Darsalam - Portland

This is the best lamb we've ever tasted! The dish was perfectly portioned with creamy ghanoush, fluffy rice, fresh salad, and tender meat. Every bite is bursting with flavor. The soup is fantastic, and the hummus is so fresh. The service is excellent, the place is clean, and the ambiance is lovely. Highly recommend!

This lovely restaurant features a diverse array of delicious dishes prepared by a wonderful family. They offer vegan and gluten-free options, making it accessible for various dietary preferences. Enjoy happy hour on weekdays and choose from a selection of locally brewed Iraqi beers. The drink menu also includes fantastic options for adults.

From the moment we met Ghaith and Kelly, we were struck by their warmth, passion, and commitment to their craft. Then we tasted the food, and wow—everything was absolutely delicious! They were fantastic to work with while catering our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and they helped create a beautiful event from beginning to end. The presentation was stunning, and everyone commented on how incredible the food was! We can't recommend their catering highly enough!

Really enjoyed my first trip here and can’t wait to come back. The staff was fantastic and took the time to go over some of the unfamiliar dishes on the menu. Loved the fresh lemonade and Arab coffee. My friend and I were both really pleased with the food. And on top of everything else it’s a very interesting and beautiful location.

The lentil soup is a macerated version with a drizzle of perhaps olive oil and it is phenomenal. I also ordered the Iraqi shish kabob plate…I love the Iraqi Kefta kabob…this tasted …different…almost like they repurposed hamburger meat…something is off. I loved the fresh squeezed mint lemonade with rose water.
