Superb beef wrap - excellent service and really flavorful kabab wrap - huge portion size!

Came to grab some lunch on a rainy day and thought the food was quite good. I loved the spices in the chicken kebab I got and appreciated the different sauce options. The sumac in the salad inside the wrap was perfect, and the wrap itself was nice and fluffy. Will definitely return sometime! read more

Persian Kabab - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Dude... what the hell kinda sorcery is this? Incredible food from a strange, nice, but quiet man in a truck... He feeds you like you are his grandchild, sooo much food for what you pay for, takes his time, really sweet. Definitely worth it . Menu is simple and customizable sadly , sometimes google will say he's open when he's not, especially when it's raining. But he's so good to customers when he's open. read more

A kabob cart that stands out from the many generic ones in town. Persian style kebab wraps/plates. Prices are very reasonable for the size you get. The wraps are like a foot long. The ground chicken kabob has a good spice mix to add flavor. The skewers are pretty good sized. A double skewer will get you fed. I also tried the lamb cube kabobs. It was good but, not the best protein option. The cubes were large and weren't separated well which made me almost choke while eating it since the lamb was on the chewier side. Food is made to order, expect it to take 10 to 15 min to get read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

Just became aware of this food cart which is located close to PSU in SW Portland. The menu, complete with pictures and descriptions is clearly listed on the wall outside. prices are VERY reasonable and the service is friendly and very welcoming. We tried the Chicken Sultani on Rice and the Joojeh Kabab on Salad. The food was made to order, so a bit of wait time was required... the food is well worth the wait, however. The Koubideh Kabab (one of the skewers on the Chicken Sultani) was delicious and full of flavor. The Chicken Kabob pieces (other skewer of the Chicken Sultani) were tender and tasted great with the hint of Saffron flavor. The basmati rice was done to perfection and not sticky at all. Both orders were served with a small side of tomato/cucumber salad and a side of yogurt /cucumber sauce with a hint of dried mint. Yum! Overall I recommend Persian Kabob based on this experience... We'll definitely have to come back and try the rest of his menu items. read more

Excellent Persian food, it's rare to find any Persian place actually run by Persians, most imitate it and give low quality food. Persian Kebab is 100% authentic and very delicious. Their staff is also very courteous. I planned to order an extra kebab for my Jujeh Kebab and the owner showed me the kebab and advised me that he thought it might be too much food, which I thought was very nice of him to consider my health. Who does that nowadays? Most people just care about money. Prices are also very good considering the amount you get. I would say they are the best Persian food you will get in the local area. My favorite is always Koobideh and Jujeh kebab with bbq tomatoes and onions. It's heavenly. Me and my wife come here as our regular Persian food restaurant. read more

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. read more

Since moving here from CA, it's been SO hard finding Persian food. Another reviewer mentioned that restaurants out here tend to combine it with Mediterranean, and I agree with that statement. They are totally different. We are happy we found this cart because the food is authentic, delicious, consistent, and reasonably priced. The owner is kind and we will happily drive into the city and support his business for as long as we live here. read more

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(; read more

Went there today for lunch and ordered the chicken kabab with a side of garlic sauce. I expected the chicken kabab would be chunks of chicken like I see in the pictures but instead it was ground chicken and they left out the garlic sauce. The food was good, it was just not what I had ordered or expected. read more

Authentic Persian food. Friendly accommodating hard working owner. The Persian rice is fresh and prepared correctly. Ground beef kebab koobideh is the way to go. Big portions. Another good local food cart surviving. read more

One of the best places to go for chicken kebab and lamb kebabs.Very high quality food. I highly recommend this business and service.

Ordered catering for a birthday party of 35 people. The food was delicious, kept warm/cool and affordable. Will support this business again.

Personally, this was the best kabab I've ever had! And they're really nice folks too.

As the number of food carts dwindle as parking spaces gets bought out for another development frenzy, the Persian Kabab caught my eyes. The gyro middle eastern favorites are a common sight, but ones specializing in Persian kabab? Not many. Owner was friendly and easy to ask questions, he even let me try a sample of lamb stew worth walnuts special - which sealed the deal. I got one for $9 and it came with salad as well as a small portion of dessert yogurt to try. Very generous! Easy access as one of multitude of carts near PSU and fast service as it took maybe a minute after placing my order. It takes me 15 minutes to come over, but worth the trek as most central carts had to relocate and not many unique carts remain. read more

This is the best Persian koobideh I ever had. Yes, I am from California, we have a good amount of good Persian restaurants over there, and I have been to everywhere from fancy to hole in the wall style restaurants. But this place stands out to be the best to me. And every time I come to Portland for work I always have to eat here, at least twice a week. The owner is very nice, he did mention that he always takes time on making his food, that makes sure the food always taste good. If you don't want to wait just give him a call ahead and come pick it up. Will miss this place a lot when I am back to California. read more

I have ordered the combo chicken and kafta kabobs with rice, and it is wonderful! Huge portion, very fresh ingredients, good seasoning, not too oily or salty. Each order comes with a small side of yogurt and tomato/cucumber salad. Only $12 and it's good for two meals because there's so much meat and rice! I've ordered this twice, and it's consistently awesome. I'm becoming a regular here now :) read more
