"Used to be a go-to every week.Used to be portions that would stuff your belly.Used to be cheaper than a food truck.Now outrageously expensive. $100 lunch for two?Now petite portions that made you say what?Parking has always been horrible at the original Grand location and worse now on Broadway.This was never a friendly smiley place but you looked past it for the value. Last time our food was thrown together in an unappetizing presentation and it took 40 minutes too long.Dining area needs a deep clean."
"Heard good things about this place from local Iranian community so was very excited to try and indeed they're really good!Popping on a Friday dinner, staffs were all busy serving and prepping delicious food. We split the Kabob Barg and Koobideh. They're both very well-cooked, seasoned, and tender but the winner goes to the Koobideh for me. Super, super juicy. You can actually see the owner/chef cooking everything fresh from behind the counter. The dishes were served with saffron rice and salad. The salad was a sleeper hit! Super flavorful and herby. I would gladly just do salad for my plate next time.They got other interesting appetizers and main on offer as well but the grilled plates were definitely their specialty. Desserts from other tables also looked enticing; will check that out next time.Lots of tables in a modern space. A great spot in general!"
"A good place in the neighborhood to get either some kabobs and gyros. I enjoyed my gyro as it was both flavorful and pretty filling. It was something that went well during the hot weather. We also ordered the Kubideh kabob platter over salad, and that was good. The service here is pretty friendly."
"Came on a Sunday evening. It wasn't busy so we sat down right away. Service was great! We had the chicken breast plate, chicken shawarma plate, and kafta kabob plate. Our favorites were the chicken breast and kafta though everything was delicious! The hummus is also a must order for appetizer because it was AMAZING I could have had just a giant bowl of that for my whole meal. The pita it comes with is also FRESH and hot. The rice they serve the meat with is a little on the sweet side with bites of cinnamon and nutmeg in it but goes well with the salt of the meats. Easy neighborhood parking and super cute street.I'd be back! I don't know why they aren't more busy because its a great place!"
"A fun spot with super cool happy hour deal. The moment they opened, people flooded in. During happy hour (4.30-5.30PM), you get $2 off house cocktails and $3 off small plates!I got the Piri Piri Prawns at happy hour price. It came with five large and fresh prawns. The sauce was zesty and refreshing. Love the garlics in there as well.I also got the Pasta Malfatti which was a uniquely spicy pasta. The sauce was rich with spices and chicken sausage. I've never had pasta like this before. The pasta itself was lasagna-shaped, fresh, and well-cooked (maybe a tad overdone) but it came out super hot which I love. Definitely a rich dish and the portion was great. Would be great to share with people so you can try multiple.The service was fast and friendly. I love the ambience inside a lot as well, very relaxing. This would be a fun spot for a special occasion or to meet up with a group if people. I would love to be back for their Penne Burrata, Goat Cheese Ravioli, and drinks!"
"By the time we finally stopped in for dinner here, I'd driven by Two Brothers Rakia Bar and Grill an uncountable number of times, each time vowing that someday I'd stop in and see what it was all about. Prior to our first visit (which also happened to be on my birthday), I was only vaguely aware of what Balkan cuisine is like thanks to an episode or two of Anthony Bourdain, but honestly, I had no idea of what to expect.Now I do: Delicious, hearty, filling, heartwarming, unpretentious, down-to-earth dishes that flirt with aspects of Russian, Turkish, and Mediterranean flavors and ingredients. And that Rakia? Amazing! What is Rakia, you ask? Think of it as "fruit brandy", and you're pretty close. There are several types, each distilled from a particular fruit, the most common being apples, pears, apricots, grapes and quince. It's also quite strong, so you won't be knocking back more than a few, if you plan on driving home!We ordered a hummus and pita appetizer, and the Combo 2 to split between us, as I couldn't decide between the singular cevapi, sudzuka sausage, or goulash entrées above, and decided to knock out as many as I could with one blow. Two outta three ain't bad...but I *am* coming back for that goulash!Everything that was served hit the spot! The cevapi, listed as a "beef roll", are a sort of finger food meatball (no fork required! well, I didn't use one, anyway!) that pair wonderfully with the provided sour cream and ajvar, a red pepper and eggplant spread. Dip and dunk to your heart's content! And despite looking like glorified breakfast links, the sudzuka sausages pack a powerful flavor punch that was well received by us both. The flavor is strong, earthy, unique, and really just amazing. It made me want to start poking around international grocers and strip mall Russian to find them again!The interior was a little smaller than I expected, but it was clean, cozy, dimly yet warmly lit, with an ambient glow coming from behind the bar. A couple of TVs were playing sporting events. The bartender doubled, and tripled, as our server and the bus boy, and he did so with a friendly, welcoming demeanor. He appeared to be alone at first (where is his brother?!), until we spied a woman (who was probably his mother, judging from the interactions we observed) holding down the fort in the kitchen, and doing all the cooking. To her, I say "Gemrieli! Gmadlobt! Chven davbrundebit!"Upon leaving Two Brothers, my wife and I both walked away impressed, a little more cultured, a little tipsy, a little heavier, and a little happier! Not a bad way to celebrate my 44th orbit around the sun! And the next time I end up driving by Two Brothers, there's a strong likelihood that I'll be making a detour and ending up in the parking lot instead!Gaumarjos!"
"I love Spitz! Ingredients are fresh and the portion sizes are healthy! Come hungry, for sure. Looking forward to trying the wraps. I kept seeing them come out of the kitchen and they look magnificent."
"Hidden gym in Portland. The pod is a bit hard to find and easy to miss unless you live in the area. There's no parking so prepare yourself for a bit of walking. Lamb gyro over rice: 5/5, one of the best lamb I've ever had. It isn't stinky or moist, the flavor is in every bite and delicious. I only wished there were more lamb in our rice plate.Service was really fast, we got our food within 3 minutes and it's located in one of the photo friendly pods, lots and lots of seating as well."

