My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch date here. The service was friendly and very fast. The lentil soup was excellent, with a great balance of flavors. The lamb shawarma was excellent. Fresh ingredients with wonderful flavor and spice. The portion size was large so easy to make into two meals. My husband and I were thoroughly satisfied, and we will be back again.
This place is amazing. Something I really appreciated about this restaurant is its value . Furthermore the staff of the restaurant are friendly and seem passionate about what they do. Will always come

It was my first time here & I got the chicken shawarma plate. It also came with a cup of soup & pita for no extra charge, nice! The food was delish, super generous portions, & staff was very friendly! Five stars for them I’ll definitely be back :)

Ordered takeout shawarma. Huge portion. 25$ bill.The rice that it comes with: <= average.The shawarma: veggies and chicken, really good!The pita bread: something from trader joe’s or similar quality.Honestly if I’m paying 25$ the food was not worth it. I think something like garlic kitchen or a typical Mediterranean spot would be better.

Two big things that stood out to me, the service and the portion size. If you go here with a friend or your partner, order one entree, it's huge, maybe even enough to feed 3 people. The service was one of the best hands down. They consistently checked to make sure we had enough water, made sure we knew what we were ordering, got us refilled on pita, etc. The food itself was OK. It wasn't we got two different schwarma, and we felt like it was extremely heavy on the veggies, I wish there was a little more meat. Overall I give the place 75 garlic sauce out of 100.

My most favorite of restaurants! Their portions are huge. Many of their dishes could easily be split into two ample meals. Or, be prepared for yummy leftovers.Vegetarian options: Fantastic flavors. I'm a meat eater that lives with vegans that have particularly complex diets and I wouldn't hesitate to suugget MKDietary restrictions: They will do their utmost to meet special needs.Parking: The free lot was full, as it often is. I dropped off my party and spent 16 minutes looking for and paying for parking. There were two open spots near the restaurant when I got back... ArghKid-friendliness: They know how to handle kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they routinely accommodate people's needs.
The quality of food, the staff friendliness, and even the flavors, are the same as they were 15 years ago at this place. And the quantity of food for the quality is unmatched for anywhere in Seattle area. If you love garlic, and rich roasted deeply marinated flavors, then go here. If you like boiled bland food this is not the place for you. The middle east red wine (Lebanese I believe) there is as good as a really good red from Washington. Chicken shawarma you should split with two people. I will be more than enough food ! Especially with the lentil soup and fresh bread on the house with it.Vegetarian options: The way they grill their vegetables is unbelievably tasty. And so is their bread (freshly made not from a box which is so rare), and so is their lentil soup and every other item on the menu.Parking: If the small parking next to the restaurant is full, you can park next to Garlic Crush across Bellevue way, then walk across.
I was here for work and placed a to-go pickup order. They were personable and helpful on the phone order. The staff was very friendly and nice when I arrived. Food portion was HUGE and super tasty. Will be back on my next Bellevue work trip. Chicken Shwarma was my order.
