50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Seattle

“Scrumptious food! Fresh ingredients, well prepared without too much oil. They were super busy when I arrived, and my food was still prepared quickly. Everything is Halal, so you know that the animals were treated humanely. There are also vegan options. Everything was divine, I was happily surprised to find a new twist on some of my favorites. Also, the place is really clean.“

“Amazing food. Amazing service“

“Shawarma Land was perfect! A good place to go for a quick bite of lunch and or snack. It was perfect for me because I'm muslim and I like to know that my food is halaal. I don't ha e to worry about cross contamination or it the utensils are clean from other foods that are not clean foods according to my way of life. Awesome!!!“

“Wonderful food and service.“

“What can I say other than the fact that the food here totally slaps! Everything is juicy and flavorful. The grilled veggies have a sweet char to them. Both rice options are tasty. The portions are generous and most things come with a side salad that’s dressed with feta and a very savory dressing. Plus, the employees are very sweet and kind. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“It was yummy, good flashback to my time in the gulf.“

“The 3% operations fee they add to the check at the end left things on a bad note. This operations fee felt pretty bad. If you need to, raise prices by 3%.

The service and the food were outstanding. Really great dishes and flavors.“

“The owner is incredibly personable and is very involved with his restaurant. His staff is very attentive and have excellent customer service skills. I chose a faster made food, the Chicken Kabob (recommended by the owner) and there was nothing that made it feel rushed or made cheap even though the price was amazing for the amount of food that came about 10 mins after ordering. BEST DARN KABOB I'VE EVER HAD IN SEATTLE. I'm sad I didn't try this place out when I lived in the neighborhood 10 yrs ago. I'd be a lot fatter by now...“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“this place has the best fries ive ever had in my entire life whether that be home made or from a fancy restaurant, minna does it better. incredible food, incredible service, and CELIACS listen up!! I am celiac and have never once had an issue here with cross contamination, even when i dont say explicitly that i have an allergy. i always get the greek fries or gyro fries, + the complimentary falafel is always a delight. thank you minna for existing!!!“

“delicious, quick & friendly service! Arabic falafel wrap was great, want to come back and try the chicken shawarma as well! fries were crisp & hot, the lamb and beef gyro plate was great- loved the hummus and the saffron rice was so flavorful !
would come back soon! good price for the portion size as well!“

“Brought my family of ten in, and every dish we ordered was excellent. Even better, though, was the timing, professionalism, and warmth of our server. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had from a service standpoint—especially impressive given the size of our group.“

“I've been visiting here for about 8 years and have never been disappointed. The food is always so fresh and taste absolutely delicious.the service from Layla alone is outstanding. She is always personable, kind and inviting. I always get there a few minutes before the rush so we can chat. The food comes out quick, hot and perfect every single time! My go to is the gyro plate. If I'm extra hungry I'll add some baklava which taste like it was transported directly from an oven in Greece!“

“Went here for lunch and enjoyed my Gyro Shawarma plate!“

“Amazing food and great service! Gyro Time Seattle never disappoints. The gyros are packed with flavor, always fresh, and filling. The staff is super friendly and the place is always clean. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Seattle for a quick and delicious meal.“

“Great food...good value :)“

“Great atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and amazing food!“

“Sultan Gyros is amazing. They are always chill, friendly dudes, the food is fire, and the prices aren't terrible.

I wish I still lived down the street but weve made the 1hr+ drive a couple times. We have been trying to find a replacement but nothing compares.

At this point we have wasted so much money on mediocre greek/Arabic restaurants just to be disappointed! 😂😂😂“

“So underrated!!!! The service tonight was incredible. Our server made the best recommendations, and every dish was flavorful and deeply savory. We absolutely stuffed ourselves and had to take baklava to go because there was no room left—but we can’t wait to try it at home. Highly recommend. And bonus points for Kenny G playing in the background!“

“What a lovely restaurant! I ordered food online and picked up in person. As I entered the restaurant, there was loud upbeat music playing and I could see all workers work at a crisp pace in the open kitchen. The staff greeted me quickly and wrapped my food promptly and carefully (thank you!). I ordered a chicken rice plate and french fries, both of which had super generous portions. The chicken rice was especially delicious, with lots of herbs, and looked very appetizing. I will be sure to come back and try other things on the menu.“

“Surprising unexpected delight by the side of a busy road with not a lot of foot traffic between Swedish Hospital and Virginia Mason! I think more could be done with the decor, and it was understaffed, but the food was AMAZING! I can see why it is so highly rated - the meat is perfectly bribed or seasoned or whatever magic they do to make it tender and infused with flavor throughout. We had the Gyro plate and the Beef Shwarma plate along with the Baba Ganoush - each was excellent in their own way, and the garlic dressing in the accompanying salads is to kill for. Will come again!“

“09.06 The food here is divine! We split a lamb sandwich and a plate of cauliflower with tahini sauce. Just wow! The chef packed so much unexpected flavor into these dishes. We will be back. 09.09 We came back for more! So good.“

