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.

4.4/5. 1st place - baked feta (delicious only complaint is…read morethat the feta stuck to the bottom of the pan) 2nd- lamb chops 3rd place - radicchio salad (crunchy bits were delicious) 4th - hamachi crudo (the sauce with this was amazing to dip the pita in) 5th - cauliflower (the fact that they brought this last should be illegal) Overall, really enjoyed but wish everything was brought out together so it could be eaten together.

The family options are for catering only, or at least that is what I was told when I attempted to…read moreorder it. The restaurant was clean and appeared well maintained. The food, was fine. Nothing amazing but nothing bad. We ate in restaurant and were given to go boxes for the left overs. Drinks are not included and priced individually- bottle of Diet Coke $4. we are a family of 4 I tried to order the $95 family platter listed under the "Family" section of the menu that states feeds 4. A woman who was not the cashier told us it was available for catering only, even though the menu does not state that and rarely would a catering order be for 4 or less. Several reviews also mention customers ordering the family platter and one even mentioning they ordered it "to go", so the explanation was confusing.

SCW and I and I stopped into Omar's Mediterranean Grill while touring wine country. The food truck…read morehas lots of parking spaces around and the menu is posted outside. We were warmly greeted when we arrived. The menu is a little confusing for vegetarians, but we figured it out. Basically you can pick whatever is on the menu and choose what protein you want on it. We really wanted falafel however it's no longer available. They use a pea protein instead. Minus a star here as I think the pea protein while tasty, really changes the dishes we had. I had a shawarma wrap, SCW a gyro and we also got an order of hummus which came with pita. The food itself was good. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The tomatoes stood out for me as better than usual. The pea protein was tasty but added a different flavor profile than I was really looking for. When you want falafel it just doesn't taste the same. The hummus was good as was the pita bread. The service was great. I enjoyed the meal but I would not seek it out again simply because of the pea protein option. Of course it's great they offer a meat substitute but it wasn't something I would seek out for Mediterranean food.

My family came here at noon on a Thursday. It was not crowded at all, but slowly got more busy over…read morethe course of two hours. Most of their tables are half booth, half chairs. The service was fast. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I had the cypress bowl with falafel - the falafel was crisp, and the homemade pita and hummus were particularly yummy and flavorful. My grandma got the Mediterranean burger - their house ketchup is spectacular and flavored with allspice and cinnamon. Their dessert options all sounded amazing - the the triple chocolate mousse was rich and perfect to split as a little sweet treat between four people. We each got a few bites.

Food was very good; we ordered hummus, rice salad with lamb and a gyro…read more Everything else was unacceptable. The young lady at the counter gave possibly the worst service I have experienced in a long time. She gave no acknowledgment, no recommendation, seemed bothered that we were there, no response when we said thank you multiple times. ZERO ENGAGEMENT! The place is also dirty and appears unkept. The outside seating area has trash and debris from the previous day...we were there right after open... needs to be swept. Doesn't appear like it has been pressure washed in a while either. Planters are smeared with dirt, concrete stained with food buildup and tables need a bath. The inside is just as bad, which starts at the front door. Front glass looks awful...smears, dirt, grime, and streaks galore. There are also signs peeling and tape residue left from signage that used to be present. Soda machine and bathrooms were also beneath expectations. You can't have a "thank you for supporting small business" sign if you aren't doing your part. I would love to support you in the future, BUT service and cleanliness must improve.

I've tried door dashing orders from this place multiple times. They always screw up my Gyros…read more Either they forget a topping (I only ask for lettuce, tomato and Tzatziki sauce), add an extra topping or add another sauce. I thought I finally figured out a way where they couldn't screw up and ordered just pitas, 3 lbs of lamb gyro meat and two bowls of Tzatziki sauce and figured I would make them myself. How could they screw that up? Wouldn't you know, instead of Tzatziki sauce, I get some disgusting brown sauce that none of us can eat. I'm not kidding either. Almost $100 down the drain. I'll never order from them again. Pics are everything thrown away and of the sauce.

I asked for the yogurt tahini sauce on the side and they spread it all over. They refused to refund and refused any help. Not very friendly an owner is hardly there so it makes sense why quality is so low. I would not recommend this place since they cannot follow dietary instructions and are quite rude to customers. Improve? If they were kind and helpful. Kind of an abandoned ambiance.
