Middle Eastern Restaurants in Seattle, WA

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

“Super friendly folks. Clean inviting restaurant. My gyros salad was delicious. Greens dress and crunchy, dressing tangy. Meat savory and delicious. Loved the pita, wish it came with the salad though! Also suggest you guys offer baba ghanoush or another creamy topping to go with it! This was my first time but will be back.“

“I love the support the owners give to great causes- they do regular fundraisers. You can order online or in person. Everything is carry out- no restaurant seating. The vegan items aren’t labeled but the owner was very helpful there! The lentil soup was absolutely amazing! The za’atar saj wasn’t my favorite but it was still quite good.“

“Good people make good food. Omar has an infectious personality that makes you feel welcomed like family. I walked in for a huge catering order and Omar took good care of me while I waited. Food is delicious and the service is excellent. Me and my family will definitely return. Thank you Omar!!“

“Love this place!! So delicious, quality dishes that aren't too pricy and love the staff!“

“one of my go-to spots in the greenlake/roosevelt area!! the falafel and pita are always fresh and warm, sauces and pickle are delicious and takes it to the next level, and the pistachio baklava is to die for. food comes out super fast and there's always plenty of spots to sit“

“Amazing food. Amazing service“

“Delicious. Tried the lentil soup and kookoo sabzi; both felt like reasonable value for the market.

I went here off peak, so was able to easily order and get seating. The food took a few minutes to be ready, but it was definitely worth it!

I will come back.“

“Today, I had my long time favorite, the purple falafel wrap, at the Ballard farmers market after almost two years and it was just as yummy as I remember it… they make the best falafels in the greater seattle area… crispy outside, moist and cooked inside… and that lovely purple slaw 😋. I’m glad they’ve moved to this new location! One more reason to visit Ballard now 😀“

“I had a great experience at Shawarma Land. The food was very delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was respectful, friendly, and fast. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, and the staff treated customers with kindness and professionalism.
I really enjoyed my meal here and I definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for the wonderful service!“

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

“The 3% operations fee they add to the check at the end left things on a bad note. This operations fee felt pretty bad. If you need to, raise prices by 3%.

The service and the food were outstanding. Really great dishes and flavors.“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious with great staff“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff at Minna Mediterranean are so friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared — the lamb in particular was outstanding! The restaurant was very clean and well-kept, and everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine and great service!“

“Ordered takeaway (using ezCater) from Mint & Olive on NYE as we were a large group, and it was spot on. All of the food was delicious (the hummus especially!), the portion sizes suited our group of 9, and it couldn't have been easier to order and pick up. Would revisit!“

“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 .“

“Had to check out the falafel and here's my review... I'd like to state up front that as someone who lived in Israel for years and has always been very critical of "hippie" falafel and most Americans attempts which always seem to include lettuce, which has absolutely no place in a falafel, this was as close to an authentic falafel that I have seen in the western states. That being said, I found no reason to go back. Been there, done that. (Although it is a Hummus Bar and I didn't bother to try that because I make extraordinarily good hummus at home.) I've been avoiding bread on my new diet but was intrigued that there was a new source in town for fresh pita, which can make or break a falafel sandwich. I tried to secure an end to taste, (the top section that is cut off to stuff the pita,) the ends are traditionally tossed but my attempt was rebuffed by the staff who claimed they used them so I went ahead and ordered the "stuffed falafel" sandwich. What I got when I ordered the Stuffed Falafel was better than any pita I've ever had in Seattle, but it wasn't up to snuff with a traditional pita. It was too bready and airy for me, but it held together very well, when it was completely full of all the ingredients and sauce. Everything inside was very yummy, a great tahini sauce and tasty falafel balls, though I thought the falafel was a bit under-cooked and soft. The mix of cucumbers, tomatoes & Israeli-style pickles was great but there was none of the expected red or purple cabbage. The waitress claimed that there was cabbage in there but it was white, but I couldn't taste it at, a definite let down. At my favorite falafel shops in Jerusalem and NYC you load your own veges and choose your own sauces and I always go heavy on cabbage & pickles. No problems though, I wolfed it right down... :) I also tried a side order of חצילים and it was good, but nothing to write home about. In conclusion it was the best falafel I ever had in Seattle, but I'm still looking for that completely authentic falafel shop to come around.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Went there for lunch on a Sunday afternoon.

Very quick service and tasty food. Portions were very generous too. This will likely become our regular place whenever we go to East Green Lake Park over the weekends

Good parking too“

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

“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!!! ✨“

“The food is ok. Nothing extra ordinary, but its really difficult for me to understand why they add 18% tips by default. Even for group of 4 or just one person for that matter. Price of food really on higher side with minimum quantity. Another thing is you cant split a bill. So on one table they only accept one credit card. This place is not for celebrating with friends for that reason.“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“Ma chaine de restaurant préféré au États Unis. Toujours délicieux.“
