“This place is worth traveling from Seattle. The food is absolutly amazing. The service is friendly. The ambience is like somebody teleported you to some small city in Israel. I had a schitzel in a plate, served with spicy harissa, hummus and a pitta bread. It was delicious and very well presented. I noticed some comments about the pricing. The restaurant serves glat kosher meat and home made food. That is expensive (e.g. a package of frozen kosher burgers in grocery store is 2x higher than a non-kosher alternative.)“
“Hubby and I decided to go out on a impromptu date. Had seen some glowing reviews of the Turkish restaurant and gave it a try. Was delighted with the decor and fast service. The portion we ordered was enough for two though we had to order extra rice. Spacious with two seats facing each other giving privacy to the diners. Would go back again!“
“At this Romanian cuisine restaurant, the culinary experience is exceptional. Each dish bursts with authentic flavors that transport you to the heart of Romania. Moreover, the staff here are not just attentive but genuinely wonderful, adding warmth and a personal touch to your dining experience. A definite must-visit for anyone seeking delicious food served by an incredibly friendly team“

“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.“
“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“
“I love this food truck! The food is super delicious! Always fresh and TAAAASSTTYYY! The people who work here are so kind, attentive and amazing chefs. They always remember my name. I work a block away so it's my favorite after work spot. If you walk by, u gotta stop by!!!!“
“got the Gyro Saj Shawarma & Greek Friesthis contained two main things - the sandwich and the greek friesfirst, i thought the sandwich was pretty goodwhile not using pita bread, which is typical for a gyro and usually what i prefer,this place used more of a tortilla for the breading insteadi did think this bread was toasted very well and the overall outside of the wrap was goodas far as the inside, i very much liked the way the ingredients were packed into the wrapwhile it may not look super big, each half of the sandwich was packed really tightly with a lot ofdifferent ingredients - which made it really fillingthis also let the flavors really combine since they were mixed up in close proximity inside the sandwichthe sandwich also scores high in portion size - it really had a lot of meat and overall ingredientsthe meat inside the sandwich was good - not greatwhere this disappointed me a bit was in the greek fries - there wasn't enough white saucethe cheese was decent - but the lack of sauce made the fries not really stick to the cheese that mucha lot of fries were just dryso these were still decent, but i've certainly had a lot betteri did like the crisp on theseSandwich: 8.5/10Greek Fries: 7/10Overall: 8.15/10“
“Our family is so sad that Omega Ouzeri is shuttering its doors after all these years of providing amazing Greek cuisine on Capitol Hill. From El Greco to Vios to Omega Ouzeri, Tomas and his talented staff have always delivered on quality and have made an indelible mark on my family's culinary experiences. We were so lucky to have one last family meal here and like always, it never disappoints! Good luck, Tomas & Rebecca, on your new Greek adventures!“
“My husband and I loved this place.The food was very good, fresh ingredients and just right. Salmon was amazing!If you are interested in trying something different this is one place you must go to. I also loved the environment and music...workers were very polite and sweet.“
“We stumbled upon this magical little gem when looking for a quick dinner with good food, some ambience and outdoor dining option. There are only a few things on the menu, all Turkish fare. We tried the Pide and dumplings and they were incredible. Our 10 month old also loved it. The young woman running the restaurant was delightful and really made the experience all the more wonderful. We will definitely be back.“
“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.“
“Honestly this place is amazing. Hidden gem for sure. When you walk inside it looks anticlimactic a subpar food establishment. I was lured in from the reviews and they did not disappoint. 10/10 hands down. We loved every one of the 5 entrees we ate and the prices and portions were impressive (dessert too) One massive suggestion we agreed upon need large photos of each dish because in this particular demographic most folk don’t know exactly what the names of dishes and ingredients are when we read from the menu.“
“This place is amazing! I come from a Mediterranean family and this tastes like my mom's cooking. Best falafel I've had in a very long time! Crispy outside. Moist inside. Not that dry crumbly stuff you get most places. The shawarma chicken wrap is amazing too. It's grilled so the outside is just a little crisp. Not traditional, but very good nonetheless.“
