50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bellevue

“Solid food all around. I’ve never been a lover or a hater of shawarma and gyro but it’s…enjoyable.

The humus is average plus. The bread, good. The fries, 3.5 star (so generously a 4 star). Service? Good. It’s exactly what I expected—4 star enjoyable. Price? It’s Seattle, nothing is ever inexpensive (gonna spend easily $20 a person).“

“Love this place. Don’t bother with the menu, just order the shish tawook:)“

Absolutely delicious food. Fresh squeezed lemonade. Everything was wonderful .I live on the other side of the mountains. But I would come back here again.with all my family and recommend this Mediterranean Deli Delightful.“

“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.“

“I'm mad my friend didn't show me this spot earlier!!! For starters, we had the mezze platter. It came with dolmas (so good!! Perfect marriage of rice and spices!), tzatziki (so fresh! The mint...yum!!), baba ganoush (with a smokey hint), hummus (so fresh!!), tabouli (best ive had in a long time! It was not overwhelming with parsley... super enjoyable. So good we got orders to go!), and the piyaz (a chilled white bean salad with ginger root, onion, tomato, EVOO, and garlic...so good we got orders to go!). Entrees we had the mesopotamian lamb and beef (the stew was so comforting..like a hug. The lamb was so tender!), and the lamb chops (love the rosemary and garlic!) For dessert...freshhhhh baklava, freshest ive had. It had just been made. It was so perfect! It's not so heavy compared to the normal baklava with honey that Im used too. Looks like I have a new favorite Mediterranean spot to go to!!! The staff was great. The food was amazing.“

“They have such amazing food and the baba ghanoush is made fresh daily. The shop next to the restaurant has so many awesome things that you cant find at your average stores. They're super courteous and it's just an all around friendly place.“

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

Homer on Beacon Hill is one of those places that immediately wraps you in warmth from the moment you walk up. The glowing yellow sign outside sets the tone — soft, inviting, and a little bit magical. Inside, it feels like stepping into someone’s family kitchen where modern design meets soulful comfort.

The ambiance is intimate but lively — thoughtfully designed with an open kitchen, glowing ovens, and seating that keeps you close to the action. It feels both upscale and deeply human. I believe there are two wood-fired ovens, which add to the cozy scent and visual energy. The bar seating is beautifully done, though it’s near the door where guests come in and out, so bring a light jacket if you plan to sit there. The space still feels incredibly warm and welcoming.

The staff move like a rhythm — attentive, intelligent, and graceful in motion. You can tell this place is designed with care: there’s even a wheelchair-accessible restroom, and the flow between spaces feels intentional. The walk-up window for self-serve soft-serve ice cream outside is such a clever touch.

We ordered a trio of spreads — classic hummus with chickpeas and cumin, smoky red pepper with mint and pomegranate, and creamy yogurt with roasted tomatoes and herbs. Every bite was balanced, fresh, and beautifully plated. The pita bread came straight from the fire oven, warm and pillowy, with that slight char that tells you it was made with love.

The cocktails were another highlight: a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned and a frothy Whiskey Sour that was so well-made it could easily compete with any high-end cocktail bar in the city. The flavors were elegant and layered, just like the atmosphere itself.

The music was nostalgic — the kind that makes you sway a little in your seat without even realizing it. The crowd felt connected, like everyone was collectively part of something special. It’s clear this restaurant was designed for experience, not just eating.

Homer captures what dining should feel like — intentional, soulful, and sensory. Everything from the lighting to the flavors to the flow of energy was in harmony. It’s rare to find a space that satisfies the body, mind, and spirit, but this one truly does.

✅ Highlights:
• Open kitchen with wood-fired ovens
• Exceptional cocktails (Old Fashioned + Whiskey Sour)
• Stunning hummus trio and hot pita
• Modern design with cozy, family-style warmth
• Wheelchair-accessible restroom
• Outdoor seating and a walk-up soft-serve window
• Great for date nights, solo dining, or small groups

💫 Tip: Sit at the bar if you love watching the chefs work their magic, but bring a light sweater for cooler nights.

