Rehana Restaurant

Service to food, this place really delivers the best you can ever hope for. The friendly service--with recommendations that made the meal, to mind-blowing lamb that sets a new bar of expectations. The bread was chewy and so good. The moussaka was another highlight, Even the middle eastern dance music was contributing to the warm vibes that made our afternoon. Best Middle Eastern food I've had yet.

We ordered the beef shawarma and hummus over Iraqi bread, chicken kabob, and gyro saj. The portions are huge and everything was delicious. Definitely coming back. They gave us a free dessert to share at the end. Smaller and more intimate space.

I had a fantastic experience at Rehana Restaurant. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful when it came to choosing from the menu—which, by the way, had several dishes I was eager to try. When I asked what was best, the owner's wife laughed warmly and said it was all good—an answer that made me feel right at home. I ended up going with the eggplant special, as I had been leaning toward it, and she suggested adding a beef kabab to round out the meal. I’m so glad I did—the food was amazing. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and the rice was especially memorable—fluffy, fragrant, and delicious. The beef kabab was tender and full of flavor, and the eggplant dish was a standout. Everything about this place—from the hospitality to the food—made it a standout experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

This place had the best Mediterranean food I've ever had!!! The owners were so lovely and ordered us their favorite dishes. Everything had outstanding flavors and the combinations worked perfectly together. I will for sure be coming back here in the future! 10/10. I highly recommend this place. It's insanely good!

Superwoman lady work there yesterday evening all by herself. I’m impressed that she handled kitchen, 3 table around 10 people, some pick up orders and service all by herself 👍🥗very yummy hot tea 🫖 must tried!

Fantastic meal! I stopped in during a gap in my day as I waited for my mechanic. I love middle eastern food and the reviews were great so I decided to try two entrees to sample. The owner and his wife are fantastic and caring people and very engaging if you like. The food is super fresh and delicious and the portions hearty and price very reasonable. The perfect combination all around. I am very glad to have found Rehana and will return soon.

Genuinely one of the most flavorful, amazing, and tasty lamb shanks I have ever had. Fantastic food, but more so, you are supporting the sweetest family that owns this business.

Randomly popped in for lunch and had a fantastic experience! Delicious and flavorful fresh food, made from scratch and great service. The experience felt very personalized and the food was lovingly put together. Can't wait to come back share with others!

Food was awesome, I got the spicy macaroni and chicken. Portion was huge and food was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly. Can't recommend them enough. Ambiance is cozy, its a small place but there was ample space and seating.

This place is nasty!! Floor is sticky, everything is sticky! I saw the cook, get the knife and wipe it on their pants and go back to cutting. I have no idea how this place is survived health inspections it is by far the most disgusting restaurant I've ever seen!!!! The smoothie/icy machines have a line on them from where they were like three days ago. I'm not even sure they've ever been not even sure any of this place has ever been cleaned. It's nasty.!!!!

Food was amazing! Staff was also fantastic! Would totally recommend this place. Is a bit expensive.

Just go! You won't be disappointed. The food is wonderful. We wanted to try new things and got the Moraco lamb and vegetarian Koba mix. The lamb was juicy, tender in an apricot sweet sauce. The Koba mix had 5 different dishes, yummy to sample each one. The falafel was flavorful, light, crispy and delicious. Sambossas vegge was so delicious, filled with tasty veggies and a slightly spicy dipping sauce. Falafel was flavorful and tasty, ordered more to take home. Great friendly service and delicious food!

Excellent Egyptian and Iraqi food! There were only a handful of tables inside so we were lucky to get the larger table in the restaurant. The husband owner greeted us when we entered and made suggestions on what to order for our table of six since the menu was a bit overwhelming. To start, we got a large Hummus plate with Iraqi bread. The owner brought out the food and let us know to eat the bread while it was warm. The bread was chewy but firm, it went well with the delicious hummus. We also got the Egyptian Mousaka which is stewed vegetables in a vinegar tomato sauce. I love anything vinegar, so I really enjoyed this dish. We also ordered the Mix Kabob Beef and Shawarma Chicken over Hummus, over Iraqi Bread. The kabob was juicy and freshly made, I preferred it over the chicken. There were other chicken dishes that looked better, (like the half chicken or quarter chicken plates) so I would try those next time. Also the Iraqi Lamb Shank was super tender and flavorful, so I highly recommend it. This was such a great meal served by the lovely owner, it was a great meal to kick start the month of Ramadan well!

Just visited for the first time and this place was sooo good! We got the chicken shawarma and chicken kabob plate and both were amazing and served quickly. The owners were nice and attentive and even gave us a dessert on the house since it was our first time in. Will definitely be back again!

Our first time here tonight. Small mom and pop place. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Flavorful and I didn't use the salt shaker once, lol! Highly recommend this place!

