ABBAS 1855 Northwest 23rd Place, Portland, OR 97210

"Unfortunately I will never eat here again. After placing my order I was told to return in 15 minutes to pick it up. I set my timer and returned (a few mins earlier actually) to be told by the same lady (owner I believe?) that someone had taken my order and I had to go into the bar (Chill N Fill) and find them to get my order back. I told her I didn’t feel comfortable doing this and she basically said I had no choice. So I walked through the many tables inside Chill N Fill and of course since Abbas is part of a food cart pod, there were many people with “to go” food cart bags. I didn’t see anyone with a fresh bag and honestly if I did, I didn’t really want to approach them and ask if they had the wrong order. I returned to Abbas and told the lady I couldn’t find anyone. She said she’d make my order again. The thing is that she had the other person’s order which included a mezze plate. Part of my order was a hummus plate and I was with a starving crowd so I asked if I could just have the leftover mezze in exchange for the hummus to start with. She said I had to pay $3 extra for it if I wanted it. Seriously? I had left a $5 + tip as well when I ordered. I said forget it I’ll just wait for the whole order to be remade. The food is actually delicious but given the other options and the lousy service, I’ll never eat there again."

"ABBAS had the best baklava I've tried in Portland, it wasn't dry and was very full of honey. The chicken shawarma plate was good and came with rice, hummus and some yogurt."

"Pretty good shawarma! There was a ton of chicken thigh (?) and it was a lot of food. For my tastes, it was a little too much chicken, but I’m not going to complain!! It was a really fresh as well."

"I've been wanting to try this place for a while . Finally, i was able to stop by yesterday, and I am happy I did! The service was excellent, and the food ( Chicken Shawarma) was on point! I highly recommend checking this place out !!"

"Forgot to take pics before we started eating because it smelled so dang good! We got three meals: chicken kebob plate, the falafel plate and the lamb shawarma wrap! All of them were so tasty! The rice is seasoned so nicely, the lamb was marinated and tender, the falafel crispy but still moist inside and the hummus and babaganoush were lovely! So happy they are in the neighborhood and will definitely be back to try more. Really really delicious and well priced!"
