Shalom Y’all is quickly becoming a favorite of mine in Portland’s Inner Southeast. The menu showcases Eastern Mediterranean flavors, and the salads and hummus we tried were spot-on. But the real highlight was the grilled lamb—easily one of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is intimate, making it ideal for a date night. Dim lighting and candles add to the ambiance.
If you’re looking for a dining experience that offers both flavor and atmosphere, Shalom Y’all delivers on both fronts. Between the top-notch food and the cozy setting, it’s easy to see why this spot is gaining popularity. A heads-up: the place is popular, so making a reservation in advance is a good idea.
Such delicious food! The fries truly are exceptional. They are perfectly seasoned and an ideal texture. The horseradish yogurt + beet ketchup that comes with them is so unique and delightful! We all loved the hummus with lamb as well. The house made pita is a delicious bread pillow. We tried the Shalom Y’all Plate (not pictured) and enjoyed getting a sampler of many of their items. The falafel were truly standout - maybe the best I’ve ever had. The chicken shawarma was a bit disappointing - chicken seemed dry and it could use a sauce/more flavor. But everything else was outstanding so I just wouldn’t order that again.
This has become our favorite restaurant in Portland! We have been twice to the previous tiny location across the street from Tasty n Alder; and usually there was a long wait. This time, the new location is much bigger and we could make reservations the day of.
Food is amazing, quite tasty, and great for sharing across the table. Everything we tried was incredible, from appetizers, to main entrees to desserts. And every time we have been, it seems to get better and better!
Just beware of the train tracks when getting there if coming from downtown Portland. There are ways to get around it though.
