I love this place. I started with a light lentil/ bean soup was good and not over rich or thick. The Veggie platter was GREAT! Came with Falafel, dorma atop rice with fried cauliflower like tempura. The hummus and baba ganouj were great and finished with a light n crispy Baklava. I would definitely come back when in town.

Went in on a weekday at lunch and ordered a Gyro Sandwich to go. I believe it was $7 or $8 with tip. Gorgeous, giant Gyro with just the right amount of meat and sauce, as well as plenty of veggies. The sandwich came with a generous helping of fries and a cute little piece of baklava - Could hardly touch either after devouring my Gyro (though both were tasty!) Friendly service and a quick turn around for takeout. I'll be returning!

Completely unexpected gem. Doesn't oust my number one Mediterranean place totally, but wonderfully tasty, EXCELLENT price, and charming service. Go! Nom! Be delighted!

I've been to the Mediterranean Kitchen in Bellevue and was happy to hear that both restaurants were owned by the same person. I had the chicken shish taouk and it was soooooooooooooooooooo yummy. The chicken was garlicky, the rice and the hummus were lemony. I love this place! The service was friendly and quick. Dinner for THREE included soup, salad, and a small bite size piece baklava. Total bill was $37 before tip. The baklava was yummy that I tried to order another but the owner's wife just went ahead and gave me an extra little piece! I'm in love with this place!

This place is the best middle eastern/mediterranean food in Seattle area! We have pretty much tried everything on the menu and they are all very good. Price is very reasonable and owners are very nice. Baklava is to die for- they always give it to us for free as part of the meal. I have also tried mediterranean kitchen in Bellevue and I think this one has much better food. If you have not tried this place, it's a must!!!! Our favorites are the beef kabob, lamb kabob, chicken thigh and the chicken swarma.
(5)Jessica H.
Loved this place! Best falafel I've ever had! One thing, if you want a falafel wrap, you must say so. Otherwise you will probably be served the falafel plate. The salad dressing is also delicious. We were served soup, salad and baklava with the meal. GO!

hole in the wall, mom and pop vibe. don't be put off by the busy lunchtime crowd, you want to try this place out. the food is thoughtful and made with love. garlic love. the gyros are super yummy with just the right mix of herbs/spices, great for lunch on the run. my go to favorite here is the shish tawook with zahrah on the side, enough for two to share including two complimentary baklava bites. when dining alone, the soup du jour is always a good bet. it has an intimate setting, great for a friend/day date. busy lunchtime/hospital crowd so you may have a wait.

Can I get in trouble for plagiarizing another review? I agree precisely with Anthony on two points: Good food, attentive service, ample portions and reasonable prices. Since I work nearby, I expect to be going there for lunch at least once a week. I've wanted Mediterranean for a while but there was never a place nearby to go to. This the best Mediterranean I've ever had (admittedly I haven't had that much) and it's in walking distance of work! Salad was a bit odd, no dressing, just raw onion for flavor. Soup was nice and hearty. Shwarma was perfect, just right bed of rice covered in lamb and sauce. And Baklava for desert.
(5)Kit A.
This is a very solid restaurant. The meats in some of the less expensive dishes are not top tier but the flavor is absolutely there. I've been here with friends and every dish looked and smelled great. I can't wait for an opportunity to come on a Monday to try their braised lamb shank. It sounds killer. The portions are very generous. You will absolutely not leave hungry. Their lunch items are a very fair price. I know it's anatomically inaccurate to say that the food is 'rib-stickin' good', but I will. I just cant help it.

I went to this place for dinner along with 2 other friends on a week night. This was by far the most amazing Mediterranean food I had in Seattle. I would give it all the 5 stars. We ordered 2 plates of Veggie Combo (Falafel, Grape Leaves, Hummus)and one Lamb Gyros. All the entrees were served with soup, salad and pita bread. The lamb gyros was simply out of the world. The meat was soft and perfectly cooked, I could tell by the way it cut only! The rice that came along was also amazing, not sure how they made it but it was a perfect combination of all that went into it :) Falafel was equally good. Quantity was quite a lot too, in spite of being hungry I could just have half of the plate. More ever, the whole dinner cost us just $35, taxes included! Couldn't ask for a better deal. The owner cooked himself, no wonder food was so delicious! The place had an open kitchen so you could clearly see your food being made. Though its not very big, each table was spacious and could comfortably sit group of 4. Staff was very courteous n accommodating too. They happily replaced few items in the veggie combo with extra falafels. The whole place had a very casual feel to it. I will definitely recommend to anyone who likes med food. A group of up to 6 will be comfortable. The place cannot fit very large groups.
(5)dave m.
Great place! Portions are huge and every dish comes with soup and salad. It gets busy and is a bit small, but we got a table right away. Chicken shwarma was really good!
(5)Simon C.
Good value . Food ok but not great. No wine.
(3)M B.
Very friendly waitstaff and they give you complimentary baklava at the end of the meal!
(4)Khanh S.
The first week we discovered this restaurant, we ate there every day for two weeks straight! It has such fresh and flavorful food and the owners are delightful! It started off slow, but once it was discovered, it quickly became packed during lunch time. They seem to have out-grown the location size already, and have some challenges with the wait staff being reliable for showing up, which makes it extra busy for the owners to handle everything. But we gladly wait in line for a table since the food is so yummy. Quality and portion size is exceptional!
(5)niz s.
So..if you looking for a delicious Mediterranean restaurant for a good price then you have found it. This is a great family owned restaurant and the owners have over 30 years of experience making great Mediterranean dishes. My favorite is the garlic chicken, but there is so much more healthy food to choose from. From veggie lovers to meat lovers, they have it all! And don't forget to ask them about their home made baklava (: yumm!
(5)Caroline G.
Homemade food, huge portions, sweet service... Start with a hot cup of lentil soup after folding down your umbrella from the rain. Next a small salad with crunchy lettuce and garlic dressing is in a bottle on the table. You won't be able to finish your main course if you sample the pita bread, so hang in there and sip a glass of wine. Inexpensive prices I had morrocan Chicken marinated and broiled, was yummy. My son refused to share his because it was so great :) Not the fastest as is the owner cooking and one waitress but all was great!
(5)Dan R.
