“Best Biryani you can eat! Authentic. Home style. Moderately spicy. Lamb, chicken, and sometimes goat. They always have amazing free Moroccan tea complimentary. Very friendly staff. Small area for seating. It's inside the Muslim community center in redmond ( maps). People are friendly and welcoming.“
“Efcharistó!I swung by on a whim and was drawn to this modern, comfy and comfortable joint boasting an awesome fresh and wholesome mediterranean grill-style menu. I hauled some fried cauliflower and a falafel salad to go, delicious and tasty with great levels of seasoning without an overhaul on dressing or oils. The falafel was super yummy, crispy yet light and fluffy to perfection. The cauliflower was a little soggy, but overall a solid meal and I thoroughly enjoyed this whilst feeling it was reasonable fare.This is also an awesome location and great joint to take your food to go and enjoy it in the lovely park on a sunny Sunday afternoon.Support local businesses!“
“Shawarma Time in Bothell exceeded my expectations with their incredibly tasty food. From the first bite, I was impressed by the flavors and quality of their shawarma. Each dish was a delightful combination of fresh ingredients and authentic spices. If you're craving delicious shawarma with reasonable price, Shawarma Time is definitely the place to go!“

“I've been in the area over 10 years now and confident I have tried all the different Persian spots in the Puget Sound. This one is the best, not only for the food but the staff are the friendliest and really take care of you. The food across the board is higher quality and more expertly prepared than anywhere else I've seen.“
“Classic Gyros is our favorite go-to for to-go! Just love their food and the staff are always super friendly. We especially enjoy their Greek Chicken Sandwich and their Mixed Falafel Sandwich. The authentic Middle Eastern food is delicious and the portions are generous.Parking: I have always been able to find a spot.“
“Didn’t know it was food truck but didn’t matter as the food was very flavorful and tasty. Its pretty big portion and the price is reasonable. The owner is very nice and friendly. There’s outdoor seating as well as a comfy indoor seating inside a shed like structure next to the truck.“
“Sooo delicious. One of the best restaurants in the Seattle area. Chicken pate, and then Ikura Salmon caviar linguini with lemon zest and dill. Also had the balsamic braised short rib with celeriac purée but forgot to take pictures. Too busy eating the deliciousness.“

“As a connoisseur of good food, I have tried almost all good restaurants in the Seattle area and I can vouch Bella Balducci’s quality of meat is simply peerless. If you like eating meat outside without burning a hole in the pocket, this is my top recommendation.“
“Never a bad day at this restaurant. We’ve been here so often, that Shay the owner remembers our names and orders. We rarely go to the same place twice, but the food and service here has blown us away. Both Shay and Moussad treat their customers like family. Food is always fresh, cooked perfectly and comes in huge quantities. They’ve been around for 15 years and have so many loyal customers that they sell out on most days!“
“This is some of the best restaurant food I’ve had. Great taste, high quality ingredients, and reasonable prices. Service was also attentive and friendly - it was like I was eating in a friend’s kitchen. The interior is very plain and a bit dated, but don’t let that fool you. Eat here once and you’ll be back!“

