“Been trying to eat here for 5 years every time I have been in Portland visiting friends (we always end up somewhere else). FINALLY came with the intention to eat here and the food is fantastic. So glad it lived up to expectations I built up in my head. I gotta say, if Iraqi food is like this, it's my new favorite food.“
“Quick and easy for take out. Best was the chicken and beef shawarma, then chicken kebab, and least favorite was the kafta which is usually our favorite. I can see how we have grown to like it a particular way and this may be someone else’s tastes, as it was not bad in any way - still tender and properly made; just the flavor profile wasn’t to my liking.Garlic sauce is pretty runny and consistency off but still a decent flavor. Tahini standard, not a fan of the spicy mayo type sauce.Rice was solid, flavorful. Iraqi bread is quite good as well.Overall still a 5 still for this area, esp. if they work on the garlic sauce.Recommend and will be back.“
“When you order food from a restaurant you're putting your trust in the owner and the staff. With that being said I try to be picky about where I will eat. The owner here is very nice, very organized and very clean. The quality of the food is excellent and the taste of the food is also excellent. I deliver food during the day so I know every restaurant in town. I highly recommend that everyone try the food from this place. Also I almost forgot to add my wife likes baklava and always orders that everywhere that we go. She told me that the baklava from here is the best that she has ever had.“
“So disappointed... That I didn't know about this place sooner!! Last night my husband told me he had NEVER eaten a gyro. I knew I had to correct this immediately. So, I started looking for gyros near me. Now, since he's never tried one, I didn't want him to have a bad first experience that would put him off of them forever since I enjoy them so much. I chose this establishment based on very high google reviews (5 stars) and because it's so close to where we live (5 mins). This place has gone beyond expectations! The food is amazing! Perfect blend of delicious spices and ingredients. HUGE amount of food. It was so delicious that I scarfed it down so fast I got sauce up my nose. I'm so happy that we found this little gem. We will be eating here regularly from now on. Thank you, Gyro Grill Kabob!!! ❣️“
“My boyfriend and I visited from FL and decided to eat here with my mom and her boyfriend. The food was AMAZING! We scarfed everything down very quickly and was so, so yummy! Along with the great food, came awesome customer service! BUT after a long day of flights and only having 2 hours of sleep, I accidentally left my purse under the table! Thankfully though, Noah found my purse after we had left and we came to get it the next day. I am so grateful that they found it, amazing luck we had. So I would definitely recommend eating here for a tasty lunch or dinner, they will take great care of you ��� Thank you!!!!“
“What a gem. DarSalam turned a bad night into a great one! Was out with a group of friends for a birthday and when we arrived at the restaurant where we had a reservation…it was closed. No warning. So we walked to DarSalam and they were so nice and we waited for a table for about 15 minutes. Great middle eastern style menu. The mezzanine platter is so good. One of the best falafel in Portland. The tabouli is to die for. So fresh. The chicken kebob plate was delicious with rice and a side of chickpea stew. Service was friendly and helpful. What a great place. We will definitely be back. DarSalam helped make a night ruined by another restaurant down the street into a great night! Thank you!“
“I’ve been here before and it’s been great. Tonight was a different story and I get that things don’t always go as planned but I just have some advice:I ordered a couple chicken slider meals and added a Mac n cheese on the side. Easy enough. 15 min go by and my order still hasn’t come out. I ask about it and they say they ran out of Mac n cheese but that it will be right out. I end up waiting more than 30min before getting my order. My advice is- let the customer know you’re out of something as soon as you realize. I wouldn’t have wasted 30min of my life for a small side of Mac n cheese if I knew you were out, which you could’ve informed me in the first 5min of my wait. The milkshake was replaced as the one they gave me after ordering had melted by the time I left, so thanks for doing that at least.“
“The culinary experience and the expertise of the chef are truly remarkable. As a professional private chef, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to everyone. My selection, the number five, surpassed my expectations and stands out as one of the most exceptional dishes I have enjoyed in quite some time.“
“I have lived in Morocco and been traveling there since the 1970s. my lunch yesterday at Kasbah Moroccan Cafe was undoubtedly the best Moroccan food I have eaten in the US. The food was delicious and authentic. Portions were generous. While we had to eat outside due to Covid, we could see that the inside of the cafe was attractively done in Moroccan style. The owner was very friendly. My son-in-law is Moroccan and he loved the food as well. I unreservedly recommend this place and will make a point of eating there next time I visit Portland.“
