37 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Burien

“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.“

“I just decided to stop in here in a whim when I was dropping my dog at the groomer's because I have a surplus of tzatziki at home that I wanted to grab some pita bread to have with. Decided to get an order of hummus and some baklava as well to see if I needed to come back at a later time and try more items....I'm so glad I did because I'm blown away by how good this hummus/pita/baklava is. It's so good that I haven't even pulled the tzatziki out of the fridge to eat with this stuff. And I have way too much tzatziki! And it's GOOD tzatziki too! I just don't need it because that's how great the hummus from Gyro Shawrma is.“

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

“This place is absolutely wonderful! The staff are always so welcoming and personable and truly make an exemplary gyro. My favorite dish is definitely the classic gyro as well as the dinner platter, i’m also a big salad girl and they make excellent salads! Truly something for everybody here and they will always serve you with a smile on their face! Open late is a plus, and i’ve definitely got more than a few late night snacks from here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Fabulous flavors and great spicing. Had lamb shawarma and the lamb/beef, both great. Baba ganush clearly freshly made and tangy. The owner came around and chatted with us, too; they import ingredients from abroad and it definitely tastes like it, especially for the baba ganush. Also, their juices are lovely and fresh, and the chai tea is also well spiced.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff and the most AMAZING garlic sauce. Highly recommend the Greek French fries 🍟“

“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. 🙏🙏🙏“

“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👏🏼“

“I come here maybe four or five times a year. Some places, even the best places, they'll let you down every once in a while. Sahara Cafe has never done that. If I have one gripe, it's the parking, but the location doesn't lend itself to resolving that and, besides, that's got nothing to do with the proprietors or the food and service they provide. If you've never had Somali food and you're interested, but not sure where to start, give this place a try. A good try. Go out of your way to come here. It's that good.“

“Fantastic food! Everything on the menu is delicious and they are very nice.“

“Best place to eat by yourself or with family“

“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 😅“

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

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“This place was honestly amazing. I ordered from Jafra four days in a row during Ramadan. Fun fact: Jafra is actually the name of a city in Syria. Everything I tried was so good, from the gyro to the shawarma plate. After seeing me order so many times, they even gave me a free donut. Great food and really kind people. Definitely recommend.They tie bags well and food remains so warm.“

“Delicious food made with high quality ingredients.“

“The best halal Mediterranean food in town. We just loved fresh salads & starters. BBQ grill was finger licking good and freshly made. Ambiance was too welcoming. All kinds of fresh and yummy Arabic authentic sweets reminded us of Dubai❤️ the serving size is large and price is very reasonable. I strongly recommend the place“

“Great food, great staff, one of my favorite places to grab a meal in Seattle.“

“This is a small, cozy family restaurant known for its warm ambiance and friendly owners who always keep the place spotless. Their gyro is exceptional, featuring freshly grilled meat with flavorful toppings, and the generous portions satisfy even the heartiest appetites. I particularly enjoyed sitting by the window, watching the lively scene at Alki Beach with views of the ocean, which added to the relaxing experience.“

“I had an amazing breakfast experience! The Mushroom and Swiss omelet was delicious, and the price was totally worth it - $13 for a filling meal with hashbrowns and toast. But what really stood out was the top-notch service. It's refreshing to see such excellent customer care, it's a rare gem these days!“

“Yusra & Sabah Restaurant is a must-try for incredible East African flavors! The goat meat with spiced rice (bariis) and tender suqaar are perfectly seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, paired with fluffy sabaayad flatbread and that fiery green sauce. Don’t miss the aromatic spiced tea (shah)—it’s the perfect finish. Everything halal, fresh, generous portions, and super welcoming vibe. Best Somali spot around; already planning my next visit!“

“Good Bar is the BEST bar ❤️ Amazing atmosphere! Delicious drinks & food, friendly staff, great vibes & music!“

“love their food! best Greek food in town, would eat it every day .“

“Love em. Never disappointed. Best Gyros 🥙 I’ve had“

“I ordered catering for a company event. Taylor gave me multiple options to choose from, prices were very fair, and the order was delivered on time. I was able to happily feed 20 construction guys with tasty, healthy food! I highly recommend them!“
