Third visit. Coming back from Portland, we detoured off I-5 to have dinner. We ordered the hummus (again) and it was the best we've ever had (still). This time we tried the Sheaf Tenderloin. Awesome flavor. Still very much five stars. Well worth the detour! read more

Khalo Naser - Sheaf Tenderloin - Middle Eastern Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Delicious food with lots of variety. The polo juice is one of my favorites. However, the service is horrifically slow. It seems they need to hire more staff- I saw all of the waiters working hard throughout the night, but I spent at least an hour of my visit just waiting on various things. There are also 4 giant TVs on the walls, all playing different videos, which I feel brings down the otherwise nice atmosphere. read more

Food is a 4/5 Service is a 1/5 The food is exactly what you would expect, delicious, light, and fresh tasting. Tried the lamb and chicken shawarma. Lamb felt under seasoned but that is the only complaint. Our server was dressed inappropriately, wherein skin tight leggings and a cropped shirt that said "baby mama". Very disturbing and very uncomfortable to be served by that. The restaurant was average busy during my early dinner around 4:30 maybe 4/5 tables. Appetizer came out with our drinks and not even 60 seconds later we had our entrees. Very poor pacing. Also the servers would constantly check their phones in the open behind the bar for some reason. Inside is very nice, I'm 6'5" so being seated at one of the middle tables did not leave me with enough leg room to sit comfortably. Also there are two TVs on opposite sides of the resturant so there is no escaping seeing TV in the background. Overall the taste of the food carries this restaurant and the front of the house really needs to improve. read more

Just a really good place. Not your average middle eastern fare. They go outside the usual fare and everything tastes fresh and excellent. Better than most middle eastern food I have had in Portland and Seattle. read more

This restaurant is located in the downtown area with street parking. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar because of the long wait for a table. I ordered the spring roll appetizer and felafel wrap. The spring rolls were nicely cooked with a spicy sauce. My wrap was amazing and every bite was better than the last. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was clean and friendly read more

The food was amazing and very flavorful. The decor is warm and relaxing with sun lighting and a full service bar. The only downside is sure to it being a family owned and run business - the service can be slow during the busy times. read more

Really enjoyed eating at this place, while visiting my kid at OSU The first thing you notice is that it is family owned and run, they will come over and talk to you like you are their house guests The food is next level good , the hummus had this airy texture that made it really light yet very flavorful. The bread was soft and perfect with the hummus.The spice potatoes were just excellent with just the right amount of spice Finally, don't sleep on the cocktails Definitely going to be back read more

Without question, one of the best places to eat. Everything was perfect - service, atmosphere and of course the food was outstanding. The hummus was velvety and buttery, the chicken was flavorful and the baklava was heavenly. Will be back again and again read more

Ordered 4 dishes here. All were fantastic. Service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and escaping the heatwave hitting Oregon during our visit. No notes! read more

This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Corvallis. There aren't many good places and this one stands above. Service is friendly. Food is delish. The ambience and decor is also the nicest IMO. The lamb kebab plate, chicken shawarma plate, falafel wrap, mutabal plate and deserts were all delicious. Only wish the mutabal came with at least 2 wraps to dip. One goes quick and isn't enough for the amount. We all wish we had gone here sooner. Everything we had was so good and had quality ingredients. Family owned is always the way to go! If you want a baklava fix too this place does them the best. read more

This place is dirty and was a real turn- off. The food was mediocre and the appetizer and the entree were brought ti us at the same time. I questioned the lamb kabobs that were served to us. Instead of chunks of lamb, it was ground lamb. The manager said these were Syrian kabobs and that's the way they are made. read more

Great service and great food! Our waiter was very patient and explained dishes to us that we had questions on. Service was fast but the food was exceptional. We had the vegetarian platter with homemade pit bread and the lamb shank. Both were very good. We don't live in the area but will definitely be back to this restaurant if we are. read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Great place for this type of cuisine. Glad this is here. Gives us another good choice, when I town to visit our college kiddo. read more

Beautiful decor, delicious food. People are kind. I appreciate the availability of this cultural flavor to enjoy.

