First off, they bring you a nice carafe of water which you drink out of a nice wine glass. I ordered the hummus which came with nice warm pita and was delicious. The hot pita was done just right. I also ordered the chicken kebab which comes on this interesting hanging skewer. Below the skewer is a bowl of saffron rice with tomato, cucumber and basil with a lemon slice and a garlic white sauce. Also, the skewer has in addition to the chicken, grilled onion and zucchini perfectly cooked. The owner was very friendly- he gave me some of his in-house made baklava- delicious! They do charge a 15% service charge instead of you giving a tip.

I'm married to a German. Döners are hard to come by in the U.S. when we saw a food truck here in…read morePDX metro, we had to try it. First time there, we ate every morsel. When we went back (last weekend), it was not as good. The bread was dry like it had been cut open and left on the counter all day. I get the chicken, and the hubs gets the beef & lamb mix. We are sad that the quality (which was ok level before but now is missing), it does not taste authentic and we won't be back unless desperate. The shared restrooms in that food truck lot are disgrossting, and inspired me to ride with a full bladder nearly an hour to get back to Beaverton rather than use their facilities. Parking is terrible.

The mixed plate I got had chicken and beef and the chicken by far was the best grilled chicken I've ever eaten! The sauce complimented it well and the rice was immaculate!

It's enough to feed two. They appear to get quite a bit of takeout orders, but luckily, every time we've come seating was ample. If I crave anything Mediterranean, this is one of the places in Beaverton I always consider. As clearly advertised, they are more Iranian Persian and I'm all for it. I've had similar Iraqi cuisine (also in Beaverton) and it's slightly different. How lucky are we to have these options here on the west side.

We thought we ordered so much and then we went back for more. One may find portion sizes are little for their price but their flavors are top-notch. I would say it's a great spot to get flavorful Mediterranean food. Though I wish they had more seating area. However, the food is extremely good and is worth it. If you haven't already, head there to try them and you wouldn't be disappointed.

Tried Nicholas Restaurant in Portland and went with the gyro and babaganoush…read more The gyro was really solid--tender, well-seasoned meat with that classic savory flavor, wrapped up with fresh toppings and sauce that tied it all together. The babaganoush was smooth, smoky, and super flavorful without being too heavy. Portions were generous and everything came out fresh.

I regret it because those are meals I could've been eating here. I crave this place. Like lying in bed at night thinking about their fluffy pita bread--crave it. Like trailing off mid-Zoom meeting because I'm thinking about their incredible meat plate. Like full-on daydreaming about that apricot liqueur. This place is truly incredible. It's humble in its decor, but it's a true mom-and-pop, family-run spot that runs like a dream. The service is always friendly and quick. The food is consistently high-quality, deeply delicious, and it has never once disappointed me. If you're thinking about trying it--stop driving. Just pull over.