Wow. I'm shocked at all the good reviews. I just ordered it and we both stopped eating it because we were concerned it may make us sick. The lamb tasted off in the lamb Shwarma. Not fresh. Also like they tried to cover it up with an overpowering citrus marinade. Just not good at all. Also light on the lamb & very heavy on the cabbage & rice. The Hummus just tasted like straight Tahini paste. No flavor. Again, just not good. 2 stars, not 1, because delivery was fast & friendly. Eat & learn!
(2)Sheryle I.
Tried the shwarmas, lamb and african chicken. Dropped in for a quick lunch and it took close to an hour from sit down to check paid. Overall, I was not impressed by either dish. Both came with rice, pita, and a choice of soup or salad. I'm not sure how pita is supposed to be, but they were incredibly flat which I didn't care for. The soup was alright (split pea), the salad was about house salad standards. Despite all of this, I would say that the service was decent and the water glasses never went empty, which was this places saving grace. Also, the prices weren't terrible, about $18 for two lunches.
(2)Tan Lo S.
Delicious, delicious food. Ugh, what can I say? We came around early dinner (5pm?) and it was empty. I was surprised. But that was good for us. We ordered the bekka wings, the lamb/beef gyro platter, and the north african chicken. Our orders came with a warm lentil soup, salad with their amazing garlic dressing, and PITA, YUM! The pita was warm and tasted actually house-made. Not sure if it was, but it was good. & tell me why they didn't even charge us when we asked for more? How sweet of them!! The bekka wings are AMAZE-BALLS! I don't know if this place is the same as Mediterranean Kitchen in Bellevue, but it was pretty similar food/menus. These wings were just like the one in Bellevue. Tender, soft, juicy, fragrant, and so damn delicious. Ugh, I just wanted to pretend I could eat all 6 or 7 wings to myself. But after the apps, I could only eat 3. It was so damn good especially with the yellow rice. Loved it. The drizzled sauce on top was creamy, a little garlicy, and all sorts of tasty. I want more of that sauce! The plate also came with hummus, which was personally, not my favorite thing. But my brother liked it. The gyro platter was probably my favorite dish because it was super tender and flavorful. It tasted how it should. Gyro meat is probably my favorite if done right. This one was definitely done right and they give you generous portions! I am definitely getting that platter next time. The north African chicken was so good. It tasted either Moroccan or Egyptian, but I couldn't tell. It was good though. It had this amazing smell, I'm thinking cumin? Not sure, but the spices were so tantalizing. The sauce was amazing and the chicken was so tender and the veggies on the plate were perfect. Everything seriously had me mesmerizing. Yumm! Overall, good food, great service, and the ambiance is pretty chill. Price range is pretty fair, around $9-$14 for a generous plate. They check on you often and ask you if you like their food and definitely accommodate you to perfection. Only sucky thing is the location because of parking. Otherwise, go there!

Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Solid Mediterranean place! Went here on a weekday evening around dinner time and it wasn't crowded, had an attentive waitress, and one chef that has definitely mastered the art of timing plates! We ordered the baba ghanouj, chicken shawarma, and the bekaa wings. The baba ghanouj and chicken shawarma were pretty standard in my opinion-all the flavors you would expect, bold spices and topped with tahini over buttery rice. The bekaa wings were AMAZING. They were juicy, full of flavor and charbroiled to perfection! I made a mess of myself gobbling them down... You get 6 full wings, drizzled with garlic sauce, on top of a bed of rice. The garlic sauce is a little tangy, so it can get a little overwhelming towards the end, but these dishes are big enough to save half for later and be completely satisfied for both meals. Would definitely recommend and return for this dish. I haven't seen this anywhere else yet but it may be because I haven't been looking until now. Both dishes also came with lentil soup, a small side salad with homemade dressing and pita.
(4)Chessie S.
They have tangy and savory kabobs for sure! We ordered the North African Chicken and the Combination Kabob. The North African Chicken was tender and the plate was layered: rice, chicken, grilled veggies, tomato sauce. The Combo Kabob had beef, lamb and chicken kabob, each with its own unique flavor. You can taste the grill on the beef and it is medium rare. Smokey! It also has a drizzling of garlic sauce. The lamb is topped with grilled veggies and a thin tzatziki. The chicken was seasoned and decorated in a thicker tzatziki. Both of our meals came with warm pita bread, hot leek soup and a small salad with a garlic lover's dressing which was great because I had skipped lunch. So the food tided me over before the entre. We were hoping for Chateau Que Freire but the personable owner spoke to us about difficult it is to get suppliers to carry Lebanese wine right now. The food has my husband reminiscing his days in Lebanon and adding it to our vacation wish list.
(4)Tfabulous R.
The food at was ok. The rice was over cooked and the meat was tough I don't know that I would ever come back to this place again on a positive note the floors and tables were all clean
(3)Angela r.
I was meeting a friend there for lunch. She couldn't make it, but I decided to give it a try. I ordered a chicken dish, but told the waitress I did not like sauces. So to please put no sauce on the food. I enjoyed the lentil soup that came with my lunch and probably should have just ordered that instead. So even though my waitress assured me that no sauce would be placed on my meal, I'm sitting there watching the food being made and what does their cook do? Dumps sauce all over my dish. I should have returned it. Oh well. I won't go back. But the soup is delicious!
(2)Ronnie P.
I was given the option of selecting "Extra Spicy" which I did. Apparently, this means they will pour a bunch of dried chili powder all over your food. Will not order again.
(2)Denise W.
Great place my limo driver recommended for lunch. Very flavorful and yammy, huge portions yet very affordable. My lamb shawarma was awesome and delicious! Will be back for more
(5)Ed G.
I order my food online I got the habit of walking my dog and pick up on my way home. I walk in they ask if I need help I told them I am here to pick up my order the way he look he got no clue about my order. He told to wait outside I did he check the computer came out and told I have to wait or 10 minutes. I just told him too canceled my order.
(1)Annette L.
Super happy to try this place using Bitesquad today. I've ordered takeout some time ago and nothing has changed. Great service and food and now with quick delivery....so happy. We had gyros, fries and baklava. Generous portions, flavorful meat and the guys enjoyed the dessert. Try the online delivery option for sure.
(4)Jennifer Y.
Get the Farmers Plate! Chicken wings, on a bed of rice, drizzled with an awesome creamy garlic sauce, pita, hummus, soup, and a salad. The plate is $15, but I can make about 2 (maybe 3 small meals out of this). So delicious!!
(4)Sean B.