What went well... EVERYTHING! A great atmosphere, friendly service, and quality food. Everything was handmade, everything was authentic, everything was delicious. We live 45 minutes away, and I am trying to figure out excuses to go back. read more

Friendly service in a beautiful setting. Stellar Bar. The best hummus this side of Jerusalem. Delicious, fresh and very authentic! Street parking, easy to find. And what a menu! Something for everyone. read more

Lunch with a friend today at Khalo Naser was just amazing! Well worth the forty miles each way (from Eugene) for a meal rich with hospitality and the savory spices of Middle Eastern cuisine. From Kebabs to Knafeh, and the best coffee this side of Damascus, our meal couldn't have been more perfect. What a treasure you have Corvallis! read more

The food is delicious, the service is fantastic, and the restaurant is one of the few with a very well crafted vibe. This easily is a top 5 restaurant in all of Corvallis. This is a must try especially if you are looking for an elevated dining experience. read more

Wow! I've eaten at lots of Mediterranean restaurants and this is the best! Great for vegans (like me) and omnivores alike. If you live in Corvallis then you likely already know and love this Syrian restaurant- and if you're visiting or passing through, like we were, you NEED to know it. I'll be driving down from Portland on the regular just to eat here again. And whenever I'm traveling to and from the coast, a stop here for lunch will be a must-do! read more

Beautiful little lounge with elegant details, friendly service, refreshingly different food stop for Corvallis. I felt like I was in Europe or Italy, due to the charming environment. I wanted to taste food I have not had before, so I chose the mutabal plate vs. baba ghanoush, and basbousa vs. baklava. The bright yellow lentil soup was pureed unlike the darker, American canned version which comes as beans in broth. It was served with slice of lemon, so I squeezed the slice on top of the soup and found it to be a tasty combo. It reminded me of how some Mexican soups are served similarly. Descriptions online noted this soup is vegan, made with lemon juice or water as its base. If youʻre vegan, donʻt just take my word for it, obviously, but many of the foods served here could please your palate. Confirm with your server. The mutabal is similar to the eggplant dish baba ghanoush, but has tahini in it. I thought it was good but my daughter found it unappealing. Their flatbread was giant, twice as big as my hand, and although it looks like a regular olʻ tortilla, it is much, much lighter and was puffy with air. My dessert was described as a semolina cake. It was super sticky with a rosewater syrup. I liked it but could only eat a couple of bites since it was so sweet. It would have been perfect with hot, black tea. Iʻd come again. read more

Excellent Syrian food, we found Khalo Naser to be a food gem in Corvallis. Reasonably priced and delicious at lunch. We ordered a large bowl of their thick and hearty lentil soup which came with fried pita croutons all for $5. A round of delicious Syrian spinach pies, triangle shaped pastry with spinach and nuts (no feta, which you might expect with Greek spanakopita, but this is not Greek food) turned out to be a good order at four pies for eleven dollars. We shared a tasty vegetarian plate with smoky baba ganosh, smoky hummus, the absolutely lightest, fluffy falafel and freshly baked Syrian flatbread. The vegetarian platter ($20) had many options, and came with dolmas and two Mediterranean salad sides. Everything baked in-house was so good that we had to take an order of cheese pastries (four for $12) to go. We found the Syrian flatbread and pastry here to be excellent. Delicious Mediterranean food, and a good value. read more

I drove from out of town to try their food because they had such great reviews. I was very disappointed to find that they were closed at 7:58 pm even though there website, Yelp, goggle and there hours of operation on their door said that they were open until 9pm. They might have good food, but that's very very very unprofessional to not be open the hours that you advertise. I will not be back. They lost at least 4 customers because of they are very unprofessional. read more

Here again, this time on a Friday night. Managed to get a spot at the bar for a party of two. Pita and hummus with lamb were amazing. Beef tenderloin kabobs and chicken kabobs as well. The chicken was melt in your mouth tender. Service was slow, but it's a busy place. Highly recommended if you're in Corvallis. Nice selection of Willamette Valley wines as well. read more

Everything we ordered was fantastic, and we ordered several dishes between the two of us, since the menu had so many items to choose from. Service was attentive. read more

This place is a hidden gem in Corvallis. The whole vibe is bright and classy the moment you walk in. The food is fantastic--the lamb kabob melts in your mouth, and who doesn't love theatrical cocktails that actually taste good? If you're looking for authentic Syrian food, this is the spot. It's family-owned, and you can feel the warm hospitality as the chef's kids help run the place. read more

Our second visit. The vibe is lively, service is warm, and food is worth the wait. Mutabal appetizer. Oh. Emm. Gee. Scrumptious! This time we had the Maza plate which was a taste of many bites - dolmas, mutabal, hummus, falafel, etc. a good choice for variety. Our group also had the lamb shank and shish taouk plates. Hubs practically licked the plate of the lamb shank dish. The Shish Taouk is extremely generous with rice, salad, yogurt sauce that is garlicky in the most deliciously brutal way, flatbread, all the things. Last time we put our name in and waited. This time I was able to call to get a reservation- they have no online reservation system and whether they take reservations seems to change. Will definitely return! read more

The staff was extremely helpful in recommending what to order and in taking care of us. The food was excellent and we would recommend this establishment. read more

