27 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Happy Valley

“When I’m craving Mediterranean, it’s always an easy decision of where to go. The quality here is consistent and the portions are great value- which is hard to come by these days.
Sometimes it feels like restaurants don’t care about the food they’re serving you, or whether or not you’ll enjoy it- Not here.

The hardest part for me each time is deciding between beef or lamb, both extremely flavorful. All the more reason to make TokTok my go-to spot. Next time you’re at Happy Valley Station give it a try.“

“Best Mediterranean food around. BIG portions, you order from the owners, they really care with their hearts. Very tasty and full of flavor. Always lots of leftovers. thank you! Deb & Scott.“

“Sincerely impressed, I will recommend to anyone visiting“

“Had the original gyro with lamb. It was amazing. Good size portion. If I lived in Portland I’d eat here all the time. So good!

This place is part of a larger group of “food trucks” so you’ll find seating if you want to sit down instead of taking your food to go.“

“Turkish coffee was it for me. Friendly staff, good service and great food. I'll go there again and send other's to enjoy.“

“This smashburger is one of the better ones I've had in Portland. .. Shhh don't tell anybody. All the food carts here have pretty good food... Although... No one seemed to have a working milkshake machine.. but the Fire pit and Oregon City brewery with the canopy is a nice touch. This review was supposed to be for SmashBack burgers!! 😬“

“Amazingly delicious food! Pizza was unbelievably good and unique. Roman and his crew were so genuine and accommodating. The cheese pie was perfect for the kids and the jalepeno pineapple, mushroom sausage and even dessert pizza... All excellent. Will definitely be a new favorite on our list!“

“The best gyro I've ever eaten! I had the chicken, it was seasoned well and a little charred. The dolmas were perfect! The hummus was silky and delicious. The tzaziki was fresh and tangy. So good, you might do a little dance! Also, the price was absolutely worth the portion size. Honestly, wish I could eat this everyday! Chef kiss!“

“Such great food and service!! Very accommodating for large orders as well.“

“Old school vibes and amazing food. The owner is very nice and hospitable as well 🙏“

“We each had a combo plate, which were very large, we could have easily share one and gotten some appetizers. The bread was so good- it was as if foccassia and pita /or Naan bread had a baby. The link sausages and their special Chevapi had such great flavor. You can really taste the mix of regional cultures in the food. it made me look up more about the region because I had no idea of the flavorful influences. Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing! I ordered the lamb kabob plate but got chicken instead, I couldn’t get back before they closed the same day so I called and they offered to remake the entire plate for me another time. The chicken and lamb kabobs are both delicious.“

“Tusk is great. Especially for a nice date night. The food is exquisite and the service is AMAZING.“

“Five star dining experience. Excellent flavors, beautifully presented Pleasant atmosphere Friendly service The Chicken Creamy Pepper was fantastic.“

“Great food“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gyro Bistro, located in SE Portland's new WonderLove, featuring a three-story bar and food cart pod, is a true gem! From the moment you arrive, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly food cart staff set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.

The gyros are absolutely phenomenal, but don't miss out on the baba ghanoush and grape leaves – they are simply to die for! The baba ghanoush is creamy and flavorful, while the grape leaves are perfectly seasoned and tender.

The food is fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. With reasonable prices and top-notch service, Gyro Bistro is a must-visit.

Highly recommended for anyone strolling through SE Portland down the road from OMSI!“

“The last time my wife and I ordered from Gyro House, I wasn't even writing for Yelp yet, meaning I shamefully didn't give this place the incredible praise that it deserves. There is no shortage of Mediterranean food options in Portland, from restaurants to street carts, but this one stands out among most of the rest, for several reasons, all of which I was reminded this last weekend. Here's the short list:

* Easily the best babaghanooj I've had anywhere. No contest. There's an "edge" to it that is not easily described - spiced by not spicy. Trust me on this one.

* Non-awful falafels; these ones are actually soft and moist, and not the hard, dry kind you get elsewhere.

* Kafta kabobs that are grilled perfectly, giving it that rugged, savory char flavor.

* Flavorful tzatziki drizzled in correct proportion, without making everything soggy.

* Fantastically tart, mouth-tingling hummus that has you coming back for more, again and again!

In fact, the only point on which I would knock them is the sadly deficient number of included pita bread pieces: two is simply not enough for a two-person vegetarian mezza platter!

Out of all the tzatziki-slingers in the area, Gyro House is the best for a quick, grab-and-go Mediterranean meal that competes, and defeats, just about every other competitor. I could eat this five days in a row and not get tired of it...and I am sorely tempted to head back there again tonight! Lord help me!

Parking: Small attached lot.“

“Sirina, Thank you for the birthday gift certificate yesterday. All the food was delicious!!!!“

“So happy they back to the old mediterranean food with lots of more options basically they have all the kebabs and they have eggplant to ladder with perfect and they have the wraps also and Philly cheesesteak and more tabuli Salad was delicious
They have best lamb and chicken Shwarma“

“Nicholas’ did a fabulous job providing food for an event I am at. Everything was wonderful!“

“Great service and great food! I love the gyros and am a frequent customer. The staff is always friendly.“

“One of the best Lamb Gyros I’ve ever had! Went on a stormy Tuesday afternoon so there really wasn’t a wait, the guy was polite and my food came out very quickly. All the ingredients tasted super crisp and fresh, and it was Loaded with lamb (I actually took a piece out at the end but that’s my preference lol, definitely not a bad thing at all). My sister got a Chicken Gyro and it tasted just as good, the chicken wasn’t dry and was well seasoned. I look forward to going again next time I’m near the carts.“

“Excellent Shawarmas and Gyros, incredible fries if they're made fresh and crispy. Also, request extra garlic sauce (the white dipping sauce). It's absolutely amazing.

The guy who runs it appreciates cash more than credit/debit card, so please pay with cash if you're able to do so.

One of the best carts on this block!“

“First time here, the Chipotle tahini really appealed to this LA-raised Arab-American �“
