Middle Eastern Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“I came to Hanoon with my husband and friend for my birthday. We ordered “hanoon's d'lilni experience” for the table and it did not disappoint! It was a lot of food, all delicious and fresh. It was nice to have such a variety. I’d be happy to eat here again. It would make a great date spot. I’d like to try their lunch menu in the future as well.“

“It was my first time here. We had the hummus, baba ghanoush, lamb shanks, Cornish hen, and beef stew.The Cornish hen and lamb shanks were the most delicious entrees. The rice that came with the entrees were cooked perfectly. Goes well with the entrees.“

“By far the freshest and best pita I've had in the U.S. thus far. Every small plate was also bursting with flavor. The smoked & shaved rutabaga w/ pistachio milk, apple & barberries dish had a flavor profile reminiscent of a savory key lime pie and was one of the favorites that we tried on the current menu. Highly recommend“

“got the Gyro Saj Shawarma & Greek Friesthis contained two main things - the sandwich and the greek friesfirst, i thought the sandwich was pretty goodwhile not using pita bread, which is typical for a gyro and usually what i prefer,this place used more of a tortilla for the breading insteadi did think this bread was toasted very well and the overall outside of the wrap was goodas far as the inside, i very much liked the way the ingredients were packed into the wrapwhile it may not look super big, each half of the sandwich was packed really tightly with a lot ofdifferent ingredients - which made it really fillingthis also let the flavors really combine since they were mixed up in close proximity inside the sandwichthe sandwich also scores high in portion size - it really had a lot of meat and overall ingredientsthe meat inside the sandwich was good - not greatwhere this disappointed me a bit was in the greek fries - there wasn't enough white saucethe cheese was decent - but the lack of sauce made the fries not really stick to the cheese that mucha lot of fries were just dryso these were still decent, but i've certainly had a lot betteri did like the crisp on theseSandwich: 8.5/10Greek Fries: 7/10Overall: 8.15/10“

“This place is absolutely delicious. I have only tried a handful of their dishes including: their Greek salad, Mezze plate (the baba ghanoush is fantastic), and lentil soup (was flavorful and made me want more). All items came with delicious pillowy soft pita bread. I also ordered their Ouzi plate, it wasn't as flavorful as the rest of the items but regardless I'm giving 5 stars for the great customer service (Marco) and quality of food and flavor. I can't wait to come back and try more items.“

“Had to check out the falafel and here's my review... I'd like to state up front that as someone who lived in Israel for years and has always been very critical of "hippie" falafel and most Americans attempts which always seem to include lettuce, which has absolutely no place in a falafel, this was as close to an authentic falafel that I have seen in the western states. That being said, I found no reason to go back. Been there, done that. (Although it is a Hummus Bar and I didn't bother to try that because I make extraordinarily good hummus at home.) I've been avoiding bread on my new diet but was intrigued that there was a new source in town for fresh pita, which can make or break a falafel sandwich. I tried to secure an end to taste, (the top section that is cut off to stuff the pita,) the ends are traditionally tossed but my attempt was rebuffed by the staff who claimed they used them so I went ahead and ordered the "stuffed falafel" sandwich. What I got when I ordered the Stuffed Falafel was better than any pita I've ever had in Seattle, but it wasn't up to snuff with a traditional pita. It was too bready and airy for me, but it held together very well, when it was completely full of all the ingredients and sauce. Everything inside was very yummy, a great tahini sauce and tasty falafel balls, though I thought the falafel was a bit under-cooked and soft. The mix of cucumbers, tomatoes & Israeli-style pickles was great but there was none of the expected red or purple cabbage. The waitress claimed that there was cabbage in there but it was white, but I couldn't taste it at, a definite let down. At my favorite falafel shops in Jerusalem and NYC you load your own veges and choose your own sauces and I always go heavy on cabbage & pickles. No problems though, I wolfed it right down... :) I also tried a side order of חצילים and it was good, but nothing to write home about. In conclusion it was the best falafel I ever had in Seattle, but I'm still looking for that completely authentic falafel shop to come around.“

