Nice little restaurant, clean and well laid out. I was greeted when I walked in, and found a table to sit at. Waitress brought water and I told her what I wanted. Gyro sandwich, and a side (app) of baba ganoush! Food was delivered quickly! Baba Ganoush first, with a small basket of wonderful, soft fluffy pitas! It was delicious! Pretty good sized order too... definitely shareable. Gyro sandwich was good, great flavor. A little less meat on it then I am accustomed to, but they do offer more meat if you want to add some, at an extra cost, of course. Good service, and good food.

this is my second time in & my partner's first. he got the original gyro, i got the usual (i think…read morethat's what it's called?) and we got a side of their current special, a lemon soup with chicken. i hadn't been here in a couple years but it's even better than i remembered. the lamb here is so tender and very well seasoned, and their hummus is genuinely the only kind i like - i stopped buying hummus from the store entirely after getting it here. there's a lot of food spots that will skimp on meat and toppings, but that is NOT patras gyros. phenomenal food, quick and kind staff, and to me, a hidden gem that i'm sure my partner & i will be regulars at. thank you patras gyros & staff!

We celebrated a birthday at Mediterranean Exploration Company with their set menu, and it was one…read moreof the best dining experiences we've had in Portland. We were able to try a wide variety of dishes, and every single one was exceptional. I have dietary restrictions (no onions or garlic), and the kitchen and staff were incredibly accommodating. They prepared separate versions of several dishes for me without hesitation, and I never felt like I was getting a lesser experience. It's rare to find a restaurant that can accommodate food sensitivities so thoughtfully while still delivering incredible flavor. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish, and the service was impeccable. The staff was warm, attentive, and made our birthday celebration feel special without ever being overbearing. Everyone in our group left talking about how amazing the food was. We couldn't have asked for a better meal or a better overall experience. Mediterranean Exploration Company has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorite Portland restaurants, and we can't wait to come back.

Stopped by for an early dinner bite around 5p on a weekday without reservation and were seated…read moreimmediately. We weren't too hungry and ordered 3 dishes to share - the hamachi crudo, baked feta with Blackberries, and braised Greek greens. The service was pretty fast, we received our food within 15 mins. The hamachi crudo was tasty with fresh fish that balanced well with the yummy smoked eggplant, tamarind soy, black harissa mayo, and crispy ginger. The baked feta was the heartiest dish, it came out with piping hot pitas to dip into the creamy savory/sweet feta and Blackberries. The braised Greek greens felt like the most basic dish out of the 3, collard greens cooked with a lemon/olive oil finish, which tasted as described but not exciting enough to order again. Just as the name implies, this restaurant is a nice way to try Mediterranean dishes for those who don't eat it often. Admittedly, the cuisine isn't in our top favorites, but all the dishes were executed well, true to their description, and made for some fun bites.

I ordered the lamb kebab (it was the staff's recommendation). Visually it looked fine, but the flavor was disappointing: the meat tasted bitter and overcooked, almost like it was burnt. I don't recommend getting that dish. Based on that experience, I can't recommend dining here.

What an incredible food journey today at Salam, a Lebanese gem that deserves every bit of praise…read more It all started with their flatbread--warm, soft, and almost like a delicious roti. We paired it with chicken and hummus, and wow--absolutely amazing. Then came the lamb shank, and it stole the show. Perfectly cooked, fall-off-the-bone tender, and the rice? Packed with flavor. A solid 10/10. We also tried the chicken seekh with saffron rice, which was nicely done. The ground lamb pizza wasn't my personal favorite--felt a bit too tomato-heavy--but my friends loved it, so it really depends on your palate. Now, the grand finale: Turkish coffee with a mixed dessert platter. And let me tell you--Knafa + Turkish coffee = pure heaven. I had a foodgasm. Truly one of those rare, unforgettable dessert experiences. The service was wonderful--I believe it was the owner who personally checked on us, gave thoughtful recommendations, and brought such a warm, positive vibe to the entire place. It really elevated the experience. The ambience is also on point--cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a meal with friends, family, or even a low-key date night. I'm recommending this place to everyone. It's a must-try. 100 out of 100.

There's a little something extra in the baklava that gives it a unique taste. Their tea is also delicious, but what makes it all even better is the hospitality, especially from the sister of the Falahi bros. The only drawback for me is that it's a little spendy. Otherwise I'd eat here much more frequently. Perfect for a nice treat though!

We've always talked about trying it, so it felt like the perfect birthday plan. The owner, Dennis, was incredibly kind--so genuine, grateful, and full of faith.

Thank you so much:)

First of all I want to start by saying that the Owner was super nice! I read wonderful reviews…read moreabout him and his wife who run the place, so I had to try it out for myself. I ordered the chicken Gyro and asked for cucumbers. Unfortunately, the chicken was not very tasty. I was hoping for charbroiled chunks of chicken breast, like "I Heart Gyro" does. Instead it was thin strips of seasoned chicken that were probably thawed out from the freezer. The Tzatziki sauce was very good though! Because I asked for extra sauce, it made the Iceberg lettuce soggy, as well as the thin slices of onions. By the time I picked off all the soggy pieces of Iceberg lettuce and thin slices of onions, I was left with just two slices of tomatoes and two slices of cucumber! Definitely not worth paying the extra dollar for two slices of cucumber! I paid almost $15 for this Gyro that lacked crisp veggies and they were stingy with the Feta cheese! Only a few crumbles. I feel very disappointed, because I read wonderful reviews about this place. Too bad, so sad! P.S.: If you want a delicious Chicken Gyro with marinated and grilled chunks of chicken breast, "I Heart Gyro" can't be beat!
