From the very beginning when we met Ghaith and Kelly, we loved their warmth, passion, and dedication to what they do. And then we tasted the food and wow, absolutely everything was delicious!! They were just wonderful to work with – catering our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and creating a beautiful event from start to finish. The presentation was gorgeous and everyone commented on how amazing the food was! Cannot rave enough about their catering – definitely recommend!!!

A visit to this halal restaurant was a celebration of phenomenal flavors. Had the chance to indulge in the mixed kebab platter at this halal restaurant and I was absolutely blown away. The dish was an orchestra of flavors, perfectly grilled and seasoned. Highly recommended!

The food is huge, but I forgot to take a picture before eating! I had the mixed grill and my husband had the lamb shank. Mine was lovely, and my husband’s lamb was falling apart!

We wanted to try something different so we stopped in for dinner on the patio. The decor and music definitely reflected a Middle Eastern ambiance. Friendly service and the owner dropped by our table to chat. The food was nicely presented but we wished the food was even more flavourful. Maybe the spices are toned down to appeal to more diners? Anyhow we had a good dining experience and enjoyed our falafel platter and mixed kebabs.

For all the years we’ve been in Portland, DarSalam remains a fantastic dinner spot. The starters and plates are all delicious and incredibly filling. We always leave stuffed. The beer is delicious, love that cardamon.

Best lamb we’ve ever had; a perfectly portioned plate of ghanoush, rice, salad and meat. The food here is full of flavor in every bite. The soup is delicious and hummus fresh. Excellent service, clean facility and beautiful ambiance.

As if someone’s Iraqi grandma is cooking for her favorite relative, and you got an invite to the meal. Everything is made with tender loving care. Totally worth the price. I’m looking forward to the next visit.

It’s a cute little restaurant. They had a slideshow of historical and interesting sights. The music was also fun to listen to. This was our first time trying Iraqi food and although we didn’t know what to expect, the food was delicious. I wish I had taken a picture. I had the eggplant stew. Very good. We’ll definitely return.