“The food is just delicious!! Very Good quality ingredient by far one of the best meat I ever tested. Recommend chicken sandwich and class burger. The shawarma was ok (I did not like too much the spices in the sauce but the chicken was very good)Only one improvement I wish was made is to increase the fries’ quality otherwise you will still be a bit hungry hahaThe restaurent is super clean! The staff are very nice too.Inside there’s only 2 small tables a bit crowded but during cold weather it’s very good to have.“
“We went to this place for a breakfast day after valentine's with my husband. It's warm and cozy place to eat. Food was great!! Ambiance is homely, people don't mind if it's quite loud that's what I like about it. COUNTRY STYLE!“
“This is one of the good restaurants with delicious Turkish style food. The amount of food is small, but it is delicious and tastes good. The atmosphere of this restaurant is actually part of the food court of the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue.“
“It's been years since I had been at this restaurant so I was delighted that it remained consistent all these years later. We were welcomed and seated immediately on a not so busy weeknight evening. We were offered bread service immediately, that lovely fresh bread with garlic oil was amazing!! We opted for the bruschetta for an appetizer, it was divine! The baguette was so good, and the tomatoes were fresh and plump! For the main, I ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce and Italian sausage, while my partner had the Papperdelle dish. Both were fresh and the sauces were cooked well. The prices look scary but we agreed it was great value for money. Our server was great too. The interior has an old style Italian feel. Overall a lovely experience, glad to see this small local business still open.“
“We have eaten here a few times and it is always great food.Today we ordered delivery and the delivery driver missed one of the two bags. Not the fault of the restaurant at all, just unlucky. The restaurant called me and let me know what happened, then offered to deliver the second bag themselves. It wasn't very far and I offered to come grab it myself but they insisted. They delivered the second half of the order and even included an extra dessert and sauces.Wow. So far above and beyond what I would expect. They are incredibly nice. The food is great too.“
“I’ll definitely come back, the falafel sandwich was really delicious. I asked for some spice and I would recommend that you ask too if you like spicy! Plus the Baklava was super delicious, it was like ASMR biting into it. The top layer was so crispy and made a super satisfying crunch noise when eating it.“
“Turkish pide is now something I will look for, thanks to Istanbul Cuisine in Bellevue, WA. The taste, texture, aroma, and presentation of their pide was WOW! Everything about it was delightful and balanced - every bite was delicious! We also love their Ciq Kofte and Kunefe - rich and satisfying! A must try for those who seek well-made food.“
“This month, I come here almost every day in the late afternoon, I really liked it here, I like it when a husband and wife cook, they do it very quickly and deliciously, I'm already here as a regular customer, I order from them earlier and they greet us with a smile, thank you very much, Mary and Juan.“
“The Lamb Schwarma plate is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a portion to generously have leftovers later! The soup that comes with their plates is comforting without being heavy, and I could eat it every day. Also, if you love garlic, their MK fries are a must buy - my friend & I shared a half order, and came nowhere close to finishing them!“
“10 out of 10!!! It was so good. We were on Spring Break from the Eastside and it was one of our highlights from the week at Ames lake. The food was very good! The Naan/Pita was fresh and to die-for. And it was refilled (not an ordered item). We had the Zat'ar, a beef and lamb dish as well as the Sharshuka (sp). The Mint lemonade was killer as well. You gotta stop! We WILL go there again...not far off of I90.“
“It's been a while since I rated them! The meat is now more standard; maybe even a little on the thin side. We all really liked the lamb/beef gyro meat. The hummus is a little chunkier, and you can add extra meat for currently $2 per Oz. There is a wide variety on their menu, still. The baklava was perfection. Drinks come with one free refill. The pita is soft and tender.“
“Omg finally a Pakistani restaurant that offers mild options AND has delicious food. They have happy hour every day and even sell mocktails!!! Their lycheetini is so so so good. I honestly loved everything on their menu. Their naans are baked fresh and included with the curries. My new favorite restaurant, honestly the best one in the area. I drive 30 mins out for them bc it's worth it Vegetarian options: Lots of options including both South Asian curries and Mediterranean food like hummusDietary restrictions: Offers vegetarian, GF, and alcohol free options (mocktails)Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“When food looks good, it tastes good. Presentation is everything, and the presentation was bright and colorful. I had the gyro with vegetables on the side. The gyro was served open-faced with slices of tomato. The white onions were thinly sliced.The side vegetables were blanched and quick sautéed to maintain appearance, texture, crispness, and taste. Very well presented. The potatoes were cooked in chicken stock, which gave them a warm yellow appearance and a delicious flavor.My SO had the dolmades lunch. The handmade and cooked in tomato sauce. Served with the same side vegetables as the gyro. She also had the lentil soup when she consumed completely and did not share even a taste.Almost forgot, we shared the combination appetizer platter. It came with feta cheese, olives, skordalia, hummus, pita, and something else, the name of which I can not remember. All done very colorful and very tasty.The service was very good. The waiter was polite, and the service was quick. They even gave us an extra pita for our appetizer.All in all I wouldvery much recommend this restaurant. One thing to add, we went after lunch rush and before dinner. If you go during peak times of the day, they do get busy.“
“Very nice lady up front. Was very busy with online orders and picking up the phone for orders too but was still kind. I love Greek food, traditional gyro is yummy! Pita bread & hummus too. It also was cozy and inviting. Had to take a homemade baklava for the road“
“Average Mediterranean restaurant. We had the mixed veggies plate with dolmas and Greek fries. The falafel was okay, but a bit overcooked. The rest of the food was good. Service was great, the person who took the order was very nice and patient to answer my nagging “
“Fantastic food, generous portions, very fresh. Hard to find good vegetarian or vegan options in this area. Hummus republic is the best one I’ve found so far and I’ll be returning frequently.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options (not just sides)“
“I ordered the chicken kabob with the Greek salad, the chicken was amazing. Some of the best I have ever had.The guy at the counter, however, would not allow us to sit and eat there even though we were there 20 minutes prior to close and there were several other people still eating. It was a bummer because we had to jam into the car to eat because it was cold outside.I'd say go a little earlier. It's just an order at the counter place, but food is well worth it.“
“After trying falafels from many different places, I have finally found the place with best falafels hands-down. Also, best place for mediterranean salads. There are couple of mediterranean places even closer to where I live, but I choose to come here for my falafels and salads. The guys working on the front are also nice and help you out with the toppings.“
“4.5 StarsCasual Mediterranean spot located in a plaza.I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($12.99) - the portions were awesome (it could have basically been two wraps) and it was stuffed full of protein. It also had peppers and tomatoes and such in it. Super tasty.The white and hot sauces we asked for on the side were the cherry on top.Cons: my friend noted it was very greasy and wasn't a very :"authentic" shawarma wrap (too minced).I loved it though. Order at the counter and sit down.“
