Sheesh Shawarma

Jesus took my order and blessed me with not only the food’s presentation, but a hot cup of tea while I waited in the 47° weather. Tipping was the least I could do to reciprocate the love❤️ I’ve been to their location many many times over the years and I’ve never been disappointed. Run don’t walk🏃‍♀️And give Jesus a raise!!!🗣️

Easily the best chicken shawarma I've had in the PNW. I've never been able to properly scratch the itch up in Seattle, as spots like Sultans are mediocre vs what's easily found in LA or NY. This small truck tucked in PSU's campus is the only place I've been that's on par, and does so at a reasonable price. High quality ingredients through and through, with an excellent sauce, juicy chicken and a good portion size. Plus you can cap you're night with a great cup of shahi haleeb (milk tea). Cannot recommend this place enough, and have told anyone I know in WA that this is a must stop if they're in the area.

This is my new favorite shawarma spot! Staff is so friendly and always welcome us back! The food is so tasty! The shawarma alone is big enough to fill me up! My son loves the sheesh fries with garlic sauce! But what i love most about this place is that they don’t carry any of the BDS drinks! Ethical and delicious! Highly recommend!

This shawarma food truck is a hidden gem. The food is flavorful and perfectly seasoned, and the staff provides warm, attentive service. It’s also an excellent option if you’re craving something tasty late at night

Omg there chicken shawarma was soooo good! Definitely will comeback to place if I come Portland❤️

On point fresh food - the falafel is out of this world and actually FRESH made with aromatic spices and a crunchy shell, and fresh by far is so much tastier. Cajun fries are delicious and the chicken shawarma? *chefs kiss* 🤌 Guys who run this cart are super down to earth and nice to talk to also. I mean, Sheesh! If you haven't tried Sheesh yet, what are you waiting for?!

We had a humble gathering for my partner's birthday and asked for catering for the event. We love the food cart at PSU and enjoy the walk to eat or pick up there. We asked for enough food for about 15 people, beef & chicken, rice, hummus, falafels, and loads of their sauces of which we can never get enough of. All the food was obviously made with love and care. The falafels were handed to us immediately after cooking because who doesn't love a fresh, warm falafel! The rice was made by Faisal's father and is without a doubt the best rice we've ever had. Everything was made from the heart and we were even given so much food we were lucky enough to share more for the following day. Some of our guests have never experienced Jordanian food and it blew their minds at how tasty everything was. Now they know and they know where to go. Sheesh loves to make food for people, they enjoy the happiness that they bring to everyone with their fresh and layered flavors of cuisine. Our party was fantastic as a result; everyone wanted seconds and take home plates. It went well beyond our dreams and made for a very memorable event.

First time visiting, and the experience was exceptional. Easily the best shawarma in PDX—outstanding quality and flavor. The excellent customer service made it even better. Highly recommended.

Best shawarma in town! Immaculate vibes and amazing service! Literally blow all the other shawarmas I've had in Portland out of the water! If you haven't tried this place you're missing out!

The staff were really nice! It was quite cold out so they gave customers some complimentary hot chai while we waited. It did seem like a busy day for them as the order took long, but the staff were really nice and apologetic. This is located in the back of PSU, near the field. There is street parking around the corner - the parking lot is for PSU use. The food was average for me. The beef had a good char and the sauce added some great flavor. I did feel like the beef and plate itself ate slightly sweet for me. Maybe it was sumac? I liked the onion slices, but feel like the side of pickled vegetables added too much to the plate for me.

The fries by itself were mid and needed seasoning, but with the sauce is good. The chicken shawarma was delicious for the first couple bites but quickly became boring. Needed some other components to round it out.

Great price, decent sized Shawarmas, a little off ratio with the fries and protein though. I wished there were just a bit more fries and pickles. There was a lottttt of sauce, quite overpowering. However being located on/near the college campus, I feel it could still be a hit. Especially on late nights. It's the only food joint that I saw in the area. No seating strictly for them since it's a food truck but there are nearby areas you could sit. Parking nearby, not sure how strictly enforced it is though as it's again, on/near campus.. The service was a little slow in my opinion while they did not seem busy. Not sure that I'd return but it was worth the try!

