My mother's day evening was spent having dinner with my husband and youngest daughter at Karam. None of us had ever eaten here before so didn't know what to expect from this downtown Portland restaurant. By the end of the meal we all decided it was a place to mark for a return visit. We started with a lovely bottle... More

Visited Portland for a few days and stopped in for lunch to enjoy a good Lebanese meal. This restaurant does not disappoint, we ordered the meat meza, fatoush salad and most importantly the fette chicken.
