I moved and still come back - Edit
This is the best Lebanese food in town. I prefer the Gresham or Madison locations. They’re both consistently excellent. There are both vegetarian and vegan options. They are also very willing to swap things to make a dish vegetarian or vegan. I love the Vegetarian Mezza, the Arabian Breeze Mezza, the pita (about 18” diameter), the Lebanese salad, the fried cauliflower, there mini spinach pie (vegan or vegetarian), the Cinnamon Mint Tea (hot or cold), the Mint Lime Lemonade, the Baklava is on point (traditional or the peanut butter chocolate), the Riz Bi Haleeb is a comfort food, and if you’re adventurous, the Knafeh is very good. Just don’t expect it to taste like cheesecake.

Great Middle Eastern Gem - Edit
What a treat! First, they brought out a pita the size of a large pizza and unfortunately, I filled up on it. My husband ordered a Lebanese salad sans feta, which was massive. It had a nice dressing that was light. They left off the olives too which was a bummer. We both ordered a Vegetarian Mezza which had Hummus, tahini, tabouli, falafel, small spinach pie, and veggie grape leaves. The tabouli was incredible and the falafel was a bit dry. But everything else was mind blowing. There was so much food, we needed another table. And we have plenty of leftovers (including half a pita!) We really enjoyed this meal and highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible - 5 STARS - Edit
We enjoyed the Arabian Breeze Mezza, the Veggie Kabob plate, baklava and a whole lot of fresh pita bread. We were in awe of the flavors of everything. Nicholas was one of our favorite spots and actually catered our wedding before we were vegan but I can honestly say the meal we had most recently was our favorite of all time.

Perfect Pita and Satisfying Sampler - Edit
I ordered Lebanese Lentil Soup and Arabian Breeze Mezza. The delicious soup is served with pita chips. The Arabian Breeze Mezza includes hummus, muhamra, caramelized onions mixed with tahini, majadra, fried cauliflower, and falafel. It's a great way to try multiple items. Everything was flavorful, but not spicy.

Outstanding Flavors!! - Edit
Some fantastic vegan options! Really wholesome and high quality ingredients, unique and very flavorful dishes. The red pepper hummus was fantastic-- so smooth and packed with flavor. We also loved the vegan mezza and the veggie kebabs! So many delightful flavors and everything was prepared to perfection! However I would love to see a separate menu for vegans, just because it makes ordering easier for us.

Great - Edit
Went there tonight. The vegan "VGN" choices are clearer on the online menu but still listed on the menu in the restaurant as well. Asked if the free bread is vegan and they said yes. I ordered tabbuli, baba ganoush, and m'jadara and all were excellent & very fresh tasting. Great, quick service. I wasn't super hungry and had enough left overs for lunch tomorrow. Not very many choices in Gresham, will definitely be back!

Great Lebenese for Veggies and Vegans Alike - Edit
Have only eaten here once, but look forward to going back again for sure. My friend and I ate every vegan option we could find, and there were many clearly labeled on the menu. The food is rich, authentic and delicious and the setting and service really set the mood. The fare is pretty standard, but there is nothing standard about the depth of flavours, really excellent vegetarian food here.

Cons: Perhaps a Little Pricey