“Food was amazing! Service amazing. First time and I had the best Mediterranean chicken salad I have ever had in seattle. It was made in a way that impressed my so much it is going to be my go-to in Seattle. Its a nice location inside a food court but the neighborhood needs improvement. Won't stop me from visiting again.“
“The atmosphere is inviting and the staff very welcoming and friendly. I did not have to wait long for my order and it was the best lamb I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned in the rice platter. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also a great portion and another thing I liked is that the chef asked if I would like freshly squeezed lemonade instead of the limonata I ordered. Nice touch. The dessert was off the menu but deserves a mention. Excellent chocolate cake! Will definitely come back when visiting Seattle.“
“"Do ya like smooth jazz?"The jazzzz the staffff the cocktailsss... All, excellent. The Zig Zag burger was also very good. I wasn't a fan of the coconut risotto, but everything else was great. Our server, Kaira, was so cool I can't even lie. Good experience!“
“I love trying any place that has a gyro but this restaurant is a true gem. The smells are intoxicating as soon as you enter. It is clean and comfortable with quick friendly service. But then the food... My fiancee and I got two lamb gyros with tabbouleh salad and baklava and cake for dessert. The first bite is heaven and the rest only increases in flavor. The meat in the gyros is flavorful, the vegetables are fresh, the sauce is perfectly balanced. My tabbouleh is fresh and lights my mouth up with a lovely zestiness. We haven't gotten into the desserts yet but I had to stop and write about this food while the euphoria is still zipping through me. We will 100% be back and if you love Mediterranean food I highly recommend you come spend your money here.“
“We just popped in to get something to eat before a show, I got the roasted bone marrow and it was delicious! Everything on the menu looked beautiful so I hope to come back to Seattle soon to try more. On the way out the owners gave me a HUGE bone cause I asked for a box for the bone from my dish, to make treats for my dog. That was sooooo sweet and unexpected! Thank you so much and we will definitely stop in again“
“Ordered on Christmas night and the food was fresh and authentic. The portions are big so bring an appetite. The only thing I’d recommend (if your like me and don’t like a lot of dressing or sauce) is maybe tell them half dressing on the sandwich..Besides, that the meal was awesome! I’ll definitely be back.“
“I had the most amazing experience at Corvus this evening! The atmosphere was amazing, the bartender was so kind, attentive, and made the most delicious cocktails! We only had fries, but they were super tasty, perfectly crisp, and well seasoned! I can't wait to come back for dumplings next time!“
“Yum yum yum!! Wow this was so flavorful and wonderful. It’s a counter service where you go up and order then they bring you the food. The platters are legit. That rice was so good and the hummus….chefs kiss. I’m just so happy we stumbled upon this place and ate here. Yum! The price given the quantity is fair.“
“My favorite place to get take out for dinner. Lovely small local restaurant with great food. There are so many options in the area but I think the food matches the pricing. The amount of gyro meat I got on my fries was extremely generous. Highly “
“This is some of the best restaurant food I’ve had. Great taste, high quality ingredients, and reasonable prices. Service was also attentive and friendly - it was like I was eating in a friend’s kitchen. The interior is very plain and a bit dated, but don’t let that fool you. Eat here once and you’ll be back!“
“My partner had shawarma stuck in his head. He wanted to hit up our usual spot in shoreline, but it's far from kent so that was a no. We were doing laundry down farther in the strip mall, and I saw this place was 300 ft away on maps. Seemed meant to be.This is a nicer sit down place, but casual. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you.I ordered a gyro with the beef/lamb gyro meat and a greek salad. Partner ordered chicken shawarma with regular fries. We also shared some feta fries. The meal was around 50, but that's just because the extra fries were huge and $12.All of the food was great. Fresh, authentic flavours. The one thing I was hoping for was a super flavourful punch in the face. The flavours here were lower key than I'm used to.All that being said, its a bit more expensive than most places, and definitely just a once in a while splurge. But I might be back.“
