Turkish cuisine — Restaurant in Forest Grove

Bottom line: HARD pass - inauthentic, dried out, and begging for a health and safety inspection.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've chosen not to eat a purchased meal. Tonight added to that count. We were excited to try this place after finding it. We ordered baba ganoush, tri meat over basmati rice, cheese pie, and baklava. The only remarkable thing about the baba was that it was clearly off, fermented. The accompanying pita bread was definitely whatever store brand was closest to cash register. The cheese pie was actually comical - it was just one of the cheap, dry "pita breads" with some melted cheddar/four cheese blend on top - half cold, rubbery, dried out, and DEFINITELY not what a cheese pie is meant to be (or even close to what is pictured on their menu board). The meat and rice dish...well...again, everything was try, and tasted of the frozen food aisle. The tzatziki, like the baba, had definitely gone off, again with a distinctly fermented tinge, which really brings into question this cart's food safety processes - we gave up after sampling each item and finding two dips that tasted spoiled. The ONLY redeeming features were that the baklava wasn't terrible, though again seemed store bought, and the guy working the cart was friendly.

Don't bother, plenty of better options in...

Turkish Cuisine... well what can I say other than stay away.

I've tried the falafel about every way it's served. At first they got my order completely wrong not really sure what I got, then I tried again yep wrong again but at least we were there and I could have them correct it. My food arrived after everyone else was finishing up. This last visit was just flat out BAD.

Falafel on Iraqi Bread, the best part was the bread. The falafel is nothing but ground up garbanzo beans, no other spices or herbs that I could see or taste, lightly fried, I mean just barely. Mixed together with soggy barely cooked frozen fries. Drizzled with a garlic sauce. It was just too much yuck...

My first 2 visits here would have caused me to give 4 stars! My 3 rd and recent purchases were as bad as the first ones were good.The cart appeared to be open but was not attended, Several customers came and went. As i waited for snacks at the cart next to them, the attendant showed up. He had been in his car with the AC on and I think asleep.The food he prepared was awlful. the gyro,$11, did not have sauce and a tiny bit of veggies. The chicken n rice was overcooked and hard...dry.(($15) $26 that we fed to our chickens and dogs. I was so excited to see this cart in my area , but I dont plan...
