Middle Eastern Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“I came to Hanoon with my husband and friend for my birthday. We ordered “hanoon's d'lilni experience” for the table and it did not disappoint! It was a lot of food, all delicious and fresh. It was nice to have such a variety. I’d be happy to eat here again. It would make a great date spot. I’d like to try their lunch menu in the future as well.“

“It was my first time here. We had the hummus, baba ghanoush, lamb shanks, Cornish hen, and beef stew.The Cornish hen and lamb shanks were the most delicious entrees. The rice that came with the entrees were cooked perfectly. Goes well with the entrees.“

“By far the freshest and best pita I've had in the U.S. thus far. Every small plate was also bursting with flavor. The smoked & shaved rutabaga w/ pistachio milk, apple & barberries dish had a flavor profile reminiscent of a savory key lime pie and was one of the favorites that we tried on the current menu. Highly recommend“

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

“This place is absolutely delicious. I have only tried a handful of their dishes including: their Greek salad, Mezze plate (the baba ghanoush is fantastic), and lentil soup (was flavorful and made me want more). All items came with delicious pillowy soft pita bread. I also ordered their Ouzi plate, it wasn't as flavorful as the rest of the items but regardless I'm giving 5 stars for the great customer service (Marco) and quality of food and flavor. I can't wait to come back and try more items.“

“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.“

“Great gyros sandwich and fries with yummy garlic sauce. Salad with gyros and hummus was also yummy.“

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

“Mr. Gyros catered our faculty/staff school luncheon today (140 ppl). The compliments were endless...everyone was so happy with the quality, taste and presentation of the food. It's always a good sign when people are coming back for 2nds! Thank you Sammy for making our event super special. You definitely made our faculty/staff very happy today!“

“Love this place. The people there are sweet and engaging.. The Palestinian food is so delicious and fresh. Im always trying something new but tend to get the chicken falafel quite often. Highly recommend! I hope they open up a bigger location elsewhere with indoor dining.Vegetarian options: Eggplant falafel is yum“

“I love this place! My go-to for falafel & middle eastern food. They actually have tahini sauce with the falafel, which I've really missed in Seattle - other places offer only tzatziki (which Fork also has. Nice guys, accommodate special requests, reasonably priced, quick service. Loud & hot in summer! Small place for eat-in (3 or 4 booths & maybe 4 tables for 2.“

“Amazing all around. I ordered the chicken (joojeh) kabob and the beef (koobideh) kabob with grilled tomato and it was amazing. So affordable too. Authentic and delicious. And the service was quick for being made to order. I can't wait until the next time i go to the market to get more. Highly recommend to anyone who like persian food or wants to try something new! 10/10“

“They have the best falafel ever! ❤️“

“Samir is the the best!!!! Always delicious, clean restaurant with the most phenomenal customer service!!“

“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.“

“Mamnoon: A Culinary Gem in Seattle My partner and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mamnoon during our trip to Seattle from Spokane, and it was an experience to remember. Nestled right off Melrose, Mamnoon immediately captivated us with its charming ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Michael, whose warm welcome set the tone for the evening. His thoughtful inquiry about any dietary considerations made us feel genuinely cared for and included. We were promptly seated near the vibrant bar area, surrounded by exquisite decor that added to the restaurant's allure. The professionalism of the staff was evident from the start. Their attentiveness and knowledge added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. Opting to start with a selection of tapas apps, we were delighted by the flavors and presentation, setting the stage for what was to come. We couldn't resist trying Mamnoon's signature dishes. The Mamnoon Shish Barak, a delightful twist on a classic, featured dumplings stuffed with succulent lamb shoulder, complemented by garlic yogurt, pine nut, shallot chili-crisp, and mint. Each bite was a burst of flavor, showcasing the chef's creativity and expertise. Another highlight was the Moushakal mezze, a delightful assortment of hummus, baba ganoush, muhammara, and labneh. The harmonious blend of textures and flavors left us craving more, reaffirming Mamnoon's reputation for culinary excellence. As we savored every bite, we couldn't help but plan our return visit. Mamnoon had exceeded our expectations in every way, offering not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Seattle, Mamnoon is a culinary gem that should not be missed. We eagerly look forward to our next visit, eager to explore more of what this exceptional restaurant has to offer.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“
