50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Renton

“I don't normally rave about restaurants, because let's be honest, most around here are simply not that good. This place is absolutely delicious! Got the gyro plate. Meat was tender and moist. Salad was fresh and delightful. Rice was out of this world! Absolutely loved it! HUGE portions. They also use the compostable takeout boxes. We will definitely be back.“

“We came for a phone repair next door and accidentally found one of the best-value meals of our Seattle day.

We ordered a gyro plate, a gyro, and fries. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned, portions were generous, and the space was clean. Even better, we walked out spending around $40 to $45 INCLUDING TIP for the whole meal.

Seattle gets expensive quickly, so finding a casual spot where two people can eat this well without spending a fortune deserves some recognition.

This isn’t a fancy, drawn-out lunch stop. Come hungry, order some shawarma or a gyro, eat extremely well, and keep exploring.

TRAVEL TIP: If you’re getting a phone repaired at A-Solution next door, this is the move while you wait. We stumbled into that combination completely by accident, and I’d recommend doing exactly what we did.“

“wonderful atmosphere, service and food! ❤️“

“Amazing food! Top Quality! Well worth the Price!“

“I’ve been going to this place for about a year now and their food is incredible! It is made with really fresh ingredients and they’re quick! The Arabic gyro is literally the best thing! The gyro salad and their hummus plate are also super tasty!“

“I'm mad my friend didn't show me this spot earlier!!! For starters, we had the mezze platter. It came with dolmas (so good!! Perfect marriage of rice and spices!), tzatziki (so fresh! The mint...yum!!), baba ganoush (with a smokey hint), hummus (so fresh!!), tabouli (best ive had in a long time! It was not overwhelming with parsley... super enjoyable. So good we got orders to go!), and the piyaz (a chilled white bean salad with ginger root, onion, tomato, EVOO, and garlic...so good we got orders to go!). Entrees we had the mesopotamian lamb and beef (the stew was so comforting..like a hug. The lamb was so tender!), and the lamb chops (love the rosemary and garlic!) For dessert...freshhhhh baklava, freshest ive had. It had just been made. It was so perfect! It's not so heavy compared to the normal baklava with honey that Im used too. Looks like I have a new favorite Mediterranean spot to go to!!! The staff was great. The food was amazing.“

“Wonderful food and service.“

“Absolutely impeccable food. I’ve had SO many gyros from so many different places and it was literally the best I’ve ever had. The hummus, the chicken, the beef + lamb, fries, rice, sauce— EVERYTHING was so good! And it’s close to home!! Will be stopping in again soon.

PS : the falafel sample was also the best I’ve had. Chefs kiss“

“Had food for ten recently delivered for my birthday through ezCater. Everything was fantastic. Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve eaten. We had ordered buffet style food, but now I want to visit their location to try other dishes.

The rice was very unique (in a good way). The beef and chicken meat were perfect. I’m not normally a big fan of hummus (I’ve always preferred Baba Ganoush), but theirs was really tasty!

Definitely recommend!“

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

“I love coming here! Food is always top tier! The staff is friendly and timely and you never have to wait long even when it's busy. It's right in the heart of Capitol Hill and access is easy for when I'm coming home from work and I need a quick but filling bite to eat. Always worth stoping by for!“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“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 .“

“What a perfect grub session! Got some falafels,baba ghanoush, and Greek fries and it all rocked. My only complaint and the only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars for atmosphere is because it was hot as Hades in there. It's not the prettiest joint, but it was very well priced and delicious so we just enjoyed the heat. Overall 5 stars!“

“Very nice clean well-lit place to go
It is the best for takeout there are a couple seats not really good for groups but the food is phenomenal
I have been there a dozen times at least and I will still keep going back
When is the best parts that most of the guys are wearing chef's Coats and the music is always on point“

“Well….. there’s a reason this place gets talked about a lot and it’s not just that you cannot reserve a table so its basically you and luck if its no wait or a full 45min. We got lucky and got a table immediately. Now service for the most part was great, but I am going to immediately dock a point because a plate was set on my phone, without even asking if I could move it and also yes there was plenty of space on the table. I didn’t ask for a side of attitude with my food.

