    Whaaaaat!?!
    Mojdeh S.

    How I heard of this place: Visiting Portland, friends suggested Persian Kabab as the best in the city. It was out of the way last time, but we made it be on our way this time. Type of cuisine: Persian food in a Southwest food cart! Ambiance: It's a food cart, so less to write about, as it faces the street, along with about a dozen other carts serving Mediterranean, Mexican, Japanese and other meal options. The cart is pink with a sketched drawing of the proprietor, who looks just like the drawing! What I ordered: We selected a mixed combo (joojeh & Loo idea kababs) with rice and BBQ tomatoes (additional $1 each). The two meals were served in a foil container "to keep it hot" (a nice, thoughtful touch), with fresh basil, and spicy red onion on the side. What I loved: the joojeh (chicken breast) kabab was juicy, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The rice was flaky and lightly greasy, which we loved. BBQ tomatoes can't be missed! Why I loved it: Friendly proprietor, delicious food, and a pink-painted cart! Cost: Average

    Amazing time and a kind guy he will hook you up! Great service and food from a rich culture. If you love kebab he does the street food style well.

    Double beef and rice kabab

    The best kababs my husband and I have ever had! This place is so underrated. The portions are generous for the price and the flavor is definitely there. Amazing place

    One of the things I crave the most in the city of Portland. I cannot express in words how much I love this place + how kind the man who owns it is. I will say... I think they have changed the recipe from when I first had it and I liked it more before BUT it's still amazing. FOOD: Always get the double chicken plate and used to get the lamb but it doesn't seem to be on the menu anymore. This time around, got the beef as well and it was very good. Still think the chicken is my fave. The rice is sooo good. I wish I could eat it every day + the yogurt on the side is a must. AMBIANCE: Not much of an ambiance to report since it is a food cart. Parking could be a bit tricky because it's on a weird street but there is street parking around it. SERVICE/PRICE: Service is always so good, super nice. Price is fair for the quality and happiness this food provides me. Food: 4.7 Ambiance & Cleanliness: N/A Price Point: 4.5 Overall Experience: 4.6

    Mmmmmm so amazingly delicious!! I've been wanting to try this food truck for such a long time and I finally decided to drive over the bridge to Portland to taste this yummy goodness. I'm so happy I did because this surpassed my expectations. Literally the best Persian kebab place in Oregon. I've been to many Persian restaurants before in Oregon and none were as good this place! Staff/owner is super kind and goes out of his way to make sure you receive the best quality food. The portion are large and the food is so delicious and filling. This is the best, authentic Persian food place you can find here. Great value for money. The chicken joojeh kebab was so juicy and fresh and the lamb koubideh was also super tasty and well seasoned. The texture was a tiny bit hard and chewy but I'm not sure if it was because we ate our food 15 mins after we got it because we had to drive somewhere to park. Overall, an amazing experience. I will definitely be coming back and bringing my family here too.

    I recommend this place! I really enjoyed the food ! Keep up the great job guys . Good bless

    Persian is one of my favorite cuisines. For years, it sort of got lost with Mediterranean in Portland, but now there's at least two specialty carts. Service took longer than at other carts, the guy was nice though. I opted for a simple Koobideh over rice, it came with rice, tomatoes, and a sauce. There's options on the menu that are good value and others with high price points. As some know, Persian rice is in itself a delicacy and when made properly it's the focus of the dish, rather than a side. Here, it was just okay. I'd go back to sample more of the menu. For now, it's A-Ok, which equates to a 3-Star.

    The BEST food truck and owner ever. Wish I lived closer still, but I have been coming here for years and worked in restaurants serving the same entree as seen in the picture. But, this is the best I've ever had and think it's a secret gem(;

I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

The staff is always friendly, the service is prompt, and orders come out quickly and are plated so beautifully they *must* be photographed every time. I'm a creature of habit so I could order flautas here forever, but I promised myself I would try the chile relleno next time we go. Wish me luck! We love the casual vibe. It's comfy, there's usually a place to sit, but it can get packed when the weather is good. The space is welcoming and offers opportunities to chat with others if you want. It's a great space that fosters community.

Teen wanted boba, and we decided to order Mediterranean from this place which also strangely sells boba. Yes, I rewarded the chore avoidance. Sue me. I worked four tens, all week my mental health clients were stressed and distressed, and I was honestly a lump. We both ordered a Moroccan stewed chicken that comes with saffron rice, salad, and three spicy sauces - one yogurt and maybe sumac? , one sriracha, and one yogurt mixed with sriracha maybe? We liked the rice, chicken, salad, and the yogurt sauce. Just ok though. Not omg good. I wish the two other sauces had been in separate containers and not on the rice. My mint and honey tea was fine. Kid's boba was not full. Not because it spilled either, because it was sealed with the boba seal lid thingy. For $6 that was disappointing. The hummus and dolmades plate came with one sad not good pita, ONE, and I think our Uber eats driver flung it out the window like kids used to deliver newspapers from their bikes because yogurt sauce was freaking everywhere. The hummus was not great. Teen ( the dolmades fan) said the grape leaves were good. Probably not a repeat in store. One and done.