This is one of those places that reminds you food is more than flavor — it’s connection, creativity, and care. Homer made me smile, sway, and feel deeply at home.

“Sure nice guy running the place. All in all pretty good. IMHO though the falafel was too thick and thus was a bit under cooked in the middle. Not traditional tahini either. I expected it to be better given the reviews. I will definitely try again, but next time I might ask for well done falafel and see if he has regular tahini. I hope this does it because it is super close to me!“

“BiBi serves authentic, affordable, and delicious Persian food all while keeping it healthy and not compromising on quality. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff at Minna Mediterranean are so friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared — the lamb in particular was outstanding! The restaurant was very clean and well-kept, and everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine and great service!“

“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...“

“I love the food, and the owner was very kind hearted.

I bought chicken sandwich, chicken platter, lentil soup and gyro plater, all are very delicious. The owner was very generous and kind hearted. I did not have enough money to pay because I forgot my wallet at home and he let me pay the next day😍.
Thank you sooo much Mohammad, may God reward you and your family greatly.
I am very happy costumer.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and amazing food!“

“Delicious, healthy scratch food in a warm environment!“

“This place was amazing. Great food and great customer service. The guy that helped me was very helpful and had a great attitude while helping me out. On top of this the wait for the food wasn’t long at all. I will definitely go back. Highly recommend.“

“If you're in the mood for some amazing Mediterranean food, you have to try the chicken gyro with french fries topped with feta cheese! The shish chicken kebab plate and the lamb shish kebab plate are both absolutely delicious too. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“best gyro spot on the ave. compared to a certain other option, the food here is more flavorful, less greasy, and the environment much less overstimulating. fries are really good, and orders come with garlic sauce and pickles (although i do wish they would bring back the olives instead)“

“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.“

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

Will definitely come back again“

“Délectable. North africanan delishessness.“

“Great food, large portions, so could split the entrees bt two people imo. The falafel is delicious and fresh, and the veggies wrap is toasted and packed well so its great on the go. Everytime I have been here the staff is really lovely and accommodating. Atmosphere is basic but clean!“

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

“This is probably the best shawarma in U-district and I might even say Seattle. The meat is very high quality and the flavor is so good it doesn’t need to be drenched is sauce. The garlic sauce is amazing with the fries that I needed another. The service is great and welcoming. The staff is the best and I even befriended Mohamed who was very nice. 10/10“

“The food is great! Service is fast. Smells amazing when you go in!“

“This place is DELICIOUS!!!! 🤤
I traveled all the way from the Washington fair grounds an hour away to try this food and it was SO WORTH IT!!!
I Tried the chicken/lamb rice special and the katata plate which is only comparable to drunken noodles but way more flavorful!!!
The sauces are worth trying each one! They're a little spicy at first but add so much depth to the flavors! The lentil soup was hot and fresh and exactly what I needed on a cold day! They have a nice sized dining area with a couple of large flat screens. The Gentleman there was very inviting and nice! I will definitely come back every time I'm in Tukwila! The fried fish is the next dish I'm getting i saw someone eating it and the plate is HUGE!!! Portions are huge quality is 10/10!!! I brought these two plates home to my kids who LOVED THEM!!! Thank you so very much for serving high quality food and treating me so well on my random visit! 💖“

“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!!! ✨“

“it’s like being served a fantastic home cooked meal by a professional chef on their day off. Incredible service, and unlike most restaurants in Seattle you leave FULL and satisfied. You can smell your food being made, and the restaurant is incredibly cozy with the kitchen able to be seen from your table. Wonderful experience and the food was amazing! Definitely worth every penny and reasonable prices too! They even gave us our gelato on the house!“

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

“This place is so cool. I felt like I was stepping into a 1920's jazz club. There was live jazz, dark and swanky, bartenders shaking up drinks and remarkable service. Not to mention the food was delicious. Try the deviled eggs, thank me later.😊“

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

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

“This is one of my favorite places to eat, and I have only great things to say about the staff and the food! I love coming here, because the guys are so friendly, quick and remember my order every time. The gyro salad is so good I could eat it everyday! 👌“