Came to celebrate my new name change. We meant to go to the Cafe next door but came here instead. The woman was the hostess ,waitress and the cook!! The food was bright and so tasty. Coffee was an awesome treat to end the meal. They were so sweet and the place felt cozy. Wish it was s little cooler

Always wonderful food here. Recently, I had a gorgeous lamb shoulder. The owners are so kind and wonderful, and they make the best recommendations.

We popped into Rehana today on a whim while visiting from Colorado. It is, without a doubt, the BEST Mediterranean food I've ever had. The owners, husband and wife team Rasha and Moataz, specialize in authentic Egyptian and Iraqi cuisine that is phenomenal. We really enjoyed the special hot black tea which is so flavourful. The Iraqi flatbread was delicious and soft, and the Hot Mazza plate was pure perfection. Their hummus is literally the best I've ever tasted. In addition to the amazing food, the service was incredible too. Moataz was our server while Rasha prepared our food. They were both so welcoming and kind, and made us feel like we were visiting the home of friends. They clearly put a lot of love into this place and it's very special. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I won't be back. My husband and I were planning to eat there, but the dining room was in such disarray (Stuff all over the table in front, takeout containers piled along the window, someone's jacket thrown on the floor) when we walked in that we decided to order take out instead. It only took about 20 minutes, but the food was cold after our 10 minute drive home, which means it must have been luke warm when it was served. The portions were adequate, but certainly not generous, and I've eaten much better Mediterranean food.

A very cozy family restaurant! When I came in, I instantly knew I was in for a good time. The family-owned business had very attentive staff and were extremely patient. They were the best! The food was also very good and delivered promptly. I ordered the Iraqi hot tea, which was totally worth it! There was enough tea for two throughout the two hours we stayed. I ordered the Gyro sandwich, which was very filling! Support your local businesses because there's always gems like these!

I found Rehana on Yelp recently, and the whole experience was delightful, and Rehana's food is exceptional! My 10-year-old son and I walked in the door and we were greeted by the owners, quickly followed by 2 deserts, gifted to us, just as a welcome for it being our first time. One a rice pudding, and the other a puff pastry with cream and pistachios called Warbet. The Warbet pastry is phenomenal. I do like my donuts, but I'd take Rehana's Warbet over a donut any day for a treat... airy crunchy outside, and the inside a silky smooth, not overly sweet cream. Being our first time we decided to have a few extra things off the menu, with the bonus of having enough to take home. And we had plenty! We went with the leg of lamb, Baba Ganoush, beef kabab, chicken Shawarma and the pita bread. My son pleasantly surprised me in wanting to order the lamb, and proclaimed the best lamb ever. I have to say I agree. The leg of lamb is fall apart off the bone tender, an absolute gorgeous cut of meat, and a perfect marriage of spices and seasoning. The ground beef in the kabab was mouthwatering delicious, perfect in texture, and the spices vibrant but not overpowering. I usually find Kafta kababs pungent in cumin and too salty... but not this one, Really, Rehana's is much better than any I've had in my lifetime, eating Middle Eastern food here in Portland. The Saffron rice, salad, baba ghanoush, and chicken shawarma are just as good if not better than I've had before. The restaurant itself is welcoming, warm and clean, but no frills. The owners are humble and so welcoming, that in combination with the incredible food, who wants frills? Not me :). My mouth was singing with the delectable flavors for hours after. My family loved the leftovers. I can positively say Rehana is now a place we will be seeking out for special occasions, as well as family nights.

Great food with huge portions. The owners were incredibly nice and even offered us Egyptian dessert to try as it was our first time. We ordered the beef kebab/chicken shawarma on Iraqi bread that was the size of the table! We also ordered the baba ganoush that was wonderfully smokey and texturally delightful. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area, or even if you're not! Worth the drive to try.

Delicious! The tea was wonderful, the Iraqi lamb shank delicious, and the chicken + rice was excellent!

It's a fine place with a large serving size for their price. The service is a bit slow and ambiance could be better. But in any case what matters is the food which is good. Try it out.

The flavors here are amazing! They really know how to use spices and cook meat to perfection. The Egyptian chili is so uniquely tangy and we enjoyed it very much. I believe the restaurant is family owned and we felt that friendly attentiveness during our stay. Thank you for bringing this unique flavor to Beaverton. A+!

Omg so good. I don't know what they did in that hummus but I'm in heaven. Kind humans, delicious food, will be back.

Food is delish!! This is my first time here and i will definitely be back to try more foods. I ordered the combo plate with salad and all the meats are very well seasoned and tender! The prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I will be back soon

Amazing food and service. I always get the iraqi bread kabob combo. Sooooo juicy and deliciously seasoned. The iraqi bread with hummus and arabic salad go very well together. Highly recommend this restaurant. Would be 5 stars, just a little expensive for me.

