Best Lebanese food in the world! Can’t get enough. And great prices. They have gluten free bread!

Sky T

This is my favorite Lebanese restaurant in Portland! They even have gluten free pita bread, and their food is just so delicious. I always order the salmon kabobs, and the fallafal, cause it's so good! Highly recommend if you're looking for a Greek style restaurant with gluten free options.

I cannot emphasize enough on the fact that Malek Egyptian Cuisine creates and delivers on some of the BEST food I’ve EVER had in the many years I’ve lived (and in the many places I’ve lived and traveled to 👌🏽🥇!) Every single dish that I’ve tried from Malek is a flavor explosion on dancing across my palette (and I’ve tried just about all of their “Mac” & koshari dishes and all I can say is WOW! 😮 ). Just in case you don’t know this about Malek, what you should know is that all the ingredients they use are organic, grass-fed, hormone-free, GMO-free & gluten-free (their organic, grass-fed cheese is friggin IMPORTED for crying out loud 😳 🤯!). And don’t even get me started on their scrumdiddily-umptious dessert they have aptly named their “Date Me” dish (I’m salivating just thinking about those yummy, nutrient-dense, superfood-packed squishy little date balls 🤤!). And not only is their food DELICIOUS, but everyone who works at this gem of a restaurant are all so incredibly kind and thoughtful, that it might leave you wondering if they might be from another planet 🤔. And yes! Everything about Malek Egyptian Cuisine is THAT amazing 🤩!

Exactly like the name implies this is a great spot for a fast and fresh lunch or dinner. There are so many different options for bowls and salads that you could eat here everyday for weeks without repeating! I love the chicken with lemon tahini sauce with golden beets and carrots. The food is pre-made so you just pick your options down the line, super fast with a friendly helpful staff to help you with your choices. It's a great place if you are gluten free, almost everything is gluten free. The only negative for me is the single use drink cups, they have reusable silverware it would be nice to have cups as well : )

Colin Mosgrove

Holy shit. Service - amazing. Atmosphere - so warm, inviting, and community oriented. THE FOOD? Blew my mind. The GLUTEN FREE BAKLAVA? I transcended the boundaries of my physical body when I took my first bite. I am now changed forever

Moxie Loeffler

Delicious fresh vegetables, and amazing gluten-free pita. Also really good soup!

Faith Purvis

Was in the area and stopped in for a quick bite - and was very impressed! Their stuffed grape leaves and lentil soup are some of the best I’ve ever had. Sooo perfectly flavorful, I felt both the soup and grape leaves had a more nuanced flavor than at many Mediterranean restaurants I have been to. Just delicious. The falafel was darned good too. I am veggie and gluten free and there was plenty for me to choose from on the menu. I will definitely be coming back!

Aaron Johnson

Great place to get tasty Mediterranean food! The pita plate was smaller than in the past but still good. They have Gluten Free pita bread too which is cool.

Terry Harper

Always a good meal at Olive garden. I wish they had more gluten free items to choose from.

Marie T

A lovely little place, hours are reasonable. About a 14 minute drive from IKEA. They have been pretty good about making the food gluten free.

Michelle Hamilton

I ordered a veggie platter which had tabouli, 2 falafels, hummus, 2 dolmas, and tzatziki sauce. I added a gluten free naan which I had before and it had been good. This time the naan was hard. I took it back to the counter and he had the waitress bring another one to me. It was more chewy than the last time I had it on a previous visit, chewy almost hard but not as hard as the first that one they served. No one came back to check and see if it was ok. The food was ok other than that, not as flavorful as other places I’ve eaten

Ashli Quintela

Lydia was our server tonight and she took such great care of us, we felt like we were her own kids the way we were chatting it up tonight. She is so personable and fun. The food was spectacular! Nearly everything on this menu is actually gluten free and I was unafraid to eat 90% of this menu! Gorgeous restaurant and actually used to be a speakeasy within the area. Expand your pallet and give the Lebanese tour a chance, it’s a little bit of everything and really gives you the chance to taste it all. Really was the perfect meal for two to share and fills you up. Make sure to mention if you do have a gluten allergy as they can provide you with pita chips so you’re still included in having a dipping item for all the great sauces you will endure. Definitely will be back.

Ali Cannon

Great restaurant! Their fryer is dedicated gluten free so most of their menu can be made gf. Had the vegetable cheese quiche and some fried chicken! So good! Lovely kid + pet friendly patio. Great shady spot to escape the heat

Eva Varaksa

High customer service, great food and amazing atmosphere. Gluten free friendly!

Melissa Mattson

Really good food and huge portions! Great bang for your buck. Almost everything is gluten free.

Gabriela

I had a fantastic lunch here over the weekend! I have celiac, and was delighted to learn that everything on the menu except the pita and the baklava was gluten free. We tried the falafel rice platter and the hummus with veggies instead of pita. Both were delicious and so flavorful! The owner was really friendly as well. I look forward to coming back!

