Customer Reviews
Definitely get take-out. Great food, very good service. I've had better chicken schwarma at another place in Portland, but overall I enjoyed this meal. There was a lot of food, could have split it into 2 meals. They have a lot of options too. I recommend trying something new here. Very affordable too.
We came down from Mid Coast to conduct business and checked reviews for Mediterranean food while we were in Portland. The Dina's experience is like going to someone's house for dinner and they cook for you. Authentic, homemade, perfect flavor and even butter brushed on the crust of the baklava. There are refrigerated cases with all the favorite salads and sides and then some. The flat bread is bagged and for sale in baskets and the baklava is kept heated so it's perfectly warm when you bite into it. The wraps are huge, at least a foot long. We had chicken shwarma and the gyro. The owner instructed his employee to make sure the fillings were end to end across so that the patron had a full 1st bite of meat and veg and not just wrap. What you need to know: It's a little hole in the wall, o
Dinas serves exceptional quality, well seasoned flavors, generous portions, and affordable prices for healthy, fresh food. As a vegetarian with a shellfish allergy, this has place been one of the few places I feel confident eating at. I love that they don't hold back with flavors. If you are considering giving this place a try, absolutely do!
Hands down, one of the best Mediterranean meals I’ve ever eaten. The bread was pillowy soft, the dolmas were insanely moist and packed with flavor, and my husband says the shawarma was so good that he wished he ordered more. Everything was incredible. They make the falafel fresh right in front of you, and it was easily some of the most flavorful, perfectly crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside falafel I’ve ever had. This is officially my favorite Mediterranean spot — nothing else compares.
By far, this is an excellent Middle Eastern food spot no matter where you compare it to. The price, quality and quantity is excellent. The food freshness is excellent. The quality of the ingredients is good, and on a random note, the value in the spices they sell is excellent. All this excellence would normally arrive you at five stars, but the only thing holding it back from a five star affordable middle eastern food joint rating is the way the owner speaks to his employees. Having a great food joint is cool, but treating your employees well is even cooler. While I don't think it's terrible, I do believe that the owner is culturally use to different behaviors that are more common someplace else. The food is worth it, but the owner needs to learn how to speak to employees, and that yell