“Decided to try this place out for a work lunch and it was very welcoming & food was delicious! I got the chicken shawarma wrap and their Somali spiced tea, which came with complimentary lentil soup as I was waiting for my meal. Very kind and hospitable for a quick grab and go!I highly recommend for a casual, Black-owned, local spot with fresh & made to order dishes. I also didn't feel overly stuffed or sluggish afterwards! I appreciate that their dishes are halal :)Parking: It's street parking, but it wasn't very difficult to find a spot on MLK.“
“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!“
“Lovely people serving delicious food! My chicken shawarma salad was ready in minutes. It was filled with fresh veggies and a pile of chicken with feta as well. Didn't forget to grab a side of pita and hummus to go along with your meal!“
“Sadly 2 of our 3 dinners were not up to the usual standards at this local pre-opera/ events. My gyro meat dinner was great but the lamb kabob was over cooked and the chicken tawook was also dry. Bc we were going to the opera, my friends didn't send their dinners bc of the time frame. We will definitely return. We've been going there for years. We just hope for a better meal experience. The service was excellent.“
“The Shop Agora is Seattle's very best restaurant. Nikos' food and wine selection is a hidden gem - unbelievably more delicious than the approachable price tag would suggest! But the priceless part is Nikos' thoughtful entertainment. He curates the small restaurant's crowd each evening, from a collection of happenstance strangers to neighbors who've raised a glass together. Tip well. Nikos and his team earn it every time.“
“I felt like in Morocoo.For $30++/person you will get 6 dish. Salad, Lentil Soup, B'stilla Royale, Main Dish, Rice Pudding & Mint Tea.The lamb was so good. It doesn't taste too lamb-y. So don't worry if you are not lamb person, it'll turn out good.Definitely will come back.“
“The breakfast taste pretty good. Nice pancake. Makes you want to eat more. The side dish is pretty nice. Lamb with bomb also pretty nice. Fried chicken taste pretty interesting as well. Not bad for one that isn't freshed fried. Enjoyed the meal in this small restaurant. Have to come back for some other dishes.“
“If you're in the mood for some delicious and authentic Jordanian food in Seattle, then Petra is the place to go to! This was my second time at this restaurant, and I'm so happy that the quality of their food and service has remained as amazing as it was when I first came here 2 years ago!Great vibes and decor in the interiors, very friendly staff, and great service. The food portions were also big, and super flavorful and delicious. We started our meal with Mosabaha and some warm pita bread. We then also had the shish tauk which came with this delicious garlic sauce and buttery rice, and the lamb ouzi. It was the perfect comfort meal, and we left with a food coma, and leftovers that we enjoyed the next day. I can't wait to come back to Seattle to try more of their wonderful dishes!“
“I have been to this place a few times and though the food is delicious, there is always at least a twenty to thirty minute wait. If you are on a time crunch and looking for a quick bite I would not necessarily go here. The food is very good though. I recommend the gyro. Fries are pretty bomb too.“
“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!“

“Amazing flavor!! I ordered the chicken gyro with rice on the side and hummus and pita to go... the rice was flavored to perfection, the gyro very flavorful and wrapped perfectly so it didnt fall apart as I ate it and the hummus was perfect and “
“I had heard that Eltana makes good bagels. Now that I have tried them for myself, I must respectfully disagree. "Good" is a word used to describe, for example, a bagel that you might enjoy having for breakfast. At a stretch, perhaps even a breakfast you would fondly anticipate while thinking about it the night before. These are not "good" bagels. These are dangerous bagels. These are profound bagels. These are fugitive toric avatars from some fragrant and crispy celestial realm. I should have ordered more. - C“
“I ordered a beef steak yeero and a 6 piece falafel . The yeero was absolutely delicious. I couldn’t get enough of the creamy garlic sauce they added,but I think I was shorted since it only had 3 small pieces of steak. Otherwise, it was phenomenal. The falafel were okay. They looked smaller and flatter than advertised. I think they were slightly overcooked but tzatziki sauce was awesome. Overall this is a cute little stop for a quick lunch. Thank you!“
“This is one of the good restaurants with delicious Turkish style food. The amount of food is small, but it is delicious and tastes good. The atmosphere of this restaurant is actually part of the food court of the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue.“
“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!!! ✨“

