“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. 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“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. 🤎“

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

“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!“

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

“Best late night gyros. When we get done having a great time at the club on Saturday, we make sure we leave in time to hit up the gyros stand on 3rd and Stark. The first time we stumbled upon this food cart pod, we chose what we were going to eat solely based on how long the line was. And it was long. I'm not sure how much love is put into making the gyros, but they are damned good. A gyros and a small square of baklava are perfect for the 1:00 AM munchies. Try them, you won't regret it.“

“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.“

“It's tucked just behind burger King off of 99 in Tigard. Great people running it and delicious food! They can't put up much advertising they told me because Burger King won't allow it for some reason. I hope they're able to stay afloat and prosper bc it really is a terrific little spot for some great vibes and delicious Mediterranean food prepared fresh on the spot. You guys rock!“
