“We visited our son two weeks ago and he took us here. The food was absolutely delicious and the manager/owner was so friendly and gracious. We sampled the walnut baklava along with the pistachio and both were amazing. We were completely stuffed and enjoyed our dinner there. Would highly recommend!“

“These guys are fantastic!!! Friendly service and a casual atmosphere, but some of the best middle eastern food I've had. The babaganoosh is smokey and perfectly balanced, the Kafka kabob is great and the marinated chicken breast on basmati rice is tender. I'll be back every chance I get!“

“Karam catered our wedding and was a definite crowd-pleaser. We ordered lamb and chicken shawarma, chicken kebab, falafel, tabouleh, dolmas, and majadra, along with hummus and baba ghannouj. Everything was delicious, just as it is whenever we dine or get takeout from Karam. Our only regret is that we didn't order baklava, too!“

“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious“

“We ordered the fried chicken, summer salad, hummus with burnt beef tips and the corn ribs. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The summer salad in particular was refreshing and different. I can not recommend this place enough.“

“We had an absolutely fabulous meal at this cozy Italian bistro-what a gem. The carefully constructed menu offers lots of inventive twists on traditional Italian cuisine like the amazingly delicious fresh burrata with fresh seasonal berries and a strawberry coulis! Superb! I also loved the fresh baked focaccia with its fluffy texture and crackling crust and stuffed with savory rosemary and soft roasted garlic (so good I ended up getting a second order of it). The short rib arancini were crispy with a nice sauce and are ordered by the each.

I forgot to mention that the menu is designed for sharing so plan on 2-3 dishes per person. The spicy pork pasta had fun thin ribbons of noodles with a curly edge (like skinny lasagne noodles) and wasn’t too spicy. My wife really like the seasonal sweet corn ravioli with its beautiful lite preparation. All this food was more than enough and very reasonably priced. The wine list is small but assembled with a careful eye and the by the glass options were of high quality.

Service was friendly and the meal moved along at a relaxed pace. Water glasses were filled and team service ensured prompt delivery of food and clearing of dishes.

The dining room is small with a wonderful hand-painted tile floor. Definitely recommended but be sure to make a reservation. They were full by 7 on a Thursday when we visited.“

“Excellent experience overall. We loved the food, the staff, and the ambience. One of the son’s was happy to share the family owned restaurant’s journey with us and treated us like welcomed guests. We finished with a birthday cheesecake and coffee for dessert. Thank you.“

“Amazingly delicious food! Pizza was unbelievably good and unique. Roman and his crew were so genuine and accommodating. The cheese pie was perfect for the kids and the jalepeno pineapple, mushroom sausage and even dessert pizza... All excellent. Will definitely be a new favorite on our list!“

“We had merguez tagine and Turkish coffee. Fabulous food and friendly service.“

“Had the chicken shawarma taco for Taco Week and it was great! Also had a falafel salad - falafel had amazing flavor! Loved their hot sauce too. The owner is also super nice and says his wife makes all the desserts. Can’t wait to try more things!“

“I tired them on a hunt on door dash to try something new! so glad I did! I've had the doner wrap, fries, an pita strips w/ hummus! I absolutely LOVE everything. I'd recommend this place to anyone. I can only imagine how good it is ordering in. try it! you'll love it.“

“Their lamb Shawarma seasoned with, I believe, cardamom and other things, was the most astonishingly delicious meat I've ever eaten in my life. And it's in a very nice part of town!“

“Best gyro in town! The lamb is so amazing. Brought a friend from out of town and she said it was the best she’s ever had. 😋“

“Mediterranean food place just under new management as of June 2026. Waiter explained that he is altering dishes to be more authentically Syrian and Iraqi. I enjoyed his enthusiasm. And everything in the veggie combo. The falafel and dolmades were perfect, tasty but not greasy. The okra soup was fun to try as I don't ever see that on the menu.“

