50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Seattle

“Scrumptious food! Fresh ingredients, well prepared without too much oil. They were super busy when I arrived, and my food was still prepared quickly. Everything is Halal, so you know that the animals were treated humanely. There are also vegan options. Everything was divine, I was happily surprised to find a new twist on some of my favorites. Also, the place is really clean.“

“Amazing food. Amazing service“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service.“

“The owner is incredibly personable and is very involved with his restaurant. His staff is very attentive and have excellent customer service skills. I chose a faster made food, the Chicken Kabob (recommended by the owner) and there was nothing that made it feel rushed or made cheap even though the price was amazing for the amount of food that came about 10 mins after ordering. BEST DARN KABOB I'VE EVER HAD IN SEATTLE. I'm sad I didn't try this place out when I lived in the neighborhood 10 yrs ago. I'd be a lot fatter by now...“

“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“

“We didnt get to eat here but the food looked good. I did purchase a bottle of the mango lassi and it was very good. We dropped our bags here so we could explore a little bit. The service was excellent and the lovely woman helping us was so friendly!!!“

“It was yummy, good flashback to my time in the gulf.“

“Used to work nearby and wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered. Not gonna lie, I think it’s gotten even better! Felt like traveling back in time getting a chicken shawarma, and the garlic sauce took it a step beyond. It was late and there was barely any place to sit, so that hasn’t changed, but overall still a top tier place to get a quick bite in the U-district anytime of day!“

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

“I've tried every falafel place on Cap Hill (there are a LOT), and none are as good OR as cheap as Falafelville. Plus, their service is incredibly friendly. 10/10! Will no longer bother with anywhere else. Also, surprisingly great fries!“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“Came here on a hot 82 degree day and they had a shaded lounge with air conditioning, running water to wash hands, and reasonably priced food. I didn’t even think I was that hungry but once I had a bite I could not stop it was that good! I am 100% coming back here, what a pleasant experience. You can really tell the owner loves what he does and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, even uses saffron for the rice! This is one gem of a food truck in Seattle.“

“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 .“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“09.06 The food here is divine! We split a lamb sandwich and a plate of cauliflower with tahini sauce. Just wow! The chef packed so much unexpected flavor into these dishes. We will be back. 09.09 We came back for more! So good.“

“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.“

“Brought my family of ten in, and every dish we ordered was excellent. Even better, though, was the timing, professionalism, and warmth of our server. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had from a service standpoint—especially impressive given the size of our group.“

“We get the chicken kebab plate and the lamb kebab plate- the rice is always cooked perfectly, the meat quality is great, salad is always fresh. And the garlic dip, and hummus too! We’ve ordered here so many times and truly enjoy it every time.“

“Took the parents for their first meal in Seattle and they wanted Mediterranean. Found this place not far from the Fauntleroy ferry dock. We ate outside, the servers were very nice and the food was delicious. Definitely will be going again. Not a pet friendly place for those with doggos.“

“Surprising unexpected delight by the side of a busy road with not a lot of foot traffic between Swedish Hospital and Virginia Mason! I think more could be done with the decor, and it was understaffed, but the food was AMAZING! I can see why it is so highly rated - the meat is perfectly bribed or seasoned or whatever magic they do to make it tender and infused with flavor throughout. We had the Gyro plate and the Beef Shwarma plate along with the Baba Ganoush - each was excellent in their own way, and the garlic dressing in the accompanying salads is to kill for. Will come again!“

“I wish I could complain about having to wait an hour but it was absolutely worth it. Not their fault they’re so popular~
The trio of spreads was delightful, varied in both base and toppings (pistachio ranked #1). Grilled spring onions with savory mushroom foam was great. Lamb two ways with fruit sauce was well seasoned and balanced in sweetness. The sliced lamb was a tad chewy but it felt more the fault of the cut than the cook.
Seasonal ice cream swirl was fantastically balanced with fruity, floral, and sooo many poppy seeds!!“

“Great food...good value :)“

“Great atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and amazing food!“

“They have an amazing Mediterranean foods, Alladin's Gyro Sandwich is one of my favorite, it really taste good. The staff was always friendly and observant, great customer service! Would recommend to everyone!“

“Amazing food and great service! Gyro Time Seattle never disappoints. The gyros are packed with flavor, always fresh, and filling. The staff is super friendly and the place is always clean. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Seattle for a quick and delicious meal.“

“Zig Zag Cafe is a Seattle institution. Live jazz, an incredible location that's both hidden but right on the waterfront, great food/drink, and a fun vibe? Hard to go wrong. I appreciated the variety of food and drink available and pretty much everything we received was good to delicious. Would come back for sure!“

“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.“

“The best falafel sandwich in town. Owner John is the best. Definitely try the Greek fries too.“

“Love the food and the family!❤️“

“This Mediterranean restaurant is amazing! I love their paella. I was surprised that they accept credit cards! I love the service and the delicious“

“Délectable. North africanan delishessness.“

“Great Mediterranean food in a pleasant, neighborhood atmosphere 😊“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“Fantastic spot to grab breakfast with friends or family. We sat outside on the beautiful patio and had some of the best food and coffee I have had in a while. I highly suggest the French toast or Zaatar Halloumi toast. If you’re in the mood for something more savory the shakshuka will be your go to!“

“The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the special Lamb Meal & Lamb Sandwich 😍 The team were super nice and friendly 👌🏼Thanks for the good experience we enjoyed the place and the food👏🏼“

“Believe the hype! This place is fantastic! We came based on the reviews and were not disappointed. Gyro was very flavorful and the pita bread was toasted to perfection! Quality and freshness of the ingredients was exceptional, particularly noticeable in the falafel salad which had a simple but addictive vinaigrette and some of the best falafels we have ever had with crispy outside and super flavorful inside. Simple fries were super crispy, hot and fresh. So happy we came!“

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

“It is a great place with very friendly &kind people who offer extremely delicious food. I really recommend it for everyone“

“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!“

“The best shawarma in the Seattle area Has been to many restaurants but shawarma man was the best will come again for sure“

“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!“

“Great food specially the chicken plate and Kababs.“

“Hummus Cafe is one of those places that just makes you happy.

The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. The Om Ali is perfect, the Mehalabya (rice pudding) is amazing, and the falafel and eggplant sandwich is honestly to die for.

What really stands out, though, is that the food feels like it was made with love. You can taste the love in every bite, and that's something you don't find very often. It's the kind of meal that puts a smile on your face and makes you want to come back.

If you're looking for real Egyptian and Mediterranean food, I can't recommend this place enough.“

“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.“

“Wonderful repeat visit to the real deal = huge menu, ample portions, great flavor, wonderful service, with accessible on street parking. They could use some authentic Greek artwork on the walls or even Hellenic music.“

“Delicious with great staff“

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

“I was only in Seattle for a month and randomly stopped into Sinbad Express with my daughter and son—next thing you know, we were hooked. It went from a one-time stop to a bi-weekly ritual for shawarma and gyros real quick.
The food is always on point, packed with flavor, and hits every time. Super chill spot, family-friendly, and just all-around solid. If you’re in Seattle, this place is a must. No regrets.“
