Tough pita, lamb was clearly hours if not days old. Light on veggies.

Very delicious food but the guy who serves there doesn't seem to help much and ruins the orders. The girl works a lot and solves everything.

The food was ok! I waited 30 min for my Chicken Shawarma! After 10min the guy was messing up a couple of orders i informed him that i was still missing my order! New people order the same dish! The people after me got the food first! After 25 min he was handing out chicken shawarma to other guys i said i‘m waiting still! He yelled at me that it‘s in the process! Finally i got my food and informed him that i also bought a coke! He took that can of coke and smashed it one the cart like a complete douchebag! Worst foodcart i have been so far!!!

The Hubs & I shared their kebab plate, which was plenty since we didn't want to stuff ourselves. We were the only customers waiting and our food was ready in 10 minutes. The basmati rice was plentiful and perfectly cooked, and their hummus was silky smooth with a nice hint of lemon. Three minor disappointments were:- the photo of the plate showed it came with some olives in the little chopped tomato & lettuce side salad, but when we received ours it had a few sliced dill pickle chips instead- the kebabs, while good, tasted like plain ground beef seasoned with a bit of salt & pepper and not the usual spices we would expect on a kebab, so it just tasted like a regular hamburger. Tender & tasty, yes, but not what we hoped for. - they didn't have any plastic knives. I'm not sure if they were just out, or if they only stock forks, but we really could have used a knife to cut the kebab meat. It was just ground beef, but it was not easy to break up into bite-sized pieces with the cheap little plastic forks they have. We ended up having one of us hold down the kebab with one fork while the other one used their fork to pull apart a piece.

Best chicken shawarma I have ever eaten. Moist marinated chicken with slightly spicy sauce, pickles, lettuce, etc. Wrapped in a crispy and chewy flatbread. Perfect!

Best chicken shawarma I've ever had. It was gigantic. Chicken was tender and flavorful, the bread was nicely grilled. We'll be back to try other things on the menu.

So good. Had the beef plate with falafel and it was amazing.

Ordered the beef plate. Enjoyed it very much. Very tasty and large portions. We will definitely return the next time we visit Portland

Amazing food and five star service. My girlfriend spilled her beer on the counter and the boys were super chill about it. Then i bit into my beef shawarma and it was the best damn food I have tasted in a minute. Thank you gentlemen, and if you find yourselves in Santa Cruz California I will give you a free meal from our food truck

We came here while visiting Hawthorne Asylum and this place was incredible!!! Absolutely loved the food.The menu was extensive and they had an amazing selection. One of my favorite recommendations was that they had lamb gyros without any beef mixed in. Everything was absolutely incredible. The portions were huge so TBH, I would recommend getting one to share with someone else so you can try multiple things.IG: @QueenOfAdventureNYC

A massive plate to share and only one pita? For $16? The Arab world would shutter at such a disgrace.