Love this little place! Food was great and Gahda was a wonderful hostess. Will definitely be back!
(5)Molly L.
I decided to try this place because it delivers and I was craving Mediterranean. The stated delivery was 45-75 minutes which I thought was pretty long. However, they delivered right around the 45 minute range. In general, the food was good. I ordered the hummus, the gyro plate, and the chicken shawarma. By far, the gyro plate was the best! The lamb was cooked to perfection; not too dry or soggy with the perfect amount of spices. The chicken was also flavored very well along with the rice but it just couldn't compare to the lamb. I was disappointed with the hummus. I found it flavorless and I had much better hummus. However, they give you a lot of pita bread which was good. Lastly, the rice did not reheat well for a different day but the meat did. I would come back here again for their lamb, just not the hummus.
(4)Gabrielle Anne M.
Service was very friendly and the dishes were spectacular. Great for small groups and for trying something new! Highly recommend their Bekka Chicken and their cauliflower appetizer. I am definitely coming back here again sometime in the near future.
(5)Rachel A.
Pretty good little lunch spot! I ordered the gyro platter. The Gyro was decent and I enjoyed the cabbage and tomatoes on top. It came with pita and lentil soup which were both good, and a great value for $8.50! Servers were friendly. Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked great, and I'll definitely be back to try their other dishes!
(4)Terry P.
What happened to my lamb shawarma???!!! There were times when I used to get take out from this place once a week. Food was off the chart good, service was prompt, and the previous owners were so adorable! Just the matching "garlic lover" shirts alone were worth at least another half star! Unfortunately the good food retired with the owners in Lebanon. The sauce, soup and rice are still pretty good, but the meat is awful. Not that it's bad meat or anything, but when lamb, one of the most flavorful types of meat, is dry and doesn't taste like anything, it raises eyebrows. I used to be a passionate advocate for this location against its cousin in Bellevue...sadly that's no longer the case. To new management: if you're listening, please revive this place to its former glory.
(3)Jacquie D.
Oh, my sweet happy mouth!!! So SO GOOD!!! And they DELIVER!!! Best thing ever on a cold rainy Saturday, thank you!
(5)Tim C.
My wife and I came with high expectations, hoping that this place would be a beacon of light in an area that lacks good Mediterranean food. It wasn't bad, but it didn't live up to its 4.5 star rating. We came for lunch, and I ordered the Lamb Shawarma dish with a side salad. Don't bother getting a salad - it is incredibly underwhelming. As in, cut up romaine lettuce with one slice of cucumber and one slice of tomato on a small plate. At least the salad vinaigrette was good. My wife got her dish with a lentil soup, and that was a much better choice, in my opinion. The Lamb Shawarma itself had good flavors, but they laid the tahini sauce on a little much, so it was heavier than I would have liked it to be. The quality of the lamb meat was average - it was a little tough and chewy, but the lack of tenderness wasn't the only issue - I actually got some chunks of just fat in my dish. A tad unappetizing. I did enjoy the rice and grilled veggies, so that was a plus. My wife ordered the North African Chicken dish. She wasn't too pleased with it. The chicken itself was actually good - it was rather tender and flavorful. The rest of the dish was questionable, though. The veggies were cooked in a tomato sauce, and I'm hoping they didn't just take Ragu sauce and mix it with the vegetables, but to be honest, it kind of tasted that way. While it wasn't terrible, it just wasn't impressive, because that's what we do at our home, and it tasted about the same. If we return, it won't be for the North African Chicken dish. The service, without a doubt, was superb. The waiter was very friendly, accommodating, and answered all the questions we had. Overall, our experience was a pleasant one, we just had higher expectations for the food.

Living in southeast Michigan home to one of the largest middle eastern (of many nationalities) population in the US, I'm quite spoiled. The lamb shawarma I had tonight wasn't much like any of the varieties I'm used to. The cabbage in it threw me off quite a bit. That said, it was well prepared and modestly spiced. Cuisines usually must adapt to the location so I'll put my expectations to that along with what home cooking probably is for the owners. (The "this doesn't taste like my mother's meatloaf" problem.)
(3)Denise G.
A solid four-star restaurant. The lentil soup was floral and fragrant. The salad was simple but the veggies were very crisp and fresh. All the kabobs were excellent with lots of flavor and the baklava was light and delicious.
(4)Benjamin J.
Just stopped in today for a quick lunch on the go. I ordered the Hummus Supreme (with chicken instead of lamb). The hummus was a little bit thinner than I like, and was very heavy on the tahini. Also, it came with two pieces of pita. The pita was a little thin, but to my surprise, there was a spot of mold on one piece! Come on, really? It's not that humid around here, which means that this was probably pretty old pita bread. I will probably not be going back, even though the service was quick and friendly. Thanks.
(2)Candi K.
This place is so good. I love Greek food. My favorite thing are the kabobs. I've tried the combination plate and everything is amazing. The beef is cooked perfectly, chicken isn't dry and lamb is good. The flavors are so amazing. Considering the rice is a side dish it is so flavorful. Great hummus too.
(5)Rosie N.
Great food if you love meat! The owner or manager recommend that he ordered the Bekaa Wings the man almost eat his own fingers! We visited several restaurants in Seattle and Vancouver and this was his favorite and it was the cheapest restaurant we visited.
(4)Deano S.
Order: $12.00: farmers plate. Farmers chicken is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesst! Comes with 6 wings on a bed of rice and two pitas. It is so good, I can't order anything else.
(5)Mansi S.
I stumbled across this place when I was looking to grab a quick bite as I was in a time crunch. Yelp reviews for this place were great so I decided to take out a sandwich from this place. I ordered a falafel sandwich and a chicken shawarma sandwich. The two stars I've given here are just for the quick service. After I got my order, I ran towards my car as had only a few mins at hand. But this place was so disappointing. Their falafel sandwich was so much filled with tahini sauce that the sandwich tasted bitter. The falafel was bold too! Not sure why as I saw the guy fry them in front of me. Not only that but also the chicken shawarma sandwich was nowhere near Delicious. I just took a couple of bites we had to throw the sandwiches away! Money down the drain!! Not coming back ever!
(2)Alana E.
I work in the area & use to recommend this to people. I can't do this anymore because since my last review the quality & consistency has tanked to a level were I gave up going here even though I still wanted to like this place. Since there has been a change in the staff (& maybe management) this isn't very good anymore. This is terrible as the Swedish/VM area on First Hill is sorely lacking in decent restaurants.
