Excellent food and service! Small place, but the Egyptian decor was nice. I lived in Saudi Arabia when I was young and really miss the food, so I’m always on the lookout for a place to get my hummus fix. This place has been one of the best I’ve have in the States, definitely the best I’ve had in Oregon. We had a nice chat with the owners about where we all had lived, and how much has changed since I was last out that way. I will definitely be going back frequently!

SO good! This place just has that warm and cozy feeling when you enter, as if you’re being treated to a home cooked meal. We started with Iraqi tea and baklava- delicious and served in the most BEAUTIFUL Egyptian tea set. Ended with the meat and shawarma plates.
Meats were tender and each had different flavors. I’m a beef gal but I have to say, the chicken kabob was the star of the show for me.
Motaz was kind and attentive and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to come back for the lamb.

Small, local, family style Mediterranean restaurant. Only about 30 or so seats available. We were seated at a smaller table at first, but they changed us to a bigger booth when it became available ♥️ The food took a bit to come but it was worth the wait. Loved everything on the appetizer platter. My Beef kabob and chicken shawarma plate was flavorful and HUGE!! (Enough to bring home and savor it again ♥️) Definitely will go back to try other things on the menu.

Some of the best hummus you can find in Oregon. This place is in downtown Beaverton. It has freshly made flat bread. Perfectly cooked kabobs and great shawarma.

Food is amazing! Really enjoyed the Beef and Chicken Mix Plate. Owner told me to try something new and it definitely paid off. I think it’d be hard to go wrong here. Get a Vimto drink too lol. Never had it before, but it went perfect with everything.

I enjoyed the food alot. I ordered the lamb and it was very good, cooked really well and melted perfectly. However it had almonds on them. I’m allergic to almands, at first I thought they were peanuts until asking. It did not say on the menu that that dish had nuts or in the picture. They told me that the manus were not fully up to date because the company that did it messed them up (there are also several spelling mistakes). The owner seemed really nice and friendly and I still had a good night because I had Benadryl on me.
But I hope that they can get better menus soon because that is an issue. The food overall was still great despite that.

I knew this place would be wonderful as soon as I walked in. We ordered the lamb shoulder and a few other dishes to go, and the lamb is unbelievably good. Everyone was happy and we have plenty of leftovers. Can’t recommend this place enough.

I had the caramelized lamb shank and the best baklava I’ve ever tasted. The owner and his wife were kind and welcoming — they truly made the experience. I’ll be back every time I’m in Portland. Highly recommend!

Came here late one night in Portland. Blown away by the service — we were promptly seated, given a full overview of the menu, and ever personal recommendations from the chef himself. He made it very clear that we ought to explore the Egyptian-Iraqi cuisine his family was sharing with Portland, so he insisted we get Moussaka, a lamb plate, and kabob plate.
We were served in no less than 15 minutes and were blown away by the freshness and attention to detail. The lamb was fall off the bone tender, the Moussaka paired incredibly well with the fresh bread, and the Iraqi tea reminded me of many fond times in CA. 100% recommend if you’re in Portland.
