“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — you can really taste the quality in every bite. Everything was made just right, and the portions were generous. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

Even with takeout, everything was packaged neatly and still hot when I got home. The atmosphere from what I could see felt clean, inviting, and well put together.

Definitely one of the best spots for shawarma — I will be coming back again and again!“

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

“Tried Farvahar Persian Food at Pike Place Market 🇮🇷✨ and honestly it’s such a good spot if you want fresh, healthy, and comforting food 🥙🤍
We tried their Cutlet Sandwich and WOW… honestly one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life 🤤👏 The portion was also huge — me and my husband shared one together and it was more than enough 😅
I also highly recommend their drink called Dough 🥛🌿 So refreshing, full of calcium, and sooo yummy.
The owners are such a kind and beautiful couple 💕 Their customer service was honestly one of the best parts of the experience. You can really feel the warmth and care they put into the food and the place.
Don’t expect a fancy restaurant design since it’s inside Pike Place Market 🎣 but you can absolutely trust the quality and freshness of what you are eating 🌟
Just be careful with the timing ⏰ they open around 10 AM and close around 4 PM, so it’s a great option for lunch or an early dinner ☀️🍽️“

“I had a delicious beef gyro and some baklava. Both were on point very tasty. Service was friendly and the gyro was made on the spot fresh. Baklava was the bees knees. Can’t wait to come back again to try the lamb or some falafel! It was $24 after tax for both item which I think is fair for both. I’ll definitely bring a date here sometime.“

“Amazing food. Amazing service“

“Great food, great staff, one of my favorite places to grab a meal in Seattle.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious with great staff“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“
