It's fun going y there to find out what they have that day. If nothing else, I would go there for the bread. I searched far and high for Simit (Turkish bread) to no avail. I found it here. They had it frozen. Of course it's not as good as fresh bread, but I am not complaining. The service can be better. That does not stop us from trying to bring niceness out of them...

IA will return weekly at least for bread. For those of you who know, their bread is as good as Maiwand in fremont.

We arrived in the rain, it is November in Portland. So the first thing I noticed while waiting In the line outside in the rain, was everyone was super nice and asked if I had attended before. When I said no, folks said I would not be disappointed. Additionally, there was a nice older gentlemen who independently (on Halloween) was walking down the line and offering candy. Thanks for the mini snickers bite! We had a group of 7 of us last evening as we discussed "would this be worth it" as we slowly inched our way to the cashier to place our order. It is important to note, however, that while waiting in line the butcher shop walked the line (often starting at the end which was super considerate) offering slices of grilled sausages and probably some of the best toasted bread I have had. We made it - and placed our order for two burgers and potato salad. While waiting we checked out the shop - and while small, it is cozy and I can see why their classes and dinners draw in folks. They also had wine, beer and other items for sale to drink as well as a lovely self of bottles of wine. The BURGER!!! OMG - Heck yes!!!! Did I mention at the beginning I will be waiting in line on the last Friday of every month. I believe it was a brioche roll, garlic aoli, pickles and chopped onion with the best fresh, grilled on a fire hamburger patty I have had. Oh - and I am a total food snob. I can say this - those were big burgers and two of the guys in our group went back and ordered a second burger to eat. My husband also then raided their freezer for meats for us to bring home and prep ourselves. One of those was a beautiful Tomahawk and I cannot wait to cook it to perfection. I promise I will "not F it up." While I don't want the lines to get longer, I cannot deny my role as a Yelp Elite is to proactively share great experiences for others. So I kindly do this although this is one that I would prefer to keep a secret. Next up - I am signing up for classes!!! It's been a while since my time in CA where I learned to butcher a pig and make sausage. I saw that Proletariat Butchery offer bacon making classes. SCORE!!!

This was one of the best burgers I've ever had the chance of devouring. They have a process of cooking about 10 burgers at a time so be patient. The burger is worth the time. The flavor melts off the burger into your mouth. The freezer was picked through and a lot of the meat was gone. However we found a Tomahawk, some sausage and they were able to grab us some hamburger patties from the refrigerator. Great, friendly and helpful staff. I will be back again and again.

Customer service was great too.

Rubber necked Meskel Market on my way home form work, wait, what is that place?…read more I was intrigued by this simple looking Ethiopian convenient store, so I drove around the block and in my impatience for discovery, parked illegally. Inside, to my delight, there are huge stacks of bubbly injera bread. Each pack must weigh 5 lbs! I ask the man behind the counter if smaller packs are available, sadly they were sold out of the chubbies. I move on to the stacks of packed spices, eyeing a cake stand filled with what appeared to be samosas. They guy tells me they are Ethiopian lentil samosas, I am so sold. I buy two for $4 and jet home to consume with an Oregon pinot. Ah, such delight! I go on yelp and find nothing. Come on guys, Meskel Market needs a little props! In the meantime, stay tuned for upcoming injera reports.
