Mira’s East African Cuisine Provides Iftar Meals for Portland Ramadan - Eater Portland

"Every year during Ramadan, Samira Mohamed, the owner of Montavilla food cart Mira’s East African Cuisine, gathers with her entire family for Iftar... Mohamed opened Mira’s last August, which means this Ramadan will be her first as a food cart owner; to celebrate, she’s going to spend the month making the Iftar dishes she loved growing up for those who can’t spend their Ramadan with family." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

I had the Chicken Suqaar over rice, some chicken wrap and Sombusi. The Food definetly hit. Grade A Somali food, 10/10 will come back! The sauce she gives really hit too!

I had the pasta, meat and sabaayad everything was 10/10 I definitely recommend. The food portion is good for me and the food is flavorful. The meat is tender and sabaayad had the perfect level of flakiness. The food cart is located in a great area and the whole area is very clean. The customer service is amazing and Mira is very kind and inviting.

First off the person working was super helpful with my ignorance. The food tastes amazing! The meat was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The only bad thing is they were out of lamb…looks like I have to go back. :)

This was my first time having food from a East African food cart and this was by far one of the best experiences I’ve encountered from eating at a food truck. The food was amazing. From eating the food and also getting the chance to try the smoothies, I’m for sure going to be here a lot.

Photo in menu does not match their food(photo looks much nicer) real food comes with little portion and small bite. The rice and meat are super dry, you can’t eat and even choke with it! Totally waste of money! It is hard to have customers coming back! 🚨 Don’t trust the photo of the food at all!

I'm enjoying a vegetable with goat curry dish. Salad and rice are included with sides of yogurt and hot sauce. Delicious!

For my first ever experience with African food, Somali food in particular, this will be hard to top. Mira's was a good introduction to a cuisine that I will try again soon. Over on NE 82nd and Davis is a newer food pod called The Yard, with about 10-15 carts and it happens to be close to where I live. I've hit up a couple of the carts so far but Mira's wasn't usually open when I've been by. Comfort food. That's what my take on Somali food is. At least from what I ate, a dish called Baris and Maraq. A lamb and vegetable stew. On a side note: watch for bones. This stew was loaded with tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, carrots and plenty of lamb all slow cooked over rice. It was the suggestion of the woman running the cart. She said it was one of the most popular items on the menu. She was correct. The other favorite item on the menu was was a beef or chicken option in a dish called Suger. The stew came with two sauces, one a yogurt based sauce and the other, a red sauce, but it wasn't spicy. Nothing was, but it was very tasty. The stew is heavily based on the tomatoes, but you could taste everything. Well seasoned and the lamb was fall off the bone tender. There was also a small salad consisting of diced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Basically a palette cleanser. Similar to most Asian restaurants in town, there's enough food that you won't leave hungry. I can easily say that I want to explore more of this menu. I guess I'll see what she suggests next time. Every once in a while it's nice to try a new food that you've never even thought to try. I'm glad I did. Enjoy and support local.
