Lamb Saj
Alex W.

Taste was excellent. Meat was very good, better than other similar carts around town. However the wrap definitely seemed smaller than other wraps around town unfortunately and I was still a bit hungry after eating it

Beef Shawarma Bites with Fries & Falafel Plate
Molly L.

The dishes are delicious and well-portioned for the price. Nothing is a miss! Their Falafels have a nice outer crisp and pair well with the creamy hummus and fragrant naan. My partner's Beef Over Fries is pretty solid too. We have an enjoyable meal and go home with a lot of leftovers.

Okay, love, love, LOVEEE this food truck! The owner is fantastic with his customers! So kind and will definitely make you want to come back. We both ordered chicken shawarma plates and all of it was so good. Plus enough for multiple meals. Grabbed a spot to eat and the owner came over with falafel which was the best I've ever had. Not to mention, he threw in a free chicken wrap for us. Seriously? Ya don't get that kind of service and friendliness often anymore. Shawarma House is the truck ya want!!

Lamb Over Fries
Jamil R.

We visited over the weekend based on some reviews we saw online. Shawarma house has a massive selection of entrees, but we went with the lamb over fries and were not dissapointed at all. We did have friends that seemed not to like lamb over rice so I would keep that in mind if you decide to visit Service is good as you would expect for a food truck nothing bad about it at all Plenty of seating around and there are heaters if it's cold that day which we appreciated. There's a ton of additional options if shawarma isn't for you.

Yelp says this place is permanently closed, but it's not! This amazing food truck is in an area with a bunch of other food trucks so lots of options to choose from but shawarma house is definitely the truck to try. Food came out quick and was fresh and tasty! We got the lamb over fries and it was the best call we made. My friends got the chicken and lamb saj which they said was flavorful as well! Portion size is pretty good. The lamb with the different sauces on top of the fries hit the spot. Would definitely recommend stopping here! They had covered seating with heat lamps as well.

Lamb gyro with feta and spicy sauce
Max M.

Grabbed a gyro on my lunch break. The owners were friendly and accommodating, my order came out quick, the gyro was delicious and fresh and the size of my head (And I have a big head). I made an absolute mess of myself trying to eat it but it was well worth it I'll definitely be coming by again.

Best baklava of all the food carts here, and the competition is fierce for that title. Very nice servers too :)

12" Lamb Wrap.
Flory W.

This is our first here, we've been meaning to stop by, when we passed by a few months ago. We were heading to Black Bear restaurant, when we pulled in the parking lot, I spotted CORE, and remembered: I wanted to try this new pod! It's Sunday, there weren't many opened, but the first one we spotted I already knew I wanted to eat at Shawarma. I picked Lamb Wrap, hubby picked Giant Gyros. I went back in the car, it's much warmer and safer. It didn't take long, when hubby came back with our food. We picnicked in the car. I was shocked, how long it was! (It could have been cut in half like in the photo). By the time, I ate half, it started to drip, and I caught it just in the nick of time, so it didn't go on my nice, church clothes! It was so good, though! The Gyros was very generous with meat, & delicious. He ate every bite! These two foods, will always be our favorites!

1. Lamb Gyro
Aaron N.

YUMMY!!! This place has one, if not THE BEST lamb gyro in Portland. For reference, I'm comparing this to the Moonlight Mediterranean Food Cart just a few minutes away which also has reaaaally good lamb gyro. You MUST try the lamb gyro here. I never used to eat lamb but I took a leap of faith to try both this place and Moonlight Mediterranean and they have both converted me to being believers LOL.

Chicken Over Fries
Ashley R.

so yummy and kind owners!!! they give a very big portion and the food was fresh and flavorful :) they also gave me a free falafel ;-; it's in a nice food cart courtyard and fun to eat outside in the patio!! highly recommend! thank you for the yummy food ^-^

I think sometimes restaurants have a different level of quality or care for to go orders and I want to call that out. However, the food is quite expensive, and VERY disappointing. Things I ordered Pita bread - was extremely dry, leathery, un-chewable. Must have been stale. Dip mezza - hummus not smooth, no flavor, Lebneh was ok, baba ghanoush almost tasted of artificial smoke flavoring. Shatta - absolutely not shatta. It was oil with chopped herbs that has definitely gone bad. Again absolutely no flavor. Paid $5 for a tiny to go condiment cup of it! What a rip off. Falafel - meh. Lamp gyro - fiance thought it was ok, but also, very bland. There are so many good middle Eastern restaurants I will definitely never order from this restaurant again. It's really sad when you can tell that an establishment simply does not care about the quality or the culinary technique that goes into their food. Especially when they charge so much!

I came in with friends who are vegan and gluten-free, and before we even had to ask, the staff marked up our menus with everything they could eat. Not just a couple sad options either. A ton of them. This kind of consideration is something I've noticed across Portland, and it's a big part of why I love visiting. Food-wise, we had some real standouts. The roasted carrots were deeply flavorful, the curried black lentil salad had that perfect balance of hearty and bright, and the tahini ice cream was one of those desserts you keep thinking about after the trip ends. Also, do not skip the beer with a slushy float. It sounds chaotic, but somehow it works. Fun, refreshing, a little unexpected. Come hungry, especially if you're dining with mixed dietary needs. Everyone will leave happy

The vibe is warm and lively without being overwhelming, and the staff were genuinely helpful and welcoming. Every plate we tried delivered. The pita alone deserves a shoutout, fresh, warm, and dangerously easy to keep eating. Standout dishes: Hummus & Spicy Lamb Merguez Gravlax Lamb Carnitas Street parking wasn't too bad, which is always a win in SE. Honestly, I'd come back for the atmosphere as much as the food. Couldn't recommend it more. Go. No need to thank me later.

I believe, they also shopped their little store for some take home treats! We will be having a food-to go, again, so we can compare the difference in how they fixed lamb. During Easter, that's what I was craving, and I didn't get that. UPDATE #2: Because it's Easter, I craved for lamb shanks. Instead of traveling to Vancouver or SW PDX, for two of our favorite restaurants, that have also lamb, I DECIDED to have to-go from Ya Hala, another of our favorite restaurant, because they're only 7 mins. from home. After searching for their menu, I ordered: Spring Lamb Pomegranate-glazed leg of lamb served with spinach-pomegranate sauce, basmati rice, and fresh peas -- $28. (See photo, why I am deducting a star). THIS is not worth $28, and it is something you'd find at a Food Cart for $14. It was also tough! I was so disappointed, and I'm not sure I'll be going back!

Reviewing the menu, there were lots of yummy things to choose from but ultimately we both could not resist the Lamb shank. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of it. It was so tender and delicious. It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long. It was quiet, comfortable, music was great; songs we all know but with native instruments and flare. We had house red wine - not a big selection of alcohol, which is fine the food is and should be the star. Our sever (Sorry my old lady brain forgot his name) but the good looking bald guy(LOL) was nice and personable. It was such a great low key dining experience that just made the day even better.
