Eater: Though meat hitting the grill is the main focus, both veggies and seafood represent well in homey dishes like hominy stew and braised octopus. [Eater Member 38]
Sherry Li: Spicy tripe stew is a must have! Ribeye is perfect.
Ryan Durham: The lamb shoulder was some of the best Lamb I have ever had - cooked to perfection! And the veggies were great too!

B D: Located in an interesting neighborhood, they have tasty Iraqi food with lots of vegan options. We loved the falafel, chickpea stew plates, the beer and baklava! The ambience is very cool too
Landon: Everything vegan is top-notch. Cannot recommend it enough.
Thrillist: Go Dar and grab some beef shawarma that's been marinated in garlic yogurt sauce before being slow-cooked and shredded. Read more.

Amie F: Ropa vieja is soooooo good! Also so many good breakfast options
Lisa: The only indoor cuban restaurant I could find in Portland and it is AMAZING. After living in Miami and moving back to Portland, I needed a good place. The empanadas are to die for.
Ashley: They have a killer happy hour menu! And they have heaters above each table outside!! One of our new favorite places.

MLO: Best Lebanese food in PDX. Hand-rolled croissants made to order, fresh grilled pita, and an incredible shakshuka made this one of the best brunches in a long time. Kid friendly. No reservation needed
Kristin Wright: Absolutely the best Mid-east food in the Portland area. Fabulous hummus, baba ganoush, pita, kabobs...and dishes I've never seen anywhere else. I also heartily recommend the veggie mezza.
Marshall Kirkpatrick: We ate here once & disliked it, didnt come back for a year. Loved it ever since & wish I could get that year back.
