    HUMMUS BASAR
    Cortney C.

    So good! Very high quality, great vibes, very fast, fair price and a great menu. So glad to have a place for warm hummus and Gold Star nearby!! Toda raba!!

    Malabi... So good
    Pradnya B.

    This place is a killer!!! Amazing food! Any hummus plate, sabich and malabi is hands down a must have! The service is pretty standard. They are nice to accommodate a split sandwich every time I go there. This is on my list of top restaurants. The hummus is so so so insatiable delicious. Every hummus I eat else where feels like a paste to me after I ate here. The salads are exceptional too. I couldnt help but make those yummy sounds. Mmmmm. Keep it up and don't change the quality. Something to watch out is their automatic service fee.

    Ohhh YESSSS to Aviv!!! Wowwzaaa! This Israeli hummus bar really hit the spot. I got the hummus basar (shawarma spiced ground beef topped with toasted pine nuts) and pita with 2 falafels, and my friend got the falafel pita. The hummus was beyond fresh and delicious, and the pita was doughy, thick, and fluffy to perfection. Truly no notes about taste. Once I'd finished the pita, I found myself wanting more of the hummus but no vessel to eat it with. I wish they had some veggies or something to dip in the hummus without having to consume more pita. But if my main complaint is that I wanted to eat more of it, I think that's a good problem to have. The falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, so good! We sat up on the barstools and the service was pretty quick after ordering.

    I don't know what these folks are doing to these chickpeas to produce the creamiest, most delicious hummus, but I will keep coming back. Today I sat at the bar near closing on a Tuesday afternoon and watched as the chef prepared combinations of the namesake hummus, fresh falafel balls, fried eggplant slices, marinated boiled eggs, and spreads. A customer was cozily working in their journal with a cleaned bowl of hummus on the table behind me. My sabich (eggplant) pita sandwich, which pocketed a little of nearly everything into a pillowy pita and topped with a complimentary falafel, packed so much flavor. The sabich slices literally melt in your mouth. I took 8-ounce containers of hummus and halva home that I will happily spoon through and top on everything all week.

    HUMMUS CLASSIC MASABACHA

    Came here for dinner it was our first time having hummus as an entree. We ordered: - Classic hummus bowl: very smooth but a bit on the bland side. Pairs nicely with the spicy garlic lemon sauce but you have to pay extra for it. - Masabacha: hummus but less finely blended. I liked the texture of this one better but I had to get the pickles on the side bc the flavor and texture got a little monotonous. The pickles and the sauce are an extra charge be warned. I also had excellent bowel movements after this meal haha. The service is pretty quick but be warned that there is an automatic gratuity added to your bill.

    Absolutely delicious!! I was staying in SLU for a night and looking for some food to order and I found this on uber eats. This meal was delicious. I got a sparkling water and a gyro and fries and the food was so fresh and delicious. The meat was well spiced and I loved all the toppings. The fries were really good and the sauce they came with was great. A great spot and I imagine that in person sitting in the restaurant this would be even better. 10/10

    I went to Aviv a couple of times before but that was a while back. A lot has changed since then. shrinkflation is on full display at its finest They also charge a 10% service fee irrespective of the size of your party without any notice, There were a lot of empty tables and understandably so. I still give them 2 stars for their food quality. I wish they fix all these issues and restore the lost trust

    FALAFEL PLATE SABICH PLATE
    Eunice H.

    Hole in the wall place in Capitol Hill serving up great falafel, hummus, and pita. We came on for lunch on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised with the food. Pita was pillowy fluffy, hummus was smooth and well seasoned, falafel was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, very well seasoned. The eggplant was delicious as well, oily and rich. Service is minimal, order via QR code at the table. There is very limited seating so not good for large groups - mostly 4 person tables and a bar. Parking is a pain, it is Capitol Hill, and I would say the surrounding areas can be dicey, as Seattle is. Vibe is very casual. Maybe not the most baby/toddler friendly spot. Worth checking out for the pita and falafel!

