Mediterranean Exploration Company

Excellent meal!!! I was there with my wife and daughter, and we started out with the crispy lamb hummus and the chicken meatballs for appetizers, both of which were great. My wife and daughter shared the chermoula rubbed shrimp and the hanger steak, with rave reviews from both, while I enjoyed the Adana lamb kebab. I had a cocktail When Doves Cry which was spicy and perfect for me! Service was good but not over attentive.

I brought my friends from Greece here for dinner. I've never seen them impressed by food here in the states. This was by far my favorite restaurant of all time. We were suggested to order 2 plates per person and share. I would like to suggest that everyone strategically select plates so that the meal is balanced. I recommend the morel hummus, the grilled octopus (I don't even normally like octopus), and the blackberry feta dish. Be adventurous when ordering, I tried 9 dishes, and I loved each and every one of them.The staff is fantastic. They made the experience one that I'll never forget. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Portland.

The Turkish coffee is to die for. The grilled octopus was the best I’ve had in the USA and overseas. Lamb chops was superb. Big shoutout to Elliot and the staff ??.Food: 5/5

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants of all time, this is most definitely the place to bring friends and share plates. Highly recommend the salmon, radicchio salad and humus with pita. You won’t be disappointed. Reservations are a must for this very popular restaurant. There is a fabulous outdoor seating area or an inside bar area, if you prefer.

Loved the food and the ambience.The service was good.Falafel was simply amazing. One of the best falafel ever had.Lamb Adana kebab was flavorful and juicy.The portion size was less as compared to the Price.Majedra was nice but little on a dry size.Roasted eggplant baba ganush) was amazing and so was the pita bread.The portion size is less as compared to the cost.Definitely must visit place.
