    Lamb Wrap
    Laura C.

    We hit up the Shawarma Spot food truck at The Heist food truck pod. We ordered the lamb wrap. Size was large. Could use some more lettuce and tomato with the lamb. The sauce ratio was

    We were hungry and a lot of places close at 10 PM , we definetly didnt want to eat fast food so we looked to see what else was open and saw that this place was still open late. so we decided to drive over as we were staying at the Portland airport best western. I believe it was about a ten min drive from the hotel. We were able to find parking directly behind the food truck in the little lot. I imagine it gets much busier during the day time and even early evening. The two guys working the truck that night were friendly and asked what we wanted to order. We ordered a lamb gyro i believe it was a #1 it was only $11 plus a drink. When we got our order the gyro was nice size with lots of meat and toppings. It did not take very long for our order and there were several other parties waiting for food as well. We were both thrilled with our choice as the flavors were great and it was more than enough food without the fries. Will go back to try them out again. The ambiance is street food so depends on your personal preference i have no problem with that setting the food was great and i received good service.

    3 meat combo, a yummy good deal.

    The new happy hour (1-2 pm) special is one of better deals in the food cart scene. Portion was ample, the rice tasty and fluffy, while the hummus side smooth and creamy. The gyro was my favorite of the tri-meat sampler. Window guy was cool.

    update: food is AMAZING, as usual! can't wait to go back again, but i've gotta finish eating this first!!

    Chicken gyro

    Tasty stuffs! Really enjoyed their Chicken Gyro and Lamb Arabi, which was basically the Lamb Wrap with Fries. Those fries were soso worth it though. Fresh, hot, and crispy. Also got great seasonings on them. Both the gyro and arabi came with plenty of meat and sauce, maybe even a tad too saucy. Do ask for napkins! But they weren't salty or too heavy by any means. Extra credits for opening till late too; we need more of that in PDX.

    Wrong order

    I ordered the Tri-meat shawarma and they only put lamb in it. When I brought it back and showed them it only had lamb in it they said I only ordered lamb shawarma. I showed them the receipt and they refused to remake it after waiting 40 minutes. Never coming back here

    Great food truck stand. Pleasant staff. For the price, i was hoping to get a decent serving. The chicken shawarma was very tasty, not salty at all, which i like; however, i thought their portion was very small... for the meat and rice, it was $14 and it was not a lot of meat and rice, compared to most places i've tried... and believe, we eat Mediterranean food pretty often. I also mentioned no sauce, whatsoever, just the garlic sauce, however i still got these 2 sauces on d side, which combines, seemed more than the meat/rice itself. Hopefully in the future they can be more generous on their portions. Otherwise, i love it!

    Lamb over Fries

    Food is absolutely amazing no matter what time you go! It shows how much they care about good quality food when you can go at either 2pm or 2am and get the same good food

    Falafel Gyro

    Came here on a Sunday evening - it was pretty busy. Had to wait 20 min. for my order which I didn't mind as I knew the food would be fresh & made to order. Aidan was very pleasant despite being so busy. Food was delicious and had a decent size portion....just a tad heavy on the sauce.

    The tasting menu at Mediterranean Exploration company was one of my favorite dining experiences in…read morePortland I've ever had. The atmosphere was lively and I loved the industrial, modern decor. I went on a busy Friday night and was sat right at my reservation time. Our server was personable and friendly. They had a small mocktail selection with creative options. I went with the "worth a chai", which was spicy, sweet, and tangy. The tasting menu was $75 each for two people and we got a total of 9 dishes and left full and with leftovers. Not one dish wasn't delicious and I enjoyed how each dish had an unexpected flavor or textural element to keep things interesting. All the ingredients felt fresh and the dishes were bright in color and taste. Despite the larger quantity of food, the meal overall felt well- balanced, healthy, and not too heavy or decadent. I keep thinking about the hamachi crudo that came with this amazing smoky eggplant that complemented the vinaigrette on the fish perfectly. The radicchio salad was addictingly good with the fruity burst of sweetness from the cherries. The hummus is insanely rich and pairs well with the thick, fluffy pita. I could keep going on about each dish, but these were my absolute standouts. I especially appreciated the timing of the dishes. New dishes came out right as we were finishing the last. I will be coming back here to try more of the menu.

