Middle Eastern Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“Very amazing and wonderful owners. Love the food! Just had them cater my wedding and they made everything so delicious and smooth for our wedding. They took care of everything and I am so glad that they got to be apart of our special day. I am so thankful for the level of service they had provided for us and their willingness to take the stress factors out and take care of us. They were like “whatever you need let us know” and I could not express enough how thankful for that I am!“

“Oh my goodness I asked the lady who was working to give me her favorite and I got over a foot long of whatever the wrap was that was her favorite it's probably the best thing ever. Filled with cheese and spices and olives and basil I don't have any photos bc when I got home I devoured it in five minutes but it stayed warm for two hours in my bag and it's incredible definitely stop here if you can. Next time I'm there I am going to try the rice pudding 😋“

“Love this place!! So delicious, quality dishes that aren't too pricy and love the staff!“

“Went in for the first time today for Shawarma and was not disappointed! You could tell the man behind the counter was really passionate about the food he was making, and he gave us good recommendations! The food was amazing: Great depth of flavor, large portions, and served cleanly! I'm absolutely going back, and bringing anyone I can convince to go!“

“Had a late lunch, ordered 2 lamb & beef Shwarma plates with a side of falafel. The rice was perfectly tender, the hummus creamy, and the lamb & beef were tender. Salad was great, too. The falafel were freshly made and still piping hot, crispy crunchy on the outside and delicious inside. Great meal!“

“The lemonade tasted fresh and seemed like it was made with real lemons. It was strong, tart, and really good.

I also ordered beef kubideh and it tasted very authentic. The meat, rice, and salad all went really well together.“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“This was my first time eating at a local restaurant since moving to the CD from Bellevue (good riddance), and I was welcomed with warmth in a super inviting environment — big open windows and adorable outdoor seating. My food did not take very long at all to receive even though (as far as I could tell) there was only one person working. Right before he handed me my food, he said something so unexpectedly kind: that it’s nice to see me here! He handed me a beautifully seasoned (free) falafel on a fork.

It put the biggest smile on my face. I took my food home, I’m eating it right now, and I’m still smiling. The Greek fries are so delightful — they’re really crispy and so fresh compared to other ones I’ve tried. What a great experience! I love this neighborhood so much. ❤“

“Went here for lunch and enjoyed my Gyro Shawarma plate!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“Hate to say it… eh. Always a wait of course but the tables are so close you’re basically in your neighbors convo and the service is pretty rushed. Plates are tiny (one tiny pita for 2 people ??) and I’ve had similar creative dishes for less unfortunately. They’re making good food but I think the other variables make it a miss for me, wouldn’t go out of my way to return“

“Samir is the the best!!!! Always delicious, clean restaurant with the most phenomenal customer service!!“

“food is consistently great!
service is friendly and they are fast.
the salad that comes with the plates is meh, but they will happily sub something else.
falafel, shawarma, fries are all flavorful. hummus is smooth and topped w delish olives. highly recommend!“

“Went there for lunch on a Sunday afternoon.

Very quick service and tasty food. Portions were very generous too. This will likely become our regular place whenever we go to East Green Lake Park over the weekends

Good parking too“

“Shawarma King has the best food and the best employees!“

“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!!! ✨“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“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.“
