We haven’t been here since well before the pandemic and remember it as having amazing food, service, and atmosphere – it still does.

This place is the real deal for Mediterranean food! You cannot match the hummus, pita, grape leaves, and baklava here.

My husband is in security in downtown Portland and the owners had him and a co-worker come in for lunch. The next day during their 60 yr anniversary they gave him the chicken and rice dinner. He brought it home to me. The word exceptional doesn’t even come.close to describing how delicious it was. I literally could eat it every single day. Thank you for your out of this universe food, and happy anniversary

First off there are quite a few good Lebanese food places in this city, so the competition is high.

This was our first time at this restaurant and it was absolutely delicious, flavorful and fun to try something new. The server was very helpful in explaining the different Lebanese dishes and we felt the pricing was very reasonable for it and that delicious food that we were served. The restaurant atmosphere was very pretty. I have attached some photos of some of the delicious food that we were served. Parking was somewhat difficult and that we had to park a few blocks away to find parking. We also could have used a parking structure and that probably would have gotten us a little closer.

The food is good. There are no arguments with the taste of the items that we ordered. We loved the falafel and that was the highlight of the meal. However, let’s get one thing straight here. The batatas mikliyeee was a plain plate of French fries with ketchup and that really annoyed me. We all had expectations of a traditional Lebanese potato dish and didn’t expect that. Otherwise, the prices were decent and the service was good.

The best Mediterranean restaurant. The best portions. The best service… other places give you tiny portions of non-authentic, more hipster-style food. This place is the best, though. Authentic, mom and pop, clean, delicious, affordable!!

Mo at Al Amir was wonderful to work with for our catering order. He was easy to communciate with, flexible and accomodating when our plans shifted the day-of, and the food was awesome. We will definitely cater with him again for our big family events!

Amazing. Moe is all about giving each customer friendly service. He does it all even before you ask. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Such a fun place. We had a little of everything on the menu. You really can’t go wrong. This is a great place for an intimate date or a company party. Honestly this is the best Lebanese food I have had. Had a blast with my friends!
