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“

“Shawarma Land was perfect! A good place to go for a quick bite of lunch and or snack. It was perfect for me because I'm muslim and I like to know that my food is halaal. I don't ha e to worry about cross contamination or it the utensils are clean from other foods that are not clean foods according to my way of life. Awesome!!!“

“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...“

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

“What can I say other than the fact that the food here totally slaps! Everything is juicy and flavorful. The grilled veggies have a sweet char to them. Both rice options are tasty. The portions are generous and most things come with a side salad that’s dressed with feta and a very savory dressing. Plus, the employees are very sweet and kind. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

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

“We recently had a reception of 25 people, catered by Homer and could not be more pleased with the results. With a diverse party of vegetarians to big carnivores and locals, out of state and out of country guests, everyone was impressed with the food. Guests going for seconds, thirds and I swear a few even went for more, so I know they weren't just being polite. There was ample enough portions to accommodate everyone's appetite for this glorious food. From working with Caroline on the menu and logistics to the final product being received it was a true delight. We truly cannot say enough. This meal will be remembered as a wonderful part of a memorable night. Thanks so much Homer!“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“this place has the best fries ive ever had in my entire life whether that be home made or from a fancy restaurant, minna does it better. incredible food, incredible service, and CELIACS listen up!! I am celiac and have never once had an issue here with cross contamination, even when i dont say explicitly that i have an allergy. i always get the greek fries or gyro fries, + the complimentary falafel is always a delight. thank you minna for existing!!!“

“delicious, quick & friendly service! Arabic falafel wrap was great, want to come back and try the chicken shawarma as well! fries were crisp & hot, the lamb and beef gyro plate was great- loved the hummus and the saffron rice was so flavorful !
would come back soon! good price for the portion size as well!“

“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.“

“Amazing customer service, the staff was so welcoming and helpful, especially since I told them I'd never tried Mediterranean food before. They made great recommendations and checked in to make sure I was happy with everything. The food itself was delicious, with good portions that left me full but not overly stuffed. Honestly, for a first time Mediterranean experience, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“I really like their gyros sandwich. Ingredients are always fresh. The sandwiches are so flavorful and juicy. Their fries are always freshly cooked when ordered and they are delicious. Definitely try their pickles! This is one of my goto place for lunch if I am near by.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food...good value :)“

“Great atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and amazing food!“

“This place is always so welcoming and friendly — it’s easily my favorite shawarma spot. I’ve been coming back for years and always order the same thing: the Arabic Chicken Shawarma. Somehow, it gets even more delicious every single time. Thank you guys, and keep up the amazing work!“

“So underrated!!!! The service tonight was incredible. Our server made the best recommendations, and every dish was flavorful and deeply savory. We absolutely stuffed ourselves and had to take baklava to go because there was no room left—but we can’t wait to try it at home. Highly recommend. And bonus points for Kenny G playing in the background!“

“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.“

“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 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 .“

“Love the food and the family!❤️“

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

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

“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.“

“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👏🏼“

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

“Délectable. North africanan delishessness.“

“Great food specially the chicken plate and Kababs.“

“Excellent! Food is sooo good. Small family owned business! Egyptian hospitality makes you feel like you're part of the family. Hummas is out of this world! Rice pudding and bread pudding are the best I've ever had! Shawarma is so yummy too! Portions are huge. Every time I'm in North Seattle I try and go here! Worth every penny!!!

Oh and the mint drink. Out of this world.“

“I’ve brought so many friends here and recommended it to countless people because it’s just that good—hands down the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area!

I get the beef gyro plate each time I come, and it hits every single time. Everything pairs perfectly together—it’s a flavor explosion 🤭

It’s mainly a takeout spot, but there is a small covered area where you can eat, along with a couple of benches outside. It might be a little cold right now, but it’s a decent setup once the weather warms up. I already look forward to the next time I’ll be back for it again!! 10/10 recommend!“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shawarma King — Absolutely Unreal!
If you haven’t been to Shawarma King yet, you are seriously missing out. This place doesn’t just serve food; it serves an experience.
From the moment you walk in, the aroma alone is enough to make your knees weak. The shawarma is packed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and sauces that hit every single note. Each bite is juicy, flavorful, and just downright magnificent. Honestly, it ruins every other shawarma for you as nothing else comes close.
A massive shoutout to Saied: this man is an absolute legend in the kitchen. The love and care he puts into every single wrap is something you can taste. Yunus, your food is extraordinary, and you should be incredibly proud of what you’ve built here.
The best part? You don’t just leave Shawarma King with a full stomach and an incredible shawarma in hand; you leave with a big smile on your face. Every single time.
Shawarma King isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a vibe. It’s a community. It’s the best decision you’ll make today. 10/10, would recommend to literally everyone I know. 👑🥙“

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

“Food and service was excellent!“

“great food quaint envroment and quality service for almost 20 years“

“If you haven’t experienced Taki and Vickie’s hospitality you’re missing out. The food is excellent hands down but you go and meet Taki and Vickie and you’ll be coming back again and again. See you soon!“

“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!“

“This place is great. The owner/manager treated me like a guest in his kind home. The juices are delicious (green power is lovely with zingy citrus, parsley and celery) The gyro is fresh and tasty and the perfect size for a hungry Sunday morning. The people are the best and make this place a neighborhood treasure. Park a block away (parking right in front of the restaurant is rather tight; don’t let that discourage you.). I gave atmosphere 4 stars only because the cleaner uses a heavy concentration of pine sol; so early in the day it smells a bit heavy of cleaner (consider a lemon based; less scented cleaner?) But the place is sparkling immaculate, good middle eastern music, sweet shaded patio; lots of smiles and heartfelt welcomes (not fake). The prices are absolutely fair and excellent hours. There is a good reason that this is where the locals eat and why I drive from Fremont to join them.“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“