(2)Kendra Y.
All of the "five-star" reviews have something in common: they compliment the service and the establishment. As I ordered mine for delivery, I experienced neither and so can only rate the food and delivery. The driver was prompt, but the food cartons were SMASHED. I don't mean a little battered or dented - it's recycled cardboard holding hot food, I expect them to be a little worse for wear - but bashed in. Like they'd stacked a few 10-lb weights on top of it. If I hadn't been so hungry, I would have simply given the food back and refused to pay. Darn me for being a conflict-averse west coaster! The food itself was mediocre at best. The lamb shwarma was mystery meat with an unappetizing kind of flavor to it. I'm not sure exactly what it was (it tasted almost... rancid). The glow-in-the-dark orange rice was flavorless and mushy. The gyro plate was OK, though it was the same mystery pressed meat product coupled with a kind of off-putting taste. I give that one more of a pass since there were more things on the dish to mask that strange flavor. I have no idea how people rate this place highly. Seattle doesn't have a load of good Mediterranean places, it's true. But this is one of the worst mall foodcourt kind of places I've been to. Low-quality meat, terrible cheap flavored rice, and pita bought in a supermarket (yes, my pita came in the bag they'd bought it in!), coupled with a strange undercurrent of just-about-to-go-off meat flavor. No, thank you. I'm sure the owners are very nice people, and I wish I could give a better review. But it was a terrible experience, and I'll never go back.
(1)Suz S.
Praise the Lord for falafel. First Hill can be pricey, but sometimes a girl needs fried garbanzo beans for 10 bucks. Service is pretty fast.
(4)Daniel B.
Very tasty food and at a very good price, it comes with soup and salad! I would definitely return. I read in other comments that everyone got free baklava at the end of the meal, I did not recieve this. I don't know if this is something they used to do or not but I was sort of looking forward to it :\
(4)Jamie C.
We ordered moussakaa and north African chicken with orange spice tea and of course baklava for dessert. It was AMAZING!!! The food was pretty authentic in my judgement and put together very well. The portion was quiet huge. The price seemed pretty affordable since one dish was big enough to feed two people. The tea was brewed with tea leaves not those Lipton tea bag like some other Mediterranean restaurants do. Last but not least, their baklava is made fresh everyday and it was just right. It wasn't super sweet and it was nutty, crispy, and sweet enough. Oh and they give TWO triangle-shaped pieces of baklava for one order. I would go there again =) the owner looking guy was so kind and friendly too!
(5)Cindy G.
Tie yourself to a rock before eating, because you're going to float in the air once you have a taste of their food. This is my very first review on yelp, and I just want to say that I love everything I ordered from here. The gyros plate? Phenomenal. The tabouley? Refreshing. The soup? Good for my soul. The baklava? Heavenly The people? Cordial. Excellent food, excellent service. I definitely will go back and inhale the rest of the menu.
(5)Anuj K.
I really, really like this place. But it doesn't meet my expectations of lebanese/mediterranean food that I have from Portland (it was surprisingly good there!) They have some dishes that are pure comfort food to me - especially the zahrah (soft, fried cauliflower with a tahini dressing!) If you haven't had it yet, you're in for a treat. I'm used to there being other vegetables (carrots, potatoes) with it, but the cauliflower alone is pretty delicious too. The vegetarian options are all good and I haven't been disappointed yet. A great, affordable option for those who are within walking distance for lunch.
(4)Shermena A.
This place is awesome! I held my birthday dinner here in April and they were very accomodating & friendly. Had about 24 guests and they closed their restaurant an hour earlier so we could have it to ourselves. I ordered the gyros plate (pretty much a gyro without the pita) and it was delicious. One of my friends said it would have been better without the cabbage, but I liked it (I like my veggies & I'm not picky :) The soup was good as well (similar to Filipino mung bean soup) and it was perfect for dipping the pita bread into. Nael, one of the managers, is the man! Pretty cool guy. Give em a try! p.s. I seriously made a yelp account just to give him a review because he & his staff deserve it!
(5)N B.
First off, service is fantastic. Servers and owners are all super friendly. I've tried several of the meals, and overall, I'd say everything's pretty solid. All of the meat I've tried is really tender; my only complaint is that they pretty much drown everything in sauces and condiments, and one of these sauces is pretty bitter. Unfortunately I'm not sure which of the sauces has the bitter flavor. I'd recommend asking for the sauces on the side. I'm a huge fan of the falafel, it's probably my favorite dish, here.
(3)Su S.
Very nice place. Fast and friendly service. We ordered Lamb Shawarma and Bekaa Wings. The lamb was cooked perfectly. The wings were delicious. All entrée come with soup and salad! Fantastic restaurant!!
(5)Victor S.
I got the North African chicken chicken.. It was very juicy very tasty and it came in marinated red sauce . comes with soup or salad. I got the soup and it came with pita bread. The mango juice is very good too. The service was very good .. easily my new favorite place to eat in cap hill!
(5)Jennifer D.
My favorite Geico moment is when Dracula chuckles, "I love the Lebanese." Watch out! You may find Dracula at Mediterranean Kitchen! My friends and I trekked up the hill, and arrived ~10 minutes before closing. We were warmly greeted and escorted to a table. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we all ordered shawarmas =] Maybe it was just me, but I completely missed the "All dinners served with rice, soup and salad with pita bread. All meals come with complimentary baklava" written right on the menu, so I was OVERWHELMINGLY ecstatic when the lentil soup arrived - so warm, hearty, and flavorful. And when the meal ended with baklava, I thought our table was just super special. My lamb shawarma plate was HUGE. The lamb was well-seasoned, not salty, and the tannin sauce added some extra tenderness. You will not leave this place hungry.
(4)Shay B.
Seattle. Why the hell can't you find good Mediterranean food here? That's a question for another time. This place is just not good food. I work nearby and the last time I came here the guy behind the counter was do rude to me that I swore I would never return but then came yesterday and I forgot my lunch and blah blah...I had the chicken shawarma sandwich. It was AWFUL. Old bread fell apart when it was in contact with the overly wet combination of meat and brown lettuce. Fries equally disgusting. The darling couple who used to run this place had the bar much higher. My second star is in recognition of what this place used to be. Since they've been gone, it's fallen apart. Never again, I mean it this time.
