Downtown Seattle's Best Halal Spot!
My experience at this restaurant was simply lovely. The owner has surely held his title firmly as Downtown Seattle's best halal spot by a long shot. The owner was nice and friendly, and the wait time was quick.
We tried the Shawarma Platter, Shish Tawook Platter, and Falafel wrap. They absolutely tantalized my taste buds; the spices were on point with a slight hint of pepper. It was genuinely some of the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had.
I would highly recommend it, and to then walk down to the waterfront and have a bite there – absolute peak.

Amazing Food, Go-To Spot!
This is my go-to place anytime I'm up in Seattle for a concert at the Showbox. Due to nerve damage from a surgery, I have very limited taste now. But every meal I've had here tastes amazing.
I can't taste meat, so I get the falafel plate and it's always great.

Closed Restaurant, Unrefunded Payment
I have no idea what the food is like because I was unable to try it. I attempted to visit this restaurant a few weeks ago. I paid for my food online and went to pick it up, only to find that they were closed.
I would still like to try their food, but they do not update their hours. To make matters worse, I still haven't seen my refund.

Great Food, Clean and Reasonably Priced
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed a lot of great dishes on the menu, particularly the falafel and hummus dish. The place itself is clean and reasonably priced.
The atmosphere and service were excellent, with no wait time and a quiet environment perfect for conversation.

Delicious Lamb Shish Kabobs Saved My Day!
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly positive, especially considering the circumstances. I was transferring from the light rail to the bus in pouring rain, completely soaked. Needing to use the restroom, I ducked into Pike Place Market.
I was also hungry as I hadn't eaten all day, and most places were closed the night before a holiday. This little hole-in-the-wall place was a lifesaver! I had the most delicious lamb shish kabobs ever, served with rice, salad, and hummus.
It was such a relief to be eating delicious food in a warm place while the rain poured outside. I had the entire place to myself, making it a truly wonderful and grateful experience.

Delicious Falafel and Baba Ganoush!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had one of the best falafel I've ever tasted. It was served hot, fresh, and crispy.
I particularly loved the spicy sauce, which had a really nice kick and great flavor. The pita was wonderfully soft, and the baba ganoush was incredibly tasty. I'm already tempted to come back for a post-dinner snack!

Gyro Sandwich Not What I Expected
My experience at the restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the gyro sandwich, which was presented as a wrap rather than the traditional pita bread. This was a tad disappointing, although the contents themselves were good.

Exceptional Mediterranean Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. The beef shawarma plate was particularly delicious, and the baklava was a perfect sweet ending.
The atmosphere and service both received a perfect score of 5, contributing to a wonderful dinner.

Authentic and Delicious Chicken Shawarma!
Rushing to get out of Pike Place for a concert, I was enamoured by the smell. I stopped in on a whim and ordered the chicken shawarma, and was delighted by this scrumptious food. The spices, flavor, and texture were all there.
The prices are a little high until you realize how big the portion actually is; we shared one plate with two people and were the perfect amount of full. The location is convenient and the seating is intimate. The only thing missing from this delicious meal was some flatbread.
I had some leftovers and came back for seconds at midnight. 😂😋 For everyone complaining about the spice level: it's spicy because it's authentic and tasty. If you don't like flavor, don't eat here.
