Zaatar Fine Lebanese Cuisine - Portland

I am a native in portland and a huge foodie. extremely picky! I rarely take the time to write a review. I also like to eat Lebanese, I have been in other Central Eastern Lebanese restaurants all over town and portland for some time and I am the typical foodie that is in its comfort zone and in the restaurants that I hardly like to change. for some time, I had no Lebanese because I was very disappointed by many other Lebanese, middle eastern restaurants in portland, they simply don't produce the same quality as they well use, that was until I left my comfort zone on Saturday 08/12 and tried zaatar. 1: from the beginning we were greeted with love (I was really amazed at the level of the service that I got here and especially it was not authentic as most of the fake service that they received from others) I felt as if they actually cared for me as a customer and my business and not just a number. many love here. 2: the presentation of the food was like eating in 5 stars michaellin restaurants. very well presented. no restaurant in its category presents so much details (see photos) 3: ingredients were the best quality of the Lebanese or middle Eastern food I have eaten. if they cannot decide to eat the Lebanese restaurant or if you think of the Mediterranean exploration (which is overrated and above the price) further they must see here in the did they want to eat here. this place is addicted. so addicted I came the next day for the Sunday buffet for everything they can eat (what I think was $25 for all they can eat) I was in heaven! heb! what to order: lamb shawarma (see photo below) grape leaves (be careful her looking for) I came back on Saturday and had 6..lol baba ganoush (oh yes, they want this 100% authentic dish) honestly they can't go wrong here. when you visit from the city, you will get a glass of wine and enjoy! wow payouts will come back! Promise you will not be disappointed! best Lebanese in America and in portland!

Amazing eating! really recommend. we tried the falafel salad, hummus with bark meat and a Lebanese pizza with lamb, Lebanese wein and Lebanese beer. a must for portland!

Great authentic aromen, just wish I had more soned (also very good, I ate it just too fast is everything.) I come back.

Wow, some of the best Lebanese foods I've ever had and extra cheap. super fresh. more of this freshly baked pita please.

I have been at lots of different restaurants but this one is the best one, Really good food, the staff are really nice, I love everything about this place.