(2)Dominic D.
I'm sorry but this is a bit of a no go for me. The food was below what I was expecting. Not inedible, but not very good. I honestly think half of it came from the store.
(2)Chris B.
Awesome Mediterranean food. Very authentic! Had lentil soup, baba ganoush and veggie lover. Everything was yummy! Oh and I forgot to mention very nice pita bread.
(4)Robb M.
I am so glad that this place re-opened. I've been craving the farmers plate ever since they closed a few years ago. The farmers plate is awesome! You will never get anything else! This one dish gets them 5 stars in my opinion. If you do manage to order something else, I have never had anything here that was not good. The owners are really nice too. You just can't go wrong here. Oh, and pick up a bottle of salad dressing on your way home. You will not regret it!
(5)Elizabeth S.
Honestly the food was just a-ok but the service here was fantastic. We (a large group of us) walked over to this restaurant about 10 minutes before closing. They seated us after putting together tables and proceeded to get our order, fill our water cups frequently, and even asked if we wanted to split the checks (among our huge ass group)!! I would definitely come back if I was in the area and was major-craving Mediterranean. (:

The BF and I stopped here for dinner on a Monday evening around 6:30pm. We were greeted and seated promptly by a sweet woman, and a minute later, water was delivered, and menus dropped off, along with bowls of hot lentil soup and flatbread. I don't even like lentils and I liked this soup, it was that good. There was a small bottle of what looked like herbed olive oil on the table so I proceeded to eat the flatbread with the olive oil, and it was delicious. After that, a simple but fresh green salad was brought out, and we were told that the olive oil was also the dressing for the salad. Again, delicious. By the way, everything up to now was complimentary. I ended up ordering the Beef/Lamb gyro, which came on a super large plate with delicious rice, lettuce, tomato, onion, and the gyro, with a tzatziki sauce. BF got the Farmer's Plate, which was a pile of chicken wings on the seasoned rice, along with a side of hummus. A lot of food. We chowed down, took the other half of our meals to go, and ate our complimentary baklava. Total bill, with a generous tip, was $33. I now have my favorite go-to Mediterranean place for take out or a sit down dinner.

I stopped to eat here with two coworkers based on the reviews. Lunch includes a soup or salad. Most lunches were $9.95. I had a seasoned chicken dish which I enjoyed. My coworkers found their lunches dubious. I'd go back on my own.

Simple and fantastic. This is hidden gem and we were so fortunate to find this place during our Seattle romantic getaway. They have brief lunch business hours during the week, so come in before 2p. And get the chicken shawarma (I got the lamb, but preferred my fiance's chicken version better as it was lighter).
(4)Samantha M.
Yeah, this place is great. Not much needs to be said just know you're in for a solid dinner. We had the Lamb Shawarma and the Beef Shawarma. Both were really flavorful, and the lentil soup that comes with the dinner is spot on. My man and I had no idea about the complimentary baklava, or that the meal came with bread and soup. It was an awing moment in terms of service and taste! This is a good Sunday evening restaurant :) Overall: Great service Savory, comforting and flavorful food Hard working restaurant that has passion and consistency Laid back yet efficient experience Definitely affordable

I freaking love this place! We live down the street and go here all the time. Their food is so perfect and delicious every time. Service is great and they do carryout. If you eat there it does take a little longer but they give u multiple courses and it's a good experience. Can't say enough about their awesomeness ^.^
(5)Savannah B.
Place was empty when we came in-what a surprise! The house special and North African chicken was delicious, and the fried cauliflower appetizer in tzatziki sauce is a must try. Friendly, authentic and very satisfying.
(5)T. W.
While the wait staff here were extremely friendly and accommodating, the food here was mediocre at best. The menu is expansive, and we were all excited by the options, but ultimately this isn't a place I'd go back. The lamb shwarma was tough and chewy - it hardly tasted like lamb. The side salad was underwhelming. We ordered a chicken entree, it was a slab of white meat like you'd get on an airplane. Sorry guys, we thought given all the time we had to wait for the food to arrive that it would be better quality.
(2)Dana D.
I'm a huge fan of family operated establishments. The gyro was exceptional and the salad was prepared with very fresh ingredients. The waitress was very kind. Great for a quick lunch, and order to go, or lunch by yourself with a newspaper :)
(4)Corinne P.
This was some pretty darn good Mediterranean food. I got the beef skewers and rice.... it was delicious!!!! Service was attentive, bathroom was clean. Nothing bad to say about this place... Not that expensive and you get a plate full of food during lunch. I suggest going here on an empty stomach! :-)
(5)Robert W.
Ordered thinking the high ranking meant something... it was terrible... At least it gave me food poisoning. Also delivery service lacks the spacial awareness skills to find the ground.
(1)Bob C.
Yummy food. Great value. Excellent service. Unassuming space. Lentil soup & salad is included with dinners. Soup was slightly spicy, tart, flavorful, delicious. Had babagunush (sp?) & combo kebab. Service was great. Owner / server unexpectedly & accurately anticipated the needs of my 3 y.o.. Very nice family owned restaurant. Check it out.
(4)Andrea S.
I don't usually write reviews but I didn't want others to be mislead. Now I don't claim to be an expert on Mediterranean but the food lacked in many areas especially flavor. We had two gyro dinner plates, there was no tzatziki on either, no feta, gyro meat was blan and room temp, no onions the only "vegetable" was cabbage and cold pita bread - The rice was pretty good. Also ordered hummus, no flavor. We were hoping to fill up on the salad since we ordered takeout and we weren't planning on eating the entree but it was all vinegar. Needless to say we are hungry in Seattle.

Super casual down home Mediterranean spot! Right next to the Thai place (don't be confused like we were and sit down at the Thai place and then realize you're at the wrong restaurant). The inside is a little dated, and looks more like a sub par diner. But don't let that discourage you! It is amazing food! Only been there for lunch, you can get a full (large) portion for 8 bucks! I'm no expert on this kind of food, but the shwarma was great and the veggie combo interesting (and great too)! Hummus on the plates for lunch was awesome too! Split pea soup decent, salad a little boring (but dressing WHOA)! Baklava at the end of the meal was a treat, and was a little square slice of OMG!
(4)Mykel P.
The best hummus and falafel I've ever had. The quality of ingredients and attention to flavor detail is above and beyond any other place with similar food. It's worth a trip to Capitol Hill to meet the friendly owner and try all of their delicious food! He told me today they still hand grind their own spices. Be prepared to smell like garlic :) Support small business people!!
