Found this cart next to Bing Mi, so got a chicken shawarma plate for the kid while we waited to get food from bing mi. Nice gentleman took the order and food was prepared fresh on a pan and ended up being delicious! Great flavors on the chicken and garlic sauce and hummus. I had to steal few bites from the kid since the crepe from bing mi did not do anything for me. This was so much fresher and tastier! I am a lover of shawarma anywhere, but tried to be adventurous with a chinese crepe on my trip. Chicken shawarma would have been a much better meal in this group of food carts. Should have known when some construction folks sitting at the table were waiting for food from here. Hot fresh flavorful foods that fills you up, seems the local guys know what to eat for lunch. Kid had his fill and we took leftovers to hotel. He ate the leftovers later in the day and still enjoyed it, so he's a fan! read more

Split the three meats platter with my husband and it was more than enough food for an extremely reasonable price. Everything tasted delicious but for me, it was a bit salty. read more

The food was good. I got the sampler mezza with beef kebabs. All the food was done well and they gave a healthy portion of tzatziki on the side which was very good. The only complaint I have is that it's a sampler plate and with three different spreads to sample, I received only one small pita on the side. I did ask for another pita at the cart after receiving the order and was accommodated but seems like this should be a given considering you're sampling dips. Still very good quality dips and kebobs. read more

Food is excellent! I got the lamb shwarma, and it was fantastic. Definitely support this business. Very happy this is in the neighborhood.

GREAT food at affordable rates and good sized portions! But please get rid of the single use plastic!!

The lamb Schwab a plate is my go-to! The lamb is tender and juicy with hints of lemon and rosemary, served over a bed of jasmine rice with salad on the side, it is a very satisfying meal. Order the rosemary bread and one or two of the sweet date cookies and your set for two meals! Located in the Colony food truck pod in the heart of St. John's, the aroma of grilled meat is so intoxicating. In addition to lamb, they have tender chicken and gyro meat, both of which I also love. All can be made into a gyro or the plate dinner. They also have falafels if that's your thing. Plenty of tables in both sun and shade to enjoy your meal there. Friendly service and food is made fresh. read more

I had the lamb shawarma to go, it was delicious and the sauces were spicy! The guy also gave us free baklava slices, thank you!

Got the falafel wrap, it was amazing. Probably the best thing I've had in the chill n fill area. A ton of flavor and a great portion size for price read more

This food truck is located in the small area of other food trucks like Bing Mi, etc. We tried the falafel mezze which was a generous amount of food for $13 including tax. The order comes with falafel, a slightly spicy dipping sauce, pita, hummus, baba ganoush, and tzatziki. The falafel is crispy and has just the right amount of moisture, and pairs well with the slightly spicy dipping sauce. The tzatziki is refreshing and the baba ganoush is good. The hummus is a bit pasty and the pita bread is not too soft, so those were some misses. Even though this is one of the less busy food trucks in the area, it still takes 10-15 minutes for the order to complete. read more

I tried the lamb Shawarma Wrap ($14) and it was a big boy. Full of fresh parsley, tomato and juicy lamb flavor wrapped in a warm toasted tortilla. Comes with a side of tuum (garlic cream) and parsley sauce. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the lamb wasn't as tender of a cut as I usually have with shawarma, more like steak bits this time, but still juicy. Also, their address is incorrect on Yelp, use google maps. read more

Abbas - Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($14) why hello there big boy - Middle Eastern Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This review is for a deliver order: Being middle eastern myself, I look for cooking from regions where my family isn't from. I like to see how different areas make similar things. Abbas was good. The non meat items we had were excellent. We had falafel, tzatziki, hummus, baba ganoush, and awesome bread. Both their flat bread and rosemary bread were awesome. The meats we tried were ok. We had 3 kinds and their chicken was the best. The others were just ok. They were greatly enhanced by their yogurt and their mint sauces. Go check them out. The food is pretty solid. read more

Deee-licious! I had the falafel mezze platter and the dolmas, they were both so good I ate until I was stuffed. The tzatziki was particularly excellent. read more

Staff is very nice & diverse. Ambiance is across the gamut of millennials, early 20-something's' & multigenerational residents. BONUS-has pool table & darts. A lot of customers were chillin' outside & looks like this is a regular occurrence. read more

Great beef mezze and attentive service. Felt like everything was made from scratch. My favorite was the Lentil soup and rosemary bread, which I highly recommend. read more

I love this cart. Oh well, haters gonna h8. I'll drive across the city for one of their plates, they're so good! They consistently hook it up with the large portions, plus lots of sides. I typically order the Mixed Meat Plate. Come with chicken kebab, which is my fave. Get a baklava, too. Very tasty. A solid choice if you have a big appetite, like me lol read more

So this cart has moved over to Alberta, I believe, which is what I'm writing a review for. The chicken schwarma wrap was good -- I enjoyed the pickles inside (I hadn't had that before). But it wasn't great, and the prices seemed a bit high. read more