Lets talk food, there is some serious magic happening with every single plat they served especially the vegetables, but even the dips which we got the trio of was so very good, we got the hummus, labneh and another that was infused with beets all three were incredible and we knew to order the extra order of bread. The vegetables were grilled onion (was actually difficult to eat as they were very slippery) but the flavor was on point, the asparagus which was so incredibly good and kohlrabi that was my husband’s absolute favorite. For our larger plates we ordered the chicken which was cooked perfectly (absolutely order garlic spread to go with this) and the Lamb, the cook on this was excellent, though we preferred the lamb leg to the kebab.

Worth the trip my friends, also check out your soft serve flavor which continuously change (or go to their sister location a few steps away if your more traditional and want a chocolate swirl)“

“I've been coming to Gyros Place regularly and it's become one of my favorite lunch spots. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The gyros are always packed with quality ingredients, and everything I've tried has been great.

What really keeps me coming back is the consistency and friendly service. The staff is welcoming, orders come out quickly, and it's clear they care about their customers. Having Gyros Place right in my building is a huge bonus, but I'd go out of my way to eat here even if it wasn't.

If you're looking for a reliable spot for a great meal, I highly recommend giving Gyros Place a try.“

“Great food...good value :)“

“Wow. This place was amazing. Helen was a great server- she had the best recommendations. Our cocktails were amazing and unique and the Burrata and deviled eggs were two of the best things we ate in the city! That pesto on the burrata was phenomenal. 😋 Definitely recommend!“

“Really great food and options with great friendly service. Appreciate you all and thank goodness for DoorDash too. 🙏🙏🙏“

“In our experience, Seattle eateries have consistently delivered exceptional meals, but Miss Cafe and their Turkish breakfast exceeded all expectations. Generously portioned for two, the spread featured an array of fresh, delectable dishes that showcased the chef's skill. Standouts included the cheese pastry and a rich, tomato, cheesy egg stew. However, the true pièce de résistance was the heavenly honey and cream, perfectly paired with crusty bread - a flavor combination that bordered on sublime. Leaving some for my boyfriend was nothing less than an act of pure love, but we'll certainly return again and again during our short stay in the city.“

“Love this place. Don’t bother with the menu, just order the shish tawook:)“

“Friendly staff and the most AMAZING garlic sauce. Highly recommend the Greek French fries 🍟“

“I just decided to stop in here in a whim when I was dropping my dog at the groomer's because I have a surplus of tzatziki at home that I wanted to grab some pita bread to have with. Decided to get an order of hummus and some baklava as well to see if I needed to come back at a later time and try more items....I'm so glad I did because I'm blown away by how good this hummus/pita/baklava is. It's so good that I haven't even pulled the tzatziki out of the fridge to eat with this stuff. And I have way too much tzatziki! And it's GOOD tzatziki too! I just don't need it because that's how great the hummus from Gyro Shawrma is.“

“ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن اكل طيب مطعم نظيف والعاملين روعه بالتعامل والمساعدة شكرآ لكم“

“Had a great time at this bar, the interior was really awesome, a spooky, eerie vibe! Loved it and definitely recommend stopping in for a drink!“

“Got mixed meat with rice, tzatziki and hummus as takeout. Huge portions of good quality food, for a great price as a meal deal. Highly recommend this option if you can't choose! The only criticism is the hummus was runny and not thick.“

“Snack gyro Great restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The bathrooms were also very clean, which I really appreciated. Great service top welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌 👍 bes gyros in seattle“

“I was skeptical at first...For some place that is open 24h.But this is legit really good. I ordered the chicken shawarma, the garlic sauce and the french fries that came with.It was phenomenal. The presentation of the food and the little extras with the olives and peppercinnis was awesome.I enjoy every bit of it.. highly recommend.“