(5)Kevin F.
Needed a quick dinner near Swedish Hospital, and my sister-in-law (who works there) recommended this place. Small, simple interior with a friendly greeting as I walked in. Only a few other diners there. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma, and was promptly given a tasty bowl of lentil soup and some flatbread to go with it. Then a nice crisp salad (mostly iceberg lettuce with a couple hunks of tomato and cucumber - all very fresh). The salad dressing was on the side (on the table with the salt, pepper, etc in fact) so I seasoned to taste. Pretty good dressing if you like garlic. Main course arrived before I finished the salad, and was a hearty plate! I'm a reasonably healthy eater and I barely finished it. Then a cute little square of baklava came with the check. The food was very good, although if you don't like garlic, you're in the wrong place... All this for a ridiculously low price - my pre-tip check was only $12.55!
(5)Ameer A.
Had a meal here because I was at the frye art museum which is relatively nearby. The soup was nothing to write home about and the pita was a bit hard. The salad was fresh and I liked the dressing more than I normally do at mediterranean restaurants, but the Chicken Shwarma was the best I've ever had hence the 5 stars. And relatively cheap for the amount of food you get. Will be back again.
(5)Megan B.
I live a few blocks from this location, and everytime my boyfriend and I go in for dinner we are greeted with open armed hugs, delicious food and wonderful service. I love that the chief prepares your meal right when you order it, and stands tall behind the slogan in the window, Good food takes time, please be patient. I recomend the Fatoush sald, the gyro plate, the hummus is the creamiest I have ever had. It melts in your mouth. Check it out! You will fall in love with the husband and wife owners.
(5)Austin B.
Excellent food all around. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but if you want to go extra-right, make sure to get your mouth parts on some of the farmers dish. Out of sight.
(5)Mahsa K.
Soo Mom and Pop cuuute. Great vegetarian platters for only ten bucks. I could eat their rice all day long.
(3)M T.
Dollar for dollar, it doesn't get much better than this! Everything is good. The entree portions are large, the quality top notch and you get soup and salad with it. Even with two entrees and and appetizer you get out of there for about $20 per person. Don't miss out on the Zahrah (sp?). This cauliflower appetizer is now my favorite and it will be yours too! This is now our favorite place to go when we need a last minute dinner.
(5)R A.
This is the perfect place for lunch if you like Mediterranean cuisine. We had lamb kabobs and chicken. Both were moist and flavorful, served on a hearty bed of saffron rice. We will definitely visit again.
(4)Kate B.
Super friendly service. Delicious food. The peanut sauce on the Moroccan chicken is a delight.
(4)Linda D.
Wow, surprisingly not impressed. I ordered the gyro sandwich. If you are looking for piles of lamb/beef on sofa pita bread with tremendous flavor, don't go here. The meat was definitely processed, each piece was uniform. The bread was a wrap, not pita, and cooked till crispy (ewwww). The meat was okay but I don't think I got a piece of meat in each bite. The salad was flavorless, with oil and vinegar and TONS OF pepper. Service was good. Just very disappointing. I would say, it was the worst gyro I have ever eaten in comparison to the ones I have had. We didn't complain as it wasn't that they did anything bad, just didn't impress me with portions, flavor, or textures.
(2)Amy C.
This place has really flavorful food and a lot of it! Around $10 will get you soup, salad, pita and an entree. The vegetarian moussaka is my favorite and both times I've gotten it, I ended up taking home leftovers. There are plenty of vegetarian options on the menu, with lots for meat eaters, too.
(4)Friday N.
I can't say enough great things about this place. Every time I come here, I am greeted like a guest in someone's home. The staff is fantastic. I have dietary restrictions, and the whole staff does a great job accommodating me, even whipping up something special just for me! It really feels like eating at a friends house. It honestly might be the best customer service experience ive ever had. The potions are HUGE, I always have leftovers. The complimentary split pea and lentil soup is great. Love love love this place. Try the falafel or veggie combo!
(5)Joyce J.
This place definitely has the best Mediterranean food that I have had in Capital Hill. The lamb shawarma was marinated and seasoned perfectly. The lunch portion was generous for a under $10. The service was friendly. The environment was charming. I would definitely come again.
(4)Sarah D.
I was so excited to see this so close to Virginia Mason when I was stuck up on the hill for a week. I go to MK in Bellevue and the menu was similar so I thought initially it was another location. It turns out this location is run by the parents of the folks in Bellevue. They ran the one in Bellevue and then opened this one in Seattle. The selection in Bellevue is slightly larger. I was sad to see Spanakopita missing from the menu. Also, the food wasn't quite as garlicy and punchy as the one in Bellevue but the recipes must be very similar. It is more of a down home, casual lunch kinda place and a welcome change from the hospital food and fast food on Pill Hill.
(4)Ryan W.
Ordered a gyro lunch special and it wasn't bad. The meat had good seasoning, but the gyro itself was very small and on top of that, looked like a skinny "grilled stuffed burrito" from Taco bell. The pita was pressed like a panini - which didn't neccessarily take away from the sandwich, but I was expecting a full gyro with meat, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tahini sauce.. instead i had a few pieces of onions and two slices of tomatoes. It was sparse. I can't complain too much since it WAS a lunch special for 6-bux with fries... I always give a joint more than one chance, and next time, i'll try something else.
(2)Grace K.
This place is AMAZING. I work a few blocks away and had no idea they moved to the First Hill location. Walked there for lunch today and had the chicken schwarma. It was loaded with that de-freakin-licious rice, juicy chicken, and perfectly sauteed onion. The owners are friendly, and I have not a single bad thing to say about this place. At $8 per plate, it is reasonably priced and some of the best food in the area. I intend on going back (regularly) and would like to also try the gyros and the farmer's plate. It's been just 3 hours since I was there, but I am already looking forward to the next visit. YUM!!!!!!!!
(5)Juan and Claudia V.
