Grape leaves
Cheryl N.

Love this location. Cute neighborhood. We managed to find parking a block away. Amazing gluten free pita bread Amazing mezze. I loved the grape leaves too. Everything is so fresh. I do wish they offered substitutions with some of their platters. Service was quick and we left feeling full and happy

Meza platter

Nice place nice food nice environment If u are in the mood of some good Mediterranean style kabobs, this is the place to go. Plenty of options of kabobs with chicken, chicken dark meat, salmon, lamb or beef...all served with skewers with bell peppers and onions and some yummy garlic based dipping sauce. Their rice is also super delicious with a very tenderly texture and wonderful taste. All very good.

Perfect Red Wine with my meal!

In September of 2025, I visited Gresham and walked downtown to spend the day. I was looking for a good lunch spot serving Mediterranean food. This place hit all the right buttons! From the well-stocked bar to the wonderful flatbread with herbed oil and then the Lamb Kabob Salad,... I cannot say enough! Service was excellent. Friendly, fast and professional. The surroundings were relaxing and acoustics perfect. Sometimes small restaurants are extremely noisy. Not here. Highly recommended!

Lamb Kabob Plate - SO GOOD
Christine L.

Located in downtown this spot was busy during lunch on a weekday some of the staff seemed stressed frazzled while others handled the hustle and bustle with grace... Two restrooms, indoor seating with tables for mostly for groups of 4, casual and clean place. The lamb kabab plate was AMAZING. One of the best Mediterranean dishes I've had as it was all so fresh and cooked perfectly with complimentary flavors. Everything tasted homemade and perfect portions. Definitely will be returning!!!

My daughter just moved to the area and we came in to have lunch. Love the cute establishment. Especially, how it is on Main Street. The service was impeccable! I am a very picky with my food. The food was so fresh and so delicious. I cannot say anything negative. I will come again when I visit my daughter.

Chicken Thigh Kabob Plate no sauce
Daphne S.

My mom highly recommend this restaurant so we came to celebrate my brother before he left for college. The restaurant is tucked inside downtown Gresham. On Wednesdays there is a car show nearby. The inside is very cute. The servers are very nice as well. The menu is basically individual plates. Not really ideal for family style. Free bread is also included. I also wouldn't recommend sharing. The plates are just enough for one person. Food was amazing. Service was great'

Inside

Everything was fantastic including the warm flatbread and olive oil to start. My lamb skewer was perfect medium rare, and the rice and vegetables that came with the meal were perfect and tasty. Val's chicken sandwich was delicious and more than she could eat [took some home]. Had we been served at the same time 5 stars, but I'd eaten 1/2 my meal by the time her wrap arrived. Probably will go back if we're out that way.

Fresh naan
Jennifer L.

I've been wanting to try this place for ages but always end up at my usual spots and I'm mad that I waited so long. They weren't super busy when I got there but it took a while to be seated and that set the tone for the rest of the service. It was just slow and that's why they're getting four stars. The food though...my mouth is watering just thinking about it. You get a slice of naan bread that's the size of a pizza and some oil and spices to dip it in. The naan was hot, fresh, and pretty yummy. The dipping oil was just meh. I would have preferred hummus instead. I ordered the beef shawarma plate that comes with a salad, rice, and hummus. Everything was so full of flavor, especially the beef. The salad was a new flavor profile for me and it took a few bites to get used to the dressing but I was sad when it was all gone. The leftovers (if you have any) are even better warmed up the next day.

Almaza and almazing pils, perfect for middle Eastern food.

Spiced Minced Lamb over Hummus and Tabouli Salad. Creamy hummus topped with minced lamb, still hot from the skillet. With a fresh, tart, green salad, and the ubiquitous giant pita(these things are stupid good) and dipping sauce(gratis). So much good food, enough for two and left overs. Nicholas, still a lovely little restaurant in downtown Gresham.

Elisha J.

Seriously great food. I had the spiced lamb over hummus, and it was delicious, the hummus was tangy and creamy, the lamb was spicy and tender, and the flat bread is amazing, puffy, soft and chewy. My husband had the tabouleh, and it was also amazing, bright flavors, fresh vegetables, and a great lemony and minty flavor. Service was great, and the restaurant had a great vibe.

Wendy S.

I ordered food from here for my daughter's birthday party and it was delicious! The package included salad, hummus, tzatziki, pita, rice, 2 types of kebabs, desserts and drinks. The ordering process was super easy through the website as well. It was a good amount of food for a great price. It was actually a lot more food than I expected and I'm all for it! All the guests loved the food too. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The rice was also very popular! I will be back to try some of the dishes for dine in very soon.

Lamb meat pie
JamiQuan J.

