37 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Woodinville

“Sooo delicious. One of the best restaurants in the Seattle area. Chicken pate, and then Ikura Salmon caviar linguini with lemon zest and dill. Also had the balsamic braised short rib with celeriac purée but forgot to take pictures. Too busy eating the deliciousness.“

“It's been years since I had been at this restaurant so I was delighted that it remained consistent all these years later. We were welcomed and seated immediately on a not so busy weeknight evening. We were offered bread service immediately, that lovely fresh bread with garlic oil was amazing!! We opted for the bruschetta for an appetizer, it was divine! The baguette was so good, and the tomatoes were fresh and plump! For the main, I ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce and Italian sausage, while my partner had the Papperdelle dish. Both were fresh and the sauces were cooked well. The prices look scary but we agreed it was great value for money. Our server was great too. The interior has an old style Italian feel. Overall a lovely experience, glad to see this small local business still open.“

“Excellent experience! Can’t go wrong with a meal where everything is made from scratch. Had shrimp curry and the sauce was amazing. Appreciate that nothing in our meal was cooked in oil,grease or fat. The naan is worth the wait. Will definitely go back!“

“Went here after hearing lots of good feedback. Food was great as I expected. We got a bunch of different dishes to share. What I was not expecting was the lovely, warm family atmosphere of the restaurant. I was expecting more of a "grab food to go" set up. We decided to dine in and I'm so glad we did. The service was excellent, so attentive and kindly answered all of my questions about the food. We will be back!“

“I had a GREAT falafel plate today with generous portions of falafel, salad and hummus all homemade and delicious! I also had wonderful pistachio baklava which I took home for later! I will be going back to this great little cafe again!! I highly recommend Gryo Guys Halal Grill!!“

“We saw the high reviews for this place a while ago, and decided to stop by for dinner since we were in the area. Wow! The reviews are right. The food, and the service was AMAZING. We got the vegetarian platter(falafel and cauliflower), the dish with the kebab combo of Lamb, chicken, & beef, and two kids meals for our littles.The rice was very flavorful, the hummus was smooth and delicious. The vegetarian platter was filling and idk if I liked the falafel or the cauliflower more. The meats were very flavorful and juicy.Everyone was full and happy. There were plenty of leftovers for a second meal. Everything was worth the price, and the drive.Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian options“

“Shawarma Time in Bothell exceeded my expectations with their incredibly tasty food. From the first bite, I was impressed by the flavors and quality of their shawarma. Each dish was a delightful combination of fresh ingredients and authentic spices. If you're craving delicious shawarma with reasonable price, Shawarma Time is definitely the place to go!“

“I've been in the area over 10 years now and confident I have tried all the different Persian spots in the Puget Sound. This one is the best, not only for the food but the staff are the friendliest and really take care of you. The food across the board is higher quality and more expertly prepared than anywhere else I've seen.“

“Some of the most generous, friendly, attentive service in Seattle.We visited on a whim on a Tuesday evening, and we were the only guests during our time there. There was a server whose shift ended shortly after taking our orders, so it was just us and the owner/chef afterward. Really felt more like we had been invited into a family home to eat.The food is pretty good, very homey. Gigantic portions.Salmon penne - it could have used more vegetables, basil, and salt (or maybe just less pasta). The owner suggested adding more stuff at home to the leftovers, which I did, and it was great!Chicken marsala - can't go wrong with a cream, mushroom, and white wine sauce. Very good, and well seasoned.The menu and interior do feel a bit dated as others have said, but it didn't bother us. But I really think the specials menu should include prices.“

“Absolutely did not expect being inclined to write a response, but I had to because this beef/lamb gyro was absolutely delicious. Every single ingredient, especially the lettuce was fresh. The fries are plus as a side and are made perfectly. I chose the spicy option and was pleased it was mild enough to enjoy the taste of the sauce and tzatziki. 10/10 even when ordered almost 5 miles away. It was fresh and warm as if I sat down inside.“