This place is damn good AND FOR ITS PRICE makes it a solid 5! The owners are extremely nice and generous. They go above and beyond that makes you feel like if you were eating in their home kitchen table. To start off they served the Lentil Soup which is a signature mediterrenean food. Delicious and I am not a fan of soup. We ordered as appetizers the hummus and Baba Kanoush...both delicious! As entrees we ordered Beef Shawarma and combination Kabob. The former is more delicious but both are extremely good. The rice is phenomenal. God I'm salivating just thinking about it. To compare with Petra Mediterrenean its difficult to compare but overall for the price of this one (and hospitality of the owners), so far this is the best Middle Eastern/Mediterrenean place we've gone to in the state of Washington. Petra is more high end place to go to. Both really good in their respective ways. Definitely will be back!! ;)
(5)Howard C.
If you love garlic as I do, you will like this place.I love mom and pop, family run restaurants. The old couple are so friendly and inviting. The farmers plate is huge (i think 6+ wings) and tasty, as are the kebabs. The lentil soup, salad (such good dressing) and pita bread were great fillers for big appetites. They even gave us some baklava to end the meal.
(4)Alex S.
Simple good Mediterranean dishes here. I had the vegetable chicken plate. Wonderful.
(4)J J.
I love their Dajaj Mishwi. The chicken is fresh and the rice is incredible. The pita bread, the soup, and the small dessert that come with the meal are nice touches. They also sell bottles of salad dressing and no surprise, they are great too. If I could, I would eat their food every day. Many people have a place that does it for them. This is the one for me.
(5)Vi L.
The shawarma chicken has a pulled rather than a roasted texture. The garlic sauce is awesome with the rice (like in an addictive kind of way). The kofta is quite delicious. Food lies a little on the greasier side and service-wise, they aren't the speediest folks. All in all, I still like the place, the seasoning on the food is pretty good.
(4)Jim L.
Very tasty food. Got to love garlic though! I enjoyed their restaurant in Bellevue so was excited to see one in Seattle and was pleased with my meal.
(4)Tarah M.
I enjoyed my experience at the Mediterranean Kitchen. The owner was extremely friendly and gave us plenty of attention, considering we were the only customers inside the place on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I had their falafel which was bountiful, delicious, and perfect on top of a bed of lettuce, pickled veggies, and tomatoes. I wish that next time, I would have asked for the tzatziki sauce on the side because it drenched everything. Other than that, I enjoyed my dish very much. He had the lamb gyro which said was a-ok, but couldn't top Mr. Gyro's. His fries were naked with no feta, which made me disappointed, but I munched on them nonetheless. Great bonus was that we received free generous bites of baklava for dessert. They deserve an extra star just for that! Solid place for delicious and reasonably priced Mediterranean food.
(4)Nakia K.
The food was absolutely delicious. I had the lentil soup and falafel. The falafel was hot, crisp and not oily. The restaurant is pretty small, so it would be a good idea to call ahead if you have a group larger than 4. Also, there weren't any high chairs.
(4)Char H.
Amazing, quality food and the price makes it a screaming good deal. Family-owned and operated with lots of years experience in the restaurant business. My favorite place on First Hill. Tucked two doors down from The Hideout. The couple is so sweet. My fave is the Chricken Veggie Plate...you get lentil soup, pita, small salad, baklava, and a massive portion of veggies and chicken over rice all for barely $10. Tip well here...they totally deserve it. I tip for takeout, too...only a ten minute wait and I came in during dinner today!
(5)T L.
Led astray by Yelp! Astoundingly mediocre Gyro-ery. No sign of any free baklava or lentil soup. My lunch-associate replaced french-fries with a salad, which arrived looking like the Greek economy, sparse and in dire straits, with, perhaps, 5 iceberg lettuce shrivelets and 1 withered cucumber circlet. My $6 gyro was not pleasingly plump, but slim, like a 711 frozen burrito and was wrapped in tough, stale pita bread, which was like gnawing on soft-shoe-leather. Accompanying the un-fresh gyro meat was lettuce-gone-brown-on-the-edges and still-partially-frozen french-fries. Atmosphere is bleak, to the point where we felt like we were in trouble or someone died in the back. Terrible waste of a lunch meal ran us $15 for 2 gyro-wrapped sandwiches. Sad snack-times.
(2)Chelsy C.
Well, this is now my favorite Mediterranean place. I had the Garlic Wings and it was a mind bending experience. These are far and away the best non-hot wings I've had!!!! Try the "Farmers Plate": bowl of tangy lentil soup, small lettuce salad and mind-blowing garlic wings over saffron rice accompanied with pita and your choice of baba ganouj or hommus (I like the baba). You will not be disappointed. Why only a four star? They still need to fix the bloody door closer- damn it's cold in there.
(4)M B.
Great food - reasonable prices - friendly owners. What more could you ask for?
(4)Kirby M.
I love this place for a lot of reasons. It's really inexpensive, fast, and close to my work. Oh, and it's freaking delicious. You can't go wrong with any of the menu items. And the little chunk of delicious baklava that they send you off with? Amazing.
(4)Natalie G.
Went for dinner. Each entree comes with soup, salad, and bread. The garlic dressing was very good on the salad, I was not a fan of the soup though. My main course was very good, and was a huge portion, so much food I could only eat half so had leftovers for lunch the next day. Also the price for how much food you get is very cheap around $12.
(4)Denny M.
Fabulous Mediterranean food! Glad to have found them after so long. Love the Chicken Schwarma and the garlic dressing for the salad! Great falfel and lentil soup as well. Great service - even tossed in a piece of baklava when the family was there. Give it a try!
(5)Zoe N.
The whole menu is delicious and the portions are huge. It is family run, and the whole family this really nice and they have GREAT backlava! Parking can be tricky on this block, but there is a huge parking lot that is about to open behind the alley... just don't park in the apartment building lot next door-- they tow!
(5)Taleah M.
I found this place through yelp, & I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend Mediterranean Kitchen to anyone who is hungry & looking for good food on a budget! walking in to this tiny & clean little place you won't find to much going on but you sure will smell it..garlic being a staple. The portions are large & flavorful a husband & wife full of personality run the show & automatically start u off with there house made soup. The food is simple & fresh but the flavors intricate and bold! This is not fancy Mediterranean food but down home cooking done right!! I highly recommend the chicken tawook! Omg that sauce was divine! The hummus was also delicious very bold and a little thicker than the store bought stuff you might be used to to but delicious! I should mention the soup is free & so is the Baklava you get for dessert!!
(4)Ed S.
This place is OK, I was hoping for better based on the reviews. Lentil soup was good, bread was OK, could be warm. Chicken Shawarma was OK, huge portion. Should have ordered yogurt on the side. Nice that the baklava was included. Service was good.