I am visiting Portland for the first time in 5 years and after a perfect morning at the Art in the Pearl event, my friend and I drove over the river to eat lunch here. I mean, look at all this gorgeous and delicious food?! I have been dreaming of that Big Bread for YEARS!

Great food! Fast service (I ordered out during the dinner rush and my food was ready within 20 minutes). I had the koobideh plate and hummus. Pita bread with the hummus was good. The hummus was smooth in texture and good in flavor. The koobideh was spot on in terms of flavor. The pricing was great in relation to portion sizes. I wish I would have orders the basmati rice with the barberries to add more flavor to the rice.

When quality speaks for itself, words can hardly express our gratitude to this establishment. We drove all the way from Seattle just to savor their exceptional Persian cuisine. Whenever we dine out, we compare every Persian restaurant to Caspian, and this time, we brought our parents along--they rated it a perfect 10/10. If you're looking for authentic Persian food that brings the true taste of home, you must try this outstanding restaurant. High quality, genuine flavor, and excellent food.

I love this place! It's an old Victorian house converted into a restaurant. The owners are the ones serving and bartending. The food is soooo good! They make their pita bread to order. It comes out a piping hot pillow. We got the vegetarian mezze platter, Tarboosh Samboseek, the labne, and artichoke. The mezze is just perfect. The falafel reminded me of the falafel in San Francisco I use to get. The artichoke dish was bit mushy and salty, but really everything else was divine. You might need to ask for your check, but that's not a concern of mine. Seeing the owner work her tail off and the food being great is enough to keep me coming back!

