Date #75
We first tried Lebanese food a little over a year ago, and have grown to love it. Chuck found TarBoush Lebanese Bistro & Bar when we were on Hawthorn for the weekend of Chuck a few weeks ago, he's always on the lookout!
This restaurant is located in an old house with most of the rooms still in tact. We were taken to a table for two in the main room. We ordered hummus to start and oh was it good. It came with fresh out of the oven pita bread, and the pita bread kept coming, I could have just eaten this all night and been happy. I wanted to leave room for my meal, but the hummus was so good it was hard to stop.
I ordered Loubieh which is green beans, tomato, onions, garlic, and olive oil over basmati rice. It was basically green beans in tomato sauce with whole chunks of garlic, yummy! Because we cleaned up the hummus I only had a little room for the main course, but the good thing about that is I have leftovers for two lunches, lucky me!
Chuck ordered the beef shawarma plate over basmati rice. This dish was plenty of tender, flavorful pieces of beef. I made a suggestion that he save half for lunches, so he also had leftovers for 2 lunches.
We have noticed that restaurants in certain areas of Portland, young hipster, have clientele that don't respect their neighbors. This was the case tonight unfortunately, one woman was so loud, we knew her life story, and when leaving we had to ask her twice to move her chair because it was in the isle. Some people!
