Absolutely delicious. Every single thing we had was great, but the Brussels sprouts were PHENOMENAL. Like... Best I've ever had at a restaurant.

Really loved our first visit! We've lived in Maine and never tried this place but will definitely return. We particularly liked the Muhammara appetizer, the fries, fried cauliflower and rhe chicken shawarma. Large portions and fast service.

Gotta say the FALAFEL was the BEST we've ever had! Moist and delicious - excellent seasonings. And the HUMMUS was just delightful (and we do know our hummus)! We will be back to try the FRIED KIBBEH!

Incredible vegan options! My new favorite place. I can’t believe it took me so long to try. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the food is some of the best I’ve had in Portland. I can’t wait to go back!

Came to you this place off season. I'm glad it wasn't busy, but completely surprised that it does not always have a line out the door.

Hummus is silky smooth. Falafel is like little nougats of joy. Everything is perfectly spiced.

This Lebbanese and Turkish food is a delight.

For mediterranean food, Lebanese and food just one of the best in downtown Portland. Or maybe it’s the only one in downtown Portland we had Bubba and we had a falafel bowl that was just exquisite so tasty. It’s great. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Portland to come and check this place out.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Hands down the best Mediterranean food in the entire area — maybe even the state. Every single bite tastes like it was made with love, tradition, and a grandma who absolutely does not play about her recipes.

The staff treats you like family, the portions are generous, and the flavors are so authentic. Truly one of my favorite places to eat. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out on a top-tier culinary experience.
Do yourself a favor and GO.

Cozy little bistro serving delicious meals. We shared the couscous salad and each had a shawarma. I loved that they used the pearled couscous instead of the fluffy. All the dishes were very bright and fresh tasting. Hoping to go back again soon to try their pizza.