"This place has the best lamb gyros I have ever had in my life. Used to feel pretty indifferent about Mediterranean food until I realized I just never had good Mediterranean food. I did not believe lamb could be this tender. We ordered some for breakfast and made another trip before leaving Portland. They're also MUCH bigger than the Gyros I am used to.The staff was incredibly sweet. I'm definitely coming back when I visit the area."
"Food stand located in Cartopia.Chicken Gyro ($12) - Good portions, strange gyro. It was sort of like marinated bits of chicken. It was tasty though, especially with the garlic sauce!"
"First time here. And I'll definitely be back. Little spot inside of a market. I had the lamb gyro and it was filling and full of flavor. I like the big chunks of meat in it rather than thin slices of meat. Sauces that came with it were tasty as well. The baklava was just average. Other that that food was made fresh to order. Give it a try"
"There were at least six people in line when we got here for dinner on Saturday night. This was our first time and we didn't know what to expect. All the pictures on Yelp showed so many appetizing dishes. Everything was really delicious. The meats were marinated, not fatty, excellent! I really appreciate it that the rice was seasoned. Sides of Tzatziki and hummus along with the salad added attention to detail. We couldn't finish everything. But we will still be enjoying it all again tomorrow. Besides the fantastic food offerings... the owner is kind, efficient and cheerful! Thank you! SHUKRAN"
"Very busy restaurant near the river downtown Portland. I got the shrimp burrito and it was very filling and good. It came with a small salad. You walk in, try not to get confused by the gathering waiting to get their food to go and order at the counter, then seat yourself. Everyone was friendly. Reasonable prices."
"Forgive me, but I must Yaba Yabaa ... Dooooo myself a favor by getting some tasty and surprisingly filling Lebanese-style Mediterranean favorites from the Yaba Yabaa food cart at Happy Valley Station. * Lamb Master Sandwich ($10) with extra MeatThis should be called the "Monster Sandwich" and come with a warning label because it is a gyro beast. (4 stars) * Hummus ($6) and Pita BreadSmooth and creamy with a trio of olives and not nearly enough pita slices packaged to go. More pita and less olives for me next time. (4 stars)As with most of the cart vendors at the HV Station, service at the counter is friendly and fast. Once you get your gyro, shawarma, falafel, kafta, or kebab, you can choose to sit indoors, outside, or head home like your sliding down the back of a dinosaur at 5:00 yelling Yaba Yabaa Doooooo!"
"Love this place, hands down the best gyro you'll have in Portland. A little hole in the wall joint with BIG flavor! Best in the city. 10/10"
"I was wandering by from somewhere else and was jonesing for lunch. I got the vegan gyro, and it was delicious! The herbs and flavoring were perfect. The salad and potatoes were just right as accompaniments. The pita was nice and fluffy with a sumptuous amount of hummus. Would totally come back some time!"
"This truck was right next to the La Jarochita truck where I got a tofu burrito. And since I knew I needed something to supplement my burrito, I ended up buying a side of fries from here. Was surprised to see that they had some dry seasoning on the fries. Fries were perfectly cooked and delicious."
"Curiously, there aren't any reviews yet. I stopped by for an evening snack. I liked how they have small and large sizes for lots of their sandwiches which is just what I wanted. The person working the food cart tonight was super friendly and seemed to know his way around the kitchen. The food was pretty standard and came out pretty quickly. The flavors were pretty decent, and I appreciated that my small chicken shawarma automatically came with hummus inside it. I'd come back again if I were looking for just a smidgen of food in the area."
"On a cold, wet afternoon, Yaba Yabaa came through with terrific comfort food, and this pod had plenty of covered seating that allowed me to enjoy my lunch on site.I'm a big fan of Kafta, so my sandwich choice was tipped in this direction, though I'm anxious to return in order to try out the Lamb Gyro and Chicken Shawarma sandwich options. Or, maybe a plate, or perhaps a salad. And probably some Baklava. Lots of options here, and I haven't even mentioned the Falafel that other people have raved about.The highlight for me was that this particular sandwich came with both a garlic hummus spread and tahini. The result turned out to be along the lines of the tastiest aioli I've ever tried. Regardless of what I order on my next visit, my plan is to request this combo again."
"Kind service on multiple times I got food from this cart. They're quick and professional. The food is fresh and hot. Love the rice and chicken shawarma. Their potatoes are yummy too"
"Possibly one of the best food carts I've had in Portland. My friends came on a hungry Friday afternoon and found this food cart pod outside of PSU.We decided to order a couple Kabab Plates, which comes with a choice of meat (we got lamb), tumeric rice, hummus, tzatziki, a side salad, and a piece of pita bread. The meat was absolutely tender, the sauce and rice was so flavorful, and the pita bread with the hummus & tzatziki were heavenly. The entire Kabab Plate was to die for.There was only one man working in the food cart and he was friendly and wearing a face mask. Very happy to stumble across his food cart."
"Delicious Falafel Plate includes 6 freshly made falafels (but he gave me a extra one!). There is hummus, yogurt, lettuce salad, pita bread, and rice. The chef gave me 4 dipping sauces which also worked with my partner's French fries. The $13 plate is plenty for 2 meals.This small food cart plaza has easy parking and a variety of other cuisines: Philly Cheesesteak, Salvadoran Pupusas, and Mexican."
"Great food cart in Cartlandia. The hog dogs and the fish and chips are delicious. They stay open late (2am) and the owner is very attentive and friendly."

"Couldn't take pictures, because it was dark, but I had a fantastic chicken shawarma here. The chef was friendly and took so much care in preparing it. He even topped it with a kiss of hummus. It was flavorful and perfect with every bite. Probably my favorite shawarma on this block!"
"Food was great! Not overly saucy like other places. Owned and operated by an actual middle eastern makes for better middle eastern food! Owner is very nice. Easy to access location with plenty of parking. Shaded area to wait. Highly recommend! Best shawarma I've had in Portland!"
"Yelp hours state 11am to 9pm. At 12:08, they still weren't open so we didn't get a chance to try them.Some staff appeared around 12:20 or so. The ordering window went up at 12:35. We decided to place an order anyway. We were told that it would take about 15 minutes.The food was ready as promised and off we went to feed our friends. Rating after we eat."
