The staff were really nice! It was quite cold out so they gave customers some complimentary hot chai while we waited. It did seem like a busy day for them as the order took long, but the staff were really nice and apologetic. This is located in the back of PSU, near the field. There is street parking around the corner - the parking lot is for PSU use. The food was average for me. The beef had a good char and the sauce added some great flavor. I did feel like the beef and plate itself ate slightly sweet for me. Maybe it was sumac? I liked the onion slices, but feel like the side of pickled vegetables added too much to the plate for me. read more

The fries by itself were mid and needed seasoning, but with the sauce is good. The chicken shawarma was delicious for the first couple bites but quickly became boring. Needed some other components to round it out. read more

Great price, decent sized Shawarmas, a little off ratio with the fries and protein though. I wished there were just a bit more fries and pickles. There was a lottttt of sauce, quite overpowering. However being located on/near the college campus, I feel it could still be a hit. Especially on late nights. It's the only food joint that I saw in the area. No seating strictly for them since it's a food truck but there are nearby areas you could sit. Parking nearby, not sure how strictly enforced it is though as it's again, on/near campus.. The service was a little slow in my opinion while they did not seem busy. Not sure that I'd return but it was worth the try! read more

This food truck is a walk away from my friends apartment and let me tell ya I came back twice in one day for that chicken shawarma wrap. My friend really wanted to try this specific wrap and when we realized the pic was from and different truck the lovely lad said he would make it just like the picture shown incredible service, tasty food, at a reasonable price read more

Snagged a beef shawarma combo on my way to my hotel and it was great. The food got a little messed up on the way, but that's on me! The veggies in the shawarma were super fresh and crisp, and the beef was very tender and flavorful. The fries were so good especially with their sauce. Perfectly crisp with great seasoning. The price is good too! I'd definitely be here all of the time if I lived in the area. read more

Came here during the week after reading reviews. There were several people waiting when we showed up. We ordered a beef shawarma and waited about 5-10 minutes. There were picnic tables nearby for us to sit and eat. The shawarma was well seasoned, not super salty or bland and very tasty. A good snack. While for $11 I would like to be full...this was just so tasty. The seesh sauce and pickles is what took it to the next level. I would return...maybe order a side next time, but wish there was more than just fries. Overall 4.5 read more

Sheesh is AMAZING. The students & faculty at PSU are lucky to have such a fantastic shawarma spot on their campus. The sauce that they serve with the chicken & fries is also next level. Once you eat here you will understand why it's called Sheesh because it will make you say "Sheesh, this is so damn good." read more

Coming from the middle east (Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Kuwait) 35 years ago and where SHAWARMA and FALAFEL are almost daily meals and had tried different places in the Portland area. Sheesh Shawarma is my # 1 choice as it brings back memories and that distinctive taste I experienced back home. Friendly and courteous service, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I recommend the FALAFEL Bites with TAHINI sauce (Amazing) read more

Sheesh Shawarma - Chiken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Little food card that's over here at South waterfront first time I've been to it and they pack it in pretty nice for the price you're paying although I think it's just a little bit high but you know I'm not a food truck owner or in the food business or restaurant business whatsoever. Other than that, the taste is really delicious and it's about 12 inches or a little longer for that Shawarma. And if you're interested in getting the sandwich, it's the same thing just in sandwich form. You can't go around with the food selection here the service is really nice and if you see the five star rating, it's a five star service and five star food. Good for quick meals and all the good situation. Great locations every time. I recommend checking out. read more

A bunch of chillers out here, got a few teas for free. Highly recommend! Sheesh shawarma read more

We had a humble gathering for my partner's birthday and asked for catering for the event. We love the food cart at PSU and enjoy the walk to eat or pick up there. We asked for enough food for about 15 people, beef & chicken, rice, hummus, falafels, and loads of their sauces of which we can never get enough of. All the food was obviously made with love and care. The falafels were handed to us immediately after cooking because who doesn't love a fresh, warm falafel! The rice was made by Faisal's father and is without a doubt the best rice we've ever had. Everything was made from the heart and we were even given so much food we were lucky enough to share more for the following day. Some of our guests have never experienced Jordanian food and it blew their minds at how tasty everything was. Now they know and they know where to go. Sheesh loves to make food for people, they enjoy the happiness that they bring to everyone with their fresh and layered flavors of cuisine. Our party was fantastic as a result; everyone wanted seconds and take home plates. It went well beyond our dreams and made for a very memorable event. read more

