Where to Eat and Drink on Portland’s Alberta Street
"Set in an old carriage house, the colorful Dar Salam is the place to taste Iraqi food like stuffed onion dolmas and curry-rubbed whole fish, all freshly prepared from scratch and mostly built from family recipes. The restaurant’s smoky baba ganoush is an essential order, as well as the tangy pickled mango salad and crispy falafel, molded into tiny doughnuts for maximum crunchy surface area. Pair your meal with Iraqi beer — extremely difficult to find in the United States — or cardamom-scented coffee." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