Food was great, owner was friendly. Besides the rice/meat dishes, enjoyed the Mezzah plate; comes with pita, and we ordered some extra Iraqi bread which was super good.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner here tonight. I'm super happy to have discovered this place. We had the chicken kofta and sweet and sour lamb shank with caramelized onions as well as the Egyptian Mousaka eggplant that was absolutely scrumptious. It had the perfect balance of spicy and tangy and the owner told us it can basically pair well with anything and he was not wrong. My chicken kofta was also super good and was nice and moist, flavorful and had a nice balance of flavors as well. The caramelized onion sauce on the lamb shank was super tasty too. We have leftovers for later and didn't even get to try everything we wanted but will for sure be back again. The place was very clean and the service was super attentive. Great find and grateful to have a local restaurant like this.

Incredible! Went there with a group of friends and the food was worth every penny. Good amount of food and staff was super nice.

This hole in the wall restaurant is located in the heart of Beaverton. It's owned by a lovely couple who makes a variety of halal and middle eastern food. The appetizer we tried is a deep fried rice ball called Koba. It's filled with meat and they have vegetables ones too. A unique dish that was very enjoyable! The sambosas was nice deep-fried filled with ground beef and tasty too! I enjoyed the Lamb shank tasted very tender and great flavors. It comes with rice and salad and don't skip put on the spicy garlic sauce. The beef kabob plate is tender and great spices in the meat. It comes with rice and salad and a delicious plate all around! Don't forget to try their cheesecake made in house along with some tea on the side. They also have baklava and other great items too!

10/10 would go again. Absolutely the best Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food I've ever had, and made with lve you can see, smell, feel, and taste. Do not miss this place!

I had an amazing experience with the customer service! Since it's Ramadan, the staff were incredibly kind and understanding (very Muslim friendly) They even went out of their way to accommodate us by preparing our food later so it would be warm and ready for us to break our fast. The hospitality was exceptional, and the food quality was fantastic. Clearly made with care and love. The owners were the first to greet me with a warm welcome. I will definitely be coming back again!

Amazing experience. The food is incredible and very affordable. Delicious Mediterranean fare served by the friendliest family. We were treated to an amazing experience when going out for my friend's birthday dinner. The kabobs were tender and so flavorful and not at all dry. The rice is delicious and the chicken was flavored perfectly. We also enjoyed a hummus plate with bread, and it was some of the best I've had! Overall I loved it and am looking forward to returning soon!

Limited menu but not bad. More on Mediterranean than Egyptian. However it was not very pleasant dine-in date night. I was overwhelmed with the smell. The place is kinda of rancid (hard to describe grease + damp) Definitely NOT enough ventilation in the "kitchen" behind the counter. The table was not dirty but not clean look either. Doesn't matter how far from stoves, my jacket got stinky for days. To respond to owner. What I tried to do? It's called "review". Directly from customer that paid for their meal and wasn't happy with the value but gave you good tips anyhow. Hope you can take it with open mindset and welcome to our town.

Wow....just....Wow! After some research tonight to find a new place for some Mediterranean food, I found this place. My goodness, am I happy we did. Upon arrival we were greeted with sweet blinking lights and festive music. The owner welcomed us immediately. So charming and kind. We ordered a Mezzah plate. Dolma combo, falafel and then kebabs and shwarma atop Iraqi bread. Everything was perfection....and is homemade by the owning family. The baba and falafel is like none I've had anywhere else and all the meats were fresh and juicy. Nothing dry, overcooked or tasteless here. Everything is full of flavor...and the desserts are equally as delicious. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Wow, those food was great! My friend and I went here for lunch and both had an entree served on a giant soft flatbread with hummus. I had the chicken kebab + beef shawarma. The owner kindly pointed out that the best part of the bread was in the middle under the hummus! We also split an order of musqaa (?), which was fiery enough but not mouth-burning. The owner also gave us a taste of two different desserts- also a "wow". On the downside- the physical plan of the restaurant isn't very ... well, it isn't really very much of anything. It's the proverbial hole in the wall kind of place. Go here for the food and the friendly service. (I think a hole in the wall place can't get 5 stars.)

Absolutely fantastic food and service that makes you feel like family. Awesome music fills the air during your meal. Highly recommend everything! The kabobs, shawarma and kofta, as well as the rice and hummus! Coffee is excellent in addition to the dessert! Treat yourself to this authentic Egyptian/Mediterranean experience!

This is the 3rd business in this space in less than 3 years, and this is by far the best! Good portions and presentation. Nice variety of choices and some not so common choices. Desserts are all made in house. The owner is an absolute delight and provides very hospitable service. Will certainly return to try the rest of the menu.

Incredible food, flavor, and service. The spicy macaroni and eggplant special were phenomenal. A lot of options for vegetarians. Don't skip the Iraqi tea!

