We ordered the Beef Kebab and the Chicken Dish – both were just jaw dropping and bursting with flavor. I didn’t know Mediterranean could taste this good.
Not only did the beef kebab have an incredible “sauce” on it – it was cooked to perfection. We were ordered a few because they were so good.
The Chicken Dish (forgetting the name) was …. Special. Again, cooked to absolute perfection. The Honey glaze coating was delicious.
We had some beers and a gin based cocktail. The cocktail was great and made with care.
The staff were super friendly and funny. They were prompt and the food came really quick. We’re gonna be coming back.
The evening of our dinner was lovely. Gary, the GM was incredibly friendly and helpful in getting us settled into the private event space. Our lead server, Camron, was knowledgeable and professional… the pacing of the meal was perfect and the food was outstanding. I was surprised by the salads, which restaurants too often treat as an afterthought. At Tusk, the salads were given full consideration and absolutely shined due to thoughtful pairings of differently flavored greens with unique house made dressings. Just yum.
This is not to say that the main proteins were at all outshone… the beef kafta skewers with crispy quinoa and the albacore tuna were delectable!
I’m happy to give a five star review on the strength of our experience this weekend and look forward to returning to explore the menu further 🙂
The food? Outstanding. The falafel stole the show—bright green inside from plenty of fresh parsley, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly flavorful. It instantly reminded me of the legendary falafel from Mamoun’s in New York, which is high praise.
If you’re in Portland and want a place where stellar drinks meet unforgettable Middle Eastern–inspired food, Tusk should be at the top of your list
Something I found bizarre was that the hummus does not come with any bread. You have to order it separately and of course pay extra. If you order the hummus ($12) alone you’re expected to eat it with your spoon.
Beware of the 20% forced gratuity!
A new trend in Portland a 20% service charge is automatically added as part of the bill instead of tip .
Greeted by extremely friendly staff and taken care of for the evening by Cameron, who was one of the best and coolest servers ive had in a long time.
We ordered about 10 different items off the menu, all of them insanely fresh and tasty.
The beef kafta skewer was mind blowing- if u order a bunch of items save this one for last.
Can’t wait to come back again. Thank you Cameron for helping to make ur date night as epic as it was!
