12 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Portland

“Unreal experience! Our bartender, Josiah helped us pick some amazing dishes. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is a must!
The food was absolutely delicious. They take reservations so I'd recommend doing it if you are a larger party (2 or more). We got the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy our dinner. With temps being at 70deg and being from Texas, that was a real treat. I ordered the lobster (of course) with an appetizer dish of half a dozen oysters. Both dishes were perfect!“

“Great tasting, healthy food. Lots of plant-based options and awesome service,“

“We ordered the gyro plate and the Shish and kabab combo and they were both unbelievably delicious. The meat was smokey and well seasoned and went so well with all the sides that came with it. The hummus and baba ghanoush were creamy and flavorful and we went back the next day and ordered a pound of chicken shawarma for a quick but yummy dinner!! Complementary pieces of baklava were so buttery and such a lovely way to end the meal. Can’t believe we waited so long to try their food!!! Placing our orders were quick and the food was ready for pickup in minutes.“

“I had one of the most exciting dinners that I’ve had in years. Recommended by friends, as it recently re-opened, I was fascinated with their online menu; and when I got there, had big decisions to make as to what to order. I could have ordered a dozen items on the menu. Our Server made very good recommendations. Every bite we had was filled with flavour. This restaurant describes itself as Mediterranean –while I would describe it as middle-eastern. It offers a concise wine list of well-selected wines. The service is co-ordinated, friendly and polished. I truly look forward to returning the next time I’m in the area.

Vegetarian options: mezze platter and several others.

Parking: paid parking til 6pm - free after, right in front of the restaurant.“

“some of the best falafel I've ever had, hands down!“

“We just had the best falafel wraps here, better than any we've had in the greater Portland area! Delicious and a great price! We'll be back for sure, and will try their homemade hummus, naan, and some of the dishes in the cooler on your way in.“

“I tried Jaffa for the first time today. It was absolutely delicious and my food was prepared very quickly. I did a takeout order. The staff I interacted with during my order pickup were friendly and efficient.“

“This restaurant has quickly become one of our top 3 faves, and you don’t have to deal with going to Portland!!! Everything we’ve had here is on another level of dining. The service is unlike anywhere else as well, and the ambiance is perfect. We give this place an easy 5 stars plus.“

“So, so, SO good! We’re from out of town but ALWAYS make a point to stop by Jaffa when we’re in South Portland. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. #drool“
