Middle Eastern Restaurants in Portland, OR

“Fantastic food! Delicious!! I absolutely love the food here“

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

“Had the absolute tastiest falafel sandwich here today. Exceptional service and I really appreciated the kindness that emanated off the lady who took my order. It can sometimes be tricky to find falafel that isn’t a bit over-dry, but that was not the case at Cedo’s, where everything tasted perfect. Even the hot sauce was delicious! Superb lunch here today and I will return.“

“Excellent food at an excellent price. Generous servings“

“I’ve been coming to Shorba for two years now, and the kind couple that run it never disappoint.
I’m thankful to live a block away, for whenever my wife, or I, are too tired to cook.

Do yourself a favor, whenever you’re nearby, and try them out.
Bonus - they keep consistent hours of operation!“

“Delicious. Syrian/Lebanese - the flavors were smoother/softer than I’m used to. The pita was soft, closer to a fluffy flour tortilla, and the sandwiches we had that came in a pita were actually wrapped in a trifolded pita and pressed like a panini. The felafel were big and delicious. The baklava was in a orange blossom syrup and was perfect. The service was personable and on point. It’s on an active block of N Williams, so it’s a fun area to walk around before/after. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious neighborhood spot!!!“

“First-timers today. We ordered the Big Lamb Gyro, dolmas and french fries, and are very happy to recommend this place. Portions were large and the food was extremely fresh, but the thing that impressed me and raises Omar’s versions above other similar places was his seasoning. Subtle, not overpowering, but distinctive. Dolmas touched with just enough lemon, gyros well-balanced with tzatziki, hot sauce and some other flavors I couldn’t quite identify, subtle flavoring of the lamb. I was prepared for a pretty standard, ho-hum gyro, but this was much more. Worth a return trip.“

“The chairs were a little uncomfortable but we found that to be a staple in Portland. The food though was absolutely amazing and our server who seemed to also be a stakeholder was sweet and super helpful when handling our large party with multiple demands. We would definitely go back!“

“Very affordable, delicious food and great, friendly service! ❤️❤️😍😍“

“This is such a fun place! the owner and staff made my daughter and I feel very welcome, including her Med alert dog. Their food was tasty and the Bellydancing show was great fun and very entertaining. The place was packed but yet they managed to serve everyone with a big smile. Thank you Aladdin's Cafe. I will definitely be back.“

“Sincerely impressed, I will recommend to anyone visiting“

“I recently attended an event catered by Kabob and was delighted by the variety and quality of the dishes they provided. The choices I made were all vegetarian, but from the comments I over heard everyone enjoyed their non-vegetarian meals as much as I did my plant based one.“

“The food was excellent and made to perfection! The staff were very inviting and so friendly. They treated us like we were family. An extremely pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Food good [Original] Food good“

“Fresh savory dishes, meat and rice dishes, baklava, hummus, pita bread. and This is also an Arab grocery store.“

“We had our first meal in Oregon at Gyro Grill. What an amazing way to start our vacation! Food was cooked to order and so delicious. Gyro plate, chicken kebab pita w fries gyro burger and a bubble tea. Both the tzatziki and hummus seemed like they were made on the spot.“

“Absolute best customer service every time (and food!) I always see Michael (Mike) working here and he is the absolute BEST. Any place would be lucky to have him representing their company. He is always welcoming, cheerful, and informative. 10/10 I highly recommend this restaurant and especially this location. Love there vegan cookie selection, they have the best vegan snickerdoodles - Cailin“

“So wish I could share a photo of what we ordered. Unfortunately, we scarfed it down before we could take a picture😂 my husband, our 2 girls and I were in the area and popped in to grab some dinner before heading home. It was 10 minutes before closing, so we thought we would ask if they were still taking orders. The gentleman was so kind and insisted we order even though he had already cleaned the grills. We took our food to go and drove all the way back home(Ridgefield Wa about a 35 /40 min drive) we thought it would be “ooookay” since it had been sitting for a little bit. But let me tell you that was some of the most delicious Mediterranean food I’ve had since living here in Washington state!( going on 7 years! ) The food was so flavorful and the garlic dip was incredible! Even my two picky eaters couldn’t get enough. We normally would have no intention on returning since we live so far away. But I genuinely believe we will make the drive again when we have the craving!“

“I highly recommend Pita Giovanni, Gargantuan gyros overflowing with succulent lamb and a vibrant medley of veggies. Falafel were flavor-bombs, each bite a symphony of crispy exterior and tender heart.“

“We had a great time here! There were three of us and we enjoyed beers, a delicious vegetarian Ethiopian dinner, and the Ethiopian coffee at the end. The food was flavorful, the injera was fresh, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everything tasted authentic and we really appreciated the friendly service. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a great Ethiopian food experience in Portland!
The place is being remodeled and feels very welcoming.“

“Just dropped in for the first time. Got the lamb mezza platter. Amazing! The tabbouleh is wonderfully herbaceous, the falafel is produced in-house and fantastic! Every bite was a wonderful experience of flavor and texture! Full, and very, very, very satisfied. Can't wait for a return visit!“

“I came here with my friend last night and it was bomb. I had the chicken shawarma and it was heavenly, and a huge amount of food. Certainly get what you pay for. I definitely recommend this place and plan on going back to try the Portland burrito and some of the appetizers!“

“If you want to enjoy and eats great food in the town you need to try this place first, and I will recommend the Burger they made. it's #1!!!!“

“We pick up take out from here at least once a month. It is always fast and good quality with a large serving sizes. Their chicken shawarma and lamb gyros are my favorites among all the other gyro restaurants in the area. Staff was helpful for dietary restrictions. They have Arabic and Greek style pita bread, which both are good. It is in a strip mall so not much atmosphere but the food makes up for it. My kids really like the chicken shawarma and it is so easy for a quick dinner.“

“Don’t miss this yummy cart in the back corner! If you like a lot of sauces, this is your place. I got the lamb plate and it came with hummus, tzaziki and two other sauces. They have gluten free pita too. It was a lot of food too. And there’s some tables to eat at.

Dietary restrictions: GF pita“

“enjoy the gyros I have to eat here every time I come visit my son“

“Best gyros around hands down! And the home made salads and baklava are amazing!“
