50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Bellevue

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

“I am an Airline Pilot and of course I travel a lot. But this place was beyond believe. Small restaurant and take out food as well. I’ve ordered lamb and meat shawarma and chicken kebab, it was so delicious and at a fair price as well. !! 05 star“

“I have ordered from this location many times through online delivery, and they’ve been consistently reliable. The vegetarian food from this location is always fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Their falafel is excellent — crisp on the outside and soft inside — and the hummus is smooth and perfectly seasoned. For the price, the portions are generous and feel like great value, which is one of the reasons I keep ordering from this particular branch.

My online orders have always arrived well-packed, with everything neatly separated and nothing leaking or getting soggy. The flavors stay intact even after delivery, which isn’t always the case with Mediterranean food from other places.

Communication from the restaurant has been good, and orders are usually ready on time for pickup or delivered exactly as requested.

The only minor challenge is parking around the area if you ever need to pick up, but for pure online ordering, this Garlic Crush location has been excellent. If you want tasty, well-priced vegetarian Mediterranean food delivered without hassle, this spot is a dependable choice.“

“Very nice place, great staff and delicious food, loved loved the Beef Gozleme and the Kunefe for dessert, totally recommend it.“

“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.“

“Wonderful food and service.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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 is the best! We had a party catered and the food was fabulous and beautifully presented. Everyone loved it. Thank you BiBi!“

“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...“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

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

“Incredible food and lovely staff. Wishing I lived closer so I could go daily.“

“ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن اكل طيب مطعم نظيف والعاملين روعه بالتعامل والمساعدة شكرآ لكم“

“I tried the lamb gyro plate and lamb gyro sandwich. The food is Fresh, delicious, and a big portion. Tried many Gyros around Seattle area before, but this one is very good. Didn’t try anything chicken.
Will definitely come back again“

“Délectable. North africanan delishessness.“

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

“Grabbed a beef and lamb Gyro + Greek Fries for lunch with 2 typed of their Baklava.

Overall the Gyro and Fries were both good in flavor and a generous amount. The Baklava on the other hand was not to my liking. I found both to be heavily soggy on their bottoms with Honey and not very crispy through the layers . The serving size of the Pistachio variety was also a little on the smaller side“

“Best Food In seattle“

“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“

“Great food specially the chicken plate and Kababs.“

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

“This place is great. It's a small space with limited seating, but I always order to go. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious and I love their sauces. Besides a traditional euro I always get a small order of Greek fries, but I always make sure and request crispy fries. This is one of my twice a month treats that I would not want to do without. I usually place a lock up order, and the food comes out reasonably fast, and the workers are very friendly.“

“Good food and good service always lots of fun when get there order food get free drink or free cake the owner of Sahara is business man his goal always make sure each customer come to place. Happy and blessed and make sure coming back that’s his goal“

“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!“

“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.😊“

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

“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!“

“Had the gyro sandwich and it brought back memories of a time when I used to work at a Greek restaurant. The people were friendly. Gyro very tasty. The sauce is an important component to a sandwich and this place did not disappoint. The atmosphere was average. I typically give 5 stars for a “WOW” experience so this is not to say it was not good. Same with service. This is not a table service establishment. It is counter service. The food did come up quickly in an almost full restaurant so good job on that. Also tried a bottled yogurt drink that was very delicious and not sweet. I’d like to know where that get it so I can buy a bunch just to have at home. I recommend this place if you’re looking for a healthy option.“

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