Great flat bread! Some of the best and freshest I’ve ever had. Food and sides are wonderful too. Mostly takeout. Two tables inside and one or 2 in parking lot.

Dina’s is my favorite spot for Mediterranean food in Portland. Had a vegetarian plate and it all tasted like Spring. Dina’s isn’t the fanciest place to dine in; best for a pick up and picnic across the street. They get 5 stars from me for their falafel, hummus and tzatziki.

The food is of good quality, and the owner or cashier is very kind with excellent customer service. There are a few tables inside and one picnic table outside. The weather was gorgeous, so we could sit outside and enjoy the food.

A foodie friend recommended - said the falafel was excellent. I went with minimal expectations (my nana was a fine Armenian cook - it’s been decades since I’ve had had anything to compare.) I didn’t expect the variety of home made dips, deserts and fare. Spent twice what I expected. Another very particular foodie friend came along and also highly recommends the falafel. I had a delicious beef kabob and all these dips. Recommend: bring a friend. Go big! Chef owner is friendly and happy to quickly explain all the choices and countries of origin.

The best falafel and hummus wrap you can get in greater Portland. They also have fresh hummus, tabouli, pita & more To Go options. Highly recommend for anyone looking for take out Mediterranean.

Food was fresh and received really good portions! It looked clean and I like being able to see the kitchen and chef making bread , nice people good experience.

We stopped in for a late lunch on a whim, and were blown away by how good everything was. We had samosa, spinach and cheese pie, a gyro, and Dina’s falafel. Everything was spectacularly spiced, and totally hit all the right notes.

I've tried a few wraps from this place, and the saji wrap stands out as a favorite. While they're not the best wraps I've ever had, they're definitely decent. I think the best ones have some type of sauce in it and these wraps are on the drier side.
The samosa, unfortunately, didn't quite match the online image. Instead of two pieces, I received a single, albeit large, samosa.
A major plus is the generous size of the wraps, especially considering the price. Also, order online if you want to get the discounted prices. The workers there don't seem to be aware of the price offered online. Overall, decent food, but don't expect a mind-blowing flavor experience.

I wish you were here trying this food with me. Food has me crying in tears because it's that good. Eggplant salad, lamb kofta and spinach soup, with the right spices and herbs 😭😋. I want to avoid other restaurants for a while now. Don't take my word for it. Go try it. And music playing somewhere had me all relax. Amen to this food.
Food was cold gave me the wrong order and they refused to remake me that order I have placed in person

I'm so sorry that I have to change my review. I gave them 5 stars when they first opened but my last trip there was awful. I called for take out, they were out of everything I wanted. I looked at the menu again and called back. The person who answered still couldn't understand my order so I went there. The manager was back, hadn't gotten my order at all and directed me to the Food freezer saying he would heat it up for me and add the other ingredients separately. When I requested something else, they said it wasn't on the menu. I showed him the online menu and he directed me to a QR code posted near the ceiling. ???? He didn't seem to care what i thought about Dina's , so I went to Mazzat and got great service. Honestly, I'm not a fussy customer. It was just so difficult to order, and odd not to get a hot meal in a carryout container, combined with the menu snafu and the manager's indifference, it was not a great experience. I'll give them another chance because they used to be so awesome, but that's it if it's more of the same.

We had the Dina Falafel wrap and the Beef Shawarma wrap. Both were delicious and filling. We also ordered samosa and fries but were so full we were unable to finish the sides despite them also being wonderful. The samosa had a perfect hint of cinnamon. As a vegetarian i was grateful of so many options and my wife was happy they didn't skimp out of her beef portioning. Staff(owner?) was very friendly and even apologized for the wait despite my walk-in order being prepared in under 8 minutes. We will definitely be back!
