Great service, lovely welcome as we entered. Cozy, comfy and chill vibes. Food was served quickly, fresh and hot. Fish and chips were so good, crispy and not oily. Sauces are so delicious 😋 warm mezza platter was perfect for us. Cheesecake was my favorite and karak was perfect 👌 must visit when your in Portland. Fun board and card games to play.

This restaurant is one of the reasons why they say Portland is one of the best cities for food! Every aspect of the food was on point from the freshness, presentation, and ingredients!
The service was incredible was very attentive and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Highly recommend If you are from there are just visiting.

Delicious food and excellent service- we will be back!
The Mutabag and lamb stew were good, as well as the chicken kebab. The cheesecake was the standout of the dinner. Prices are very honest. Unfortunately we waited 45 minutes for the main dishes. Overall a good experience but not worth coming back.

I stopped at this Saudi Arabian restaurant in downtown Portland during a layover and ended up really impressed. I ordered the roasted chicken platter and the mezza platter, and both were excellent. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and really tender, and the mezza was fresh with great flavors.
What made the experience even better was the service. Naef was working while I was there, and he was genuinely one of the kindest and most hospitable people I’ve met at a restaurant. He checked in on me, explained a few dishes, and just made the whole visit feel welcoming.
Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality. I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in Portland.
Had a delightful solo dinner while traveling. Everything from the service, the food and the presentation was done with care and intention. The food was beyond delicious and the service so kind and prompt.
We had such a great experience at Queen Mama Kitchen. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and the restaurant itself is beautiful inside with a very cozy, inviting atmosphere. We ordered the lamb mandi and chicken roast, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The lamb was tender and full of flavor, and the chicken roast was perfectly cooked and so juicy. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Overall, a wonderful dining experience — amazing food, friendly service, and a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal. Definitely worth visiting!

This Middle Eastern restaurant is nicely done up and does give the right vibes with respect to the ambience.
We ordered the ChickenShawarma & Lamb Shank with Mandi rice. The food was taking a long time so the restaurant offered us a complimentary Mezze platter which was a nice gesture.
The Chicken Shawarma was good on taste but the chicken felt a bit dry. The dip & fries were nice. The Lamb Shank was well seasoned and the rice was very flavorful. Loved the pipes served with it. The Mezze platter was beautifully presented and everything tasted great!
We also had some mint lemonade which were well made and complimented the meal.
The Pistachio Cheesecake was one if the best ones I had had so far. Thats a mist try here!
The service was very good even if the food was a bit delayed.
I absolutely love Queen Mama’s Kitchen, surely is a taste of home! The food is fantastic, and the owners are incredibly generous and kind, making every visit feel special. The atmosphere is relaxing and has such a homey vibe, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. If you're in the area, don’t miss out on this lovely spot! Highly recommended!

Best experience, best food, best service, overall overwhelmingly positive experience. The lamb mandi is the best dish ive had in the U.S and the deserts are one of the best ive ever had.
