By Arabian Breeze

Editorial Rating: Recommended

The Scene Arabian Breeze is a relative newcomer to the Middle Eastern food selection in PDX. It features a more fun aspect ot family-style mediterreaen dining by adding hookah in the enclosed patio area and full bar with Syrian and Lebanese wines featured. The menu is ambitious and it stands up to large parties well. There is plenty of space for larger parties. The music too is mixed with some modern and some traditional drumming. Made for a "real village feeling" atmosphere. Bread here is different than any other place in PDX. It is made on an upside down wok and is larger and thinner than a regular pita. Makes a great sandwich!Come hungry and you will still have some to take home. Portions are huge. There is something for vegans, veg-heads and omnivores on the menu. Lots of odd deserts too so there is plenty new to try.Also, make sure you try some beer or wine to make a complete experience. If you don't drink alcohol try a fruit drink like the strawberry lemonade. Arabian Breeze is on a several bus lines and is walkable for folks in the nearby neighborhood. Parking is not too bad but crossing B'way can be a challenge.