“So delicious! We got the brisket gyro platter and a side of roasted vegetables. The brisket was tender, juicy and flavorful. All the sauces were great too, especially the hummus, which tasted freshly made. This unassuming little place is really punching above its weight!“

“One of the best gyro platters in town. It was delicious ! Super fresh and flavorful ingredients. The staff was very kind and friendly. Everything was top in my opinion. The only issue was the outdoor seating area, which felt uncomfortable due to people yelling nearby. I’d recommend takeout instead.“

“I've been coming here for lunch whenever I can for the past two years, and it never disappoints! Easily some of the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food in the Portland area. There can be a bit of a wait during lunch hour since it's a one-man food cart operation (at most 10-15 minutes), but it's always worth it since everything is fresh and made-to-order. From the massive gyros to the delicious plates, everything is a must-try. To top it off, Ali is incredibly friendly and passionate, and it truly shows in the quality of his food.“

“Amazing service and delicious food!“

“The man who owns this cart is a gem. He is very kind. The first time I went there I got lamb Saj. This is my go too. I also ordered Dolmas (Stuffed Grape leaves). Authentic Iraqi cuisine.

The second time I went I let him pick what to give me. I will be back. Twice the food was perfect.“

“Best Gyros I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend. Quality ingredients, masterfully crafted! We make a point of stopping in every time we visit Portland!“

“Israeli style food, pizza,sandwiches, beverages, soup/side of rustic bread is always excellent!

Vegetarian options: Yes salads, great grilled cheese sandwiches and much more. Dairy kitchen. Tuesday nights, fabulous dinners (meat).

Dietary restrictions: Strictly Kosher“

“5 STARs hands down the best Mediterranean food in Portland“

“Wow. I got the lamb gyro with some falafel in it... and this was probably the best gyro I ever had. I got the spicy version and the tzatziki totally balanced it out - not too spicy, just flavorful. The lamb was tender and the falafel was moist and crunchy.

Highly recommend.“

“Great people, really good, authentic food!“

“Just dropped in for the first time. Got the lamb mezza platter. Amazing! The tabbouleh is wonderfully herbaceous, the falafel is produced in-house and fantastic! Every bite was a wonderful experience of flavor and texture! Full, and very, very, very satisfied. Can't wait for a return visit!“

“This was my first visit to Shawarma Express Halal, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful with food selections. I’ll definitely be going back.“

“We pick up take out from here at least once a month. It is always fast and good quality with a large serving sizes. Their chicken shawarma and lamb gyros are my favorites among all the other gyro restaurants in the area. Staff was helpful for dietary restrictions. They have Arabic and Greek style pita bread, which both are good. It is in a strip mall so not much atmosphere but the food makes up for it. My kids really like the chicken shawarma and it is so easy for a quick dinner.“

“I ordered a chicken gyro and it was very good. The gentleman waiting on me was very courteous friendly and answered all my questions. I also got a bottle of coke. There's an area next to it with two picnic tables that was nice I was able to sit there and eat my meal. Very clean area and I will return to eat there again in the future. Price for gyro and drink were very fair and respectable, at $13 total.“

“The man who took our order went out of his way to pack our food up for our beach trip, including a bag of ice for the tatziki😌 the food was amazing, fresh and portions were large and fairly priced. We're excited to visit again! Thank you Monte Gyro!“

“I’ve visited this place several times, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots. My regular order is the falafel sandwich with Turkish coffee, and both are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The quality and consistency of the food keep me coming back.

The prices are also very reasonable compared to many places in Portland, which makes it an even better value. On top of that, the owner is a genuinely kind and welcoming person who creates a warm atmosphere for customers.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and fair prices“

“Amazing flavors for the egg plant Masala and Lamb saag that I ordered. Medium heat was still pretty spicy. Better value than at a restaurant. Hummus could use more garlic, but overall- absolutely delicious. Last Saturday of the month features an open mic in this tiny park.“
