An Eater’s Guide to Halal Dining in Portland, Oregon

"This Southeast Powell food cart, in the John’s Marketplace pod, stuffs lightly blistered flatbread with well-seasoned halal lamb or little balls of falafel, joined by lettuce, tomato, pickles, olives, and tzatziki. The wraps are available with thinner saj or thicker pita, depending on the diner’s ideal bread-to-stuff ratio; regardless of the choice, these wraps are gargantuan with nice attention to detail, balancing zippy sauces with plenty of pops of brine or pickle. For dessert, an order of pistachio baklava is a must." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
