GREAT FOOD

I will go back all the shit is worth it for the delicious pitas, hummus, and grilled veggies. My boyfriend really liked his lamb shank - huge portions for the price!

      <![CDATA[My wife and I like middle eastern and greek type food, and Hoda&#39;s is our favorite. Plenty of room, so reservations are not generally needed.

Setting is casual, wait staff is friendly.

Food is quite good at a moderate price, about $8-15 / plate. They have several sampler dinners for two or more people, a good choice for first timers, esp. for those who have not had the pleasure of eating good Lebanese before.

Wine and beer are served here, but this is a restaurant first, not a bar. I would have no problem bringing children.

Portions are ample, the food is good, prices are reasonable, service is good.

Give Hoda&#39;s a try, a great place to have your first middle eastern meal, and you will want to come back.

I&#39;m taking my wife there tonight, when she gets home from work.

      <![CDATA[I don&#39;t get the negative reviews either. It&#39;s the best Greek/Lebanese food I&#39;ve had in Portland. The servers are hot too, not that that matters. Ignore the shitty reviews.

      <![CDATA[The kafta kabob was overcooked and tasted like a Sweedish meatball (that is saying too much, the meatball has more flavor) and the boneless chicken kabob was dry and bland. Possibly the worst Middle Eastern food I have ever had. I have had better service at Mc Donald&#39;s.

      <![CDATA[I fucking love Hodas. I&#39;ve been going there for years and never had a bad moment. It was the first place I went to when I came back from a year in Hawaii (where there is NO Mid-east style food at all). Waitresses seem to cycle in and out but the food remains wonderful. I am a food snob of the highest order and I give Hodas a 5 star!

      <![CDATA[I&#39;m not sure what the previous reviewer was upset about - I&#39;ve never had too wait long for a table at Hoda&#39;s, and once seated, I&#39;ve always enjoyed excellent service.  The bread comes out fast and often.  The only sucky thing was deciding what I wanted from the huge menu, which is fantastic for folks who don&#39;t eat meat.  And, oh, the hummus...I love this hummus.

      <![CDATA[I always hear people bitch about Hoda&#39;s being gross, but I&#39;ve been there plenty of times in the past four years, and the food was fine to me (I love Lebanese food to a default, though). What&#39;s actually terrible about this place is that it seems as though it&#39;s always PACKED! And... why? The food is fine, sure, but it&#39;s nothing to write home about. It&#39;s terrible that places like La Villa (THEE fucking best Lebanese restaurant in Portland) closed down while places like Hoda&#39;s and Nikolas&#39; continue to have mediocre food that people flock to like flies on shit.
