The Bridge to Portland Group team is all about supporting our local businesses! One of our favorite routine stops, Yalla is a fabulous restaurant set back in the heart of Multnomah Village right around the corner from the Living Room Realty office. Serving up a delicious menu of Mediterranean delights, Yalla is a go-to spot in the community.
The restaurant was designed with a tasteful blend of contemporary design and Middle Eastern charm, with cozy seating and intricate decor to enjoy. Choose from three seating choices: the main dining room, a heated outdoor patio, or bar seating with a view of the bartenders crafting beautiful cocktails.
Take a chance on a new dish or stick with one of their classics, knowing all of their food is sourced from local ingredients whenever possible, supporting local farmers and artisans. Flavorful, colorful, and delicious, there is something for everyone at the table. Both the fried chicken and the hummus with burnt beef ends are out-of-this-world! For those who are more veggie forward, their vegetable main dishes are unlike any other.
What started out as the new kid on the block, Yalla has quickly become a staple of Multnomah Village and SW Portland in general. Open every day of the week, Yalla has also incorporated a weekend brunch menu in addition to their regular dinner service. The brunch we never knew we needed that will have you dreaming about it for days after.
A warm and inviting atmosphere coupled with an unmatched menu that satisfies every palate, Yalla is a consistent crowd pleaser and a must-try if you’re in the SW Portland area!
