50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Lake Oswego

“Wow - friendly staff, large portions, tasty tasty entrees❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️“

“Very good and fresh! We Weill definitely be back!“

“We sat at the bar and loved the atmosphere… service was superb (thank you Nick) and the food delicious“

“We ordered the fried chicken, summer salad, hummus with burnt beef tips and the corn ribs. Everything was unbelievably delicious. The summer salad in particular was refreshing and different. I can not recommend this place enough.“

“I came to Queen Mamas Kitchen sometime last week and had very high expectations and to say the least my expectations were succeeded. The Chicken Filet was my favorite but I also fancied the Fish Pompano and the Lemon mint juice. The desserts were astonishing my personal favorite was the Dubai chocolate Milkshake. The food was enough to make me write a review but the service and interior of the restaurant made sure it was gonna be a 5 star… Honestly if I could give a restaurant 10 stars this would be the one. Lastly the service, this restaurant is family owned and our waiter was named Sully and he made us feel like we were part of the family. He was patient, funny, and would give us recommendations if we asked for them. In conclusion Queen Mamas Kitchen is a MUST if you’re in Portland“

“Oh wow. I read reviews about this place online so we made a visit when we first arrived in Portland tonight. There was only seating at the bar and that was fine as it was last minute and this place was booked up. The service was great, the drinks just perfect and the food - excellent! My husband was skeptical at first but the more he ate, the happier he was! The heirloom tomato dish with one of the foccacias is a must! We combined the prawns with a tagliatelle- delicious. The cocktails were well crafted and tasty. We will be back!“

“Excellent food and service! A fun pre-Timbers match vibe and the place was hopping!“

“We love the food and wonderful owners!! ❤️“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Sincerely impressed, I will recommend to anyone visiting“

“I tired them on a hunt on door dash to try something new! so glad I did! I've had the doner wrap, fries, an pita strips w/ hummus! I absolutely LOVE everything. I'd recommend this place to anyone. I can only imagine how good it is ordering in. try it! you'll love it.“

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

“Best gyro in town! The lamb is so amazing. Brought a friend from out of town and she said it was the best she’s ever had. 😋“

“Hands down best shawarma wrap around. Guy and his son run the food cart and both are super nice and make the food good EVERY single time. I don’t go anywhere else at Cartside when I come to eat. Don’t get me wrong the other spots are good, but this spot is just top tier. Be sure to ask for the pomegranate molasses in your wrap, this is one of the few spots that has it and will add it for you. Always makes me smile when I get this food. A must try!“

“I can genuinely say this is one of my absolute favorite restaurants i’ve ever been too. Service is 10/10, Food is 10/10. Even on busy lunch rushes they are always very attentive to their customers. I will love this place till the day I die“

“Food was brilliant. Loved the hummus and everything. This is a tiny gem in the middle of Beaverton. What a treasure to find. Shukran.“

“Honestly one of the best gyros I've ever had. Good sauce balance, well seasoned beef and lamb, great portions and very filling. The seasoned fries won't blow your mind but they round out an excellent gyro. Will definitely be coming back for more!“

“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!! 😬“

“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!“

“Amazing service and delicious food!“

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

“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!“

“picked up some hummus today from the farmers market. best hummus ever!“

“Great good - nice staff - reasonable prices!“

“Delicious food, hearty portions and the owner and chef was delightful. It’s definitely worth the trip downtown.“

“My friend told me about Moonlight Grill and she knows her food, so I was intrigued. Very soon after, we went for dinner. I'm writing this review upon my second visit , 4 days later...lol...it was that good. The food is so yummy. Their warm hospitality and friendly attentive service makes the experience even better. I am grateful to have a new spot to enjoy. I'm a fan. 🤎“

“As with most Mediterranean food in Portland things sort of grade on a curve. Buy a Gyro, Shawarma, or Saj...pick a meat or two and try them with the different sauces or additions they offer and make a grade based on that. Is this the best Gyro, Shawarma, or Saj in Portland? No. It isn't even the best of the block they are on, however, they are still very excellent. Taste and bang for your buck makes this a great stop. Do not sleep on their falafel either.“

“These guys are great!! Love the food and great service!“

“Their lamb Shawarma seasoned with, I believe, cardamom and other things, was the most astonishingly delicious meat I've ever eaten in my life. And it's in a very nice part of town!“

“It was our first time at Gyro House SE Portland and we really loved it! The food was fresh, tasty, and the portions were big. What made our visit even more special is that we don’t speak English very well, but the staff were so kind and patient, helping us understand the menu and choose what to order. That was very important for us and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come back again — highly recommend this place!“

“Awesome falafel 🥙 Awesome rice Awesome salad 🥗 Very decent price 👍🏼“

“Best Gyros I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend. Quality ingredients, masterfully crafted! We make a point of stopping in every time we visit Portland!“

“This was my first visit to Shawarma Express Halal, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful with food selections. I’ll definitely be going back.“

“Houston native, visiting Portland for the second time. Last time we came, we passed by Awafi and didn’t get to try it! This time, we got to chat with Ali, who was very kind and shared that he runs the cart alone, and we finally got to try the kofta and chicken saj. Both were delicious and reflected Iraqi cuisine beautifully. We will be back!“

“Israeli style food, pizza,sandwiches, beverages, soup/side of rustic bread is always excellent!

“The BEST Baklava!!! So fresh and delicious!“

“I ordered a lamb gyro, and it was fantastic. The garlic sauce was delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and beautifully layered. Everyone in my group agreed that out of all the food that our group ordered from different food trucks, mine was the best.“

“Super tasty grub at good prices.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 best of the best“

“One of my favorites in Metro area since I moved here. Very professional and friendly people. I really do like their foods. Had a great experience ! They have delicious gyros (I love their lamb gyro). The tabouli is amazing as well! Also they have delicious Hummus that I love. If you want to try the Mediterranean food such as gyro , felafel, hummus, and other stuff, do not miss this place!“

“This was my first time in Portland and I had heard about the phenomenal food truck culture in the city. This one was my absolute favorite of them all!

Kafta house is a “Mom & Pop” owned food truck offering middle eastern/Mediterranean cuisine. The owners are very warm people and treat their customers like family who have come over for dinner.

I had the lamb gyros with fries. The lamb meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned tastefully, as were the fries. I’ve eaten many gyros in my life, but have to say this one was my favorite.

The cardamom chai was the perfect ending to a great meal. Thank you to the owners for the most memorable dining experience during my stay in Portland! I wish this food truck existed in the city where I live. I will stop by again if I come back to Portland.“

“Great food“

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

Ample seating at high top bar-style window seats, half table/ half booth and three round four top tables. I could get addidicted to this place!“
