Best Lebanese food around. Great service. Fair prices . Small location is charming and always busy. It is old and could use an update - just not to the food!
The bread and appetizers were very tasty! I tried salmon kabob bowl, replaced salad with rice and it was just perfect! Need to come here more often!
Anything you order here is fantastic. I recommend for first timers getting the mezza platters (meat, vegetarian , or vegan ) to sample things.
Order hummus with the bread . My favs include veggie mezza , lamb platter , and salmon kebabs .
Been coming here since '95. Def not the cheap hole in the wall secret it used to be. Pretty expensive but food is tops. Best lentil soup I've ever had! Great falafel . Tons of veg options !
Portions are huge. Plan on sharing! The mezzas are very filling.
Service was very nice. Our server Rene was good..he took off an item from our order when we didn't like it .. Food was good mostly .. Lebanese pizza was good .. Falafel tasted homemade and amazing
Veggie Mezza is awesome. It's a great way to try many things on the menu, and huge.
Arabian mezza is pretty unique...serving sizes are huge and filling...loved all their mezzas
Sooo delicious. Get the Stephens beef plate and the date drink. Portions are huge for both!
One of my favorite dinner spots in Portland, perhaps the world. Fresh baked pita the size of a sleeping bag!
Pita was great! Try the Meat Meza - a sampler.
just had lunch there, the bread is fantastic and the hummus amazing. I got the kafta kabab w/ rice have SO much leftover for lunch tomorrow
The food here is absolutely delicious! Lovely setting, the baklava here is from another planet
Everything on the menu is great. Under no circumstances order the Lebanese merlot . Get the baklava .
Highly recommended! Humus and rise are must no matter what kind of meat goes with it.
Love their Lamb Platter ! Don't forget to order the Humus .
Get the toum (with pita ) if you like garlic . It's a must-have and out of this world!! This place is simply amazing!!! I loved loved the food, ALL of it!
The toum is addictive... So amazing and fresh. I love the baba as well .
Meat mezza all the way. Hummus and felafel are amazing. Be ready to eat a lot.
Gregory Denton, chef of Ox, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Vegetarian mezze platter . Read more
Everything on the menu is awesome. Hummus is definitely a must. I also love the lamb platter .
Great hummus . Shwarma is not so awesome. Salad is heavy. Tons of food for the price
Gluten free pita ! And it's amazing!
Had the meat mezza . Flavors are good. Chicken pie was tasty. Lamb wasn't cooked well
Meat mezza plate is awesome! Amazing tzatziki !
While everything is good here, trust the menu and order the lentils and rice ! It sounds boring, but the description on the menu doesn't lie.
SO delicious! Make sure you save room for baklava and turkish coffee
The humus and the lentils soup are great
The mezza platters are the best!
Good food - big portions . Liked the pita bread + hummus . Saffron rice was too oily though.
Huge portions . Get falafel delight and Turkish coffee .
This place is waaaaay overrated. It's decent but nothing special. I don't get why people rave about it. Must be the giant bread gimmick. There is so much better middle eastern food in this town .
It's all about the mezza platters .
Delicious everything. Watch out for the dripping aircon on the way in and out.
Yumm!! The meat mezza was great :)
Everything is GOOD even the staff .
Lunch ! Good value paleo bowls.
U have to order the freekah !
Arabian Breeze mezza + tabouli = perfect
Try the veggies sandwich combo, it's enough food for two... big sandwich , hummus and pita , salad , chips , all delicious! Read more
The Turkish coffee & vegetarian mezzo platter are sublime.
Omg- so so so good!!! Try the toum.
No booze. Cramped space. Order take out and enjoy byob at home! Great food.
Amazing everything! Been going there for over 10 years!
Bread hot out of the brick oven
Indiana Jones was wrong, he should have looked for the Temple of TOUM.
Love LOVE Stephen's chicken platter . And the Hummus is the best in Portland!
They now accept atm cards but this location doesn't serve alcohol . I Recommend the lamb platter !
Probably the best hummus I've ever had.
Phenomenal food, not so great service. Totally worth it though. You won't find Mediterranean food like this anywhere else! - Lisa Elmer
Try the Dajaj over Rice. Also, their Red Lentil Soup is amazing! - Raymond Brigleb
So so damn good. Baba ganoush and falafel are fantastic, but the lamb shwarma is the real star here. - Hassan Shamim
This place is awesome. Great selection of knives, camping equipment, rain gear, and surplus military clothing. - Paul Lewandowski
The 300-level seat are high up, but they are also pretty cheap and still give you a great view of the court. - Caitlin Jarvis