I love middle eastern and Mediterranean food. This is a diamond in the rough. Now located on 15th and Alberta this family run Syrian food cart hits the spot when you want really fresh falafel, homemade baklava and amazing baba ganoush. Things may be a little different than you are used to if you frequent Nicholas' or Hoda. Humus is a bit thinner, tabouleh is a bit coarser, and dolma are quiet delicate. My suggestion for improvement would to not have the garlic sauce out on top of the plates but get it on the side. Also, the rosemary bread is great. Beautiful and my kids love it but I don't think it has any rosemary in it. It's another spice but not sure what. There was an amazing dessert that he snuck in my bag. It was like a handpie filled with coconut and walnuts and soaked in syrup. This truly was a wonderful surprise. I'll be ordering that again. My kids loved the tzatziki, almost more of a cucumber yogurt salad. read more

This is my second time eating at Abbas. I was very Disappointed. I ordered a lamb gyro. I very specifically asked for no lettuce on my gyro. I even told them why. I knew I would not be eating it Right away and have to warm it up when I got home. I assumed my very clear and specific Instructions Were followed. Well they were not followed. My food was cold when I got home so I warmed it up. I took a bite and spit it out Because all I could taste was warm watery mushy lettuce. I had to throw the entire sandwich out. I don't know if You have ever had Warm, mushy, watery Lettuce But it's disgusting! I know I could not have been more clear in my request and my instructions I tried to call but could not get through. I am now out the $14 With nothing in my tummy. Really bad end to my Monday. I do not think I'll be returning to Abbas. read more

This is absolutely the worst Middle Eastern food i've ever had- the naan was super leathery and felt like I was eating a deconstructed leather purse. The lamb was super chewy and not well seasoned, the rice was also dry. The humus had no flavor and the toum was the most concerning clumpy, jiggly texture i've ever seen- think of a gelatinous cottage cheese. it was also unremarkably not garlicky, which is why i get why they don't charge for it now. the zhoug i got was rancid and couldn't even be eaten. I didn't finish any of what i ordered and tossed all of it after eating the rice i could salvage- would NOT recommend. Tons of better options at the same (or better) price. read more

First time here and it blew away any expectations. The chicken in both our plate and schwarma was so tender and seasoned perfectly. Super fresh produce in the plate and in our side of tzatziki. The falafel and soft bread were so delicious. I may have over-stuffed myself on that soft bread, but totally worth it. I couldn't stop. The hot sauce was an excellent addition to spice things up in all the dishes now and then. The cookies were a unique treat that I enjoyed a lot -- just sweet enough and a light finish to a great meal. Highly recommend this cart. We'll be keeping it in mind for future takeout nights! read more

Fantastic! Everything is made to order. The hummus, garlic sauce, and tzatziki are one of the best I've ever had.

I ordered the falafel mezza plate, and the falafel was incredibly fresh and crisp. The babaganoush and hummus were also fresh. I got a side of tabbouleh that I loved, and I will be coming back for more. This may be my favorite place for falafel and tabbouleh in all of Portland. read more

I just ordered a falafel gyro and it was soooooooo good maybe one of the best I've ever had. Great pita and tzatziki. Yummmmmmm

New and delicious food truck with family-style servings, right off 82nd. Great portion sizes and all of our food was perfectly cooked. They're also on Door Dash and are an excellent pick for movie night comfort food, especially the shawarma wrap. Salty, crispy and satisfying. read more

Had the chicken gyro for dinner tonight and my stomach has been churning ever since. It tasted just fine but it's not sitting well with my stomach in the least bit. read more

Ordered on Postmates and got the wrong order.. Received two wraps instead of the gyros we ordered. They were gross.. room temperature, filled with a mushy Greek salad and swimming in what seemed to be an attempt at ranch/tzatziki.. Not sure which. I'll be surprised if we don't get sick. Also charged for a side of garlic sauce which they didn't even bother to include in the bag. read more

We had a larger gathering and ordered several different dishes. So we were able to try many things. It was all very good - fresh and flavorful. Will definitely return again read more

Hoped this place would be good. Unfortunately, not good at all. I ordered the ground beef kabob plate. The ground beef was low-quality and very chewy. It was over cooked and undercooked at the same time. The rice was greasy. Spent 19 bucks on a meal that I tossed out. read more

The food was pretty good. The gyro was better than a store bought, and the lamb shawarma was decent. There was a bit of gristle which I know is more of my personal issue. The fries were extremely underdone and had to be baked for about 10 minutes to crisp up. Nice people and will try again read more

Delicious and so fresh. Each selection was well prepared. We enjoyed a number of chicken dishes and the portions were large enough to share around the family table. Order ahead and pick up! read more

This place was DELICIOUS! We went to their food cart off NW 23rd and ordered the schwarma platter & falafel platter. The titzicki, garlic sauce, and mint sauce were top notch! Super nice staff, and incredible food. We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm so happy this cart is in my neighborhood. It's not quite what I'm used to when it comes to Middle Eastern standard fair. The spices are a little different and the yogurt in the tzatziki is a little opaque and thin. But don't let that stop you! It's so freaking delicious! And the value is amazing, I got the mixed grill and it's enough to easily feed two people, maybe three. Quality is top notch. read more

super delicious food and kind people too. the chicken schwarma plate is really yummy and lemony. the cookies are great too! love this spot!

Wonderful, high quality, homemade food. Everything they do is excellent and super delicious!

The best food I've ever had Thank you abbas It was a very good food and really delicious
