Shalom Y'all is an exploration and celebration of the Levant. We combines flavors and dishes from the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East with the produce and proteins of the Pacific Northwest to produce a phenomenal menu. Some standout items include the grilled lamb chops in Greek vinaigrette, the Baharat spiced chicken kebab served over mejadara, and our silky hummus served with fresh baked pita.
Shalom Y'all is located in the heart of Eastside Portland, Oregon and boasts a charming, industrial atmosphere featuring exposed cement walls flanked by warm wooden accents. You'll experience innovative yet approachable cuisine, an inspired menu of cocktails and beverages, all in a lively atmosphere.
We are currently reserving seating in our Dining Room, our Bar (21+), and our Chef's Counter.

Excellent service, great food and pleasant ambiance.
We were there to celebrate a couple of family birthdays and really enjoyed the total experience.
When we see first seated, the music was a bit loud from the speaker near our table. We asked our server to please firm turn it down and they did- no problem. Love those little touches that help creat an awesome experience.
We’ll be back!

Our first visit, we had no expectations. The waiter asked if we had been there and because it was our first time he made recommendations. We ordered everything that he recommended and it did not disappoint. Our favorite thing that we ordered was the mushrooms, which was surprising, since my wife usually doesn’t like mushrooms but we both agreed they were great. Cocktails were great. The only thing that detracted was we were at a high top table near the bar and it felt like all of the noise from the other side of the half wall was a bit distracting, but not too bad overall.

Service was very slow. It was over an hour from the time we sat down at our reserved seat to the time we were served our dinner. The waiter was great, but the kitchen is slow.

I had been planing to go to Shalom Y'all for quite some time and never quite made it. WHY DID I WAIT???
The food is all delicious, well seasoned and the portions are generous. Our server had excellent suggestions about what we may want to add to our order. Since things are family style, it can be a little challenging to know how much to order when unfamiliar with the portion sizes.
I was particularly fond of the baharat chicken kabab on a bed of mejadra. The flavors and textures complemented each other so well.
I will be back and bring friends.
