“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“
“The culinary experience and the expertise of the chef are truly remarkable. As a professional private chef, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to everyone. My selection, the number five, surpassed my expectations and stands out as one of the most exceptional dishes I have enjoyed in quite some time.“
“I got the mango lassi, samosas, & gulab jamun. Very tasty! It took about half an hour to get my food, but I’m not holding that against them! It was busy at the pod & the small snack (I wasn’t hungry enough for more) was more than worth the wait. I think I’ll try their punjabi paratha, raita, & halwa!“
“Friendly, average prices, moderate wait for food. The man at the counter answered any questions people had. Basic order at the counter vibe. I had the kabob salad. Good flavor. Liked that they de-seeded the tomatoes and cucumbers. Will go again when I'm in that area.“
