Kafta house halal food — Restaurant in Portland

This was my first time in Portland and I had heard about the phenomenal food truck culture in the city. This one was my absolute favorite of them all!

Kafta house is a “Mom & Pop” owned food truck offering middle eastern/Mediterranean cuisine. The owners are very warm people and treat their customers like family who have come over for dinner.

I had the lamb gyros with fries. The lamb meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned tastefully, as were the fries. I’ve eaten many gyros in my life, but have to say this one was my favorite.

The cardamom chai was the perfect ending to a great meal. Thank you to the owners for the most memorable dining experience during my stay in Portland! I wish this food truck existed in the city where I live. I will stop by again if I come back...

Among the many street side vendors literally competing side by side, this is by far the best. It was a chance encounter and if nothing else, their free sample(lamb topped with ranch), was literally what made me try them. And I was blown away.

I tried many other vendors in the following weeks (I work in Downtown Portland) but none of them were even close, and tasted pathetic and undercooked. They take their time getting your order ready but I think that is an indication of their attention to detail and in getting the meat cook inside out.

Must try if you are a meat lover...

This is a wonderful place to eat halal food; by far the best place I’ve tried yet in USA. We had lamb and chicken gyro and both were fantastic. The food is fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. Great food, friendly owner and staff, and hygiene is held to the highest standards. My wife is allergic to sesame (which is a key ingredient in hummus and tahini), so I told the staff about that and they all stood there making sure we get our order allergen-free. Very nice people from the owner to the chef, to the young American guy working with them. I hope them...
