Nothing is better than feeling that there's immediate rapport with whoever will be crafting your time at whichever restaurant and at whatever price point. Our anniversary is on the 13th (I know, what was I thinking) so we rarely speak about it to avoid puzzled looks. So on we went, my husband getting his half dozen oysters and me the whipped warm feta (literally I could've stopped there). Note: Tino's has switched pickle juice into the mignonette sauce so if that isn't your taste the chef can, and did, make up a more purist version. The Cod came with a green crab demi but I was really in a lemon mood, and it was a gorgeous sauce substitute all sitting on top of risotto prepared legitimately al dente. The Cod was a fabulous white fish crisped up perfectly at the edges. Just simply delicious. My husband chose the Pumpkin Ravioli, a favorite, and reported that although he felt that the filling amount was less than in the past, it was still delicious. Absolutely no room for dessert and we were surprised with an anniversary treat of having the feta appetizer become the 'gift' and removed from the bill. Such a lovely touch. Thank you to Campbell...we're so happy to have met, and spent time with you in that glorious restaurant!

We had You Had Me At Hello, a bourbon and passionfruit drink that went down real nice, and Whiskey In The Jar, which was smokey and delightful (Bartender must be a Metallica fan). We'd return just to try more of the unique drinks. The mussels we had for the appetizer were excellent. The broth was perfect for dipping the generous portion of bread. But, our two fish entrees were just OK. Overall, we feel the chef is indiscriminate with salt. The cod was under salted, overcooked, chewy, and the fries that came with the trout were too salty to eat. Dinner ended with complimentary Madeleines and a shot of Limoncello. We will return to try more entrees

I used to frequent Mediterrano in Hillsboro, NH, and absolutely loved it. When the restaurant…read morechanged ownership and then unfortunately closed during COVID, I was genuinely disappointed. About a year later, I found myself craving authentic Mediterranean food again, so I started searching for restaurants around New Hampshire. That's when I came across Ayasofia. As I looked through the menu and photos, everything seemed so familiar--it reminded me of the dishes I had loved at Mediterrano. The next day, my husband and I decided to drive an hour to Salem to try it out, and it was completely worth it. After speaking with the owner, we learned that Mediterrano had actually been owned by a member of his family and that they use the same recipes. It all made perfect sense! The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, even encouraging us to return and meet his mother, who taught him these recipes. I highly recommend the hummus, baba ghanoush, salsa, and grape leaves--they're all fantastic. Be sure to order the lavash bread on the side, as it pairs perfectly with everything. For a main course, the adana lamb kebab is a must-try. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and full of flavor. I only wish I could cook like this--I'd happily eat Mediterranean food every single day!

Turkish restaurant during the day ... Rowdy party bar at night a great time…read more We got a plate of grape leaves and a chicken Kebab and falafel dinner. My husband was particularly excited by how the rice was made. The grape leaves were good and the dinners came with the red cabage and salad. Delicious. I also got the Raki, because I was having Turkish food, but all the cocktails sounded very good. We did not sit in the bar, but they sounded like they were having the time of their lives in there. At one point Rod Stewart came on over the speakers and you could hear them shouting "ROD!!!" I was like, shit - Turkish food AND the regulars love Rod Stewart? Sign me up! If we lived anywhere near here, we'd be back.

I took it home, sautéed it up, and added some quinoa I had on hand, along with the veggie grape leaves. What a perfect, hearty meal! What keeps me coming back besides the incredible food, is how friendly everyone is, whether at the restaurant or at the farmers market. I have a very sensitive stomach and multiple allergies, and I'm so grateful that I can always enjoy Markouk Bread's food and still feel great afterward. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fresh, flavorful Lebanese food and a welcoming atmosphere!

And it seems I wasn't the only one who discovered this hidden gem. When we got here, the spot was packed inside. Despite this we ordered three different items for a sit-down experience, and still received everything within 25 minutes. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap on one occasion, and it was love at first bite. The wrap itself was toasted to a perfect brown crisp on the outside, yet retaining softness underneath, where it encapsulated the ranch-like sauce where it mixed with the sliced lettuce, carrots, onions and tomatoes to give it a well rounded, mixed, creamy flavor of the vegetables. The lamb meat itself was the primary vehicle of salt and spice (with emphasis on the garlic), yet never being dry. All this being considered, the wrap never fell apart, and held together the entire journey. I made the mistake of ordering the lamp wrap my first go here, because the next occasion I came here, I got the chicken shawarma bowl. Although the rice, sauce, chicken and vegetables all inherited the same flavor profile as the wrap, the bowl fell wildly below my expectations as it was impossible to get a truly full bite of every single thing utilizing a small fork. Nonetheless, this is truly the spot for a reliable bite that emulates a small taste of the Middle East.

The fried and sweet potatoe fries are also some of my favorite in all of Portland. We finished off the dinner with the pistachio ice cream and Dubai chocolate which was recommended by our server which was a good end to the meal. Definitely check this place out as soon as possible. It's fantastic and you will not be disappointed in any way.

If you're a fan of beef tartare, I highly recommend the Kibbee Nayye. It's beautifully prepared and served with olive oil, raw onion, fresh mint, and pita. The Family Platter #2 is also a fantastic option if you want to sample a bit of everything. Our favorites were the baba ghannouj, layered kibbee, and the super refreshing tabouli.

Our server was attentive and had great recommendations. It's clearly a fine dining restaurant with reasonable prices. I am a fan of Lebanese food, but this place elevated the experience. The server mentioned that the lentil soup was amazing and he was correct. The soup was seasoned with rich vibrant Mediterranean spices. The grains in the soup added extra texture and elevated the humble soup. The kibbeh balls were fantastic. I have had kibbeh balls before, but these were the best: crispy on the outside and moist and perfectly seasoned ground meat on the inside. There were pine nuts and minced onions in the kibbeh that elevated the dish. Then came the kaftah kebabs with grilled vegetables. Those vegetables were grilled nicely. The ground beef and lamb kaftah kebabs were spectacular. So meaty! These kebabs didn't have fillers. They were beautifully seasoned, grilled nicely and moist on the inside. What a delight! I recommend this establishment.

Rating: 4.5 On the…read moreway to the White mountain, we decided to stop by for dinner since I saw that their reviews were stellar. Just in case we made a reservation as it was recommended on the website. It's an authentic Mediterranean restaurant located in Somersworth, NH. The restaurant is slightly hidden as its located on lower floor of a building what it looks like to be an old train station. Inside is cozy with dark dim lights, relaxing instrumental music and decorations of train signs. We ended up arriving very early but they were able to accommodate us. We got hot turkish tea, lavash bread, mixed appetizer plate with babagannush, haydari, hammus, tabouli, and adana kebab. My partner got the chicken shish kebab. Hot turkish tea came with very fancy tray and cup. Tea was earthy and smoky. Lavash bread is huge steaming bread with crusty outside and chew soft inside. The bread paired perfectly with the mixed appetizer plate. I personally liked haydari the best. It reminded of cream cheese a bit as it was based on yogurt. The adana kebab was excellent. It came with perfectly grilled spiced lamb, rice, salad and mashed potatoes. Tender flavorful lamb paired well with rice and mashed potatoes. Salad was ok but good addition to balance the meal. Service was excellent and our server was very attentive and kept offering refills for our Turkish tea freshly made every time. Overall the place was great and such a hidden gem. Food is great, price is reasonable, and service is excellent. It was one of the best restaurant that we had tried while visiting NH. Would love to come back when planning a trip back to NH.
