This place is doing Mediterranean food a great service. Wow, we had heard great things from friends about this spot and it certainly lived up tot he hype. We came in for a celebratory dinner last week and had a reservation for the back patio. I’d definitely encourage reservations as the place fills up quickly. The inside of the restaurant had a charming rustic decor and smelled amazing with aromatic spices wafting from the kitchen. We were seated on the back patio which is a quaint space with a wood overhang and probably about 8 tables. It was a perfect evening and warm enough to enjoy eating outside. I’ll note they do have heaters for cooler nights. Food wise we went with the fried chicken, corn bread, corn ribs, peaches, burnt end hummus and the kebab. Everything was fantastic. Standouts were definitely the hummus, which maybe was the best I’ve ever had, as well as the fried chicken. Everything had rich flavor and was easy to share which was perfect. The drinks we had were also tasty and added to the meal. The service overall was solid. Waiter was attentive and helped determine the right number of dishes. I would say you can get away with probably a few more than recommended. We were initially told 4 plates would be good but got 6 and wound up being full but still happy we got an extra 2. Will definitely be going back here and can’t wait to try more for the menu!

Radicchio salad was a crowd hit and a must try. The shakshuka is perfect -- not too sweet or acidic, well balanced and spiced. The falafel is full of flavor. In short, if you're craving good Mediterranean food, this is a spot to try. Great ambiance and service.

Rarely do I rate anything 5 stars.. I would give them 6 stars if I could! Yalla in Multnomah Village serves the best homemade hummus I’ve ever had.. super light and creamy, with a perfectly puffed piece of naan, so flavorful I just loved it. Extensive bar menu, I also tried their turmeric Mediterranean falafels with the most amazing, made from scratch sauces.. can’t recommend enough! Service was so welcoming and prompt, and the interior has a cool vintage vibe. They really care about serving amazing food and welcoming their customers, what a joy to eat here!

My husband and I recently ate here for our anniversary. We are huge foodies and have a fairly broad familiarity of the Portland food scene. Every single dish we ordered was fabulous. He is following a low carb diet and we were able to find lots of delicious things to eat for him and not feel like we were missing out. The cocktail that I had was also very good and I wasn’t sad to have the dessert all to myself.

Flavorful foods, with knowledgeable friendly staff. This place is known for shareable plates, but I thought the portions were a bit small.

It's a pretty good place to get some Mediterranean food with a twist. The place has both indoor and covered patio seating, as well as a small bar area. We sat in the heated back patio. I really did enjoy the hummus with burnt beef ends and the lamb & beef Kebab. The fried chicken was nice and crispy, and the cornbread was rich in flavor. The drinks were also made pretty well. Overall, a great experience.

Very rarely but I was so impressed by how delicious the food here was! It was absolutely the best pita I’d ever had - effusing aroma and sweetness of the grains - and paired with one of the best hummus. The fried chicken was no less impressive - so juicy and flavorful. And how wonderful it was to end with a slice of basque cheesecake made just right. Will come back!

Such incredible food, from the side dishes to the main dishes. You could tell the amount of care the restaurant puts into their dishes. I never expected to order the fried chicken, but I did and I highly recommend it! I can’t wait to go back soon and try other items.
