I came here for lunch. I was looking for Persian food and found this place on Google Maps. The…read morepictures looked kind of similar to Iranian food, so I decided to give it a try. My husband and I ordered a few dishes. The ingredients seemed decent, but the rice had no salt at all, and the kebab wasn't tasty. The garnish on the plate wasn't prepared well either big chunks of onion, cucumber, and tomato, not nicely cut. The stew also didn't have much flavor and wasn't good. Honestly, when food isn't seasoned properly from the start, adding salt later doesn't fix it. We didn't enjoy our meal. Also, we tried calling the servers (both the guy and the lady), but they didn't respond. In the end, my husband had to get up and ask for bread. They still forgot, and near the end of our meal the waitress walked by and said, Oh, you wanted bread?

I ended up not eating the rice, because putting the chicken on the bread and using the sauces that came with the chicken was just too good. I got their house tea and it was really great. This place just opened up, and I highly recommend giving it a go.

The chicken was so well marinated with spices - definitely one of the best I have had. The wrap with lettuce tomato and delicious orange chicken was my fav.

Highly recommend this spot and I cannot wait to try their other menu items.

I'm very glad I did. I ordered the Gyro sandwich and regular fries via an app. When I arrived, I found a comfortable space with ample seating, clean and well lit. I was greeted immediately and my order was brought out shortly after. When I got home and unpacked everything, I was immediately impressed. The gyro was full of fresh toppings but not overly smothered in sauce and the fries were plentiful and well seasoned. I was very pleased. Based on this experience, I'll absolutely be back soon.

I ordered the lamb shawarma plate, and although it was the most expensive priced, it was money well spent. I had enough food from that one order to split into two meals that both filled me up... their rice was amazing, the lamb tasted clean and fresh, and their bread was perfectly chewy and soft. They are not a huge establishment but do have indoor and outdoor seating as weather allows. Great vibe, friendly staff, and well worth trying if you haven't already I will definitely be back to try more of their menu and update my review.

Overall, we recommend!

I'm glad they've survived peak pandemic as it is a fixture of this community. Hands down my fav Chicken Shawarma plate in the city. The chicken itself is a flavor ride but what really makes it a home run is the soft flavorful rice. It's enough for two meals but it's so hard to hold myself back. I've eaten in, take out, and had it delivered - always excellent presentation and portion (but I swear when I go in person to eat or pick up they offer me a small cup of lentil soup while I wait.) Not into meat? Do not miss out on their falafel- also fantastically fresh and crunchy- they even offer it as a burger which I recommend.

The flavors were thoughtful and really well executed, and honestly the pricing felt fair--which is saying something in Seattle right now. But... would I stand in the rain at 5pm on a Wednesday again? No. They don't take reservations, and it feels pretty clear why--everything runs like a well-oiled machine designed for quick turnover. Normally I wouldn't mind efficient service, but this crossed into feeling rushed. Our bill was dropped while we were still eating, just about an hour in, and the vibe quickly shifted to "thanks for coming, time to wrap it up." Would I go back? Yes--if someone else wanted to go. But I'd only do it right when they open. Waiting in line just to feel hurried through dinner isn't worth it. Overall, great food, but the vibe, service pacing, and no-reservation model really shape the experience.