OK, let me start by saying I do not like falafel or so I thought, well that's not the case any longer. I usually don't like falafel because it's really dry and just blah, that's so not the case here it's moist and flavorful, let's say delicious, and let me tell you about the key. It is phenomenal. I want a huge container to take to Arizona with me..SOOOO GOOD! Tzatziki and sausages were all delicious. The chicken is a nice chicken breast. The beef was delicious. The service was fabulous next time in Portland. We will have to come back. It's worth the trip.. read more

The Beef Shawarma was very good, the wait was extremely long (25 minutes) for a cart that didn't look that busy. Maybe online orders are superseding, I couldn't say. One thing I can say is I won't be back to this cart on my lunch break. read more

This place is DELISH and everyone who works here is friendly and generous! Sheeeeesh!

Their food is incredible! Would definitely recommend. Their Shawarma's are out of this world!!

This is a brand new food cart at PSU near the library. We just wanted a quick snack at the food carts BUT when we saw the cart, the menu, food prices, and how nice the young owner is, we decided to give it a shot. After going back and forth between Humam T. and the owner, we decided on beef Shawarma per his recommendation. He was right. The sandwich was crazy crazy good. The seasoning/spices were tasty, the crunchiness of the pickle, tomatoes, and the French fries added a good touch. And then toasted on all sides. I will be driving from Gresham just to eat here and try his other offerings. Perfect spot too! Near the trees and grass. On a lovely day like this it couldn't be beat. Thank you! read more

Some of the best food I've had in the area in a long time! Wish I would've gotten a picture. Service was amazing, very friendly and polite. Good prices for a good amount of food. Absolutely delish! read more

I'm not going to repeat the many compliments of the other reviews; I think you probably get the point after reading a few of them. Consistently superb Shawarma sandwiches, with different complex flavors underneath the quality meats they use, and fast service make this a favorite spot in Portland. Not cheap (what is, anymore?), but at least it's worth it. I've overpaid for distinctly mediocre food many times in Portland, places charging a premium for what they believe is edgy ambiance. read more

happy to see them at the festival and glad I got a chance to try their falafel, it was tasty! nice shady day at Oaks Park made the setting really lovely. great service, quick and friendly.. I'll have to get to their regular location soon! read more

My Son took me here for Lunch a few days ago. It's located on the Portland State campus, and I probably wouldn't have found it by myself. Sheesh Shawarma shares a food truck pod with 3-4 other food businesses. David and I both chose the chicken shawarma plate, although I think we got beef instead. It was a lot of food for the money, as the meat and rice portions were very generous and delicious. Fries are also included, but one starch (rice) was enough for me. Service was efficient, but rather quiet and perfunctory. Lots of shaded outdoor seating was available. read more

Best shawarma in town! Immaculate vibes and amazing service! Literally blow all the other shawarmas I've had in Portland out of the water! If you haven't tried this place you're missing out! read more

my husband and I recently ate at Sheesh Schawarma. we ate both the beef and chicken Schawarma combos. This is some of the most amazing food I have eaten the flavors were incredible. I would highly recommend that at either of their restaurant or their food cart. The service was impeccable. They are so polite and they were so good to us. I really enjoyed this and would highly recommend them as I said thank you for your incredible service and great food. read more

Wanted something light, filling, and relatively fast (no sit down). Had a taste for Mediterranean and found Sheesh Shawarma on Yelp, decided to give the falafel sandwich a try. Service was pretty fast, we waited in the car while our food was made. Delicious falafel! Best wrap I've had in a long time! read more

The karak tea was amazing! It was warm and creamy and had the perfect balance of spices. Highly recommend!

Good food- chicken sheesh wraps good. Small portions. Order ahead because it takes 25 min per order. Will be back

We just tried the food truck, Sheesh Shawarma: it was really great! I had the chicken combo: it had a wonderful combination of ingredients and flavors plus the rice was the best I've had in years. The chicken was best quality and cooked just right, even the fries were wonderful. I'm usually disappointed in food I get ordering out, but everything on the plate was outstanding. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. I hope I get another chance to get their food. read more