Snagged a beef shawarma combo on my way to my hotel and it was great. The food got a little messed up on the way, but that's on me! The veggies in the shawarma were super fresh and crisp, and the beef was very tender and flavorful. The fries were so good especially with their sauce. Perfectly crisp with great seasoning. The price is good too! I'd definitely be here all of the time if I lived in the area.

Came here during the week after reading reviews. There were several people waiting when we showed up. We ordered a beef shawarma and waited about 5-10 minutes. There were picnic tables nearby for us to sit and eat. The shawarma was well seasoned, not super salty or bland and very tasty. A good snack. While for $11 I would like to be full...this was just so tasty. The seesh sauce and pickles is what took it to the next level. I would return...maybe order a side next time, but wish there was more than just fries. Overall 4.5

Date: 1 August, 2025 Item Ordered: Chicken Shawrma Price: $9.99 Amount: It was more than enough for one person. Taste: So good! Loved it. * They have spicy or no spicy option. I took the spicy one. * It was ready within 5-7 minutes. * Best part: A Surah was being played on the audio player. Reminded me of the food carts of my country.

Their food is incredible! Would definitely recommend. Their Shawarma's are out of this world!!

Sheesh is AMAZING. The students & faculty at PSU are lucky to have such a fantastic shawarma spot on their campus. The sauce that they serve with the chicken & fries is also next level. Once you eat here you will understand why it's called Sheesh because it will make you say "Sheesh, this is so damn good."

Little food card that's over here at South waterfront first time I've been to it and they pack it in pretty nice for the price you're paying although I think it's just a little bit high but you know I'm not a food truck owner or in the food business or restaurant business whatsoever. Other than that, the taste is really delicious and it's about 12 inches or a little longer for that Shawarma. And if you're interested in getting the sandwich, it's the same thing just in sandwich form. You can't go around with the food selection here the service is really nice and if you see the five star rating, it's a five star service and five star food. Good for quick meals and all the good situation. Great locations every time. I recommend checking out.

Coming from the middle east (Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Kuwait) 35 years ago and where SHAWARMA and FALAFEL are almost daily meals and had tried different places in the Portland area. Sheesh Shawarma is my # 1 choice as it brings back memories and that distinctive taste I experienced back home. Friendly and courteous service, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I recommend the FALAFEL Bites with TAHINI sauce (Amazing)

First things first they are open late so that's always a plus, they have a great selection of meats even for vegetarian people as well so another check, and lastly there workers in particular yonas was very respectful and made sure our order was 100% the way we wanted it!!

We are at this place while visiting Portland on our road trip from California. It was one of the best shawarma we had even my kids loved it They also had really good service they gave of us some karak chai which was really good too. 10/10!

OK, let me start by saying I do not like falafel or so I thought, well that's not the case any longer. I usually don't like falafel because it's really dry and just blah, that's so not the case here it's moist and flavorful, let's say delicious, and let me tell you about the key. It is phenomenal. I want a huge container to take to Arizona with me..SOOOO GOOD! Tzatziki and sausages were all delicious. The chicken is a nice chicken breast. The beef was delicious. The service was fabulous next time in Portland. We will have to come back. It's worth the trip..

The Beef Shawarma was very good, the wait was extremely long (25 minutes) for a cart that didn't look that busy. Maybe online orders are superseding, I couldn't say. One thing I can say is I won't be back to this cart on my lunch break.

Chicken shawarma is very good. I didn't think that simple pickles, fries would be this good. Very nice guys as well.

my husband and I recently ate at Sheesh Schawarma. we ate both the beef and chicken Schawarma combos. This is some of the most amazing food I have eaten the flavors were incredible. I would highly recommend that at either of their restaurant or their food cart. The service was impeccable. They are so polite and they were so good to us. I really enjoyed this and would highly recommend them as I said thank you for your incredible service and great food.

happy to see them at the festival and glad I got a chance to try their falafel, it was tasty! nice shady day at Oaks Park made the setting really lovely. great service, quick and friendly.. I'll have to get to their regular location soon!

