Ya Hala Owner Mirna Attar Is Revisiting Her Memories of Lebanon in a Prix Fixe Menu | Eater Portland
"I note that Mirna and John Attar opened Ya Hala in 1999 after Mirna immigrated to Portland in 1983, and for 24 years in the Montavilla neighborhood she has been cooking Lebanese dishes such as baba ganoush, kafta kabobs, and tabbouleh at a time when Lebanese restaurants were scarce in the city." - Janey Wong
