The food is great and the baklava is something I dream about. Adam rocks and is always super personable. I can't imagine anyone saying anything negative about this spot. read more

Excellent!!! Definitely stop in and support a small business! The shawarma sandwiches are LARGE and can easily be split in two for sharing. Hummus was great and a huge portion. Be ready to bring some home or share with many! The maamoul desserts look beautiful. We ordered one that I did not try but was told it was delicious! Gracious owner. Although not much seating, it's more of a grab and go sort of place. Would be back in a heartbeat if we're in the area! read more

Highly recommend!! :) read more

I picked up lunch here today, falafel wrap and fries. Adam's kind and personable customer service, and homemade ingredients have made this a new household favorite. P.S. I would've posted food pics, but it was eaten too quickly -- will be coming back soon . read more

The chicken shawarma always hits the spot and I even look forward to eating the leftovers- which I always have because the portion is so generous. Adam is seriously the King of (spicy chicken) Shawarma. Easily top 3 in Beaverton and I've eaten a lot of spicy chicken shawarma in Beaverton... read more

Adam is actually the king desserts but you wouldn't know it unless you go inside. The shawarma is good but he has a case of assorted Persian date pastries that are baked fresh and SHINE. Highly recommend. read more

This is an exceptionally good place to eat! The food is fresh and well seasoned, and the prices are very affordable. It's just a couple doors down from McMenamins on SW Allen and SW Murray. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who likes good food. read more

came here on lunch from work and what a nice gentleman running the spot. he was half closed down getting ready for construction at the end of the month. gave me twice the amount of food for half price. it wad ready quickly but still deliciou. making this my spot while working this job for sure!!! read more

Very yummy maamool cookies! The owner, Adam, is very nice. Fresh food, great customer service, highly recommend.

They have great food and dessert, and the people working there are warm and welcoming.

Just had their chicken wrap and my husband had the lamb wrap. The pictures online show the wraps with pickled turnips but unfortunately they just had tomato and lettuce. The chicken was lacking flavor so I was disappointed with my wrap. I probably won't come here again. My husband seemed happy with his lamb wrap so I took a bite and also thought the lamb was flavorless. Leaving 3 stars because my husband said it was 3.5 and I think it's a 2. read more

Shawarma is amazing and the owner is always welcoming and enthusiastic. There falafel was fresh and delicious.

Very bad experience. I don't think this is authentic Lebanese cuisine. I wish them luck if fixing their bad quality and customer service.

Great portion sizes and friendly service! We got Food for takeout. The beef shawarma plate was our favorite and we can't wait to go back and try some other items. read more

Busy shop with a dazzling array of baked Lebanese cookies and sweets. The gentleman I interacted with was warm, funny and kind. I ordered 2 chicken shwarma wraps to go. He was right. His garlic sauce is delicious. read more

The food here is amazing! My husband and I popped in for lunch. I had the falafel wrap. The falafel was done really well. At other places it is rock hard and cold. This was delicious! My husband had the lamb gyro wrap and he was very impressed. He is really picky about lamb and he said it tasted great. The portions are really generous so the value is good. Don't leave without checking out the homemade desserts, too! read more

This has got to be the very best Middle Eastern restaurant we've been to in the Metro Portland Area. All of the food was authentic, flavorful and fresh. We had a Chicken Shawarma meal along with a Vegetarian Meza Plate as well as Baklavah to go and everything was amazing. Having lived in Israel, I found the owner to be warm and courteous and strongly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was all so great. I had the veggie shawarma and garlic fries. Also had a cookie. Heaven. I will be back to eat everything on the menu read more

Good food and pastries! Maamool is very good - you can definitely taste the filling ! Perfect with their Turkish coffee . The owner is very kind and generous! He gave us free coffee because he couldn't let my husband not to have one to enjoy with his pastries. He also gave us free maamool. Twice the happiness ! The owner is a gem! will definitely return to this place read more

Great food and super nice people! I had the Chicken Shawarma meal, and should but couldn't stop eating halfway through the meal. :-) Really liked the hummus as well. Excited to go back and try more entrées but also the deserts and pastries (although I shouldn't do that either)! Ultimately, I like the place because of the people who work there. They took the time to walk me through the many options and explained what and how they make things. Loved it! read more

some of the most delicious gyros ive had. he uses tons fo seasoning, the gyros are huge, and he pours his heart into every order. the cookies are delicious, and its just a wonderful small business. obviously the orders can take a bit of time due to making them to order, but id say it's definitely worth it read more

