Excellent Lebanese restaurant. There are several to choose from in the neighborhood, but this is the best by far for value, taste and friendliness of service. Excellent menu selections including delicious lamb that is actually tender, many dips/spreads that are superior to others in terms of seasoning and texture as well as piping hot, fresh pita bread.
There are few places in Portland that have good Lebanese food, but, I found Riyadh's to be the very best including service. Their bread is baked as you watch and wait...YUM!
I tried Riyadh's on the recommendation of a friend and I was not disappointed. The pita was served warm, delicious, and huge, and the hummus is so good it could stop traffic. I ordered a mezza so I could try several things, and it was all delicious. The baba ganoush was really special, much zestier than the smoky flavors I have had at other places. Also, the chandelier in the entry way was absolutely gorgeous!
The service here is VERY slow, to the point that it's a bit disconcerting. It took a long while to even get a menu, and then well over 30 minutes from the time we ordered until we got our food. It seemed like they had only one over-worked waitress for the whole restaurant, which seems absurd and unfair to her. But she was very sweet and helpful and definitely earned her tip. Probably best to go when you're just starting to get hungry, to allow for the extra time.
Great chicken shwarma wrap! I love it when there’s fries in the wrap, that tells you that they know what is good! Their pita is kinda thick tho and I wish it had pickles too.
Five stars is not enough. I had such a wonderful meal and the service was excellent as well.
We ordered hummus, baba ganouj and falafel for appetizers. For dinner I ordered lamb and rice. The lamb was seasoned perfectly. And then I ordered a Turkish coffee because it's the best way to end such an amazing meal. Everything was so very good. I can't wait to come back on my next trip to Portland.
This was a very pleasant meal with delightful service. The food was prepared with lots of flavor and well presented. I enjoyed it all. The kababs, falafel, baba genoush, hummus and tibullee were delicious. My server was a personable and and caring hostess!
Randomly went in here when the plan for Cartopia was way too cold and it was between Lardo, Burgerville, a Thai place and here. Well simply, I have no regrets coming. It was delicious.
Coming in, it was definitely warm, that was the first sign, but you could see the oven cook the food in a nice glass oven that the customers can see. We got seated quickly, but the place was definitely full as we were the last table that was open. The menu was pretty simple and straightforward Lebanese food, you have Schwarma, Gyro, plate, veggie plates, different things.
I got the lamb schwarma, and have no regrets. The service was slightly slow, but I wouldn't complain. I only mention it because it was to a point where I'm sure other's would complain. One of the servers continued to mix up orders in our area, this happened about 3x. Nothing outlandish though.
Back to the food, it was amazing. The lamb peeled off and was full of flavor and juices. It melted into my mouth. The bread, and fries, just everything was awesome together. Whatever sauce with the hummus added the great touch on top. Def would come here again if I were in the area.
This place is amazing, it's cute, the people are so nice and the food is ridiculously good. Most authentic Lebenese food we have had. I wish they built another closet to me, but this is small and seems single family owned. We will be back and have several times.
First time trying Lebanese food and was pleasantly surprised! Everything tasted fresh and delicious but hands down the hummus with the pita is absolutely incredible! I would live on that stuff. Definitely recommend!
The chicken gyro and dolmas were tasty, but they had me at their hummus. Particularly excellent hummus! And the fresh, warm pita was ah-may-zing.
Very delicious food..Lamb Meat was so tender..& tasty ..The price is average & quality of food excellent..
The service was great, the prices were great, and the food was amazing. I highly recommend Riyadh's. It really hit the spot for us. Lots of vegetarian options. The spinach pies were my favorite.
