“The portion sizes here are just insane. I have never been handed such a gyro this big anywhere else. The hummus plate comes with enough hummus for a large family. Oh, and the lamb was perfectly seasoned.Something about the tzatziki sauce didn't sit quite right with me, but I don't think it was prepared poorly. I just think their tzatziki isn't quite my style.My family will certainly be returning.“
“The staff is friendly and efficient. I've been four or five times and the girl at the register knew my order after just one visit. Nothing special for seating but it is called 2 Go so grab your meal and head on out.Dietary restrictions: You don't think about dairy free much but exchanging taziki with tahini is a great option.“
“I loved the atmosphere they created. They even went as far as to decorate the bathrooms with the same aesthetic. The mood setting was lovely, from the overhead lights to the mini tableside lamps, to the comfortable booths and chairs, the leather-bound menus, as well as the waiters kindness and amicableness. The 3 plates we ordered to share were perfect and quite delightful! Compliments to the prep cooks and chefs! I wouldn't change anything.The Mezza Platter Sampler was a perfect appetizer, my personal favorite was the Baba Gannouj. I loved the creamyness and slight tang that it had. But they were all a great try! We had it along with the Queen's Karak (hot saffron milk tea) and it was a perfect tummy warmer along with the freshness of the platter. It was quite aromatic and earthy and creamy all at the same time. Make sure to continuously stir, as it's hot and the spices fall to the bottom, making a delightful tongue punch to end the cup with.The "friday special" Lamb Shank Mandi was an absolutely delicious main entrée, with it's smoked lamb shank, aromatic rice, spiced and spicy dipping sauce and their vegestable stew. All the flavors mixed so perfectly together and filled us up quite nicely.We ended our lovely night in this cozy, beautiful atmosphere with a Date Cake & Ice Cream dessert. The nuts on top were a perfect flavor and crunch alongside the creamy, vanilla carmel ice cream, and the date cake underneath was a perfect pair to the rest of the dessert. Be careful ordering one; you'll get addicted and want more. I did, but unfortunately I was too full of the rest of the yummylicious Saudi Arabian food to get another. (Don't take the stick out of the ice cream, just eat around it carefully. It keeps the ice cream on top of the cake perfectly; no details forgotten.)Vegetarian options: There is one vegetarian appetizer that I saw and one vegan main entrée that I saw. The flavors and aromatics are to die for, so try it once, and if it's not the best, at least you tried it.Dietary restrictions: Dietary Restrictions? Bring your eating pants; everything is worth it and delicious.Parking: Free street parking after a certain point of time in the night; might have to walk a couple of blocks.Paid street parking during the day. If you can order and consume everything in under 2 hours, might be your best choice financially as the lots and garages are pretty pricey. Otherwise you can always move your vehicle and pay for another 2 hours on a different street.Paid lots and garages are scattered about along the streets. Current pricing is $6.00 first hour and $14.00 all day to my knowledge. Could change as years progress.Kid-friendliness: Well-behaved kids at this establishment... Not meant for the rowdy bunch. If you know, you know.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely wheelchair accessible; all on the first floor.“
“The cauliflower/eggplant wrap left me at a loss for words; it is among the best things I've eaten this year. I thought i knew eggplant, but it turned out, I do not. The labne was also a wonderful surprise, ending up somewhere between the texture of Greek yogurt and cream cheese. The cup of tea while waiting for the order was unexpected and a lovely gesture.Update - have returned several times - really a standout in Vancouver's downtown options - kindest people, incredible food.“
“One of the best classy Mediterranean restaurants in Portland! Creative menu, flavorful food & cocktails. You’d never go wrong with any food you order. Love the Affogato here as well.! Must try. Service is amazing & everyone is really kind here. Will definitely go back!“

“I stumbled across Cedo’s a few years ago when I moved to Portland. I looked around at what everyone else was eating, ordered a falafel sandwich with the signature potatoes + hot sauce, and my mind was forever blown. I’ve since also developed great affection for the tabbouleh & hummus sandwich, which is super fresh and delicious (and packs a lemony punch). Eat here if you like local, homemade food in the coziest, friendliest spot around. ❤️“

“Been trying to eat here for 5 years every time I have been in Portland visiting friends (we always end up somewhere else). FINALLY came with the intention to eat here and the food is fantastic. So glad it lived up to expectations I built up in my head. I gotta say, if Iraqi food is like this, it's my new favorite food.“
“My family and I had lunch here on Sunday this last weekend, the food was amazing, the staff/owners clearly put a great deal of effort and care into the preparation of the food and it shows. They were so welcoming and attentive; the food was fantastic and portions plentiful. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks!“
“First-timers today. We ordered the Big Lamb Gyro, dolmas and french fries, and are very happy to recommend this place. Portions were large and the food was extremely fresh, but the thing that impressed me and raises Omar’s versions above other similar places was his seasoning. Subtle, not overpowering, but distinctive. Dolmas touched with just enough lemon, gyros well-balanced with tzatziki, hot sauce and some other flavors I couldn’t quite identify, subtle flavoring of the lamb. I was prepared for a pretty standard, ho-hum gyro, but this was much more. Worth a return trip.“
“Ate lunch here today with 4 people. The food came out super fast, was hot and fresh, and smelled amazing. The taste for sure held up to the look and smell, it was amazing with great portion sizes. All 4 of us said we would come back again. We can't wait to try more options. Looking forward to trying the Greek Fries.Parking: Lots of easy parking“
“My family and I were super hungry and didn't want to make dishes. We had just got a few groceries at Fred Meyer and saw this little restaurant around the corner. The atmosphere was clean and lovely, the food was so good and authentic, and the family was kind and helpful. Both my young kids devoured their meals. There are these chicken wrap things, I don't remember what they were called, but they were awesome! The owner's son was there and even took the initiative to put on a movie for my kids. We will definitely be back.“
“Amazing food! We had the platter that comes with all the favorites and it was the best Mediterranean food we’ve ever had! Highly, highly recommend. And the family working there was super nice to us, even with our toddler doing toddler things.“

“The food was phenomenal and flavorful. They made our food fresh to order and you can tell they appreciate every single customer. Love and affectionate was their main ingredient. We have traveled throughout the states and hands down, they are the best gyros thus far. Definitely coming back to this place before we hit the road again.“
“I love this restaurant! I come here any time I'm in the area.The food is excellent and comes out quickly. The staff are friendly and the bartender makes great cocktails!Dietary restrictions: Great Gluten Free options and some of the best GF pita I've ever had!“
“We have been going to Falafel Express since they were at their original location off 99. This is a small family owned business, Abu Muhammad and his family have been offering excellent authentic Palestinian cuisine since they first opened and probably the only one of its kind locally. My favorite dish by far is Chicken Shawarma whether as a chicken Arabi, wrap or plate form, it is special to the Gaza region, he prepares it from scratch and it is delicious, if you have time I would recommend his Kebabs they are excellent and made to orders so freshness is guaranteed, his prices are very reasonable for the generous portions he offers, their service is fast and offer great customer service. Highly recommended!“
