Mixed Grill is delicious. Their Tahina sauce was wired tho. No garlic sauce with the chicken and a bit on the expensive side.

Amazing spot, i come here pretty much every time i visit seattle. The food always hits, especially their baba ghanouj is excellent, the falafel is probably the best ive ever had in my LIFE! The chicken shwarma had me crying from joy. The grape leaves rolls werent my fav ive ever had but still great! Absolutely banging food and theyre open late which is so nice. Love this place. Didnt take any photos of my food last night because i was starving and ate it all but trust it was beautiful and delicious.

The food is incredible! The Azui Lamb shank plate was incredible and more food than I could finish. We also got the Gyro fries which were amazing and difficult to stop eating!

I ordered the #2 plate “kofta” kabab plate, with Greek fries to go. It comes with a salad, pita bread, hummus, rice, and the kofta meat. I got a completely different kind of meat, and extremely small “salad” with no lettuce, onion, or anything at all but a little bit of diced cucumbers and diced tomato. No pita bread at all. When I ordered I got the sense they had a weird attitude towards me. Once I opened the bag/boxes I realized my order was wrong. I let them know, 2 of the girls where very weird about it while one tried to be helpful but they all told me the meat I ordered wasn’t available, which wasn’t said previously, and still didn’t answer why I didn’t receive the other items. After repeatedly telling them, they clearly did not want to fix my order, I said I just wanted an actual salad and pita bread I paid for. One of them that was helpful finally took the plate back to be fixed. The cook then pushed the plate back at me and stormed off like I completely inconvenienced her, all she did was add a little bit of the lettuce and onion, and gave me pita bread. They didn’t even have to remake anything. Overall the customer service was terrible, except one of them. The meat and rice was mid at best, I will say the rest was good, especially the Greek fries. I wasn’t rude at all just honest about the issue, I’m always very polite with service workers but this whole situation was very frustrating. Do not recommend, not worth 30$ before tip either, even if they’d been more accommodating. Definitely spend your money on better quality, if you’re spending 30$ on one plate and fries.

I literally never write reviews unless something is genuinely terrible. First, it took 30 minutes to get our food with no line. Second, THERES A PUBE IN THE WATER? Third, this is actually the most bland mediterranean food i’ve ever had. Save yourself the $20 for a bland, from frozen chicken shawarma plate. It looked seasoned but it’s catfish or something because there is ACTUALLY NO FLAVOR. Very bland rice, tough chicken, humus with no flavor. Go to Aladdin’s on the ave for the same price and more food because this place completely skimps the portion sizes. Our receipt was rang up under the name “Sam” and oh my god they were just talking to their coworkers and barely working. No wonder the wait was so long for absolutely no reason.

Authentic and Flavorful Middle Eastern Cuisine

We ordered the chicken kebab grill plate, the lamb/beef gyro plate, and the falafel plate—and every dish impressed us with its authenticity and flavor. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and grilled to perfection. A standout was the saffron rice: beautifully cooked with a bold yet balanced saffron aroma that didn’t overpower the dish.

The lamb/beef gyro was another highlight—succulent, well-seasoned meat paired perfectly with the creamy, tangy yogurt sauce. All of the accompanying sauces were thoughtfully prepared, each enhancing the dishes with bold, complementary flavors.

Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Middle Eastern fare done right.

The food quality was poor. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter — the rice was bland, and the chicken seemed frozen and fried on a stone. It was not authentic shawarma.

Everything about this place is fantastic—the restaurant itself, the dĂ©cor, the friendly staff, and the welcoming owner. The vibe is warm and inviting, and the food is on another level!

We ordered a couple of mixed grill plates, chicken shawarma, and baba ghanouj—everything was incredibly flavorful and fresh. We actually ended up here after a disappointing experience at Miss Cafe, and someone outside recommended this spot just down the street. So glad they did!

Seriously, wow. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try—you won’t regret it!