“How does this place not have higher reviews?! I got the falafel and eggplant sandwich but as a tortilla wrap, with the fries on the side. It came with this delicious sauce that I think was tamarind. The dolmas were also great, real fresh and warm dolmas not the canned kind that some places sell and upcharge the heck out of. They even gave us some tasty soup while we were waiting for our order to get made. Overall great food for the price point, take out held up very well on the drive home, and better quality than any other Mediterranean spot in this area.“
“A gem of a hole-in-the-wall! Incredibly delicious food and great portions. The shawarma in particular was my favorite. Fast and friendly service, too. Definitely recommend stopping in for delicious Mediterranean food whenever you're down by Pike Place Market.“
“Turkish pide is now something I will look for, thanks to Istanbul Cuisine in Bellevue, WA. The taste, texture, aroma, and presentation of their pide was WOW! Everything about it was delightful and balanced - every bite was delicious! We also love their Ciq Kofte and Kunefe - rich and satisfying! A must try for those who seek well-made food.“
“I've been coming here for years (before and after COVID) and it has been my go to spot for a quick and tasty lunch. While not at the same level as a full restaurant, the food is tasty and the staff have always been super nice. I usually get a Gyro combo with fries and haven't been disappointed yet.“
“Food was great! Very tasty, and the environment was big and clean. Only complaint I have is they are VERY STINGY with their sauce ?. my gyro had no tzatziki sauce at all. And my Greek fries had little to no sauce at all I honestly thought I had someone else’s order. I then went up to the counter to purchase the sauce which I don’t mind paying extra for , but the guy almost charged me 8$ for the 2 very small cups of sauce. It was comical. They size of sauce is about the size of a dime. I do recommend this restaurant and will be back for lunch today none the less.“
“The tradition of finding some of the best food in the most unassuming places could not be more true of Ishtar. This was our first time here and even though we're dans of a hole in the wall, even we were suspicious. But it was a slam dunk. The owner was awesome, service was friendly and familiar, and we learned they have been open for 10 years, surviving COVID. Could not recommend this place more.We got the chicken tikka and the lamb gyro, both were excellent. When you're craving a gyro, come here.“
“This is my second time going there I got myself lamb&beef shawarma also spicy chicken shawarma with the sauce that gives a little kick to it sheeeeeeesh & let me tell you this, it was fresh well seasoned, amazing full of flavors, healthy & delicious. This is by far the best shawarma I had Mashallah.“
“Update: I appreciate the bar owner or manager Erik for reaching out after I'd had poor experience with some employees and refunded my bill. He explained that staff changes have occurred since my visit. I'm updating my review to reflect the quick response and correction from the management, who could have otherwise ignored my feedback.“

“I make it a point to stop at Sahara Cafe every time I'm near the airport! I always get the lamb gyro plate because it was so delicious the first time I ordered it. It comes with meat sautéed with peppers and onions, rice, salad, cooked greens, and a banana. The meat is super tender and flavorful. I love the rice; they give you a lot of it! The salad can get very wilty next to the hot food, so I recommend to eat that right away. The greens are flavorful and delicious! Also try the red and green hot sauces! They knock my socks off with spiciness, so make sure you do a taste test before dumping them on. I've always done take out, but there is an indoor seating area attached that is open for dine-in. They do large orders for local community members, so make sure you order early. I wait at least 30 minutes most times I order from there. Another struggle is the parking. There's a tiny drive beside the restaurant for parking and often cars park on the sidewalk. It can be a little scary but well worth the hassle!“
“First visit, quite impressed! This might just be currently the best late night into early morning hr's more casual style, non fast food, real deal offering in the entire Seattle area! Tried two platters: Charmoula chicken plate and the Lam shank roast both where delicious. Customer service was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and looking forward to next time. New favorite late night into early morning eatery! -St.Rick "Line out the door" and "Car trunk take out" Hobby ProPS. Bonus: 38 Reviews is nothing for such a real deal, superstars of Seattle late night place, lets all get Casablanca Express some more honest and fair reviews!“
“Food was as good as the service . Last time I bring my wife n son to their shop. And they are very unpredictable of how each sandwich will taste . Each 3 times I ordered same food but it never is the same . Hey , I tipped too much like a fool .. hope ur experience is better than mine .“
