Message from the Business
Welcome to Karam Lebanese Cuisine! The Karam family members have been established entrepreneurs in Portland for over 15 years. We offer a broad menu, featuring our delicious Lebanese cuisine in an intimate setting. Thus, Karam Lebanese Cuisine restaurant is born.
Karam is literally translated to mean generous, a spirit and tradition which has been passed down in our family from generation to generation. We look forward to making your dinning experience an enjoyable and relaxing one. We will endeavor to serve you in the same spirit of generosity passed down by the Karam family throughout the centuries.
All our food is made fresh daily from scratch, including our fresh pita bread, goat, falafel and lamb specialty. Our Lebanese food is prepared homemade by Emelin Karam. Don't forget the great quality desserts we prepare here, at Karam Lebanese Cuisine.
