Reviews for Dina's Cuisine in Portland, ME
Planned on dining in on a family road trip, but I didn?t realize that they have limited space for indoor dining. Nevertheless,... the food we ordered (wraps and a lamb platter) was delicious. We ended up eating across the street at a local park where theyhad a picnic table. The chef was by himself so it took a while to get it. Looks like this is mostly a order ahead place so willplan better next time. I also want to try their sauces. Read more

Omg, yes. Finally! A GOOD falafel and shawarma (chicken)! Hummus was perfect! Grape leaf was subtle and crisp! The pickled beets... were fresh and tangy! The naan is HUGE! The size of dinner plates! Read more
Wow, this place is authentic. From amazing Greek food to other middle eastern dishes like Turkish delight or baklava for... dessert, they make really delicious food. Their authenticity continues throughout from the decor to staff attire to the music.Reasonable pricing and sizeable portions. You won't be disappointed. Read more
Great portions, ordered the falafel plate and beef Shawarma. The sauces were delicious! Must try: The Naan and hummus- amazing.
By far, this is an excellent Middle Eastern food spot no matter where you compare it to. The price, quality and quantity is... excellent. The food freshness is excellent. The quality of the ingredients is good, and on a random note, the value in thespices they sell is excellent. All this excellence would normally arrive you at five stars, but the only thing holding it backfrom a five star affordable middle eastern food joint rating is the way the owner speaks to his employees. Having a great foodjoint is cool, but treating your employees well is even cooler. While I don't think it's terrible, I do believe that the owneris culturally use to different behaviors that are more common someplace else. The food is worth it, but the owner needs tolearn how to speak to employees, and that yelling at them in front of customers is unacceptable. By chance, we speak Arabic, andcould listen to him be a jerk to his staff infront of us. Not cool. Read more

This place will... take you back in time to the true cultural Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Cuisine. Each dish is made from scratch, back inTexas we call that Home made. In each bit you will get a mouth satisfying taste full of the right spices and herbs known to thatregion. This restuarant is the heartbeat of America.

Such a pleasant fellow put our meals together! Wonderful food! I got gyro plate and there were so many delicious sides that came... with it. Hummus drizzled with olive oil, delightfully garlicky tzatziki, pickled beets, really good fries and a terrific salad.And some of the lightest pita I?ve ever had! ?I?ll be back!? Read more