“Love the food and the family!❤️“

“In our experience, Seattle eateries have consistently delivered exceptional meals, but Miss Cafe and their Turkish breakfast exceeded all expectations. Generously portioned for two, the spread featured an array of fresh, delectable dishes that showcased the chef's skill. Standouts included the cheese pastry and a rich, tomato, cheesy egg stew. However, the true pièce de résistance was the heavenly honey and cream, perfectly paired with crusty bread - a flavor combination that bordered on sublime. Leaving some for my boyfriend was nothing less than an act of pure love, but we'll certainly return again and again during our short stay in the city.“

“The food is delicious . Everything is made with pride . It’s all fresh and made in house . Since it’s fresh and made to order , you will have to wait . It is worth it . I highly recommend the Greek french fries , amazing. Also I would not skip the chai tea or baklava, both so good. Friendly family business that appreciates its customers. The only thing I did not like was not their fault . Customers constantly talking loudly on cell phone , incredibly annoying ringers going off from multiple phones, some very loud voices . It’s a tiny place with close tables so hear everything. It has lovely lighting from beautiful lamps and is nicely decorated. I just wish some of the customers more considerate .“

“Really great food and options with great friendly service. Appreciate you all and thank goodness for DoorDash too. 🙏🙏🙏“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the special Lamb Meal & Lamb Sandwich 😍 The team were super nice and friendly 👌🏼Thanks for the good experience we enjoyed the place and the food👏🏼“

“Samir is the the best!!!! Always delicious, clean restaurant with the most phenomenal customer service!!“

“food is consistently great!

the salad that comes with the plates is meh, but they will happily sub something else.
falafel, shawarma, fries are all flavorful. hummus is smooth and topped w delish olives. highly recommend!“

“Délectable. North africanan delishessness.“

“I can't even explain how good every item on this menu is. It's only enhanced by the amazing service from the beautiful family running it. The best gyros, shawarma, rice pudding, Falafel, and service in the area. Blessed to have them in our neighborhood. Amazing food and community.“

“I’ve brought so many friends here and recommended it to countless people because it’s just that good—hands down the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area!

I get the beef gyro plate each time I come, and it hits every single time. Everything pairs perfectly together—it’s a flavor explosion 🤭

It’s mainly a takeout spot, but there is a small covered area where you can eat, along with a couple of benches outside. It might be a little cold right now, but it’s a decent setup once the weather warms up. I already look forward to the next time I’ll be back for it again!! 10/10 recommend!“

“Best Food In seattle“

“Delicious Arab style falafel- super crispy, good balance of ingredients, pita was fresh and the whole thing had the perfect flavor! I accidentally ordered from a different location and showed up here and the man working there was very kind and decided to make my order for me even though it was already ready at the other spot. Totally didn’t have to do that but so sweet of him and makes an impression!
The atmosphere is what I expected for a quick and affordable bite to eat; space to sit, no frills and that’s fine by me. :)“

“Great food specially the chicken plate and Kababs.“

“This Mediterranean restaurant is amazing! I love their paella. I was surprised that they accept credit cards! I love the service and the delicious“

“Shawarma King has the best food and the best employees!“

“Had the most amazing Chicken Shawarma Platter ordered thru Grub Hub~ it was “fine dining” delivered!! I highly recommend making an order ~ even if you’re staying in right now, it’s well worth it!!! Everything on the platter was delicious ~ the best shawarma that I’ve ever tasted!!! ✨“

“Best food in the town I have been eating since 2010🤩“

“Great Mediterranean food in a pleasant, neighborhood atmosphere 😊“

“The best falafel sandwich in town. Owner John is the best. Definitely try the Greek fries too.“

“It is a great place with very friendly &kind people who offer extremely delicious food. I really recommend it for everyone“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“great food quaint envroment and quality service for almost 20 years“

“This place is great. The owner/manager treated me like a guest in his kind home. The juices are delicious (green power is lovely with zingy citrus, parsley and celery) The gyro is fresh and tasty and the perfect size for a hungry Sunday morning. The people are the best and make this place a neighborhood treasure. Park a block away (parking right in front of the restaurant is rather tight; don’t let that discourage you.). I gave atmosphere 4 stars only because the cleaner uses a heavy concentration of pine sol; so early in the day it smells a bit heavy of cleaner (consider a lemon based; less scented cleaner?) But the place is sparkling immaculate, good middle eastern music, sweet shaded patio; lots of smiles and heartfelt welcomes (not fake). The prices are absolutely fair and excellent hours. There is a good reason that this is where the locals eat and why I drive from Fremont to join them.“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“The best shawarma in the Seattle area Has been to many restaurants but shawarma man was the best will come again for sure“

“This tucked away gem was a great experience. We were seated in a romantic booth that felt nice and cozy. Our waiter was really nice and the drinks were yummy. The Brussels sprouts were absolutely amazing, some sort of glaze I wanted to lick the plate.
The steak dinner was cooked well and well seasoned, I didn’t care much for the side of fennel however the potatoes was amazing. For dessert the butterscotch crème brûlée was phenomenal, maybe the best I’ve ever had.
The photos came out dark because the lighting is very romantic and dark.
I’m heading back today for more cream brûlée 😅“

“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — you can really taste the quality in every bite. Everything was made just right, and the portions were generous. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

Even with takeout, everything was packaged neatly and still hot when I got home. The atmosphere from what I could see felt clean, inviting, and well put together.

Definitely one of the best spots for shawarma — I will be coming back again and again!“
