“How I heard of this place: Visiting Portland, friends suggested Persian Kabab as the best in the city. It was out of the way last time, but we made it be on our way this time. Type of cuisine: Persian food in a Southwest food cart! Ambiance: It's a food cart, so less to write about, as it faces the street, along with about a dozen other carts serving Mediterranean, Mexican, Japanese and other meal options. The cart is pink with a sketched drawing of the proprietor, who looks just like the drawing! What I ordered: We selected a mixed combo (joojeh & Loo idea kababs) with rice and BBQ tomatoes (additional $1 each). The two meals were served in a foil container "to keep it hot" (a nice, thoughtful touch), with fresh basil, and spicy red onion on the side. What I loved: the joojeh (chicken breast) kabab was juicy, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The rice was flaky and lightly greasy, which we loved. BBQ tomatoes can't be missed! Why I loved it: Friendly proprietor, delicious food, and a pink-painted cart! Cost: Average“
“I can't say enough about Blue Olive. The food is amazing & better than I expected, but the staff & and owner are what makes this place fun to be at. They're friendly, outgoing & have hearts of gold. If you are ever in the area, please stop & give this place a chance. Oh, by the way, Blue Olive has two of the best bartenders in Oregon.“
“Went here for the first time and the food was good! Had the chicken kabob and kobideh kabob and both were good. I gave them 4 stars because the lady was not very welcoming or nice at all. She sat there watching something on her phone and completely ignored us while we waited to order even when I said hello. The man was very nice and attentive.“
“Stopped by here at around 8:30pm on Christmas Day. We ended up going to an event that unfortunately didn't serve food & it was too late to cook so we drove around a bit on our way home to see if ANYTHING was open. So of course they were busy, being the only spot we could find on Christmas, but the food came out super quick, about 15 minutes. That's pretty fast with how busy they were & we watched him make our food to order. Smile on his face the entire time! Hard to find anyone working around the holidays looking cheerful but he definitely managed. Loved it. Really good gyro, no gross burnt bits. Usually gyro is so greasy I get sick, but not from Parseh. I'm usually not a fan of sumac on my food but there was just the right amount that it wasn't overpowering the other flavors. I just wish there was a little more yogurt sauce on the sandwich & salt on the fries. Wings were surprisingly delicious & the sauce wasn't just HOT, there was some flavor. It tasted good. Glad we checked this place out, we'll be back!“
“Went here for dinner with family and it was amazing. Best Persian food in town. The server was super friendly and gave us great service. The place was clean and they had a live DJ and belly dancer it was a great night to eat dance and enjoy some great Persian culture. I got the chicken barg soltani and it was delicious. This place has lots of parking so that was not an issue. I highly recommend this restaurant you will not be disappointed.“
“Know this is a meat place - and they do meat increadibly well. 5 stars for that.Fresh feta ❤ and basil. Green olives in tart marinade.Warm, cozy atmosphere.Larger party. We came in about 8pm on a Friday, after exploring the area around and not getting a table for 6. They were able to accommodate us and even stayed open a bit later than close without saying anything - letting us be social.Good food. We tried nearly all the appetizers - size wise better fit for 2-3 people each. Meat plates could be shared by 2 average people or one very hungry person(two kabobs), especially with appetizers. Relaxed table service, had to request more water - but that's an American expectation. Still very friendly, especially given the hour.They need more signs that let people know where they are (around the corner from thai place)Thank you for a lovely evening!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Lots of families, children when we arrived“
“My family and I had lunch here on Sunday this last weekend, the food was amazing, the staff/owners clearly put a great deal of effort and care into the preparation of the food and it shows. They were so welcoming and attentive; the food was fantastic and portions plentiful. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks!“
