically brushed it off as though they couldn't care less about the mishap amd then proceeded to act like I was lucky to even be refunded the money I had given them for a service they didn't provide. It was 11:42 when I contacted the Gyro Place with a my (rather decent sized) order when I noticed they stopped taking To Go orders at 11:45 p.m. After the night I was having I was losing hope when I got a response back ensuring me that my order would be filled and delivered. Sure enough, my boyfriend and I got the delicious meal we had hoped for and it was just as amazing as always. We couldn't be more grateful. The night ended on such a positive note after a day full of inconsiderate people lacking business ethics and humanity, simply due to the kindness and care from this local business that we have a whole new appreciation for. Thank you Gyro Place, for being an example of what it takes to provide our community with the highest standard of service. You really made our day! read more

I tried the Philly Cheesesteak and lamb over rice. The Philly Cheesesteak is a true delicacy. Perfectly seasoned beef, melted cheese, and fresh peppers and onions all nestled in a soft and warm hoagie roll. The combination of flavors is truly irresistible and every bite is an explosion of taste in your mouth. The beef is cooked to perfection and the cheese is always melted just right. This sandwich is a must-try for anyone looking for a tasty and satisfying meal. 5/5. read more