Sydney Stirling

Delicious, authentic, fresh meals. Great customer service. Highly recommend for anyone (vegans, omnivores, gluten free). I am vegan and they had great options. My partner is not vegan and they also had great options for him as well. Will definitely be going back.

Amber Throssel

Great food, meat veggie vegan and gluten free options. Great service and atmosphere. Must try.

Ren Prince

I'd give more stars if I could! The staff was very kind, the restaurant was cute, and the food was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease but there were tons of gluten free options (the gf pita was divine). I also accidentally left my phone in the booth after dinner, but they went out of their way to catch up to me and make sure I didn't leave it behind. A wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Melissa Wear

This is one of my favorite restaurants! They have a hugr variety of gluten free and dairy free options. They are knowledgeable about the menu and willing to modify dishes, when possible, to meet my dietary restrictions.

Lauren Wylie

Great catering! Had a fantastic experience catering a dinner for 70 staff and it was delivered. Delivery was ontime and they did all the set up! I needed t have Gluten free & vegetarian options and they had a great variety for the staffs dietary needs. The manager Angela was great to deal with and had great customer service. If you need to feed a lot of people that is affordable - this is the place! Great food & customer service!

Mark Rafter

There is a reason these restaurants are consistently popular. Excellent food options and soup, salad and bread sticks that are worth the trip alone. Even the gluten free pasta is a notch above.

Rene Parsons

Our waiter in the dining area was lacking in skills. Our salad bowl was empty for a long time and was suppose to be all you could eat. No gluten free options, sadly.

CJ

Excellent food and best grilled octopus we’ve ever had! Very gluten free accommodating for my partner, pictured marked menu

V Lau Gautam

We ALWAYS love dining here. They were training today, but were impeccable with the service--especially with 7 of us. It's also been years since we ate at Olive Garden & I was pleasantly surprised that they offered gluten free rotini these days! 10/10 (I knocked off a star due to one time getting food poisoning after eating a tiramisu at this location)

Cyan Gleason

10/10! Love the clearly labeled vegan & gluten-free options, comforted my soul! Very kind staff as well

Joel Birchler

Delicious. Also safe for gluten sensitive folks.

Teru Stalcup

The food was great! They have gluten free options! The price for dinner was great with plenty of leftover food. The garlic sauce is legit. Be prepared for death breath.

Sarah Archuleta

We had truly one of the worst customer service experiences ever at this place. We had the rudest waitress. Our large party called ahead of time to request to go over the normal allowed limit. Our request was approved but the waitress who had us was PISSED at our table size despite us being kind customers. She scoffed at two of us for asking for gluten free options. At the end, our group organizer asked her if we had upset her and she said “ACTUALLY yes, you are breaking our table size rule” and went off about it, then told us she wouldn’t continue taking care of us and we had a switch off of servers. The whole table was appalled. We ordered plenty of dishes with a large check and were friendly. Our two families will never recommend this place because of this waitress

Lauren Lo Bue

This food is phenomenal. It’s the best Middle Eastern food I’ve had. I’ve been here three times. They make gluten free pita, too, which is such a treat for me!! It’s really yummy. Being able to have a shawarma wrap in pita for the first time in years is amazing. The lamb shank dish was so flavorful and complex, I couldn’t stop eating it even after I was beyond full. The lamb fell off the bone and the broth was so rich, such perfectly balanced sour and salt and a touch of umami. Even the salad is incredible flavorful.

Lori Albright

Gluten free wrap! I will be here often!!

Maryann Spady

Lots of gluten free options. I love their hummus. So good and they bring veggies instead if the bread when you order it gluten free

Sharon Tyler

I have been here twice in the last week, prior to this I had never tried it. I am hooked! And the ladies working, you rock! I get the gluten free wrap and it is phenomenal.

R W

This place ROCKS! The food is always delicious, the service is wonderful, and it's a beautiful little restaurant to boot! Great gluten-free options!

Daniel Aronow

Ordered gluten free roting pasta, came out less than half a plate full. This isn't the only time that this has happened.

Camillia de la Garza

Lovely as always. Great wine. Great for sharing. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options.

Nathan Hale

We love getting Hush Hush for team lunches! My team has several vegans, a pescatarian, someone who is gluten free, and another who is lactose intolerant. Finding a place to eat together can be challenging. Hush Hush had amazing food for everyone. Also, the folks working there are super nice and fast!

Rachael Liddell

We came on a busy Friday night and sat at the bar, we asked for recommendations and the bartender gave us options. We went with the steak & lamb kabobs, and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. I have a gluten allergy and he was very attentive to me. He even offered vegetables instead of pita bread with our appetizer. The staff works hard and it shows, I highly recommend! Try the falafel if you are gluten free, it was amazing.

Elyse Douglas

Very cute spot! The space has a great relaxed vibe & service was top notch. They have gluten free options which is why we drove from Grants Pass to check it out.

