“ Delicious food and friendly staff. We ordered the lamb shawarma, falafel sandwich and Greek fries. The shawarma was juicy and well balanced, tons of veg and a delicious sauce. They were very generous with the falafel and crunchy pickles. The best part by far were the Greek fries, hot crispy fries, creamy garlic sauce, cheese and zatar. Try it with the hot sauce for sure for some spicy vinegar contrast. The cashier was patient and warm and we had had our food brought over quickly. Not too noisy or too busy despite being next to Seattle center. Check this place out, it's a gem! ”
“ my fave place to eat Uptown. Greek salad n pita bread today fantastic. stopped on on way to see a broadcast at kexp nearby. given more time I like to have the lamb combo or gyro. it's the best anywhere. the guys here always happy and welcoming ”
“ Ordered falafel and shawarma sandwiches. The portions were good for the price, the sandwiches were very good and the fries were great (which isn’t common for Arabic restaurant fries). Prices were very fair. I’d eat here again. ”
“ The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I tried the falafel salad and the royal kabab, both of which were very tasty and balanced. The garlic sauce is the perfect addition to the salad. ”
“ My favorite restaurant in all of Seattle! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu at this point, and every single item is fantastic! I come to lunch or dinner here almost every day for the past year and a half, and still never get tired of the food. Highly recommend!! ”