The owner is so kind and friendly, we were greeted immediately! Everything is made in house fresh. The assortment of baklava is awesome and they have homemade mamool cookies! You will not be disappointed! read more

The owner is very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. I had the beef shawarma wrap and it was really juicy, great spices, and the garlic sauce was really amazing. Definitely will be back! read more

This is by far the best Middle Eastern restaurant I've ever been. The dishes are very authentic and the desserts are delicious and addictive. The customer service is amazing! read more

Excellent service and very tasty gyro meal and desserts! We appreciated the service by the owner to go the extra effort at every step. Will definitely be returning! read more

This restaurant at Murray Crossing on the corner of Murray and Allen is a gem! The food is all excellent, and Adam is so helpful when choosing what to get. He is happy to make alterations to fit your needs/likes/dislikes. The chicken kabob comes with hummus, tabbouli, and basmati rice--all are excellent! And don't forget the out-of-this-world delicacies in the dessert section: Several kinds of Baklava, and Maamool cookies. Everything is made with fresh ingredients and love. You must try it! We'll definitely be back! read more

Best baba ganoush ever. The owner is so kind and helpful. The chicken wings are amazing as well. Definitely worth a try.

Great food, generous portions. Gyro sauce is garlic-heavy, but I like garlic, so it fit my tastes perfectly. The owner is kind and attentive. The fresh baked cookies look wonderful, so I will give those a try on my next visit. read more

We tried a lot of items from their menu since it was our first time there. Everything was good but specifically: From the food menu - the hummus plate was generous and was delicious. The stuffed grape leaves were super flavorful (one of my favorites). I also got a chicken wrap that was really tasty with the pickled turnips. Most of the plates we got came with these pickled turnips that I couldn't get enough of. From the bakery - we got an assortment of cookies which were very nice. We liked the date filled and sesame cookies...they are not super-sweet but they have a great texture. Our favorite of all the desserts was this sort of coconut "cake"..it had a very different texture from a typical American sponge cake, but we loved it. read more

We are so happy we stopped here after dinner to try some Turkish coffee and desserts. Abu Adam is so very congenial and welcoming! The coffee was delicious, as was the baklava and cookies. We can't wait to go back to try the shawarma! Thank you read more

Absolutely the best baklava we have tried!! The owner is wonderful, his excellent customer service is second to none. The food is delicious, our whole family loved the desserts. Highly recommend, we will definitely order again! Thank you so much!! read more

It's okay, I guess, but there is a lot less flavor than one normally expects from Lebanese cooking. Pretty sure that the normal way of making hummus does involve some spices beyond whatever they sprinkle on top, and does not involve about 1/4" of olive oil floating atop the surface. You can't tip the container lest the oil spill all over the place, which is difficult during take-out. To their credit, staff try their best to counter that. The tahini is all right; baklawa all right. I think they buy their pitas from a distributor; nothing special. As far as being King of Shawarma, maybe Baron or Count, but not the king. I like the way it was all crumbled up, but flavorwise it was missing something. That's the overall issue here, flavorwise missing something. If you want to introduce someone to Middle Eastern, and it's someone who dislikes strong flavors and prefers it very bland, this is definitely your place. read more

The best shawarma ever. Was there twice per day, lol. The shawarma was so delicious. The best and super fresh baklava.

went there two days ago, customer service is so good and kunafa was delicious will definitely come back

This used to be one of the best carts downtown, it is nice to see them back!! Pretty much everything is good, and the homemade garlic sauce goes great on everything. read more

By far one of my most favorite spots! The falafel wrap is SO good, the portions are big (you really get what you pay for) and he was more than happy to accommodate my lactose intolerance. read more

This goes into my book as overpriced and inauthentic. Who puts French Fries into a gyro and leaves out the fresh mint, dill and cucumbers? And even worse, I saw them put the "gyro" into a sandwich maker pressing it down repeatedly -- ugh, now the lettuce got very cooked! And yes, I was expecting a wrap with a pita not what appeared to be a flour tortilla. That adds up to some strange ethnic combo of American, Mexican and Lebanese (if you count the pieces of lamb). I've eaten a lot of gyros in my day some of the best coming from Vancouver, Canada and the Bay area. I won't be going back. read more

The wraps are messy and dripping wet soggy. Way too much flavorless watery hummus and the chicken was grey. The baklava is super expensive for one piece and if you buy by the pound it's even more expensive. read more

So good. He treats each customer as a VIP. He is cheerful and accommodating. Best of all I live near by and have enjoyed everything I have ordered! The space is very clean too. read more

Delicious food & dessert!! Wonderful service!!! The owner was very sweet & kind! We will definitely be back!!!
