"This Northeast Portland Iraqi restaurant is home to both a front and back patio, the building flanked by eye-catching murals. Diners devour lamb keema or crispy, doughnut-shaped falafel under the covered, heated patio, or out in the front courtyard steps from the bustle of Alberta. On chillier, rainier days, it’s best to warm up with a cup of cardamom coffee; on warmer days, snack on meze in the sunshine." - Thom Hilton, Eater Staff