Food was excellent but it took almost 15 mins with no one in front of me. I would recommend the spot but make sure you aren't starving

Location is a bit hard to find, it's on campus and very limited parking. Family operated, great people! Service was fast and everyone was friendly. Beef shawarma wrap: 5/5, meat was tender and flavorful. Wrap was slightly toasted to where it was warm and fluffy. Must try! Lots of outdoor seating.

Some of the best food I've had in the area in a long time! Wish I would've gotten a picture. Service was amazing, very friendly and polite. Good prices for a good amount of food. Absolutely delish!

This is a brand new food cart at PSU near the library. We just wanted a quick snack at the food carts BUT when we saw the cart, the menu, food prices, and how nice the young owner is, we decided to give it a shot. After going back and forth between Humam T. and the owner, we decided on beef Shawarma per his recommendation. He was right. The sandwich was crazy crazy good. The seasoning/spices were tasty, the crunchiness of the pickle, tomatoes, and the French fries added a good touch. And then toasted on all sides. I will be driving from Gresham just to eat here and try his other offerings. Perfect spot too! Near the trees and grass. On a lovely day like this it couldn't be beat. Thank you!

I'm not going to repeat the many compliments of the other reviews; I think you probably get the point after reading a few of them. Consistently superb Shawarma sandwiches, with different complex flavors underneath the quality meats they use, and fast service make this a favorite spot in Portland. Not cheap (what is, anymore?), but at least it's worth it. I've overpaid for distinctly mediocre food many times in Portland, places charging a premium for what they believe is edgy ambiance.

There's a lot going on with their delicious and creamy ample portion hummus: olive oil, whole chickpeas, spice (sumac I think), and thin crispy pita-type chips.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! amazing amazing amazing love dat chai yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!

Wanted something light, filling, and relatively fast (no sit down). Had a taste for Mediterranean and found Sheesh Shawarma on Yelp, decided to give the falafel sandwich a try. Service was pretty fast, we waited in the car while our food was made. Delicious falafel! Best wrap I've had in a long time!

The karak tea was amazing! It was warm and creamy and had the perfect balance of spices. Highly recommend!

My Son took me here for Lunch a few days ago. It's located on the Portland State campus, and I probably wouldn't have found it by myself. Sheesh Shawarma shares a food truck pod with 3-4 other food businesses. David and I both chose the chicken shawarma plate, although I think we got beef instead. It was a lot of food for the money, as the meat and rice portions were very generous and delicious. Fries are also included, but one starch (rice) was enough for me. Service was efficient, but rather quiet and perfunctory. Lots of shaded outdoor seating was available.

WOW!!! Have you ever wondered what authentic middle eastern shawarma tastes like? Cause this is the place to find that out. For years I've wanted a place that makes it exactly like back home and this place has done it. Tastes exactly like I'm on the streets of Jordan again. Highly recommend this place!!

Good food- chicken sheesh wraps good. Small portions. Order ahead because it takes 25 min per order. Will be back

We just tried the food truck, Sheesh Shawarma: it was really great! I had the chicken combo: it had a wonderful combination of ingredients and flavors plus the rice was the best I've had in years. The chicken was best quality and cooked just right, even the fries were wonderful. I'm usually disappointed in food I get ordering out, but everything on the plate was outstanding. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. I hope I get another chance to get their food.

Best falafel in Oregon!! New go to spot. And the staff was so friendly and kind. Parked in a beautiful spot next to a clean park. All around good vibes

By far the BEST food on the Portland State campus and in my opinion downtown Portland! The food is always fresh and the service is top notch! I'm always treated so well here! Highly recommend!

