I was 5 minutes late after closing time, but they still accepted the order!
Thanks, guys, thanks management! The best kobideh kebab in Washington; their recent upgrade is great. The food is amazing and fresh! Go get a kobideh kabab🤤

I had an amazing experience at Bella Balducci’s Mediterranean Cuisine! The service was absolutely perfect — extremely friendly, efficient, and always with a smile. The staff truly makes you feel welcome from start to finish.
The food was outstanding: authentic and flavorful, with fresh ingredients and dishes prepared with great care. Everything I tried was delicious, well-seasoned, and perfectly balanced — from the appetizers to the dessert.
The ambiance also enhances the experience: cozy, clean, and with an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere.

Without a doubt, I highly recommend Bella Balducci’s to anyone looking for a memorable meal. Five stars all the way! I’ll definitely be back and will recommend it to friends and family.

I ordered through Uber Eats, and they added a huge packaging fee—around $25—but didn’t include any utensils, even though I selected that option. My delivery address was a hotel; shouldn't they automatically include utensils in that case? I was really frustrated because I was extremely hungry and had already waited nearly an hour for my order!

Update: I've just finished the food, and to be honest, it was really delicious! I wish they had better packaging and more thoughtful customer service.

Bella Balducci’s is truly a gem in Kirkland! The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty Mediterranean meal, fresh grilled kebabs, or a vibrant salad, they never disappoint.

The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive—always making you feel like part of the family. The atmosphere is relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for both quick lunches and leisurely dinners. You can really tell that the people behind Bella Balducci’s care deeply about their food and their customers.

It’s one of our go-to spots, and we’re so happy to have it in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

This place is our go-to weekend spot off late. The king’s choice has the tastiest and juiciest meat items I’ve ever tasted in a Mediterranean restaurant. Highly recommend this place!

My favs are the king’s choice (beef, chicken skewers with fragrant butter rice and pickled veggies), koobideh. For apps, we order Hummus, eggplant starters, cucumber yogurt salad which are all so tasty. The Persian tea has a mint and rose fragrance and is very refreshing.

The kings choice platter that came with salad and rice was plenty for two of us, but we also got the saffron ice cream and sample platter. The ice cream wasn’t too sweet either.

Definitely recommend the kings choice platter and ice cream.

Parking spaces are a bit narrow but weren’t too many cars when we were there. We saw multiple cars double parked.

Awesome Persian food in Kirkland (or dare I say, in Seattle) 😋😋. I was here just last weekend and liked it so much that I dragged my friend along today.

I had an amazing time at this restaurant! Their Vaziri is bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and the Fesenjoon? Absolutely divine, with that rich, tangy sauce that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommend trying both dishes for a true taste of Persian heaven!

At this point (July 2025) I found Bella to offer the tastiest and freshest Persian Kabob in Seattle area. Farshad and other staff members have always been very nice to me and respectful. The food gets ready pretty quickly. The saffron ice cream is great and they do have Coca Cola in bottles made with real sugar (not corn syrup like the canned ones).

I’m try to give that garbage restaurant Business but there food is absolutely ridiculous and it is not what they told and the attitude after I complain is fabulous. They said they don’t care about us and say don’t buy anything from us anymore. That’s it that’s an attitude. From the Onewr and management