“Best place to eat by yourself or with family“

“The service was great and the portions were great for the price. I came here with 3 families, a large group! The food didn’t take long to come out and it was really tasty. Definitely recommend :) Everyone left feeling full and satisfied“

“Stopped by Olive Tree Mediterranean Restaurant for dinner and had a really great experience. The food came out fresh and full of flavor, with everything tasting well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. I ordered a mixed grill plate, and the meats were tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, paired with fluffy rice and fresh salad. The hummus and warm pita were also a highlight—simple but really well done. Portions were generous, so I definitely left satisfied. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making the whole meal feel easy and comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot for either a casual dinner or a relaxed night out. I'd absolutely come back again.“

“Best Food In seattle“

“Delicious food made with high quality ingredients.“

“Amazing food! It smelled so good! If you dislike onions I don't suggest it. I didn't end up being able to eat most of my food because the entire thing is full of onions. After picking them off the chicken though it was sooooo tasty!“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“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!!! ✨“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“Delicious falafel salad! Thanks to the other reviewer who mentioned them having properly labeled vegan and vegetarian items. The menu clearly distinguishes between vegetarian and vegan items. For those who eat meat, all the meat is grass-fed and certified halal. Staff is pleasant, food is tasty, and music is at a good volume. The seating and tables are comfortable.“

“The Shop Agora is Seattle's very best restaurant. Nikos' food and wine selection is a hidden gem - unbelievably more delicious than the approachable price tag would suggest! But the priceless part is Nikos' thoughtful entertainment. He curates the small restaurant's crowd each evening, from a collection of happenstance strangers to neighbors who've raised a glass together. Tip well. Nikos and his team earn it every time.“

“Great taste friendly staff and good sitting space though not the greatest for families. We were a large group and had great time here.

We pretty much tried everything they had and it was all made flavourful.

We’ll definitely return again when downtown next.“

“What a magnificent find this was! Impeccable service, Andaluca offers a romantic and elegant ambiance to complement the perfect culinary experience. We started with the soft-ripened Murciana goat cheese and house made preserves, the star of the night was their roasted beets and citrus salad, the Andaluca paella simply delicious and the flavors of the preserved lemon chicken transported us to the Mediterranean! I have to add that the cocktails were also an experience! We all agreed this was by far one of the best meals we’ve had. Highly recommended!“

“My wife and I wanted to experience Somali food for the first time. We had only heard good things about East African cuisine on social media so we decided to see for ourselves.

The food was amazing and absolutely delicious. Considering the quality and flavor, the prices were very reasonable. We were really impressed by the food and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

One thing you should keep in mind is that the restaurant can get crowded during peak hours, so you may have to wait a little longer for your food. Other than that, it’s absolutely worth it. This is a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience authentic Somali cuisine.“

“The food was amazing! The Turkish coffee and the hummus alone is worth the drive. Their side sauces are terrific too. Highly recommend the lamb gyro. Service was very nice too. Tacoma location. 5 out of 5!“

“Playlist was tops. Food is absolutely delectable. Made to order and served up in very generous portions. The vast array of complimenting flavors, textures and aromas made my palette very happy. Service is genuine and friendly. The ambiance was special. I highly recommend this bistro!“

“Good Bar is the BEST bar ❤️ Amazing atmosphere! Delicious drinks & food, friendly staff, great vibes & music!“

“Very nice place, great staff and delicious food, loved loved the Beef Gozleme and the Kunefe for dessert, totally recommend it.“

“I love this place.
The perfect food after a night out.
I had the lamb shawarma, about ten bucks, it does the job. I lamb is tender almost perfect.
The only thing I would add would be a pinch of sour. Maybe a little tanginess. But it still hit the spot.
Definitely coming back
Oh the customer service is perfect and welcoming and patient with the drinks that stumble in.
Perfecto“
