This place is a hidden gem in Downtown Portland PDX! Incredible Mediterranean food, I can’t even begin to describe the tastes of the food here. The kitchen is run by Lebanese chefs aka the owner’s wife, which makes every bite authentic. Definitely THE BEST Middle Eastern food I’ve eaten outside of the middle east. The interior design makes you feel comfortable while you eat some of the best food of your life. The service was outstanding, from the initial moment we entered until we left, the employees’ were very attentive. Doesn’t get much better than incredible food and great service. I will recommend this place to everyone! The desserts were so good, we couldn’t stop eating. MUST TRY the cotton candy ice cream and rice pudding. Five start all the way around.
The food is incredible.
The service is very fast.
The atmosphere vibes are amazing.
I highly recommend it.
The ambiance of this restaurant was very nice, modern but warm and inviting. The staff was also very nice and accommodating. The food was very good and all very authentic. The avocado hummus and lentil soup were amazing. The dessert was superb. Best baclawa I've ever had, and the cotton candy ice cream is not what you would expect I recommend you try it! Even the rice pudding was different in a good way, it was aromatic of jasmine tea. So good!
Great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. I enjoyed coming into AL Hawr and plan to visit again. The owner is great and very welcoming.
I was visiting my daughter and son in law from Palm Springs CA. They raved about this restaurant and with great reason. Honestly, it was the best Lebanese food I have even eaten. Everything we ordered was delicious! The falafel was the best I ever eaten. It is a family run restaurant and the service was warm and friendly! The owner is gracious and friendly. I cannot wait to return! The Lebanese wine was a winner!
We had such a delightful meal at this restaurant. The service was very courteous, the ambience was very cozy but classy and the food was mind blowing. The mint lemonade was just the way we like it and the ginger beer was great too. The beet hummus was delicious and pita was really soft. Batata harara was oh so good- crunchy from the outside, soft from the inside- my husband even asked them how they cook it so perfectly and the owner (I believe) even explained to us how they cook it! The chicken kebabs dish we ordered was also on point. Chicken was cooked perfectly again and the rice was also very flavorful. My daughter also ordered their molten chocolate cake with ice cream and she said it was the best dessert she ever tasted. Quite clearly, we were beyond stuffed. Highly highly recommend!
I honestly loved the vibe in this restaurant, the decoration is excellent so it is an excellent choice for your special days ( Birthday, Valentine, New Year, etc ) the food, service, and cleanliness level were all excellent!
The Lebanese guy(wearing a red sweater in the picture)who serviced us was extremely kind and helpful! I am so grateful for what he has done for me on my birthday, he provided a very lovely and delicious milkshake topped with cotton candy ( picture attached ).
Everything was amazing, it deserves to give it a try!
Thank you Alhawr Restaurant for the beautiful night.
Never thought I would have authentic Lebanese food as good as my mom’s and even better! It is 100% like home and much better! The service is wonderful, the quality is superb, decorations and style made me feel just like home.
I came from California to Portland for a visit, and I was recommended by a friend to try out this restaurant, and I can’t be more thankful for this recommendation.
We didn’t try anything that wasn’t good or that was just “ok”, everything exceeded expectations.
Shadi served us coffee and knefe on the house.
Thank you so much El Hawr for the wonderful meal, I hope we get back one day.
Al Hawr is absolutely spectacular! The food is not only the best I’ve had in Portland, but some of the best ever! A family run restaurant, the owners take pride and care in food, service and atmosphere. Now a regular here, I highly recommend!
I can not say enough how amazing this establishment is. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The owner and his son are truly amazing people. The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating. It feels like family. The food oh the food. Delicious doesn’t begin to describe the food. They have an array of wines and specialty cocktails. I would recommend anyone to check them out. You will not be disappointed!
