50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Tukwila

“This place is DELICIOUS!!!! 🤤
I traveled all the way from the Washington fair grounds an hour away to try this food and it was SO WORTH IT!!!
I Tried the chicken/lamb rice special and the katata plate which is only comparable to drunken noodles but way more flavorful!!!
The sauces are worth trying each one! They're a little spicy at first but add so much depth to the flavors! The lentil soup was hot and fresh and exactly what I needed on a cold day! They have a nice sized dining area with a couple of large flat screens. The Gentleman there was very inviting and nice! I will definitely come back every time I'm in Tukwila! The fried fish is the next dish I'm getting i saw someone eating it and the plate is HUGE!!! Portions are huge quality is 10/10!!! I brought these two plates home to my kids who LOVED THEM!!! Thank you so very much for serving high quality food and treating me so well on my random visit! 💖“

“Wonderful food and service.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommended.“

“I'm mad my friend didn't show me this spot earlier!!! For starters, we had the mezze platter. It came with dolmas (so good!! Perfect marriage of rice and spices!), tzatziki (so fresh! The mint...yum!!), baba ganoush (with a smokey hint), hummus (so fresh!!), tabouli (best ive had in a long time! It was not overwhelming with parsley... super enjoyable. So good we got orders to go!), and the piyaz (a chilled white bean salad with ginger root, onion, tomato, EVOO, and garlic...so good we got orders to go!). Entrees we had the mesopotamian lamb and beef (the stew was so comforting..like a hug. The lamb was so tender!), and the lamb chops (love the rosemary and garlic!) For dessert...freshhhhh baklava, freshest ive had. It had just been made. It was so perfect! It's not so heavy compared to the normal baklava with honey that Im used too. Looks like I have a new favorite Mediterranean spot to go to!!! The staff was great. The food was amazing.“

Homer on Beacon Hill is one of those places that immediately wraps you in warmth from the moment you walk up. The glowing yellow sign outside sets the tone — soft, inviting, and a little bit magical. Inside, it feels like stepping into someone’s family kitchen where modern design meets soulful comfort.

The ambiance is intimate but lively — thoughtfully designed with an open kitchen, glowing ovens, and seating that keeps you close to the action. It feels both upscale and deeply human. I believe there are two wood-fired ovens, which add to the cozy scent and visual energy. The bar seating is beautifully done, though it’s near the door where guests come in and out, so bring a light jacket if you plan to sit there. The space still feels incredibly warm and welcoming.

The staff move like a rhythm — attentive, intelligent, and graceful in motion. You can tell this place is designed with care: there’s even a wheelchair-accessible restroom, and the flow between spaces feels intentional. The walk-up window for self-serve soft-serve ice cream outside is such a clever touch.

We ordered a trio of spreads — classic hummus with chickpeas and cumin, smoky red pepper with mint and pomegranate, and creamy yogurt with roasted tomatoes and herbs. Every bite was balanced, fresh, and beautifully plated. The pita bread came straight from the fire oven, warm and pillowy, with that slight char that tells you it was made with love.

The cocktails were another highlight: a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned and a frothy Whiskey Sour that was so well-made it could easily compete with any high-end cocktail bar in the city. The flavors were elegant and layered, just like the atmosphere itself.

The music was nostalgic — the kind that makes you sway a little in your seat without even realizing it. The crowd felt connected, like everyone was collectively part of something special. It’s clear this restaurant was designed for experience, not just eating.

Homer captures what dining should feel like — intentional, soulful, and sensory. Everything from the lighting to the flavors to the flow of energy was in harmony. It’s rare to find a space that satisfies the body, mind, and spirit, but this one truly does.

✅ Highlights:
• Open kitchen with wood-fired ovens
• Exceptional cocktails (Old Fashioned + Whiskey Sour)
• Stunning hummus trio and hot pita
• Modern design with cozy, family-style warmth
• Wheelchair-accessible restroom
• Outdoor seating and a walk-up soft-serve window
• Great for date nights, solo dining, or small groups

💫 Tip: Sit at the bar if you love watching the chefs work their magic, but bring a light sweater for cooler nights.

This is one of those places that reminds you food is more than flavor — it’s connection, creativity, and care. Homer made me smile, sway, and feel deeply at home.

“My husband and I loooooove going here for lunch dates! Generous portions, delicious flavors, and great service.

You cannot go wrong! The place can fill up during peak mealtime hours if you’re hoping to dine in at a table with chairs but they do have window stools too.

I always get the gyro plate and it hits every single time. The owner-chefs also sometimes gift us freebie food every now and then which is above and beyond.“

“I've been visiting here for about 8 years and have never been disappointed. The food is always so fresh and taste absolutely delicious.the service from Layla alone is outstanding. She is always personable, kind and inviting. I always get there a few minutes before the rush so we can chat. The food comes out quick, hot and perfect every single time! My go to is the gyro plate. If I'm extra hungry I'll add some baklava which taste like it was transported directly from an oven in Greece!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“I love the food, and the owner was very kind hearted.

