GRILL ON THE GO PDX — Restaurant in Portland

The owners were friendly and welcoming. I got the vegetarian mezza platter, and they were able to accommodate switching out the baba ganoush & dolma since i dont eat those. The hummus tasted not just fresh but also good, along with the falafel, and the tahin had some kick to it. They even had the traditional pickle slices that im not seeing with other middle eastern places around here. The only thing that I didnt like was that they put feta cheese on their fatoush salad... People shouldnt have to check the menu ingredients to see if the chef ads a gamechanger to the plate, thats common knowledge, and in the picture it's just 1 big clump of feta. Once you put cheese on a fatoush salad, it is no longer fatoush salad. I didnt order the greek salad, and i didnt order a feta salad. Feta cheese has a very sharp taste, and people either love it or hate it. I dont love it...and It completely changed the salad, like i couldnt even eat around the cheese. The prices were good, and was ready when I got there in like 7 minutes. I would definitely give them my business again, but I won't get their greek salad that they advertise as fatoush. If they make the fatoush salad with the correct ingredients, and not greek-ify it, id update my star count to 5. Why don't I just open an Indian restaurant and sell French cuisine out of there? What could go wrong? We share some of the same dishes I agree about that, but you guys just go overboard with your feta. Im glad, it was just limited to...

A very nice discovery! The chicken shwarma in a pita was very tasty, as was the beef shwarma. The meats were marinated and wonderfully suffused with middle-eastern spices. The chicken was perfect, but we'd have preferred it if they would have used a better grade of beef. We also had a perfect mideast salad, drenched in lemon juice. The fries were large and cooked just right, and they came with a garlic aioli sauce, which was the perfect foil. We'd also had an order of baba ganoush, but were too full to eat it. Back home with us it went!

The only other negatives were that the stuffed grape leaves were canned, and the otherwise delicious, not-too-sweet baklava was, well, dense, and also probably commercially baked.

The young cooks running the operation were polite and friendly, and we'd have no problem whatsoever returning again and again.

So I like Medditerranean foods—all kinds. Portland has a lot of wonderful options, but I pass over a lot of spots to get my Grill on the Go fix. Fast, friendly, amazing flavors and service with a smile. I’ve never had food that was dry, or underprepared from them, literally always as good as it gets every time. It’s a cost friendly place and if you want to eat your gyro or shawarma authenticly with garlic sauce, yogurt incredible spices that come together so well, come here. Or just want a before workout hummas—maybe the best tasting recipe I’ve had—and salad, check this place out. Get the baklava too, it is homemade and wonderful. More...
