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

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

“Today, I had my long time favorite, the purple falafel wrap, at the Ballard farmers market after almost two years and it was just as yummy as I remember it… they make the best falafels in the greater seattle area… crispy outside, moist and cooked inside… and that lovely purple slaw 😋. I’m glad they’ve moved to this new location! One more reason to visit Ballard now 😀“

“Delicious. Tried the lentil soup and kookoo sabzi; both felt like reasonable value for the market.

I went here off peak, so was able to easily order and get seating. The food took a few minutes to be ready, but it was definitely worth it!

I will come back.“

“I had a great experience at Shawarma Land. The food was very delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was respectful, friendly, and fast. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, and the staff treated customers with kindness and professionalism.
I really enjoyed my meal here and I definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for the wonderful service!“

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.

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!“

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

“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 .“

“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👏🏼“

“Best place to eat by yourself or with family“
