We ordered the Lentil Soup and the Tabouli Salad (again) for side dishes. Why order anything else, if these are the reasons, why we keep coming back! The only difference: the bread! No matter, we like this bread, too.

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!

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 the second time coming to try the Chicken Gyro. The first time I thought it was really…read moregood! The first time they had nice big chunks of chicken breast that were charred just right. This time it was just chicken strips and I felt that they barely grilled them. There wasn't much charred taste to them. I tried the plain garlic sauce this time. it was OK, but I really liked the spicy garlic sauce that I got in my the first Gyro better. It was more flavorful.. I also got a small order of their fries. Must say the fries were pretty good. However, at over $17 ane charge ,before tip, I don't feel it's worth that much. I noticed us when you look at the photos from the reviews some of the chicken chunks look more grilled and charred than other times.. I guess it depends on who works there. Too bad they're pretty inconsistent. That's exactly why I will not be coming back.

Excellent food! We shared the Bulgogi Beef Palo Bowl! More than enough food for the two of us…read more After a long road trip, this is exactly what our bodies were craving.

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.

I love Mediterranean food in general and was looking forward to seeing what this restaurant had offer. On entry the first thing that I noticed is that the room, Reedley, really wanted to be a nightclub! The whole vibe with the floor and the way the lighting looks... And then I looked over and saw a giant DJ production rack behind the bar and additional club lights... Yeah. It's a restaurant by day, and I'm sure that people dance there. Added to the vibe! I just wanna take a moment to acknowledge that the menu is amazingly comprehensive. This is not some random gyro place. There are things here that I frankly never seen anywhere in the Portland Metro area. Can't wait to go back many times and sample all of it. My companion got the gyro platter and I got the lamb lula kabab. They were both accompanied by a couple of sauces/chutney's. that were delicious addition. We closed out the meal sharing a slice of their cake, which was incredibly delicious as well. The meal was excellent, but the prospects of all the things that I didn't eat, haunt me. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

We've always talked about trying it, so it felt like the perfect birthday plan. The owner, Dennis, was incredibly kind--so genuine, grateful, and full of faith. The way he treated us went far beyond just serving food; it truly made our whole day. We left not just full from the meal, but with full hearts. His kindness meant more than he probably knows. Thank you so much:)

First of all I want to start by saying that the Owner was super nice! I read wonderful reviews…read moreabout him and his wife who run the place, so I had to try it out for myself. I ordered the chicken Gyro and asked for cucumbers. Unfortunately, the chicken was not very tasty. I was hoping for charbroiled chunks of chicken breast, like "I Heart Gyro" does. Instead it was thin strips of seasoned chicken that were probably thawed out from the freezer. The Tzatziki sauce was very good though! Because I asked for extra sauce, it made the Iceberg lettuce soggy, as well as the thin slices of onions. By the time I picked off all the soggy pieces of Iceberg lettuce and thin slices of onions, I was left with just two slices of tomatoes and two slices of cucumber! Definitely not worth paying the extra dollar for two slices of cucumber! I paid almost $15 for this Gyro that lacked crisp veggies and they were stingy with the Feta cheese! Only a few crumbles. I feel very disappointed, because I read wonderful reviews about this place. Too bad, so sad! P.S.: If you want a delicious Chicken Gyro with marinated and grilled chunks of chicken breast, "I Heart Gyro" can't be beat!
