Middle Eastern Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“This was the most flavorful salad I've ever had--so good! Highly recommend!“

“Really good food coming out of a little hole in the wall.

I have the chicken Saj. Kinda boring you may say, but it was my first time there and I wanted to stick to something I was familiar with to give it a base line. And wow. Just wow. So tasty. Portion was perfect. Flavors perfect. Quality top notch.

Will 100% be back.“

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

“Discovered these guys on Yelp, and they really deserve their 5-star reviews! We ordered two of their signature sandwiches: Arabic Chicken Shawarma BUZZ and the lamb & beef version. Both were made fresh, delightfully spiced and marinaded, in a large toasted pita wrap, fantastic taste and so satisfying, highly recommended! The guys are very friendly and helpful. It’s a simple place in a strip with nice decor touches and reasonable prices. Tip: if you like onions, ask for them (they’ve stopped adding them because so many people asked for no onions); they put a nice Arabic spice on them, very tasty. Also they have a nice house spicy sauce that kicks the flavor profile up a few notches, excellent! A great meal all around. You could even save half of the wrap for later for another meal, it’s that big and good.“

“Went in for the first time today for Shawarma and was not disappointed! You could tell the man behind the counter was really passionate about the food he was making, and he gave us good recommendations! The food was amazing: Great depth of flavor, large portions, and served cleanly! I'm absolutely going back, and bringing anyone I can convince to go!“

“Amazing food. Amazing service“

“The lemonade tasted fresh and seemed like it was made with real lemons. It was strong, tart, and really good.

I also ordered beef kubideh and it tasted very authentic. The meat, rice, and salad all went really well together.“

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

“This was my first time eating at a local restaurant since moving to the CD from Bellevue (good riddance), and I was welcomed with warmth in a super inviting environment — big open windows and adorable outdoor seating. My food did not take very long at all to receive even though (as far as I could tell) there was only one person working. Right before he handed me my food, he said something so unexpectedly kind: that it’s nice to see me here! He handed me a beautifully seasoned (free) falafel on a fork.

It put the biggest smile on my face. I took my food home, I’m eating it right now, and I’m still smiling. The Greek fries are so delightful — they’re really crispy and so fresh compared to other ones I’ve tried. What a great experience! I love this neighborhood so much. ❤“

“Had food for ten recently delivered for my birthday through ezCater. Everything was fantastic. Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve eaten. We had ordered buffet style food, but now I want to visit their location to try other dishes.

The rice was very unique (in a good way). The beef and chicken meat were perfect. I’m not normally a big fan of hummus (I’ve always preferred Baba Ganoush), but theirs was really tasty!

Definitely recommend!“

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

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

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

“Hate to say it… eh. Always a wait of course but the tables are so close you’re basically in your neighbors convo and the service is pretty rushed. Plates are tiny (one tiny pita for 2 people ??) and I’ve had similar creative dishes for less unfortunately. They’re making good food but I think the other variables make it a miss for me, wouldn’t go out of my way to return“

“Delicious with great staff“

“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👏🏼“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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! ❤️“

“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!!! ✨“

“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“
