Breakfast Menu "Mediterranean Grill" Happy Valley

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!

We had a funeral lunch at this restaurant and all 35 people were VERY happy with the food, service, location. We highly recommend Mediterranean grill! Can't say enough great things about this restaurant!

Five stars for the friendly service and chat we had with the owner. The portions are huge, food is tasty, and they have donuts!

My kids love the donuts here. The owners are so friendly and remember the kids every time we come in.

This is a food experience like no other.. This food doesn't just feed your stomach, it feeds your soul. I literally had happy feet underneath the table while I ate this meal, And just when I didn't think it could get any better the owner walks up and asks me would you like some dessert. And I'm like no you can't top this, this was phenomenal this meal was absolutely incredible. He looks at me and smiles and says you must try my homemade pistachio ice cream, it took me over 9 months to perfect. How do I say no to that? He brings out this dish of ice cream with little tuffs of whipped cream Sprinkled with little teeny crunchy candy. Completely blown away. I don't care how far away you live make it a trip, And treat yourself to some of the best food in Oregon.

The owner is very friendly and will help guide you through the menu. The food is amazing! From the appetizers to the entrees to the deserts, everything we had was fantastic. We went back twice in two days because it was so terrific.

The chicken shawarna was probably the best I've ever had. Same with the falafel. The couple serving us was so kind. It was like we were guests in their living room. So much love in that place and you can taste it in the food. And surprisingly affordable for the quality.

Everything homemade, authentic, and delicious! Fadi told us all about how he faithfully reproduces his grandmother's cooking and he clearly takes pride in serving excellent food. Can't wait to return!