Wow! I purchased a Vegan Sheesh Shawarma falafel wrap last night from Fysol (spelling?) at the Pearl District 13th Avenue First Thursday steeet fair and, yes, the best I ever ate! Fysol has amazing customer service skills and warm smile and brings you into his spell of amazing service. I walked away after the great interaction and forgot to pay and immediately went back and paid. I also met Ahmed, another great warm smile and he offered me this amazing soda! Another WoW! I will try to go by their restaurant tonight to try another Vegan item. If you want amazing meal, make your way to Sheesh Shawarma today! Enjoy the amazing service and food!

I genuinely could not believe how good this was. All the flavors were perfect, and the service was top-notch. Perfect location if you're a PSU student. I'll probably be coming here again and again.

Went here for a late dinner around 11pm. The man working was very nice and the the service was quick. Food was great! Will definitely be back

Absolutely delicious! We got the hummus and the chicken plate. The chicken was nice and juicy and fresh. The rice was cooked perfectly and the sauce and pickles were both very tasty. The hummus was creamy and he waited for me to arrive to make sure the bread was freshly warmed for my pickup. He was so kind and thoughtful! I can't wait to come back

Sheeh Shawarma bringing an authentic Middle Eastern dining experience to the streets... The food is simply amazing and best in town. The star of the menu, as the name suggests, is their shawarma. The perfectly spiced, slow-roasted meat--whether you choose chicken, or beef --is tender and juicy, encased in a warm, served in amazing thin toasted bread. The cart also offers an amazing vegetarian options such as crispy falafel, creamy hummus, and Sheesh fries. With fresh ingredients and home-made sauces, every dish bursts with flavor. Friendly, passionate staff provide quick and efficient service. Sheeh Shawarma isn't just a place to grab a quick bite; it's an experience that transports your taste buds to the heart of the Middle East.

This food was incredible! Was having a shit day at work and the chicken shawarma gave me the life to get through the work day. That's all you can ask for! Allen is such a kind human and keeps his truck clean and tidy! Go check this out for sure!! They are now offering some seriously mouth watering hummus!! Delish :)

Best chicken shawarma I have had in Portland by far. Faisal, Rami, and Mouhammed were also all kind, and provided quick and great customer service. I will definitely be back. Can't wait to try their other dishes. If you like hot sauce ask for shatta. Reminds me a little bit of sambal.

The two gentlemen running the truck were very polite and had great customer service that paired perfectly with the delicious beef shawarma! This was my first food truck and a great first choice! The location is perfect if you're looking for a quiet place without hoards of people around. The campus is a perfect place to enjoy your food choice from this truck! A must try

Incredible food and excellent service. Love the beef shawarma and shawarma fries. the beef was so well seasoned, juicy and tender, it blended with the hummus and veggies so well, the fries were seasoned with a bit of sumac I think which was delicious and every single fry stayed crispy and was cooked to perfection. I wish they had some vegetarian options though so I could go with the whole family! Oh also I would recommend the sinalco it's just like a lime jarritos.

Portland has tons of Shawarma and Gyro food trucks and places. This one is HANDS DOWN the most authentic and delicious shawarma I've had since my visit to the Middle East! The spices are chefs kiss. My husband and I get their chicken combo regularly!

Sheesh is such a benefit to the PSU community. They are so kind, and the food is so good! I particularly like their chicken (not a beef guy in general), and the fact that they're open so late is great for students. The tea there is actually one of the best teas I've had. They also give a lot to the students on campus and it warms my heart.

ordered some fries which took only 5 mins to come out! very nice potato texture (fluffy), well seasoned, and was given some of their sauce which was garlicky and creamy. it was a filling medium-sized portion of fries and had a similar concept to "five guys" where there were additional fries in the bag, overflowing the cup which was a nice surprise. really sweet energetic people :)

Sheesh catered our event and the food and service were amazing! We will definitely work with them again.

Amazing food and great staff gave out free tea cause there awesome thank you thank you :)

The chicken shawarma is sooo tasty! I like to get it spicy :) if you ask the owner will make your shawarmas spicy for you :D