Went here for the first time the other night and absolutely loved it. Upon arriving we were greeted with a friendly welcome and great music. Everyone was super helpful and informative about the menu and our food came out quickly. Everything we had was delicious and we are excited to come back and try more. Would definitely recommend this place!

What a hidden gem.... Staff was amazing and even helped my partner not just have another Gyro but try some authentic cuisine -- WOW!!! It did not disappoint. Also, as a dj the downtempo, Middle East inspired beats made for a cool vibe.

Delicious! Loved the kebab and chicken shawarma with hummus underneath and a large pita. Yum Everything was perfect with lots of love. So much to choose from Baked eggplant and Egyptian moussaka were fabulous. We tried to finish 4 dishes between the six of us but had 2 large containers to take home. I'm ok with that. Will be back

Guess this place has been around for a while, but we tried it for the first time and we were in for a surprise!! There is something about these small family run restaurants....it may not be fine dining but it certainly adds the personalized touch that makes the experience quite memorable. The food was amazing. The taste, the presentation and the portion size were quite appealing.. The Sambousa is a must try, so is there chicken shawarma on rice and beef kebab in Iraqi bread. The owner and the staff were quite cheerful and happy to explain each dishes...A must try for a quiet family dinner without any frills...

This place is very authentic. They use all the right spices. The beef kebab and chicken shawarma is so delicious. We'll be back for more of this deliciousness.

Food was good, the owner and his wife were great. We came in with 4 adults and 2 kids and they sat us quickly then moved us to a bigger table when it opened up. They offered suggestions and also brought us samples of a few items to try. All of us enjoyed the food. We will go back to try other items on the menu.

The server was very polite. I like that he offered us complimentary samples of a couple drinks. The menu has a good selection of items, but the restaurant was out of quite a few of them. What we did order was good tasting and very large portions. We didn't have to wait too long to receive our foods. The restaurant is nicely decorated with Christmas-like lights. The music playing was techno/trace.

We went for lunch today and the food was ok, though we would suggest not seasoning the fries for the kids meal, as our kids basically immediately rejected them due to the 'little black spots' (pepper). Our issue was a more basic one, we were never asked if we wanted anything to drink and were not served water. We did manage to get three cups (for a party of 7), an after asking three times, but it took about 10 minutes to come. As it was my wife and I went without and the husband and wife we were with had two cups while we split the third among our three kids, who had been asking us for water as they had come in thirsty. This was just a basic customer experience thing that we feel was just a fail (unfortunate as the man who served us was quite friendly otherwise?.

I have never posted on yelp until now because my partner and I have some strong opinions about the so-called "service" at this restaurant. Despite being the only two people in the restaurant, it took us 20 minutes to get a waitress to tend to our table. Then the order came back that looked stunning at first, but my partner pulled a long black hair out of the dish in front of the waitress while it was still in her hand. Then she said she would "get us a new one" only to be the same plate but slightly rearranged only 45 seconds later. Trying to save the lunchtime, I ate around my obviously contaminated part of the plate. Only to look over and see my partner's chicken had little white hairs cooked into it that I could see from the other side of the table. We then got up, paid (full price, no compensation at all), and just left. I don't normally leave reviews at all, but people need to understand that with this being a HALAL restaurant, that it needs to follow certain hygiene standards that are not being practiced.

We go to Rehana every chance we get! The food is delicious and the service is spectacular. They go above and beyond to accommodate you and will make things off menu if you ask in advance! I love their hawawshi, their lamb shoulder and their macaroni. Their koftas and kebab are some of the best in town as well.. they season them really well and are cooked to juicy perfection.

Excellent food, excellent prices! Almost don't want to share this secret, they are that good!

Decided to try Rehana for date night after seeing the recent rave reviews and now I'm posting my own rave review! The staff is friendly, the space is clean, and the food is DELICIOUS! We were treated to a dessert sample upon sitting down. We ended taking a dessert home, so the sample was a nice way to start the meal without forgetting about the dessert options. We had a lovely time and will absolutely return.

Food was great, it too a while to get my order ready. Parking is hard to find, the place was clean.

Everything was delicious! We especially enjoyed the baba ghanoush and chips. Can't wait to try more again soon.

Great place. And awesome service. Food was wonderful. .

We had a wonderful meal and would highly recommend Rehana. We had the mezzah plate and the beef koba for appetizers. (They were both delicious). We ordered the beef kabob, the chicken swarma saj, the shrimp kabob and a burger for the kid. My favorite of these was the beef kabob. One of the owners brought us the Egyptian Mousaka for free (to try) and it was also amazingly tasty. The owner sent us on our way out with a cheesecake and baklava (complementary with a happy new year wish). The chef/owner even came out to a answer our questions on certain spices because we loved it and were curious. We will be back...with friends.
