Hoda's (sometimes Hoda's Lebanese Restaurant,^[1] Hoda's Middle Eastern Cuisine,^[2] or Hoda's Middle Eastern Restaurant)^[3] is a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

Description

Hoda's is a family-owned Lebanese restaurant and catering service on Belmont Street in southeast Portland's Sunnyside neighborhood.^[4]^[5] The menu includes shawarma, pizzas, spinach pies, breads, baba ghanoush, and hummus.^[6]

History

The business is owned by spouses Hani and Hoda Khouri,^[1] who opened the original restaurant in 1999.^[7] The Khouris, who are Catholic, received "several menacing anti-Muslim/Arab" phone calls at the restaurant following the September 11 attacks (2001).^[1]

In 2010, Hoda's filed a liquor license application and secured a location for a second restaurant in northeast Portland.^[8] The second restaurant, called Hoda's Middle Eastern Cuisine, opened in early 2011 and closed in 2014.^[4]^[9]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hoda's served family meals via takeout and delivery while the dining room was closed; the menu included Kabob dinners, sandwiches, and lamb legs.^[5] Hoda Khouri also supported closing Belmont to allow more outdoor seating during the pandemic.^[3]

Reception

In 2015, Eater Portland's Danielle Centoni called Hoda's one of the city's best Lebanese restaurants.^[10]
