Turkish Restaurants near Vancouver, WA

“This new Turkish restaurant has a delicious menu, attentive service and immaculately clean dining room. We overbought in order to have leftovers. We started with Turkish tea served in the tulip shaped glasses. An appetizer of five cheese rolls, thin and accompanied by some tomato and cucumber was new to us. Yum. Next, the big Mixed grill of beef, chicken, wings, lamb, kofta and skewers of I think was a mix of beef and lamb. Lamb is not my choice but it was very tasty. Two bowls of seasoned rice came with this shared meal. We advised our server we would be taking most of this dinner home as leftovers. Two large take out boxes barely contained it all. Only disappointment was a lack of kunufe, a milky baked dessert. We substituted Sutlach, a rice pudding baked in earthenware, which we ate at the restaurant. Very authentic.They had a colorful dessert case including many layered cakes, Dubai chocolate squares, mango, tiramisu and raspberry mousses. If you have a craving for excellent Turkish food or what to try something new we hope to visit Dadash. We will return. We loved the menu.“

“So excited about this place! Went here for my birthday and it sits high among my favorite dining experiences ever. My wife, a Bosnian, found an article about chef Vedran Jordan and his new elevated-Balkan-food restaurant a few months before we went. Expectations were high going in and they were surpassed by miles. Initially we were confused about some of the menu items like calamari, which isn't traditionally a Balkan dish. So, I ordered it first and it immediately opened my eyes to Chef Jordan's vision of using Balkan flavors in an elevated way. Traditional dishes are flavored in non-traditional ways and vice-versa, like the pasulj (traditional white bean stew) with an amazing blend of spices that elevated it masterfully. The Vegeta chicken wings are incredible, again using a very traditional spice blend in a way that lifts the dish. Honestly every plate was something new and it blows my mind how well it all tied together. He respectfully captured the already-perfect ćevapi with lepina, onion and kajmak, he left the flavors of that plate in tact and simply presented it in tapas fashion. When paired with a rakija coctail, this meal took us back to the region in the most beautiful way. You can genuinely taste the love Chef Vedran has for his home country and its flavors, and we left the meal feeling that same longing and appreciation. Can't wait to go back!“

“We had a lovely meal here - the atmosphere & service were fantastic and the food was amazing. We had the moutanjana lamb stew and the lahmacun pide, along with a hummus appetizer and cocktails. The Constantinople mule with raki was bright and refreshing, really unique. Would definitely recommend this place!“

“Ordered the yogurt kebab and it was presented beautifully, and tasted even better than it looked. Service was top-notch, and I also loved the decor of the restaurant.

Ended the meal off with an amazing Kunefe that honestly rivaled some of the best Kunefe/Kunafa that I’ve had from Levantine establishments. Added bonus is that the entire menu was halal! (per the waiter)

Cannot recommend enough; a must-visit if you’re in Portland!“

“Auf unserem Road Trip haben wir natürlich auch einen Besuch beim PDX Dönerländ gemacht. Und wir können dies nur weiter empfehlen. Der Döner war super lecker und die Besitzer total freundlich und haben sich auch Zeit für einen Klönschnack mit uns genommen.“

“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!“