This was a spur of the moment lunch with a co-worker and I'm so glad we did. Lunch time was steady and restaurant was about half full with happy and contented folks enjoying their food. We were seated and had maybe 2-3 minutes before we were presented with their freshly baked bread and Zaatar and olive oil dip! I choose the mezza meat and my co-worker chose the lamb bowl. The food was prompt to arrive, hot and delicious. In addition I order the baba ghanoush and an additional bread and an additional order of falafel to take home. I had a good deal of left overs and no complaints Customer service was attentive and I'll be back!!! Oh and the mint and cinnamon tea strong and perfect for this weather.

The food is delicious.

It lost ambience. The food is still very good, but it feels like a cafeteria now. :(

I believe, they also shopped their little store for some take home treats! We will be having a food-to go, again, so we can compare the difference in how they fixed lamb. During Easter, that's what I was craving, and I didn't get that. UPDATE #2: Because it's Easter, I craved for lamb shanks. Instead of traveling to Vancouver or SW PDX, for two of our favorite restaurants, that have also lamb, I DECIDED to have to-go from Ya Hala, another of our favorite restaurant, because they're only 7 mins. from home. After searching for their menu, I ordered: Spring Lamb Pomegranate-glazed leg of lamb served with spinach-pomegranate sauce, basmati rice, and fresh peas -- $28. (See photo, why I am deducting a star). THIS is not worth $28, and it is something you'd find at a Food Cart for $14. It was also tough! I was so disappointed, and I'm not sure I'll be going back!

For sure the best Lebanese food in Hillsboro, maybe the best in all of Oregon!…read more I've had Falafel in many restaurants surrounding Portland and this is the best by far. Very moist, tender and loads of flavor, unlike most places that serve it drier than a week old biscuit. Their Hummus is creamy and delicious. The best I've had anywhere and it comes with a huge piece of flatbread. The rice was light and fluffy, steamed to perfection. Atmosphere is warm, cozy Mediteranian; service was fast and attentive; food was abundant and delicious; prices are fair and very reasonable. Seriously nothing not to love about this amazing restaurant! My only complaint is their takeout boxes are made of single-use plastic.

A Stunning Mediterranean Escape! If you're in Beaverton and…read morelooking for an authentic, high-quality Lebanese meal, Oasis Lebanese Cuisine (located in the Murray Scholls Town Center) is a total standout. It's rare to find a place that nails the "hidden gem" feel while providing such a polished, upscale atmosphere. Here is why Oasis is my absolute favorite: The Ambiance: The interior is beautiful and incredibly unique. They have these cozy, fabric-tented booths that make your meal feel private and intimate--perfect for a date night or a long catch-up with friends. It truly feels like an "oasis" once you step inside. The Mezza Plate Sampler: If it's your first time, you must order this. It's the best way to try a bit of everything--the hummus is velvety, the baba ghanouj has that perfect smoky char, and the falafel is served hot and crispy. The Lamb Shank: This is the ultimate comfort food. The meat literally falls off the bone and is seasoned with a blend of Middle Eastern spices that are aromatic but not overwhelming. Pair it with their basmati rice, and you're in heaven. Specialty Drinks: Their Rose Water Lemonade is life-changing--so refreshing and not too sweet. If you're a coffee lover, the Turkish Coffee is the perfect way to end the meal. The Experience: On Friday and Saturday nights, they often have belly dancing performances, which adds such a vibrant, cultural energy to the room. It makes the whole night feel like an event rather than just a dinner. Exceptional Service: The staff here is so welcoming and fast. Even when the restaurant is full, they are incredibly attentive and happy to explain the menu or accommodate dietary needs (lots of great gluten-free and vegan options!). Pro Tip: If you like a little heat, ask for their spicy garlic sauce. It's addictive and goes well with just about everything on the menu. Whether you're a local or just passing through Beaverton, Oasis is a must-visit. You'll come for the food, but you'll stay for the incredible vibes!

5 starts just for having one of my favorite dishes! I was in Portland for work and my friend and I…read morestopped here for dinner. It's a small place with dim lighting and a handful of tables. We were seated quickly and greeted warmly. There is a nice selection of imported drinks and beers if that's your thing. My friend ordered the lamb shawarma and the portion was really good - lots of meat with rice. I went off the a la carte menu and got stuffed cabbage, 2 pieces of falafel, and a meat pie. My food came with a large piece of freshly baked pita. It was piping hot and the perfect implement to eat my dinner. The meat pie was probably my least favorite because I prefer mine with a tahini sauce and the bread was a little soggy. But the flavor was there and great. The falafel was dense and tasty and came with a tahini sauce to dip in. But my favorite was by far the stuffed cabbage or malfoof. Stuffed cabbage is one of my favorite Arabic dishes and I rarely make it because of how much time it takes. I enjoyed every single bite of that cabbage roll and now it's renewed my resolve to make some at home. All in all - nice staff, good food, quaint place. Definitely check it out!
