“Great food in a nice atmosphere.“

“I've eaten here multiple times. Some of the very best Arabic food in SE Portland, and the tastiest burgers in the Montavilla neighborhood! The owner is not only an exceptionally kind & friendly person, he's passionate about the quality of the food!“

“First-timers today. We ordered the Big Lamb Gyro, dolmas and french fries, and are very happy to recommend this place. Portions were large and the food was extremely fresh, but the thing that impressed me and raises Omar’s versions above other similar places was his seasoning. Subtle, not overpowering, but distinctive. Dolmas touched with just enough lemon, gyros well-balanced with tzatziki, hot sauce and some other flavors I couldn’t quite identify, subtle flavoring of the lamb. I was prepared for a pretty standard, ho-hum gyro, but this was much more. Worth a return trip.“

“Delicious. Syrian/Lebanese - the flavors were smoother/softer than I’m used to. The pita was soft, closer to a fluffy flour tortilla, and the sandwiches we had that came in a pita were actually wrapped in a trifolded pita and pressed like a panini. The felafel were big and delicious. The baklava was in a orange blossom syrup and was perfect. The service was personable and on point. It’s on an active block of N Williams, so it’s a fun area to walk around before/after. Highly recommended.“

“Had the best experience in Portland. Got to talk to a legit Lebanese and taste Lebanese food. Being from a small town in Idaho and getting to experience this was amazing. Service was awesome, food was even better than amazing, would reccomend this place to anyone! Thanks“

“Step into a vibrant tapestry of flavors! From the moment you're greeted, a warm, inviting atmosphere washes over you, hinting at the culinary delights to come. Each dish is a fragrant masterpiece, bursting with layers of aromatic spices and tender ingredients that transport your senses to another world. The main courses are generously portioned and incredibly satisfying, and every bite feels like a lovingly prepared feast. It’s more than just a meal; it's an authentic, soul-satisfying experience that celebrates hospitality and the incredible depth of a rich culinary tradition. Absolutely delightful!“

“The BEST Baklava!!! So fresh and delicious!“

“I’ve been coming here for 2 years now and oh my god, it hits every time. It’s such good food for a very affordable price for how much they give you. The people who work here are so incredibly nice and do everything so well. It’s really a great place to go. 10/10“

“This is such a fun place! the owner and staff made my daughter and I feel very welcome, including her Med alert dog. Their food was tasty and the Bellydancing show was great fun and very entertaining. The place was packed but yet they managed to serve everyone with a big smile. Thank you Aladdin's Cafe. I will definitely be back.“

“This place is amazing. They have tasty food, that's healthy, and it comes out fast. Cool music and sunny outdoor patio too. The staff is nice and helpful. I got the gluten-free quesadilla and it tastes just like the regular one. So good! I recommend the comfort bowl if its your first time here, the NY sauce is ridiculously yummy.“

“I recently attended an event catered by Kabob and was delighted by the variety and quality of the dishes they provided. The choices I made were all vegetarian, but from the comments I over heard everyone enjoyed their non-vegetarian meals as much as I did my plant based one.“

“Food good [Original] Food good“

“The food was excellent and made to perfection! The staff were very inviting and so friendly. They treated us like we were family. An extremely pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“So disappointed... That I didn't know about this place sooner!! Last night my husband told me he had NEVER eaten a gyro. I knew I had to correct this immediately. So, I started looking for gyros near me. Now, since he's never tried one, I didn't want him to have a bad first experience that would put him off of them forever since I enjoy them so much. I chose this establishment based on very high google reviews (5 stars) and because it's so close to where we live (5 mins). This place has gone beyond expectations! The food is amazing! Perfect blend of delicious spices and ingredients. HUGE amount of food. It was so delicious that I scarfed it down so fast I got sauce up my nose. I'm so happy that we found this little gem. We will be eating here regularly from now on. Thank you, Gyro Grill Kabob!!! ❣️“

“I highly recommend Pita Giovanni, Gargantuan gyros overflowing with succulent lamb and a vibrant medley of veggies. Falafel were flavor-bombs, each bite a symphony of crispy exterior and tender heart.“

“It was our first time at Gyro House SE Portland and we really loved it! The food was fresh, tasty, and the portions were big. What made our visit even more special is that we don’t speak English very well, but the staff were so kind and patient, helping us understand the menu and choose what to order. That was very important for us and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come back again — highly recommend this place!“

“I came here with my friend last night and it was bomb. I had the chicken shawarma and it was heavenly, and a huge amount of food. Certainly get what you pay for. I definitely recommend this place and plan on going back to try the Portland burrito and some of the appetizers!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gyro Bistro, located in SE Portland's new WonderLove, featuring a three-story bar and food cart pod, is a true gem! From the moment you arrive, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly food cart staff set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.

The gyros are absolutely phenomenal, but don't miss out on the baba ghanoush and grape leaves – they are simply to die for! The baba ghanoush is creamy and flavorful, while the grape leaves are perfectly seasoned and tender.

The food is fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. With reasonable prices and top-notch service, Gyro Bistro is a must-visit.

Highly recommended for anyone strolling through SE Portland down the road from OMSI!“

“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!“

“Everything is extremely fresh! I had the lamb gyro plate and my wife had the Greek salad with chicken. Very generous portions of rice and lamb. The Tzatziki was excellent. Ample seating at high top bar-style window seats, half table/ half booth and three round four top tables. I could get addidicted to this place!“

“One of my favorites in Metro area since I moved here. Very professional and friendly people. I really do like their foods. Had a great experience ! They have delicious gyros (I love their lamb gyro). The tabouli is amazing as well! Also they have delicious Hummus that I love. If you want to try the Mediterranean food such as gyro , felafel, hummus, and other stuff, do not miss this place!“

“Best gyros around hands down! And the home made salads and baklava are amazing!“
