“How does this place not have higher reviews?! I got the falafel and eggplant sandwich but as a tortilla wrap, with the fries on the side. It came with this delicious sauce that I think was tamarind. The dolmas were also great, real fresh and warm dolmas not the canned kind that some places sell and upcharge the heck out of. They even gave us some tasty soup while we were waiting for our order to get made. Overall great food for the price point, take out held up very well on the drive home, and better quality than any other Mediterranean spot in this area.“
“This is my second time going there I got myself lamb&beef shawarma also spicy chicken shawarma with the sauce that gives a little kick to it sheeeeeeesh & let me tell you this, it was fresh well seasoned, amazing full of flavors, healthy & delicious. This is by far the best shawarma I had Mashallah.“
“The tradition of finding some of the best food in the most unassuming places could not be more true of Ishtar. This was our first time here and even though we're dans of a hole in the wall, even we were suspicious. But it was a slam dunk. The owner was awesome, service was friendly and familiar, and we learned they have been open for 10 years, surviving COVID. Could not recommend this place more.We got the chicken tikka and the lamb gyro, both were excellent. When you're craving a gyro, come here.“
“My partner had shawarma stuck in his head. He wanted to hit up our usual spot in shoreline, but it's far from kent so that was a no. We were doing laundry down farther in the strip mall, and I saw this place was 300 ft away on maps. Seemed meant to be.This is a nicer sit down place, but casual. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you.I ordered a gyro with the beef/lamb gyro meat and a greek salad. Partner ordered chicken shawarma with regular fries. We also shared some feta fries. The meal was around 50, but that's just because the extra fries were huge and $12.All of the food was great. Fresh, authentic flavours. The one thing I was hoping for was a super flavourful punch in the face. The flavours here were lower key than I'm used to.All that being said, its a bit more expensive than most places, and definitely just a once in a while splurge. But I might be back.“
