The chicken Saj was AMAZING! It was honestly twice the size of my picture. We got this two days in a row and wanted more. The guy was so kind and friendly, we called ahead and he had everything by ready to go in 10 min. Super good bang for your buck, this is one of my favorite food trucks in Portland. read more

Ordered a falafel saj over uber eats. It was my first time and it won't be my last. The falafel tasted delicious and held up throughout the wrap. It wasn't soggy or breaking apart. My new go to for falafel. read more

Really good chicken gyro. The size was huge though. Gets really hard to eat the way it's made - basically like a big open taco. Fries tasted great too - with that simple homemade taste. This is inside The Cart Blocks square. There's some shared covered seating in the square. And ample street parking in the 1-2 blocks surrounding it. read more

This is my go to for AMAZING Middle Eastern cuisine. It's literally 100 steps from my daughter's apartment in DT Portland.

Great gyro place in the pearl. Located on burnside right below the north park blocks. Nestled between a Chinese and Mexican place Owner is super friendly. Recommended the chicken saj - we opted for a chicken and lamb gyro. Both tasted great - packed with a TON of meat. We ate it at home and added some greens to it to balance out read more

This food cart is in a pod and at first it doesn't jump out at you. I love Mediterranean food, so I lingered a little at the menu. I was excited to see dolma, which I had been absolutely craving lately, and samosas. I ordered both. The food was made to order, (except the dolma) and the service took about 5-7 minutes. If you would like to eat right away, there are several picnic tables available in a community area in the middle of the pod. There were people who appeared to be eating on their lunch breaks and families with small children enjoying the outdoors and atmosphere. I had beef samosas, which were new to me. I have only had vegetarian before. They were crispy, fresh, and filled with ground beef and minced onions. I got 5 samosas for $14 and 7 dolma with cucumber & yogurt sauce for $7. It was way too much food for me to eat in one sitting, so I had the rest for leftovers. I had another samosa cold for dinner with the leftover dolma. The next morning I warmed the last two samosas in a pan. They were delicious as leftovers. If 5 stars = crave-worthy, then I can't imagine giving anything less. I can't wait to go back to this food cart. read more

Very nice couple. The lady gave me a sample of lamb and I was hooked.. Ended of buying a lamb burrito.. I know, I know it's not a buritto, but wasn't sure what it was. Whatever it was, it was sooooo good and had so much flavor. Loved every bite. I attached a picture of how big it was. Way bigger than my hand. Will definitely come back to this place when I'm in Portland. read more

Great food, Great service, amazing people highly recommend. I will be coming back and love the atmosphere

The food was absolutely delicious and the owner was incredibly friendly! Highly recommend the baklava!!!

Fresh off the plane and definitely had to hit up the Alder food carts on my first night in town. With so many choices and yummy smelling food it can be hard to make a decision, so I turned to trusty Yelp as a guide. I saw Kafta House had 5 stars off the bat so I had to go with them! On to the food! I asked the clerk which rice plate he recommended. He said chicken shawarma so I went with that. As I expected, it was super delicious! Flavorful, tender, and juicy chicken complemented with the aromatic rice. The hummus and yogurt was yum as well. I definitely left satisfied! The service was very friendly as well! I definitely give these folks a recommendation! read more

Well seasoned, with perfect burnt ends. Quick service and well manors. Street food. Hit the spot

Juicy tender meat that will melt in your mouth. I got lamb gyro with extra meat for $7. Gyro was filled with meat and not too big chunks of tomatoes which was a plus! My second visit and I had the same experience. Great service and good food. This guy definitely doesn't need to yell to get customers. Must try! read more

It may only be a good cart but their lamb is delicious. Fresh made tzatziki and hummus just add to the explosion of flavor. Even the rice was divine. read more

