Great food and service. The beef shawarma was tender and juicy. The pitta was freshly made too!

We had one vegetarian plate and one steak plate, and they were delicious! The servings are generous, so it is a decent value, considering how prices have increased. Everything was fresh and I definitely recommend it!

A great Halal food Mecca.Friendly service.Food quality is superb and very high in authenticity. I love take out and eating there.We as a family love it!!! Never get tired as food is so heavenly and healthy. Mediterranean food is number #1 health food on earth.Mandi chicken,Mezza and lamb kabobs are top notch along with everything else. SW Portland and Dunthorpe residents are lucky to have this epic restaurant so close.

Amazing service right from the start. The owner welcomes you with a smile and doesn't rush you on what to order. He will answer any of your questions regarding any dishes. I had the Chicken Kufta with the Baklava as a dessert which I've never tried but gave it a try and was actually tasty. Would order more in the future. Food is full of flavor and is authentic. Location is a great spot easy to find since it's near the main road. Inside the restaurant there is plenty of seating areas for larger groups. Down to earth kind of place I would say. If you like Mediterranean food give this place a try.

I gotta stop ordering beef shawarma. Someone stop me the next time I try. I'm never going to learn. The shawarma was very flavorful but almost too flavorful. It ended up a little dry too. I probably should have gone for chicken. I really wanted to try the hummus and the combo with the hummus and Iraqi bread just seemed like the right choice. Kind of like a sandwich you put together yourself. Price gets a little carried away when you consider what a sandwich would cost. But I guess I get the hummus and more bread. Bread was fresh and soft and chewy. Definitely a highlight. Hummus was very smooth. All of the parts were really Delicious. Very friendly service and a clean space.

I order takeout from here occasionally. It is one of the few restaurants I drive by on the way home. The food is consistently good. The Gyro reminds me of what I would get in NY. Friendly staff. Easy parking right in front. Chicken shawarma is delicious. Not sure why my profile says San Francisco. I live in PDX.

Very friendly with a relaxed vibe. A gentleman I assume is the owner greeted us warmly from the register upon entering. While we were there, customers arrived about every ten minutes mostly for takeout. That's always a good sign! Everything is served promptly and professionally. Even our waters were delivered to us on a tray. The food was very good. Everything is served on heavy ceramics and presented artfully. I ordered the veggie combo because I was starved after 9 miles of paddling around the Willamette. I judge Mediterranean food by the quality of the hummus. Moonlight's was a nice consistency, not watered down, hearty. I would have preferred more of a garlic hit but I say that about just every hummus I encounter! The baba ghanoush was fantastic, slightly tangy and perfect blend of spices. The absolute stars of the plate were the falafels. i am sure they are the best I have ever eaten. Moist with good flavor inside and a pleasant crunch on the outside. Not at all greasy or tough! Easy to cut with my fork. Dipped in the baba ghanoush --- heaven! Portions are quite generous and the prices are reasonable! I took home at least half of my dips. My plate was around $14. I pay $20 for a similar plate elsewhere. My husband said his chicken was good but nothing to write home about. It looked good! I told the chef how much I enjoyed the falafel. She beamed. This is a tiny place where the food is tasty and the staff take care of you with pride. Those two things right there is what I look for in a meal --- whether at a 10-table or 50-table establishment. Without them, you are wasting your money. You are spending wisely at Moonlight!

This is my favorite Middle East restaurant in town. The plates are delicious, the servings are large, and the staff is very friendly. Excellent flavors and a mellow environment.

I've had a lot of chicken shawarma's over the years and this one's up there. Little different than most I've had. A little more kick in spice. Melts in your mouth pretty legit. I'd definitely eat another if I'm ever around again. Hard place to turn into though during traffic. Only one other person here at noon so I hope it lasts. Worth it for what I got.