Karasi Mills

Oh my gosh, I used them for catering for a group of about 35 people. It was so much more food than I had even hoped for, they were on time and delivered it to our meeting space. Multiple people told me it was the best conference food they had ever had. I will *always* use them for future meetings, and I know at least two people who attended my conference used them for catering already! I can’t wait to try a meal at their restaurant. The best Mediterranean food ever, and lots of gluten free and vegetarian options, too!

Joca

First time at Cafe Agora and everything was delicious! Customer service was great, food came out quick also! I really appreciate that they offer gluten free/vegan options too. Will definitely be back! :)

Breazy Wirth

Rom’s has everything! Gluten-free, vegan, lavender lemonade, lamb gyros, burgers, the best garlic fries you’ve ever had in your life. The whole family can find something to eat here. Everything is impeccable. I’ve eaten here many times and never had any issues with anything. Our whole family gives her five stars and it’s really hard for us to agree on a place to go.

Joanna Brook

We arrived early on Saturday night without a reservation and were graciously and immediately served at the bar. The meal was perfectly cooked and completely delicious. The kitchen was able to accommodate my tomato allergy. It was fun to watch the bartender make all the pretty drinks. Romantic last minute choice. The only thing I would change would be to have a chocolate gluten-free dessert option. Thank you. We’ll be back.

Crista Lawson

I’m new to Eugene and gluten free, so I have yet to discover the best eats in town. Generally I haven’t been impressed, but the food here was AMAZING! I should have snapped a photo before digging in, but alas my delicious half-eaten meal. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about — a little crowded and a small indoor seating area with a larger sunroom/patio. I sat in the patio area, but it was a little “lonely” feeling and I wish they had more seating inside. They should at least put some speakers out there to carry the music and personality through. Overall, I highly recommend Tradewinds for the food — best I’ve tried in the area so far!!!

Rebecca Wilson

Delicious food. Gluten-free friendly. Attentive service. Thank you!

Debbie Morley Springer

This little restaurant deserves five stars for their personalized service, and food that seems to be primarily homemade. I’m not sure if it’s completely from scratch, but they do appear to put a lot of effort into keeping their customers satisfied. A friend was visiting from Washington DC and she’s gluten-free, while I need to be MSG free and eat food mostly made from scratch. We settled on trying a new Mediterranean place that had 4.5 stars. We were given quite a large menu and ordered hummus and stuffed grape leaves for an appetizer. I found both to be delicious, and I am still craving their grape leaves. I live up in Vancouver, so I can’t pop over real easily, but every time I go by I might well get an order! For my entrée I ordered the falafel sandwich and it was huge! There is no way I could eat it in one sitting. I would ask for more tahini next time, as I did find it rather dry. But the falafel were perfectly cooked. My friend ordered the lamb kebab plate, but ended up getting too full to eat the second kebab. She sent it home with me, and I have to admit it was not my favorite when I tried it the next day. However, I loved the family service atmosphere, the care the family put into their food and making us happy. We had mentioned that my friend was visiting from Washington DC and the cook ended up coming out after our food was served. He wanted to know how his food compared to what she would get back east. We had a lively conversation, and he insisted that we try his homemade special pistachio ice cream. We found the ice cream to be incredibly delicious, and it seem to me to be a vanilla base with fresh crushed pistachios. In the past I’ve tried other pistachio ice cream and have never been a fan. But I am a fan of his ice cream! We both loved it and told him so! What a surprise to find that they also made donuts as it also looks like a donut store when you first walk in. I did order some donuts to take home as a surprise, but we found them to be made of a denser dough then we prefer, and the dough to frosting ratio wasn’t to our preference. However, I’m sticking to my five stars as our food was quite tasty, and I never got hit with MSG. of course, I’m always careful with what I order, but I was pleased with my food. Most importantly my friend a greatly enjoyed her meal as well, and the leftovers were very tasty. I rate an extra star for any location that takes extra special care in the quality of ingredients in their food, as well as the attention to detail in careful preparation. While this restaurant is quite tiny, only having seven or eight tables, and is primarily visited by those who have ordered to go or getting donuts, it was still comfortable to eat our meal in there. I’m not sure that I would visit when it’s very cold outside, because I can see any warm air leaving out the door whenever it is opened. Good thing I don’t mind ordering ahead to take the food home!

Jessica Bengtson

Better than the tapas I had in Spain! Highly recommend ordering whatever the server recommends. Everything was flavored to perfection, there were so many gluten free options, and the atmosphere is so eclectic and cute. This was the best restaurant in Newport that I’ve been to!

Jennifer Secord

I absolutely can not say enough good things about this restaurant!! I loved every bit of it. It feels nice and up scale as you walk in. Perfect for a nice date night. It has a beautiful blue mix tile floor with a dim lighting but is cozy but still had enough light to talk with my husband and read the menu. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I informed her that I was gluten-free. She gave me a lovely recommendation of sparkling wine to pear with my pork. The food is full of flavor. My husband and I ordered a little bit of everything, and every dish was more lovely than the next. We will most definitely be back! Thank you for everything ❤️
