Ya Hala

Delicious dinner at Ya Hala Lebanese restaurant in PDX around 75th and Stark.

Looks like they have a good lunch menu too. Definitely worthy of repeat visits.

We had an appetizer of Cheese Sfeeha - Mozzarella cheese, sprinkled with nigella (‘black caraway’ seeds) placed on three rounds of thin dough then baked.

Susan had Dajaj Over Rice - From their menu" We braise succulent pieces of chicken. Baked when we take your order, the fowl is set upon a mixture of spiced ground beef and basmati rice. Garnished with roasted almonds and pine nuts. Served with a side of yogurt."

I had Bulgar-B-Dfeen "We lay tender pieces of beef shank that have been slowly braised upon a bed of gently spiced bulgar wheat, mixed with chick peas and onions. Topped with roasted almonds and served with a side of yogurt."
