La Camel

As a bit of a foodie, from Cape Town to Tel Aviv to Istanbul. I love ME food. Usually this has meant a trip downtown to Habibi, or Shalom Ya'll. So glad I found this wonderful food cart in Sellwood. Karim is an excellent chef. My wife loves his lentil soup as comfort food when it's rainy, my go to is the savory stuffed Kafta Kebab pita (gyro style).

Had them cater a paella party, it was the best we ever had, from appetizers, salads to the different types of paella... vegan is as good as Mixta with Spanish Chorizo.... you pay Little more, they have a carver that comes on site with an amazing Spanish Ham, they have access to all of them.. We settled on the Serano, they don’t come cheap. But well worth it....especially with a talented carver from Spain... 100$ a person... you ll eat like Queen! Don’t cheap out on this, and tip the hard working guys... they do more than they are supposed to....it was 97 and yet didn’t stop till everyone was happy.... they are aware of everting and know what to do, they even spray cleaned area they cooked at and provided, everything... without asking.... very professional and know their stuff...

This is my go-to Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cart. Eating here is one of the simple joys of life -- high-quality street food enjoyed al fresca while people watching a lively corner of Sellwood. Today, my kefta and egg tagine sat on a bed of buttery gold rice, plump kalamata olives, and feta cheese. The expertly blended spiced kefta married well with the tangy tomato sauce, which we scooped with fluffy and warm pita. Cold Moroccan mint tea washed it all down. It's summer lunch perfection. Życie jest dobre.
