2 middle eastern places in Portland we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Portland | Middle Eastern across every city.

Middle Eastern flavors run through Portland's more adventurous dining rooms, where wood fire and spice anchor a tasting-driven menu. East Burnside and the Kerns area is where the standout sits. Tusk works that bright, vegetable-forward Middle Eastern register on the inner east side.