“I have eaten here several times, and I've had several different offerings from the menu... let me tell you... Everything is always great! Salads are crisp, cool, and fresh. Everything has been absolutely perfect every time I've been there! Service is second to none. They are always friendly, even when I take a long time to order. ? I would actually give the 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Go eat there, you won't be disappointed.“

“The owner is incredibly personable and is very involved with his restaurant. His staff is very attentive and have excellent customer service skills. I chose a faster made food, the Chicken Kabob (recommended by the owner) and there was nothing that made it feel rushed or made cheap even though the price was amazing for the amount of food that came about 10 mins after ordering. BEST DARN KABOB I'VE EVER HAD IN SEATTLE. I'm sad I didn't try this place out when I lived in the neighborhood 10 yrs ago. I'd be a lot fatter by now...“

“Didn’t know it was food truck but didn’t matter as the food was very flavorful and tasty. Its pretty big portion and the price is reasonable. The owner is very nice and friendly. There’s outdoor seating as well as a comfy indoor seating inside a shed like structure next to the truck.“

“Lovely restaurant! Their kebabs and chicken shawarma were delicious!! Ive never had baba ghanoush before but I certainly will have it again. The hummus was fresh and silky. If you enjoy Mediterranean food, you should really try Babylon. It was recommended to me by an Iraqi friend. It's one of her favorite places.“

“We really love the greek salad here but it is too expensive ($16!). Last time we had considerably less meat than usual also. We would visit more if the prices were more reasonable and if meat portions more generous. This is a take out place but it seems to have dine in prices.“

“Never a bad day at this restaurant. We’ve been here so often, that Shay the owner remembers our names and orders. We rarely go to the same place twice, but the food and service here has blown us away. Both Shay and Moussad treat their customers like family. Food is always fresh, cooked perfectly and comes in huge quantities. They’ve been around for 15 years and have so many loyal customers that they sell out on most days!“

“As a connoisseur of good food, I have tried almost all good restaurants in the Seattle area and I can vouch Bella Balducci’s quality of meat is simply peerless. If you like eating meat outside without burning a hole in the pocket, this is my top recommendation.“

“4.5 StarsCasual Mediterranean spot located in a plaza.I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($12.99) - the portions were awesome (it could have basically been two wraps) and it was stuffed full of protein. It also had peppers and tomatoes and such in it. Super tasty.The white and hot sauces we asked for on the side were the cherry on top.Cons: my friend noted it was very greasy and wasn't a very :"authentic" shawarma wrap (too minced).I loved it though. Order at the counter and sit down.“

“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!“

“The food is just delicious!! Very Good quality ingredient by far one of the best meat I ever tested. Recommend chicken sandwich and class burger. The shawarma was ok (I did not like too much the spices in the sauce but the chicken was very good)Only one improvement I wish was made is to increase the fries’ quality otherwise you will still be a bit hungry hahaThe restaurent is super clean! The staff are very nice too.Inside there’s only 2 small tables a bit crowded but during cold weather it’s very good to have.“

“I dont give many places a 5 star rating, especially with how this place was lacking on service and atmosphere, but honestly? Rhe food more than makes up for these things. This is probably the best Mediterranean food I have had si ce the east coast and I could not recommend it more highly, it would benefit from a rad more sauce but other than that this place is very very good.“

“Best Biryani you can eat! Authentic. Home style. Moderately spicy. Lamb, chicken, and sometimes goat. They always have amazing free Moroccan tea complimentary. Very friendly staff. Small area for seating. It's inside the Muslim community center in redmond ( maps). People are friendly and welcoming.“

“Go here. We had the falafel wrap and the dolma. They both were outstanding. Fresh ingredients and fast, friendly service. We complemented the chef and he gave us a "shaklava" on the house. Looks like baklava with chocolate on top. Ooooooie was it tasty!!! The place was clean, quiet, and inviting.“

