Downtown roots · New chapter

Part of Portland’s cart story.

Small Pharaoh’s has been part of Portland’s food-cart scene for more than a decade, serving Egyptian and New York–style street food with the generous plates and bold sauces people remember.

Today, under new ownership, we’re carrying that name forward at Midtown Beer Garden on SW 5th & Harvey Milk—Portland’s oldest food-cart pod, refreshed for a new generation.

The idea remains simple: bold halal food, generous portions, and the kind of welcome that turns first-time visitors into regulars.
