The perfect way to start this tired teacher's summer break. Absolutely delicious. Shukran!…read more The flavors are wonderful. There's a little something extra in the baklava that gives it a unique taste. Their tea is also delicious, but what makes it all even better is the hospitality, especially from the sister of the Falahi bros. The only drawback for me is that it's a little spendy. Otherwise I'd eat here much more frequently. Perfect for a nice treat though!

We stopped by this gem on a warm weekend after working up an appetite, and it was fabulous…read more Because we were traveling with our 150-pound dog, we had to order our food to go, but the brief time spent inside was wonderful. The moment I walked in, I received a wonderful, warm greeting. The customer service here is exceptional--they truly make you feel more like family than just customers. On top of the hospitality, the restaurant is absolutely immaculate. I even watched a staff member meticulously wiping down shelves while I waited. They have a great meat selection, but the menu is also highly accommodating for vegetarian I ordered lamb gyro and it was delicious! It had the perfect balance of savory meat, fresh vegetables, and flavorful sauce. I would order this again in a heartbeat We also ordered the Greek fries, which were tasty and unique. They are cut into round discs rather than standard strips. This gives them a larger, crispier surface area that is perfect for scooping up all the delicious toppings. I got the spicy garlic dip on the side because my husband doesn't always enjoy a spice like I do. Managing a giant dog meant we had to eat in the car and skip taking photos this time--sometimes eating takes priority over photography! However, the outstanding food, welcoming family vibe, and pristine cleanliness left a lasting impression. Looking forward to going back!!

So happy to add "I Heart Gyro" to our list of Mediterranean restaurants!…read moreIt's easy to get to, the dining room is medium sized w/booths, it's clean inside & out and the food is delicious! Plus, I love going into places where the employees seem genuinely happy to work there & this place is no different. We were greeted warmly, questions were answered & in spite of ordering at a counter, they didn't forget about us. They brought drinks & silverware to the table, then checked up on us a couple of times during our meal. They have a menu with several choices, the portions were generous enough that we had plenty to bring home for another meal. If you're into "clean eating", this is a great example. The food and sauces aren't OVERLY salted or seasoned, but just right. You can taste the actual flavors of the food, which was so refreshing! I've included pictures of their current menu & the dishes we ordered. We're definitely looking forward to visiting again!

this is my second time in & my partner's first. he got the original gyro, i got the usual (i think…read morethat's what it's called?) and we got a side of their current special, a lemon soup with chicken. i hadn't been here in a couple years but it's even better than i remembered. the lamb here is so tender and very well seasoned, and their hummus is genuinely the only kind i like - i stopped buying hummus from the store entirely after getting it here. there's a lot of food spots that will skimp on meat and toppings, but that is NOT patras gyros. phenomenal food, quick and kind staff, and to me, a hidden gem that i'm sure my partner & i will be regulars at. thank you patras gyros & staff!

Food was good but at same time it was dry chicken overcooked and it seemed they reheat it that's…read morewhy it turns out dry. The chicken gyro meat was blend and texture was like rubber. Rice was good and tzatziki sauce is good. An upsetting thing was last time they charged me $5. more than I paid with tip. So I don't plan to come back but if I do we will not tip at all. I work really close so sometimes I have to grab a salad somewhere. And it is slight overpriced but I do understand prices in food do go up. At least cook the chicken fresh don't reheat it on stove grill because it drys the chicken Even more. I worked in restaurants and I noticed few things that I will tell them in person if it doesn't change then I will come back and post it here. People treat me nice and polite but they do take a little long time I made sure salad don't have the orange on ends of cut lettuce, so far have not noticed

What a sweet quaint little restaurant. My daughter and I went there yesterday for Mother's Day. It…read morewas a beautiful day and while they have outdoor seating we elected to eat inside. Reviewing the menu, there were lots of yummy things to choose from but ultimately we both could not resist the Lamb shank. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of it. It was so tender and delicious. It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long. It was quiet, comfortable, music was great; songs we all know but with native instruments and flare. We had house red wine - not a big selection of alcohol, which is fine the food is and should be the star. Our sever (Sorry my old lady brain forgot his name) but the good looking bald guy(LOL) was nice and personable. It was such a great low key dining experience that just made the day even better. I highly recommend this cute place and we will be back- there are a lot more wonderful food to try!

BEST MEAL IN PORTLAND!!!!!…read more Saw this place randomly while looking for a place to eat after a long flight. It was late and not many places were open. This place was closed but a middle eastern place that serves cheesecake was soo intriguing that i knew i needed to come back. Came back Saturday night and they had no tables and was packed. However, they tried to accommodate us so much. However, the night was in our favor. As we started to order take out, a lady was kind enough to give up her table since she was eating alone. It was a small table for 3 people but the staff was sooo accommodating i have no words. They even gave free dessert to the lady who was kind. Then luck would have it, the table next to us never showed up for their reservation so they gave us that table. Finally, we ordered. Turned out, i also got the last shawarma too. Everything happens for a reason! We also got the Saudi chicken kabsa and cheesecakes. The biggest compliment i can give is when the food came, none of us talked for a good 5-7 mins and just sat there in heaven eating. The flavors were soo unique but yet so familiar. If this is Saudi food, i have been missing out. I need to explore more sub categories of middle eastern cuisine. Best bites in Portland for us and that's all i have to describe our experience. Finally, got the Nutella cheesecake and almond caramel cheesecake. I have to say, Nutella was good but easily a skip compared to almond and caramel. Just get 2 of those and you'll be happy. The cakes itself are light and not heavy. They were great end to a great meal. This is a family owned but family loved business. You can see the love as they serve their guests but you can taste the love too. The people are soo sweet and kind and just want to serve you. Please give your love here, because if i lived in Portland, this would my weekly spot.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where you are lucky enough to taste half the menu and everything…read moreis amazing? This is it. From the appetizers to the lamb shank to the multiple cheesecakes- beyond amazing. This is not "Mediterranean" or "Greek" food. This is not a "gyro place". This is authentic Saudi and words do not describe how amazing the food is prepared and served by the kindest family you could ever hope to meet. Spoke to a couple 20-something Saudi guys who had traveled from Seattle to eat food like their moms and grandmas made in their childhoods. They ordered a lot of food and cleaned their plates happily. I am going back next week to try the other half of the menu and cannot wait! This is a must- go restaurant as there is something for everyone, vegan, vegetarian or carnivore The cheesecakes? Home made and mind-bending. Oh, the saffron tea? OMG. Never tasted anything like it. GO!!!! You can thank me later.

I order the fried…read moreoysters/catfish it which very well seasoned, piping hot also fried hard (the way I liked it), with the homemade tater and remoulade sauce. The chicken (was tender) biscuits and gravy were so good. Biscuits were fluffy, the sausage gravy had a taste I couldn't put my finger on be was so tasty. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and, soft in the middle with a smoky flavored seasoning that made me want even more. Service~Our server and customer service was top notch. We chose to sit on the patio and, he was managing 6 times at once. He greeted the both of us promptly with water. Took our orders and, while we wait he continued to check on us while refilling his our drinks. Ambiance~Very clean restaurant and restroom. It was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Only street parking and, it's in a residential neighborhood. We chatted another 30 minutes after our meal and, didn't feel rushed to leave. I would highly recommend this restaurant it's a family owned and, they are from Louisiana.

That said, I've been here a few times and keep wanting to love it more than I actually do. The food is good, but with so many amazing brunch spots around Portland, nothing on the menu really stands out enough to justify the wait for me. The exception? The Bloody Mary. That thing is loaded and worth ordering every single time.
