Jarras for Ethiopian - Hawthorne
Taquaria Maycamus for Mexican - 23rd Avenue or its partner,     on 10th near the (being remodeled) library building. and crawl, hitchhike whatever you have to do for Indian at Swagat in Beaverton.

Sheryl:

I recommend Huber's. They're the oldest restauraunt in Portland and are known for their turkey dishes and Spanish Coffee. Get there early, there will be a big line late on weekends.

Another place to check out is Brasserie. The baby lobster tail appetizers are absolutely orgasmic.

Both of these places are downtown. Good luck!
