    Lamb shank
    Paul M.

    Everything we ordered here was delicious. This restaurant is located about ten minutes from our house, and we have driven by it for a long time without realizing how good it was. I ordered the lamb and beef skewers with salad, and everything was fresh and tasty. My mom ordered the lamb shank, and that was possibly the most fabulous thing any of us ordered. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender and came with a broth that you dipped it in, which was absolutely scrumptious. My father ordered the two skewers of hummus that sat inside a comically large piece of flatbread, which was equally great. The service was top-notch, and everyone working there was polite and attentive. The restaurant itself was very cozy, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We are delighted to have found a new restaurant with fresh options so close to home.

    The sampler plate was excellent. I'm not a particular fan of baba ghanoush, but theirs was really good. The sandwich is fresh and delicious, the Service was quick, efficient and polite, in a really nicely decorated restaurant. A great ambience for the faith, with plenty of outdoor views.

    Beef shawarma hummus and Iraqi bread.
    Scott H.

    I gotta stop ordering beef shawarma. Someone stop me the next time I try. I'm never going to learn. The shawarma was very flavorful but almost too flavorful. It ended up a little dry too. I probably should have gone for chicken. I really wanted to try the hummus and the combo with the hummus and Iraqi bread just seemed like the right choice. Kind of like a sandwich you put together yourself. Price gets a little carried away when you consider what a sandwich would cost. But I guess I get the hummus and more bread. Bread was fresh and soft and chewy. Definitely a highlight. Hummus was very smooth. All of the parts were really Delicious. Very friendly service and a clean space.

    Veggie combo! Don't miss those falafels!
    Cindy H.

    Very friendly with a relaxed vibe. A gentleman I assume is the owner greeted us warmly from the register upon entering. While we were there, customers arrived about every ten minutes mostly for takeout. That's always a good sign! Everything is served promptly and professionally. Even our waters were delivered to us on a tray. The food was very good. Everything is served on heavy ceramics and presented artfully. I ordered the veggie combo because I was starved after 9 miles of paddling around the Willamette. I judge Mediterranean food by the quality of the hummus. Moonlight's was a nice consistency, not watered down, hearty. I would have preferred more of a garlic hit but I say that about just every hummus I encounter! The baba ghanoush was fantastic, slightly tangy and perfect blend of spices. The absolute stars of the plate were the falafels. i am sure they are the best I have ever eaten. Moist with good flavor inside and a pleasant crunch on the outside. Not at all greasy or tough! Easy to cut with my fork. Dipped in the baba ghanoush --- heaven! Portions are quite generous and the prices are reasonable! I took home at least half of my dips. My plate was around $14. I pay $20 for a similar plate elsewhere. My husband said his chicken was good but nothing to write home about. It looked good! I told the chef how much I enjoyed the falafel. She beamed. This is a tiny place where the food is tasty and the staff take care of you with pride. Those two things right there is what I look for in a meal --- whether at a 10-table or 50-table establishment. Without them, you are wasting your money. You are spending wisely at Moonlight!

    Beef shawarma
    Sofia V.

    Great food and service. The beef shawarma was tender and juicy. The pitta was freshly made too!

    I forgot to take a picture before so this is what's left of my bone in, tender lamb lunch!

    Excellent! I was craving lamb at lunchtime and this place was amazing! Staff was wonderful, kind, attentive and quick. I'll be coming back for sure.

    Amazing baklava
    Francisco V.

    Amazing service right from the start. The owner welcomes you with a smile and doesn't rush you on what to order. He will answer any of your questions regarding any dishes. I had the Chicken Kufta with the Baklava as a dessert which I've never tried but gave it a try and was actually tasty. Would order more in the future. Food is full of flavor and is authentic. Location is a great spot easy to find since it's near the main road. Inside the restaurant there is plenty of seating areas for larger groups. Down to earth kind of place I would say. If you like Mediterranean food give this place a try.

Everything is made fresh, portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The meat was flavorful and well-seasoned, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the sauces brought everything together perfectly. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helped answer questions about the menu. If you're looking for authentic halal food with great taste, big portions, and excellent value, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended! Favorite recommendation: The lamb gyro and chicken saj are must-tries. Elmasry Egyptian Halal Food waa mid ka mid ah meelaha ugu fiican ee aan cunto ka cunay. Menu-gu wuxuu leeyahay noocyo badan oo kala duwan sida gyro, saj, falafel, hilib wan, digaag, burgers, iyo cuntooyin saxan ah. Cuntadu waa cusub tahay, qaybaha la bixiyana waa waaweyn yihiin, qiimuhuna waa mid macquul ah marka loo eego inta cunto ee aad hesho. Hilibku wuxuu ahaa mid aad u dhadhan fiican oo si wanaagsan loo kariyey, khudaarta iyo waxyaabaha kale ee la isticmaalayna waxay ahaayeen kuwo cusub. Suugada ay isticmaalaan ayaa cuntada si gaar ah u dhammaystirtay. Shaqaaluhuna waxay ahaayeen kuwo saaxiibtinimo leh, soo dhoweyn wanaagsan sameeya, isla markaana diyaar u ah inay kaa caawiyaan fahamka menu-ga. Haddii aad raadineyso cunto xalaal ah oo dhadhan fiican leh, qaybo badan leh, isla markaana qiimo wanaagsan ku fadhida, meeshan waa inaad booqataa. Waxaan hubaa inaan mar kale soo laaban doono si aan uga tijaabiyo cuntooyin kale oo menu-ga ku jira. Waxaan si gaar ah u kugula talinayaa: Lamb Gyro iyo Chicken Saj.

I've been here quite a few times and have really enjoyed the Aribic People's latte with its strong cardamon overtones, the Chocolate Jesus and today, the Mucho Calliente, which promises a chili infusion, and cinnamon infused espresso with dark chocolate! But wait..., oh no, I forgot to ask for oat... this is probably (certainly) dairy. Argh! Sorry, I have no Viking blood and can not digest cow milk. I would rather battle the aforementioned Viking before I'd endure the results of ... dairy! So, I brought my drink up fully prepared to pay for another and everyone there, EVERYONE, in almost unison, refused to take my payment. They kindly and quickly made another and... oh... spicy indeed, but chocolatey and balanced! One of the best spicy mochas I've had anywhere ... and I am an absolute Spella snob and proud of it! Inside secret: Don't miss out on the great selection of truly authentic Egyptian foods and pastries, as well as some really nice necklaces and earrings. If you need that piece to pull your whole Nefertiti look together before going out for a Saturday of dancing and fun... this is your hidden gem!

His hospitality set the tone for the whole evening--warm, relaxed, and full of conversation between people from all over the world. One of the highlights was watching Joe prepare traditional Egyptian coffee over hot sand, a centuries-old method that slowly heats the coffee and brings out deep, rich flavors. But the real comfort of the night came in the form of Egyptian Sahlab. Imagine a thick, creamy winter drink made from warm milk, gently sweetened and flavored with vanilla and orange blossom water. Those of you who tried it know what I am talking about! It was very nice to get a beautiful taste of Egyptian culture right here on Hawthorne. Huge thanks to Joe for the incredible hospitality and for sharing these traditions with us. I hope they expand to include a full Egyptian, Mediterranean food menu.