“Absolutely delicious. Cooked fresh there. Delightful! I loved the food. The owner is so friendly. Very healthy food, very reasonable. The 2 other guests raved about the food. There's this location, one on Graham Street and a 3rd. I brought a dish home for breakfast. Wonderful restaurant!“

“Mr. Gyros catered our faculty/staff school luncheon today (140 ppl). The compliments were endless...everyone was so happy with the quality, taste and presentation of the food. It's always a good sign when people are coming back for 2nds! Thank you Sammy for making our event super special. You definitely made our faculty/staff very happy today!“

“Love this place. The people there are sweet and engaging.. The Palestinian food is so delicious and fresh. Im always trying something new but tend to get the chicken falafel quite often. Highly recommend! I hope they open up a bigger location elsewhere with indoor dining.Vegetarian options: Eggplant falafel is yum“

“I love this place! Some of the best Mediterranean food in Seattle. I’m originally from Detroit where there are so many good Middle Eastern restaurants and was sad to discover that there are few here in Seattle. I’ve been here many times and have never been disappointed. Their hummus is SO good! Many vegan choices and they are happy to accommodate. Be sure to check out the Mediterranean grocery store downstairs-so many good things in there and the prices are quite good.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian/vegan options and they are happy to accommodate to suit your needs.“

“I love this place! My go-to for falafel & middle eastern food. They actually have tahini sauce with the falafel, which I've really missed in Seattle - other places offer only tzatziki (which Fork also has. Nice guys, accommodate special requests, reasonably priced, quick service. Loud & hot in summer! Small place for eat-in (3 or 4 booths & maybe 4 tables for 2.“

“Amazing all around. I ordered the chicken (joojeh) kabob and the beef (koobideh) kabob with grilled tomato and it was amazing. So affordable too. Authentic and delicious. And the service was quick for being made to order. I can't wait until the next time i go to the market to get more. Highly recommend to anyone who like persian food or wants to try something new! 10/10“

“This is a little hole in the wall place at Pike's place market. We wanted a quick lunch and we came upon this place and it smelled amazing. The guy who owns it is a one man show and his food is quick, fresh, flavorful and abundant! I had a falafel sandwich which was delicious, y son had the Shawarma platter and it was amazing. Onions and tomatoes are caramel iced on the griddle and served on top of tender marinated beef, yellow rice, hummus and a green salad is also on the plate and then it is garnished with 3 sauces. We were in Seattle for 4 days and we ate there 3 of“

“I have gone here numerous times, and everytime they are so nice and the food is absolutely amazing. I feel like I am part of their family. So if you want an amazing Gyro and a smiling face this is the place to goVegetarian options: Numerous Mediterranean selections which are all veggies and some bread all of it amazing“

“Hit this location just after opening, so it was quiet, and we were the first people in. The food is really good. We got lamb shawarmas. The garlic sauce with the tehini really stood out with the lamb and everything. The lamb was a bit dry, and the ingredients could have been distributed a bit better. Esthetically, the place could do with something. It seems open but cluttered at the same time. All in all, check this place out. Oh, and on a final note, the ketchup bottles on the table are not ketchup. Ketchup has a white lid. The stuff in the all red bottles is amazing, but if you dont like spicy, you dont want it, haha.“

“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!!! ✨“

“We ordered Moushakal (Labneh tasted the best), fatteh and shish taouk! The shish taouk is chicken kebab which is tasty but not unique. Fatteh was just AWESOME. I’m going to come back to eat just that! And then we ordered Baklava, which was delicious. I’ve had baklava in several places and I’ve never been a fan. But having it here changed that. It was the best Baklava I’ve ever had. Totally recommend this place!!“

“The food is ok. Nothing extra ordinary, but its really difficult for me to understand why they add 18% tips by default. Even for group of 4 or just one person for that matter. Price of food really on higher side with minimum quantity. Another thing is you cant split a bill. So on one table they only accept one credit card. This place is not for celebrating with friends for that reason.“

“I eat here for lunch on a regular basis as my office is nearby. It's one of the better options for a fast casual lunch in the Denny triangle area. My favorite is the falafel wrap, it has a full pickle spear in it, and I love pickles. Also love how many veggies are in it. Chefs kiss! Pro tip: order online ahead of time to skip the lines as they can get long.“