“I’ve been to this Greek restaurant many times because you love their chicken and lamb souvlaki. The meat is always tender and juicy, and you find the price and portion sizes good. Recently, I ordered catering for 15 people and they provided plenty of food. The restaurant is very clean for dining in, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking healthy and clean Greek food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’ll admit…I ordered the wrong thing, so that’s my bad!I wanted to try the Grilled Mixed Vegetable Rice Bowl, but I accidentally ordered the Grilled Mixed Vegetable Hummus Bowl…what can I say…it was a long day…Anyway, the food was delivered via Uber Eats, and arrived promptly, was warm, and packaged well! I appreciate that attention to detail because the last thing you want in the middle of a long work day is a mess showing up at the office!I will say that the hummus itself was tasty! I also enjoyed all of the vegetables, except the cauliflower which tasted burnt! The pita was ordered separately, which was unfortunate because it wasn’t enough to accompany the hummus. So, basically there ended up being a lot leftover. I mean that’s fine, but I am not a big fan of the leftovers. I also feel like there should have been more vegetables.Anyway, overall, it was an okay dish! I do want to go back and try something different to see if ordering what I was more in the mood for makes a difference! lol!“

“We went to this place for a breakfast day after valentine's with my husband. It's warm and cozy place to eat. Food was great!! Ambiance is homely, people don't mind if it's quite loud that's what I like about it. COUNTRY STYLE!“

“We went here for the first time and got the falafel gyro and a large side of Greek fries.Our experience was great, the food was fresh and delicious. I was a little skeptical about getting the Greek fries as they were a little spendy, but they are definitely worth it, they are loaded with feta, I only wish they came with and side of tzatziki sauce. All in all, we had a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!!“

“We have eaten here a few times and it is always great food.Today we ordered delivery and the delivery driver missed one of the two bags. Not the fault of the restaurant at all, just unlucky. The restaurant called me and let me know what happened, then offered to deliver the second bag themselves. It wasn't very far and I offered to come grab it myself but they insisted. They delivered the second half of the order and even included an extra dessert and sauces.Wow. So far above and beyond what I would expect. They are incredibly nice. The food is great too.“

“I’ll definitely come back, the falafel sandwich was really delicious. I asked for some spice and I would recommend that you ask too if you like spicy! Plus the Baklava was super delicious, it was like ASMR biting into it. The top layer was so crispy and made a super satisfying crunch noise when eating it.“

“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.“

“This month, I come here almost every day in the late afternoon, I really liked it here, I like it when a husband and wife cook, they do it very quickly and deliciously, I'm already here as a regular customer, I order from them earlier and they greet us with a smile, thank you very much, Mary and Juan.“

“Come here for the bar and happy hour! Happy hour prices are awesome ($5 for greek fries, $7 for small gyro + fries). They have a full bar and long list of cocktails and seasonal cocktails. All were amazing and I strongly recommend the Zeus Juice and Pear Martini. Bartender was newer to the restaurant and really friendly!“

“The Lamb Schwarma plate is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a portion to generously have leftovers later! The soup that comes with their plates is comforting without being heavy, and I could eat it every day. Also, if you love garlic, their MK fries are a must buy - my friend & I shared a half order, and came nowhere close to finishing them!“

“Great location, great food, great drinks, great company, great history, and great atmosphere. This awesome underground tavern is definitely one to mark off your list of places to visit. Great for readers, history’s buffs and speak easy frequenters. Cheers!“

“Omg finally a Pakistani restaurant that offers mild options AND has delicious food. They have happy hour every day and even sell mocktails!!! Their lycheetini is so so so good. I honestly loved everything on their menu. Their naans are baked fresh and included with the curries. My new favorite restaurant, honestly the best one in the area. I drive 30 mins out for them bc it's worth it Vegetarian options: Lots of options including both South Asian curries and Mediterranean food like hummusDietary restrictions: Offers vegetarian, GF, and alcohol free options (mocktails)Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
