Shawarma House

Atmosphere: Food truck, but the Cart Side Pod has a great atmosphere with TV's, outdoor patios, a bar an upstairs and downstairs and heat lampsFood: The Lamb Saj was delicious and a slightly unique twist with fries, pickles, garlic sauce and hot saucePrice: $12 for a footlong Lamb Saj. Reasonable compared to elsewhere in townService: Good service. They take Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. Food took a little while to prepare but not anything unreasonable.Parking: There is street parking nearby

OKAY, THIS PLACE WAS THE BOMB!!! We got the lamb gyros, a chicken gyro, and the falafel platter, and fries (the fries are huge...so you only need one!). Get a side of the garlic sauce for the fries Nothing disappointed! And it was freezing outside, so we ate inside the Garden Tavern (they allow all food trucks patrons to eat in there...so grab a beer while you're there ). YUM!!!!

YUMMY!!! This place has one, if not THE BEST lamb gyro in Portland. For reference, I'm comparing this to the Moonlight Mediterranean Food Cart just a few minutes away which also has reaaaally good lamb gyro. You MUST try the lamb gyro here. I never used to eat lamb but I took a leap of faith to try both this place and Moonlight Mediterranean and they have both converted me to being believers LOL.

This is our first here, we've been meaning to stop by, when we passed by a few months ago. We were heading to Black Bear restaurant, when we pulled in the parking lot, I spotted CORE, and remembered: I wanted to try this new pod!It's Sunday, there weren't many opened, but the first one we spotted I already knew I wanted to eat at Shawarma. I picked Lamb Wrap, hubby picked Giant Gyros. I went back in the car, it's much warmer and safer. It didn't take long, when hubby came back with our food. We picnicked in the car.I was shocked, how long it was! (It could have been cut in half like in the photo). By the time, I ate half, it started to drip, and I caught it just in the nick of time, so it didn't go on my nice, church clothes! It was so good, though!The Gyros was very generous with meat, & delicious. He ate every bite!These two foods, will always be our favorites!

Two of us shared the Classic - loaded with tender chicken, it was just great! We did not need their hot sauce, as everything was welk seasoned and a juice lemon wax included to squeeze over it all. We weren't sure it was enuf food for I r 2 when ordering so we got tasty Pot Stickers and Seaweed Roll from the cart next door. Bargain lunch for 2, with Tske Home. A Pint of Bend's 8.1% Belgian Tripel (indoors at HH price) was also a sweet treat. Our last visit we shared a bowl from another cart. Also worth a return!

Really great gyro! Meat had awesome flavor, everything tasted fresh. Dolmas were also very good. Hummus was a little too tahini heavy for me, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for everyone. Baklava was a little on the dry side and kinda fell apart. Overall a really good meal though. I would definitely eat here again.

Best service. Best food. Best location. Can't recommend this spot enough! I typically go to them when I'm at the food carts, but I ordered for pickup today and it's the same quick and friendly service. Their dolmas, falafel, gyros, fries, everything is so good.

This place is a gem inside the Cartside pod. The lamb saj is SO. DAMN. GOOD. Highly recommended.

Got a chicken gyro (spicy) on Sunday and I'm not gassin ya'll when I say it was the best gyro I've had in literal years. And the gentleman running it was very warm and approachable. I will be back!

Best food truck I've had in a while! The falafel was delicious. Great blend of flavors and the texture was spot on. Soft shell and there was an ample amount of tzatziki sauce. The gentleman who served me was very pleasant, as well.