(3)Nicole S.
Favorite place to eat Mediterranean food! Absolutely love the food here!
(5)Elena M.
:--D See that happy face? That was me when I happened to be on First Hill one day last week and noticed a new location of the Mediterranean Kitchen has just opened there. I was a HUGE fan of the old Roy Street location and so was thrilled to learn the Mediterranean Kitchen lives again in Seattle -- even closer to my house! I was not able to stop in at that time, but made a point of going back first chance I had -- which turned out to be yesterday for lunch. I had an appointment nearby and stopped in when I was done. I got there at exactly 11:30. I was the first one there, but I suspected I would not be the last. I was right. By the time I was half-way through my lunch the place was nearly full. (This is a good thing as I REALLY want this place to succeed and stick around.) I ordered the shish tawook and was in Mediterranean heaven. This was a generous serving of tender chicken infused with amazing flavors and served over rice with a side of very yummy hummus and some pita bread. A cup of their amazing lentil soup preceded the meal and a complimentary piece of baklava ended it. I probably should have eaten less; I could have eaten more. Service was friendly and amazingly efficient in the midst of the lunch hour rush. Prices are reasonable. I would be making up reasons to go back to First Hill at lunch time even if the good folks at the Mediterranean Kitchen had not given me a "buy 10 lunches, get one free" punch card. But, they did.
(4)Myrna N.
One of the most hospitable, familial and down-to-earth restaurants in Seattle. Delicious lamb schwarma, couscous, soup, tea. Everything slows down here. I feel like I'm at my grandparents' house. Highly recommend!
(5)Nicole M.
Went last night for dinner. Our experience echoes several reviews from others. Delicious food, great value, generous portions, super nice owners. The place seemed slow for a Sat, which is too bad, because this place is excellent. I think they've applied for a beer & wine license. I imagine that will help. This restaurant used to be in lower Queen Anne near Seattle Center (on Roy St, a couple of blocks east of McMenimans), but they closed that location about 5 yrs ago. Glad they're back, and now much closer to my house!! We'll definitely be back.
(5)L.R. N.
Absolutely delicious. I keep it boring and get the falafel nearly every time, but it's always great. I also got the Algerian chicken at some point. It was huge! Easily two meals. Not to mention the salad, lentil soup, and baklava. Really good prices, nice owners, great food. It's family owned, too, and it's always nice to support small local businesses.
(5)Theresa G.
This place is delicious, very reasonably priced, and the service is friendly and quick. The soup of the day was lentil, which was very tasty, and vegetarian. The hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves were are absolutely delicious as was the rice. The chicken shwarma dish was equally tasty and huge, which made for a great meal the next day. Another plus is that while the space is small, there is ample seating and it doesn't feel cramped at all.
(4)Jill S.
I've been here several times and have tried a variety of menu items. All are good. Service is prompt and the food is good--especially if you love garlic. I like the side salad which comes ice cold, free of dressing. There is a bottle of vinagrette on the table so you're free to use as much or as little to your taste. On multiple occasions, my lunch partners have ordered items that didn't come with soup or salad, and soup was provided to them anyway. It's a nice touch. I do have a couple of small critiques about two food items: the dolmades are pretty heavy on the mint; a bit too much for my liking. And the baklava has a strong rosewater (or other flowery flavor) that is so overpowering, I never touch it. Other than that, however, this is a great lunch spot.
(4)Alan W.
Awesome food, friendly staff!
(4)Peter K.
Excellent food and friendly owner. I had the kabob combo and it was really tasty. Come check this place out!
(5)R J.
Wow. This place has just made my YEAR! Expectations exceeded by more than I thought possible! Really delicious bright flavors. Not heavy/greasy, just super fresh, light, healthy, delicious Greek food. I've got some serious garlic breath! The sampler plate is a must - fried cauliflower with the falafel, excellent tabbouleh and dolmas. Free lentil soup when we sat down and free baklava bites with the check. Obviously a family-run operation so I feel even better about shoveling my money at them for their delicious food and friendly service. Definitely one to add into frequent rotation!
(5)Ben K.
Food: 5 stars. A+. I will claim this is the best Mediterranean food I have had in the city. Service and Priorities: 1 star. While my group thoroughly enjoyed the food we were served, I left the restaurant feeling extremely disappointed. While the server was attentive and helpful and brought us our soup, drinks, and pitas promptly, the way food was sent out from the kitchen was poorly executed and left me feeling neglected and under-served. Our entrees took an inordinately long time to arrive and while I can understand the kitchen being busy and backed-up (I've worked in the restaurant industries in the past), Mediterranean Kitchen seemed to place a high priority on its to-go orders and regular customers in the restaurant. After ordering, waiting for 10-15 minutes, and then watching as a couple (who had obviously been there before and had arrived 15-20 minutes after us) received their entrees, I began to get frustrated. My frustration continued as food continued to come out of the kitchen in styrofoam containers and bags, only to sit on the counter while we sat and waited. Finally 3 of our 4 entrees arrived and as we politely waited for the fourth, I saw it get plated and then set on the counter as both the cook and his wife attended to a to-go order pickup (an obvious regular based on their demeanor). And we continued to wait...and wait...and wait. While I understand taking care of those regulars who may keep you in business, I can also see the benefit in taking care of those customers who may become regulars. Mediterranean Kitchen, please reevaluate your priorities and make the effort to capitalize on the great food you serve by producing regulars out of newcomers. While I want to return and enjoy that Lamb Shawarma again, I'm not likely to do so if I'm treated as an afterthought.
(3)Chet F.
Lamb schwarma during lunch was pretty good. Nothing to get me super excited and needing to come back immediately, but a great place to have on first hill.
(3)Kelly B.
This is by far the best food on first hill. Its affordable, tasty, easy to walk to, and the wait staff are always nice. I stumbled on this by accident one day - its just a little off Madison on Boren. Its small and tucked away from the main sights on Madison. When we opened the door, i thought i had died and gone to heaven. The smells alone hooked me. Now its pretty much the only place i will go.
(5)Zaher H.
Legit Lebanese food that reminds me of home.
(4)Dane R.
The food is delicious and the owners are very warm and friendly. The prices are very reasonable.
(4)Eddie H.
I wasn't sure at first, then the husband and wife team provided great homestyle service, great chicken swarma and a cool piece of baklava at the end. Great and affordable!
