50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Tigard

“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.“

“I placed an order through uber eats and received the order with some items missing. I called them and they sent me the missing items with some complementary items as well. Food was delicious and fresh, not overly spiced and sauced. Would recommend them.“

“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.“

“The food and flavors at Dolly Olive were so unique in a good way. Items are served family style and meant to be shared with the recommendation of 2 dishes per person which seems about right. We left feeling satisfied and full but not overstuffed.

We ordered everything at the same time, and the kitchen delivered the dishes at appropriate times. We were served the warm, marinated olives and Dolly Caesar Salad at the same time, and both were very delicious. The Caesar salad has some twists to the traditional Caesar that worked well and was not heavy at all. Next up were the mushroom ravioli with a lemon sauce that was divine, and raviolis that had a great balance of pasta to mushroom filling. Our 4th dish was the eggplant parmigiana, and it may be the best version of this dish we’ve ever had. We were trying to figure out how they got the flavors so deep and smoky from the cheese to the eggplant and the marinara sauce. Our last savory dish was the crispy chicken confit which was bursting with such different textures and flavors that one wouldn’t think would go together, but they do.

After looking at the dessert menu, we decided to split the cannoli which was plentiful for 2 people. Similar to the salad, it wasn’t a traditional cannoli. The shell seemed more of an Asian eggroll shell, and we couldn’t figure out the underlying flavor in the chocolate filling. When we got a bit of the shell, filling, and caramel topping in one bite — oh my how good.

The service was very attentive as we had a main server, but it seems the entire front of the house staff ensures efficient (but not rushed) service. Our food was delivered by 4 different people other than our main server, and we had a 4th person clean our table after our ‘mains’ and before dessert. Everyone seemed focused on ensuring we had a great experience and enjoyed every bite.

Our bill came to $125 before tip which we thought was reasonable and a good value.“

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

“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!“

“Sincerely impressed, I will recommend to anyone visiting“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Really good food. I ordered delivery and got a deluxe wrap with grilled chicken and the curly garlic fries and liked the food so much that I got a little obsessed and ordered again the very next night 🫣 Just really wanted to try the lamb after how good the chicken wrap was, and the lamb was even better! Extremely moist and tender while still having great char, and overall really flavorful. These guys obviously care about making good food and it shows. Thank you for a couple delicious meals! I’ll be back!“

“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.“

“Such a lovely neighborhood spot! We enjoy the food and our favorites are the menemen (warm egg and tomato dish that is so satisfying to eat with bread!) and the chef’s special (I forget the name of the dish but it’s beef on a bed of puréed charred eggplant with a delicious red sauce served with bread). The tantuni is not my favorite but perhaps it’s because I’m not very familiar with Turkish food- it seems like a classic Turkish dish, so I’d recommend just trying it if you haven’t before. We also tried the chicken fettuccine and beef carbonara and both are great and satisfying. Always love the Turkish tea in the cute glass tea cups. The people who own the restaurant are so kind and the service is warm and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and casual. Very family-friendly. It’s just a wonderful little spot that we are so grateful is in our neighborhood and owned by very nice people we’re happy to support!“

“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. 😋“

“I swear some of the meals here compete with the best restaurants in Portland! The difference is that it is cheap casual restaurants prices! They serve you a lot of food with every order and it's all really good. In this picture I got the special they have right now, chicken schnitzel and it was 🔥. This is seriously the best hidden gem in Portland, though the environment is just super casual, corporate lunch type. But don't miss out on great food and good service“

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

“Other than the lights were a little too bright, the atmosphere and decorating was lovely. Food was good all arou d. Next time we will focus more on the uniquely iraqi food.
Super terrific staff, warm and friendly. No attitude, cheerful and engaging.“

“One of the best Mediterranean style restaurants in Portland. It is not strictly traditional as there are Mexican influences, especially with their lamb/pork sausage being pastor adjacent. We love to get the lamb and pork plate, or the seafood platter. It is such a good deal and the seafood is cooked excellently and the squid ink rice is great. I love that they have octopus and it's really deliciously charred while still being tender. Their pita is also fantastic and it's precut into easy to dip triangles. The hummus is great and perfectly complements the pita.“

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

“Amazing service and delicious food!“

“I Love this Place ❤❤❤❤ . love to go again and again .“

“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!“

“Awafi is a great place to get freshly made and delicious Mediterranean / Middle Eastern cuisine on the street in downtown. Menu has lots of choices. Usually I order a falafel wrap and every time it tastes so fresh that it’s a real pleasure to eat. Owner is a great guy and runs a wonderful food cart. Try it … you will be glad that you did!“

“The best beef shawarma I've ever had. Better than ones I've gotten in major cities like Lima, Buenos Aires, Rio or Mexico City. Definitely give this place a try. Prices are decent also. Really appreciated everything was rounded up a whole dollar. Made paying in cash easier“

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

“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.“

“I have been going for years now… their food is always quality. They work hard! I highly recommend!! Don’t forget to try one of their homemade deserts to!! 🥰“
