The story of Ya Hala follows Chef and matriarch Mirna Attar’s journey from Lebanon to Portland.  

Mirna's menu reflects the breadth of Portland's food scene, the Pacific Northwest's agriculture, and the growing demands of dietary preferences without unclasping the thread of her dishes' inspiration, her homeland of Lebanon.

Happiness is our Lebanese lemon chicken meal! We're absolutely OBSESSED! Juicy chicken rubbed in a lemon garlic marinade served with signature cabbage salad, batata harra, hummus, pita and toum. Who's hungry?
If you haven’t tried our toum, you’re seriously missing out! Garlicky, creamy, and delicious, this traditional Lebanese sauce was made for dipping! Pick some up next time you stop by!
We have another cocktail reveal for you all! This is our Za'atar Paloma! Made with 1800 Tequila Silver, grapefruit, lemon, house-made za'atar syrup, and topped with thyme, this citrus-herbal concoction is perfect for a night out!
Did you know Ya Hala has ✨signature cocktails✨? It’s true! This beauty is our Turkish Coffee Martini! Made with cardamom, rose, Turkish coffee, and Monopolowa vodka, we can’t help but crave it!
Lemon chicken appreciation post! It tastes even better than it looks, we promise. This juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken (along with the rest of our Lebanese lemon chicken meal) is the ultimate comfort food on these freezing fall days.
