"Portland’s most famous Iraqi restaurant, Dar Salam serves its doughnut-shaped falafel and queema, a lamb stew with chickpeas, on both sides of the river. At its Alberta outpost, families eat slow-cooked lamb shanks accompanied by jammy eggplant stew or pickled mango salad. All of Dar Salam’s meats are organic and halal; with its various celebratory dishes, it’s a strong option for iftar." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
