" I was feeling adventurous and decided to give Tahrir Square a try while in Portland after a concert. The Egyptian food here felt like a taste of home; I found the moussaka to be a highlight of my dish! It had a hearty portion size and was bursting with flavors. It was busy, yet I was pleasantly surprised at how quick the service was; everyone working there seemed to genuinely care about the customers and the food they were serving. If you love authentic Mediterranean cuisine, give Tahrir Square a shot—you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become a weekly visit for me and my partner. We love their lamb kabobs and the fantastic mint rose tea that accompanies our meals. The flavor profiles in each dish are well thought out and truly reflect Egyptian cuisine. Despite the busyness at lunch rush, the staff managed to greet us with smiles and provide quick service without compromising on quality. Tahrir Square strikes a great balance between affordability and quality; it’s not easy finding a place that hits all the right notes in terms of authenticity. 10 out of 10 would dine again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tahrir Square is great for a casual meal after work. The kababs I tried were tender and packed with flavor. The staff's friendliness was great too, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The only real downside was the time it took to get my order during busy hours. Yet, I must say it felt well worth the wait once I took my first bite! This place has a casual charm that I really enjoyed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Felt like trying something from Tahrir Square today. I had their vegetarian mezza, and it was a delightful experience. Each dish tasted fresh and had its own characteristic flavor. The various dips were outstanding, especially the baba ganoush. The staff was nice and accommodating, making my experience even better. A solid place, but I must say there could be improvements with portion sizes for the price. Otherwise, I’d definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for some authentic falafel and stumbled upon Tahrir Square. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—so delightful! I found their use of fava beans to be a nice nod to traditional preparation. However, I found the portion sizes to be a bit on the small side and a bit pricey for what you get. The service was very attentive and I appreciated the friendly demeanor of the staff. Overall, I'd recommend this place for quick bites and I plan to come back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been back to Tahrir Square multiple times for their fantastic falafel wraps. They are consistently fluffy and well-spiced! I appreciate how they pay attention to presentation, making the meal even more enjoyable. It’s a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal that doesn’t leave your wallet empty. My only qualm would be that on busier days, it can take a bit longer to place your order. But considering how great the food is, I can overlook that easily! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tahrir Square is hands down the go-to place for delicious Mediterranean food! I ordered the falafel wrap and it was crispy and flavorful, with the perfect amount of tahini. The ambient vibe was soothing, and the staff were super friendly and efficient, even during peak hours. I could easily taste the authenticity in the ingredients, which made a huge difference. I also appreciated that they offered fresh options that weren't overly greasy. Can't wait to come back and try the chicken shawarma next time! " (*Curated Review*)