I bought chicken sandwich, chicken platter, lentil soup and gyro plater, all are very delicious. The owner was very generous and kind hearted. I did not have enough money to pay because I forgot my wallet at home and he let me pay the next day😍.
Thank you sooo much Mohammad, may God reward you and your family greatly.
I am very happy costumer.“

“Friendly staff and the most AMAZING garlic sauce. Highly recommend the Greek French fries 🍟“

“This place was amazing. Great food and great customer service. The guy that helped me was very helpful and had a great attitude while helping me out. On top of this the wait for the food wasn’t long at all. I will definitely go back. Highly recommend.“

“Awesome place. Excellent shawarmas, staff is super cool and always nice. Fast service. Great parking. Spot is clean and they always got something good on the TV, like ufc or soccer or nature channel or whatever. Good prices for alot of food that will fill you up. They know how to make a incredible spicy shwarma. If your sensitive to spice, be careful cuz you might pay for it in the morning but it's worth it. Damn good place. 10/10 best spot“

“If you're in the mood for some amazing Mediterranean food, you have to try the chicken gyro with french fries topped with feta cheese! The shish chicken kebab plate and the lamb shish kebab plate are both absolutely delicious too. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“Love the food and the family!❤️“

“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 .“

“I don't normally like baklava but this one was Moist and had lots of flavor.
The eggplant was wow. That's a hard veggie to cook in my opinion. The mixed entree was very yummy. The lamb was super soft. I would go back when on town“

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

“Love this place. Don’t bother with the menu, just order the shish tawook:)“

“ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن اكل طيب مطعم نظيف والعاملين روعه بالتعامل والمساعدة شكرآ لكم“

“This is our go to place for Greek food. We eat here a few times a year and are always satisfied with our meal and service. Order at the counter and then find a seat. Plenty of seating, portions are great (usually have leftovers). Does a lot of take out business.“

“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 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!!! ✨“

“This place is so cool. I felt like I was stepping into a 1920's jazz club. There was live jazz, dark and swanky, bartenders shaking up drinks and remarkable service. Not to mention the food was delicious. Try the deviled eggs, thank me later.😊“

“Best place to eat by yourself or with family“

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

“The best halal Mediterranean food in town. We just loved fresh salads & starters. BBQ grill was finger licking good and freshly made. Ambiance was too welcoming. All kinds of fresh and yummy Arabic authentic sweets reminded us of Dubai❤️ the serving size is large and price is very reasonable. I strongly recommend the place“

“Amazing spot, i come here pretty much every time i visit seattle. The food always hits, especially their baba ghanouj is excellent, the falafel is probably the best ive ever had in my LIFE! The chicken shwarma had me crying from joy. The grape leaves rolls werent my fav ive ever had but still great! Absolutely banging food and theyre open late which is so nice. Love this place. Didnt take any photos of my food last night because i was starving and ate it all but trust it was beautiful and delicious.“

“Great service. Good good.“

“Food was great we loved it. Tables are small so a party of 5 is hard to accommodate. Seating out doors is limited and there is limited staff so they don’t make the rounds very often. Over all we loved it and will definitely eat there again.“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“wonderful atmosphere, service and food! ❤️“

“Delicious food made with high quality ingredients.“

“Finally decided to give it a try! My friend, Ahmed, so proud of your business and the crew you have at the south park location they are so friendly.. they are great! Food is so fresh and the greek fries to die for.. the garlic sauce is amazing! Will for sure come back.“

“Solid food all around. I’ve never been a lover or a hater of shawarma and gyro but it’s…enjoyable.

The humus is average plus. The bread, good. The fries, 3.5 star (so generously a 4 star). Service? Good. It’s exactly what I expected—4 star enjoyable. Price? It’s Seattle, nothing is ever inexpensive (gonna spend easily $20 a person).“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“Amazing food! Top Quality! Well worth the Price!“

“Great food and service! Clean and friendly 🙃“

“What a magnificent find this was! Impeccable service, Andaluca offers a romantic and elegant ambiance to complement the perfect culinary experience. We started with the soft-ripened Murciana goat cheese and house made preserves, the star of the night was their roasted beets and citrus salad, the Andaluca paella simply delicious and the flavors of the preserved lemon chicken transported us to the Mediterranean! I have to add that the cocktails were also an experience! We all agreed this was by far one of the best meals we’ve had. Highly recommended!“

“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 😀“

“Ok it's not about the service, my friend speaks fluent Somali and he took me here to try the food and introduce me to some of the regulars who come here for food and community. it's not a 5 star date spot but if you can get past the looks, the food will not disappoint. It's not advertised by big signs and lights for a reason, it's a community spot spread by word of mouth not run by American capitalism. Try it out and thank me later:)“

“Ordered the Chicken Kabob and garlic fries. The chicken is sooo melt in your mouth good! And the garlic paste was creamy and not too rich. Fries were seasoned perfectly and the sauce that goes on them was very good. Overall, this place has the best Mediterranean Food in all of King County. I have visited their Redmond and Issaquah locations as well. The consistency between restaurants is much appreciated.“

“Playlist was tops. Food is absolutely delectable. Made to order and served up in very generous portions. The vast array of complimenting flavors, textures and aromas made my palette very happy. Service is genuine and friendly. The ambiance was special. I highly recommend this bistro!“

“Delicious food!! excellent servicie, acceptabe price. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deliciosa comida!!! excelente servicio, precios aceptables ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I had an amazing breakfast experience! The Mushroom and Swiss omelet was delicious, and the price was totally worth it - $13 for a filling meal with hashbrowns and toast. But what really stood out was the top-notch service. It's refreshing to see such excellent customer care, it's a rare gem these days!“

“Loved the food. Got the shawarma wrap combo, very delicious and filled with garlic sauce. The only notes are how the restaurant itself needs a bit of love and some fries were burnt. Went to the bathroom, which was very dirty, had no soap, and empty toilet paper rolls around. The restaurant floors were very dirty, and I found a piece of onion sitting on the closed off table.“
