Dinner was fantastic. We did the preset menu. The down part is the entire table has to agree on main, it would be nice if you could have a couple of choices, especially if you have a large table. We had a table for 10. Everything that was served prior to main was delicious. Main was also delicious, but serving of main was very small. We had lamb, and it was so good, but it was filled with bones, and we all had a few bites each at best. That was the consensus of the entire table. Would definitely go back, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Drinks were also fantastic!

Great service and atmosphere. A bit overpriced considering their portion sizes and selections. Not saying you need to serve in heaps but there’s room for improvement. The desert we had from the secret menu was not impressive. Hopefully they’ll add more selections in the future.

Had brunch and ordered the shakshuke Verde. My friend has the breakfast plate that was a nice variety of things.. It was good I think I needed more pita. Coffee was good as well. Excellent service and really nice bathrooms.

SO DELICIOUS! especially the cheese melt . Steak was tender and delicious (didn’t enjoy the cold potatoes) and the tomato salad was fantastic. Tusk is a must try

Went here on my birthday and it was amazing. My husband had a reservation and they seated us in the small room in the back. Not sure if that’s common if you have a reservation since it’s my first time here. Love the atmosphere in that area and it’s not too noisy.

Great food, great atmosphere! Servers were very attentive to my boyfriend’s tree nut allergy. I’d recommend ordering the Grand Mezze Platter, enough food for two people and lots of vegetarian options. We will definitely be back next time we’re in Portland!

Went here for birthday dinner. It is an upscale and fancy Mediterranean restaurant with indoor and heated outdoor/patio seating. The vibe was cozy and chill. We ordered mezze platter where the server explained all the little sides. The pita bread was fresh. In mains, we ordered Falafal and Lebnah (comes with two dips) and Chicken skewers with muhamara. Loved the Falafal as it was fresh and tastes good. I wished the chicken skewers were more juicy and flavourful. Quantity is quite little for what you pay(just fancy restaurant things)

Outstanding restaurant. Impeccably prepared food; the spice blends are exquisite. Our brunch was very enjoyable. Pleasant service and reasonable prices. Excellent wine list.

Delicious and excellent and attentive service. It’s clear they use quality ingredients and have inventive takes on Middle Eastern cuisine. That said, the prices are a little on the high side relative to the portion sizes which are smallish relative to price. And nearly every dish is simply way too salty. The flavors are there…worth a visit.
