Falafel in Portland, OR

“It's too bad The Lamp essentially went out of business during the COVID shutdown, and is unlikely to return to the cool neighborhood bar that it used to be. Luckily, the Aladdin Theater took over the space so at least you can still hang out and have a drink while waiting for the show next door to open. Beats waiting outside in the rain.“

“I was recommended this place by my boss, we come nearby occassionally for an education program across the street. Glad I listened.

Man. I ordered the half and half plate, falafel and gyro. The salad, the hummus, the hotsauce, the salad, the bread, everything. I was humming to myself in an empty dining room in joy. My only negative was eventually running out of food. There is an additional joy of having a meal of components. Building up each bite is actually an underrated, fun experience that adds to the enjoyment of making perfect bites, adding/removing things to notice differences in whats loudest.

Service was kind and delightful, what I could only describe as being wholely invited in to someones kitchen.

This place lifted my mood significantly, 5/5.“

“Best Gyro in town- no question. Friendly & inviting atmosphere with indoor seating option. Kids 12 and under eat free- 🤯 Affordable, delicious, and filling! 10/10 doesn’t feel good enough“
