Awafi Mediterranean cuisine (Halal) — Restaurant in Portland

Was here a few weeks ago and had the BEST meal. I chatted a little with the owner, I believe his name is Ali. The owner Ali does everything and runs the entire business.

As he was cooking, I was looking at his kitchen/cooking setup. The place is kept extremely organized and clean. He had very clean preparation, used gloves, things were kept in the refrigerator until need, all the produce was fresh. The tomatoes were ripe and the lettuce was green and crisp.

A lot of middle eastern places I go to have the rice as an afterthought where the rice may be dry or overcooked, but Awafi's rice was soft and fluffy and perfect. The Tzatziki was creamy and garlicky and full of flavor.

We ordered a lamb plate and a chicken plate. The lamb was spiced well and delicious, but the real standout was the chicken. Some crispy and soft bits and it went so well with the rice and veggies.

Ali gave us a baklava when he heard I was from Hawaii and went out of my way to try them out. The baklava was so good! Soft delicate crispy layers and an intense and sweet center. It all was held together with the gooey sticky sweet topping.

You can tell the effort that is put into this business with how good the ingredients and food is. I wish Awafi's was close to where I lived, I'd be going there at least once...

Having recently moved to Portland, I am excited to bring my expertise as a brand ambassador and my strong communication skills to your team.

I recently visited Awafi food truck in Portland and I can't stop raving about it! The aroma of the spices immediately drew me in, and I was not disappointed. I tried their falafel wrap, and it was one of the best I've ever had—crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy inside, loaded with fresh veggies and a delicious tahini sauce.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the variety on the menu, from savory gyros to refreshing tabbouleh. Each dish is made with high-quality ingredients and bursts with authentic Mediterranean flavors.

If you're in the area, definitely stop by this food truck! It's a gem for anyone craving delicious Mediterranean cuisine on the go. I can't wait to return and try more of...

Awafi is a source of excellent Mediterranean food. All creations are take-out. Their falafel on salad is exquisitely flavored, nourishing, and filling. The falafel medallions have great crunchy outer crusts. There's even white sauce left over for making at-home gyros. Their baklava is not overly soaked. What really shines about the baklava is the 1/2"-thick layer of finely ground, honey-sweetened pistachio, and the Pistachio sprinkles on top....