By far one of the best places in Corvallis! Everything we get here is delicious, but the veggie plate is my go-to, hidden gem for girl dinner. When family comes to visit- we take them to Khalo Naser. Great food, great vibe, lovely service. read more

We absolutely loved our recent dinner at Khalo Naser. We arrived without a reservation but they were able to seat us pretty quickly. We ordered the hummus plate, Manoushet Zaatar, Kabab Hindi, lentil soup and shawarma. Everything was fresh, tasty, and well seasoned. We appreciated the warm hospitality and friendly service. We will certainly return for all future trips to Corvallis. read more

My wife and I tried this place tonight as we went to Corvallis, OR for work. We had the chicken shawarma and hummus plate as an appetizer which was exceptionally delicious. The hummus was whipped smooth and the chicken was spiced perfectly. We followed that with the chicken shawarma plate and the Soujouk Pie as entrees. Both were wonderful. We ended the night with Mhalabieh and Basbousa for dessert. Outstanding food, and friendly and encouraging service. This is a must stop when you are in the area. read more

Service was great! Incredibly friendly and answering any questions you had, and took great care about allergies. Food was amazing as well. A group shared chicken, beef, and lamb and it was all delicious. I live over an hour away and plan to make the trek again soon. read more

Started with Maza Plate appetizer with Humus, mutabal, baba ghanouj, (stuffed grape leaves, falafel. For dinner enjoyed Lamb Kabab Plate And Shish Taouk Plate (chicken kabab). For desert Mhalabieh (milk pudding topped with pistachio) and the Walnut baklava. We also had the house Margherita. The place had great service and ambiance. It was packed on a Friday night but you could still hear each other at the booth. Nice ambench. It was fun to experience Syrian food locally. Will have to come back to try more. The staff was friendly and attentive. Reccomend reservations on Friday or Saturday nights as it fill up. read more

The food was excellent! Very fresh, great flavors. We ordered a variety of items from the menu, and all were very good. Great service.

I honestly don't know where to begin but, my friend and I have been wanting to come here since they opened. I made the trip from Eugene to have lunch and let's just say, it was worth it and I'll be back! We were greeted warmly and seated quickly on a Friday afternoon. We asked our server for suggestions because we wanted to try everything. We started with Polo juice, amazing and refreshing. Appetizers we had Tabouli Salad and Maza Plate. The flavor was amazing! It was the best hummus I've ever had! This cuisine was truly amazing and homemade! The flavor was like nothing I have ever had and the quality, so good! For our meal we had OVEN BAKED FATAIER Mohmarah Cheese Mama Spinach Pie Soujouk Pie Finished with some Turkish Coffee and Pistachio Baklava! I appreciate the hard work and the true passion put into the food. It is all made from scratch and ran by family. Please just go and enjoy conversations and friends while eating good food! I don't understand the negativity as our dining experience was amazing. We truly enjoyed and will be back! read more

Had to try this place. Man customer service shined. Love the human to human connection as an oppose to the customer/ business owner. Food was great as well. I had the lamb plate with rice and some assortment of vegetables. Syrian cuisine is Obviously different. The flavor profile on the lamb tasted different .. in a good way. It wasn't salty but seasoned nicely. The grilled tomato and onions also complemented the rice very well. I tried the mint drink. It was meh. Really cool to try other regions cuisines. Mint drink wasn't for me. Overall: Food flavor :8.1 Service :10/10 Inside: spacious, and beautiful. Would come back! read more

It's the best Mediterranean food in Oregon. When we visit Corvallis several times per year we make sure to eat here at least once (usually twice) per visit. The food is delicious, healthy, and cooked to perfection. It's a great family run restaurant, excellent service, the best food in the city by far. (It's also our kids favorite place) read more

Food is delicious and service has improved dramatically since they opened. Will return! Yum! Ambiance is pleasant and relaxing too.

The staff was so nice and friendly. We had walked in with only half an hour before closing without realizing and stayed about a half hour after their closing hours. They didn't rush us at all, let us finish our food and were very accommodating. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun, I would definitely come back again! read more

Khalo Naser - The lamb was delicious - Middle Eastern Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

This is a restaurant that I love to visit for its authentic cuisine. I must admit, the portions are larger than they appear, more than I could ever eat in one sitting--quite a generous serving! Fortunately, the food tastes great even after taking it home and reheating it the next day, which saves me the trouble of cooking. I can't get enough of the desserts here; they're so unique that I haven't found anything like them elsewhere. I would recommend bringing a date here to share the food. The atmosphere is very pleasant, especially in the afternoon when it's not too crowded, and the nice background music helps to ease any moments of silence. Finding parking can be challenging, especially during peak hours, but there are several parking areas nearby where you can usually find a spot if you're willing to drive around a bit. read more