It ended up being a great spot. The ambiance is great and the bartender was pleasant. They have a seasonal menu, which assures me that we're going to get the freshest produce possible. We started with the Labneh & Confit Butternut Squash. It was fine, but not my favorite dish of the night. The labneh was more like Greek yogurt than cheese, which isn't a bad thing, but I would have liked a little more saltiness. The Harissa Spice Shrimp, on the other hand, was fantastic. Definitely the standout item we actually ordered. The Baked Eggplant was good too, although it didn't quite wow me. I think there was some mix up, as we were first served the Roasted Eggplant Dip. We flagged the server down to say it wasn't what we ordered, but they let us keep it. Boy were we happy about this! It was the best dish of the night (and a must reorder). The pita to go with the Labneh and the Dip was excellent too. Piping hot and just right.

Nicholas Restaurant has a really cute, welcoming vibe, with outdoor tables and plenty of seating inside. They have a great selection of drinks, and I decided to try the house Arnold Palmer--made with fresh lemonade and cinnamon mint iced tea. It was unique and really refreshing. We started with a few appetizers for the table: hummus, tzatziki, and falafel balls. Everything came out quickly and was a hit. The hummus tasted incredibly fresh, the tzatziki had a nice tangy kick, and the falafel balls were perfectly crispy and flavorful. For my main, I ordered the chicken breast kabob plate, which came with two skewers, rice, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. The chicken was incredibly tender and cooked just right. Overall, a great meal with fresh, flavorful food and a relaxed atmosphere. I can definitely see why my family keeps coming back--this spot is well worth a visit.

Tucked into the corner of SW 12th and Alder in the West End, the space is warm and comfortable with wood accents, soft leather banquettes, and just the right amount of energy. The Dolly Focaccia with roasted garlic and olive oil, the Roasted Carrot & Farro Salad and the Grilled Heirloom Carrots are all simple and delicious. On the pasta side, the Tagliatelle al Burro is perfect, and the Black Kale Pesto Mafaldine with roasted mushroom and the Braised Short Rib Arancini with pecorino aioli and honey are equally good choices if you're after something a little more complex. The folks who work here are knowledgeable and attentive, never intrusive. Even with the drive in now, it's worth it every time. Highly recommend, whether it's a special occasion or just a reason to head back downtown.

    This was my only other scheduled meal…read more I wanted to treat my friends to a meal on our friend's wedding day. Figured it would be the best way to kick off our day. Luckily, I was able to secure a reservation. The walk over was under 10 minutes for both of us. It gave me just the perfect amount of time to kill a j. I was ready to drink all the things. Sure enough, my hydration station had 3 options. Limoncello spritz for the fun category, water for hydration and Americano soda for the caffeine. The spritz was perfection. We started off with an order of the arancini. As we were unsure if we would like it, we got one then got another one as soon as we got our first bite. That was followed by the donuts. We were all in agreement that some type of dipping sauce would be a nice touch. My suggestion is dulce de leche. We then went to town on the broccoli &! Italian sausage, hash and tagliatelle. When I tell you - I was in food heaven. That tagliatelle was IT. My friends were kind enough to let me finish the rest. I gave way to the other two. Despite being ridiculous full, we still managed to make room for dessert. We got the cookie and lemon pound cake. Bro that pound cake can get it. The mascarpone whip on top made me tingle on the inside after I got a taste. My gawd I wanted to eat the whole thing. The biggest compliment came at the end of the night when my friend told me I chose the perfect spot and picked all the right dishes. Big thanks to Mike for taking such great care of us. He had the best response to my answer when he asked if we had allergy restrictions. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town.