1st stop on my mini-crawl to try different food carts in DT PDX. The owner here hooked me with a sample of lamb, and that was enough to get me hooked! The way he cooked it had the sample of lamb melt in my mouth and bursting full of flavors. After that sample I ordered the lamb gyro. The breading in the gyro did not have me as stuffed as I usually am when I eat any form of carbs, there was generous amount of meat in it as well, with a nice balance of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. What topped it off for me was the substance added on top of that did it for me. Something I really appreciated about visiting Kafta House food cart was being able to talk to the owner and have a very personable conversation with him as he cooked. A family man, that made me feel as if I was a family member receiving a home cooked meal. I highly recommended Kafta House on any one's food crawl of food carts in DT PDX! read more

We had both beef and lamb gyros from here and they were the best we have ever had!! Super flavorful and delicious. Be warned they are a 3 or 4 napkin meal but totally worth it. We actually came back on a Friday two days after to eat there again but although their page says they should have been open they were closed. So maybe phone Tom make sure they are open. read more

Did Somebody Say Shawarma? Anyone that really knows me is aware of my addiction to Shawarma... Especially Chicken Shawarma with the thick garlic sauce. When I see a new spot to get Shawarma I simply cannot resist that aromatic taste of heaven that melts in my mouth and makes the birds sing. I stopped in for a taste and am glad I did, it was outstanding! The service was friendly and I would be a regular if I didn't live over 1,000 miles away.... Stop in for a bite! read more

Food is delicious, and the meat is tender. Get the lamb wrap!! Ahmad was extremely friendly and welcoming, and he made sure we got an adequate lay of the menu. The food cart is family-owned so please support this local business! We walked over, and we're very impressed by the flavors and quality. Only qualm is that the price can be on the high side - although this is a trend with Portland food carts. read more

Beef sharwma plate, how can you go wrong?! There were so many different food trucks that were selling sharwmas that we just picked one that looked good. This one, the Beef had lots of flavor.

Literally the best lamb gyro I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend. Falafel was also amazing.

Really delicious lamb kafta. The owner was also really nice. Portions were quite large, and service was fast

Among the many food carts at the large food cart pod along SW 10th Avenue, I picked out Kafta House to try. Kafta is one of my favorite Middle Eastern food items, so a cart with the word "Kafta" in its name was an easy choice for me. Looking at their menu with pictures was helpful because I saw what a "saj" was. I had never heard of it before. I ordered a Kafta Saj, with grilled kafta, lettuce, tomato, and onion. A saj is essentially like a gyro, with the same ingredients except it is long, skinny, and tightly wrapped. . .instead of being wide, loose, and floppy like a gyro. Really, it's much tidier and easier to eat than a gyro. The kafta at Kafta House was flavorful and moist, befitting of the name of their cart. I was also impressed with the friendliness of the guys working there. . .smiles all around. I'll be going back. read more

The lamb saj is delicious!! As someone who has never really tried any food truck food, this was soo good. I loved their unique sauce they added along with the hot sauce. Also, the lamb saj was super long, maybe 10 inches?! Definitely filled me up - great for a lunch priced at $8. Only complaint is that it took awhile to cook up, but worth it read more

I'm still not sure what I think of the food truck phenomenon in this town. However I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. I had one of the lamb meals. It was very satisfying. If you're not sure they give out samples. That's how I got reeled in. If you are staying in Portland you have to do the food trucks once and this place is an excellent choice read more

In a sea of shawarma places in the area, I will say, it was pretty smart of this one to give out samples, so I could tell the quality up front and then decide to buy some even though we were on our way to get something else at the time. Specifically, I'd never had a "saj" before (or even heard of it), so clearly had to try that. It was quite tasty, and *relatively* large, but I was spoiled by Small Pharoah's in both food-to-price ratio and in overall deliciousness, and it totally doesn't compare to their sandwiches in either category. Infinitely easier to eat without it falling apart, though, I'll give it that. Not an enormous amount of food for $8, though, just a decent amount. It was slightly more flavorful meat, though (but only slightly - both were excellent, Small Pharoah's just added more flavorful *other* stuff, making it now my gold standard for this sort of sandwich). read more

Amazing chicken shawarma! Probably one of the best ones I've had. Also, the serving size is very good, quite filling. Service was great, such a nice family business. They even offer samples of the meats, if you want to try it. read more
