Small Pharaoh

The service was very friendly and the view of the river where we sat was so calming and the portion of food will definitely feed you at least twice! But most of all the food was PERFECT and was served hot and delicious! Y'all definitely need to try this place. You won't regret it!!

Great chicken gyro, Lamb was awesome never had it before today. Price per quantity 5/5 Price per quality 5/5 Overall 5/5 Service could be a little better as far as maybe how the customer is treated, felt like asking questions was making the guy annoyed...I get it's Portland. Picture doesn't do service I have a big hand

I used to love going to this place 4-5 years ago. I'd always get the Lamb Over Rice but the last 3-4 times I've ordered, the portions have shrank a lot. The meat barely covers the rice anymore, the hummus is about two Tspoons now, they used to include two stuffed grape leaves per order but it hasn't been included in my recent meals and the picked vegetables have been nonexistent. I only received some lettuce and half a slice of tomato. This used to be one of my favorite places to go but I would no longer recommend this food cart anymore.

My date at the time felt rather uncomfortable and it is due to the downgrading nature of downtown Portland and the many houseless people. The food was good but it's pointless coming down to Portland and feeling harassed. After we had finished our meal a lady asked for our leftovers and was yelling at me to grab the food from the trash. I felt bad about that. But again the food was good but you kind of have to be prepared to be asked for change, cigarettes etc while waiting there.

Price is awesome for the amount of food you get! Me and my gf went on a date spent $20 and had too much food. Pretty awesome in 2024. Great food very fair price and friendly help. They have pool, ping pong and other fun games too.

The owner is super nice and the food is great. Recommend it any day.

I don't even know how to put into words how amazing the food is here. This is by far the best gyro in Portland – probably in the entire Northwest. It's exploding with flavor, insanely delicious, and the portion size is excellent – they do not skimp. The price is VERY reasonable and the service is excellent and very friendly as well. The recent revamp into Midtown Beer Garden also turned this into a wonderful, cozy place to enjoy your food. Cannot recommend more highly.