    The food was quite good! They did have options with no sesame if you're allergic (no tahini or hummus) and they also had vegetarian and dairy free options too. The staff were very helpful while I was ordering with sorting all my allergens out! The space is small but bright and cute for a quick casual bite. We took our food to go and it was well packaged. Would definitely return!

    Hummus and eggplant
    Meralina M.

    This place is outstanding! From the amazingly flavorful falafel, the to the fluffy pita, and the perfect cauliflower, we were absolutely blown away. The limeade was also perfectly sweet and sour as well. Great portions, great prices, great flavors!! The staff was also incredibly nice and friendly, this is a favorite of ours now! (This place is in capital hill, so street meter parking only).

    Eggplant appetizer
    Naomi J.

    Probably my fifth time here, just as impressive as always, but they've added chicken to the menu! I was also really impressed with the eggplant. The best dish is the hummus wrap, especially when you add falafel (5/5 stars blow your mind good) or the chicken wrap (5/5 stars).

    Best food. Best service. The Hummus is out of this world. Take home is the best. Been there many times. Never disappointed.

    Just checking. Is the price justified for the food? How is this different from hummus and falafels served in other much less expensive Mediterranean places?

    Aviv serves Israeli food, whereas most of the other Mediterranean places I've eaten at in Seattle are Lebanese or Syrian. The pickles and bread are distinctive. The food is certainly higher quality than the cheap tier of Al Bacha or *ick* Garlic… Read more

Yalla is a walk up window, and there are just a couple of benches right outside where you can eat, and according to other reviews you can also go to Montana Bar next door with your food. The menu is posted in a couple places right next to the ordering window, and it's pretty easy to parse. Almost everything there is what I'd consider a "portable food", meaning something you don't need a plate, fork, and knife to eat, which makes sense given that it's not a sit down restaurant. They have veggie saj, meaty saj, mezze, a few sides, and a dessert. I really like their concise menu. We tried the baba ghanoush ($9.5), which comes with saj on the side, a batinjan and labneh saj wrap ($12), and a halloumi grilled cheese (halloumi grilled inside saj, $13). As you can tell, the saj underpins everything at Yalla, and their saj is excellent. Warm, soft, flaky, and tearable, it is perfect for both dipping and wrapping and grilling. The batinjan and labneh wrap is bursting (literally) with tender grilled eggplant, a rich sauce, and tangy, creamy labneh. It is truly one of the most delicious eggplant dishes I've ever had. The halloumi grilled cheese definitely hits the spot, and is more filling than you think by looking at it. Baba ghanoush is so smooth and flavorful, and I love the pomegranate seeds on top! The folks who work there are super nice, very friendly, and food comes out quickly. Prices are very reasonable, and I will definitely be back to try some of their meaty saj! This place is going into my regular rotation, for sure.

This…read morewas exciting to me as I enjoy food from the Middle Eastern part of the world, and the entrees do look very enticing! We went on a Saturday around 2pm and it wasn't too busy at the takeout window. The restaurant is only takeout - there are benches right next to the takeout window, but there are only enough spots for 8 - 12 people (2-3 people per bench). The only other seating is at the nearby street seating offered by the neighboring bars, which I can see being restricted during peak hours. Parking can be very difficult if you plan on driving, there is only street side parking that is usually full, and nearby paid parking in lots. Service is fast, after we got our order, we only waited 5-8 minutes for our food. We got their recommended Soujouk (Beef) and Cheese Wrap for $16. The wrap is long, I would say about 13 - 14 inches long, and I can definitely seeing most people getting full after enjoying one of these. The flavors are nice and you can taste the spices from the sausage - I could taste cinnamon front and center with other earthy spices lingering in an aftertaste. The wrap is very decadent, the cheese is hearty and indulgent and that with the spiced sausage and textural difference with the cucumbers is pleasing. Do note with how indulgent this wrap is, you will accumulate a ton of oil in your wrapper as you enjoy it - a nap afterwards is in your future if you eat a whole wrap! I think that Yalla Seattle is a good stop to try these cuisines in a casual manner and the price is reasonable. There are some other items on the menu that kept my attention and I would totally revisit to try the other items offered by this restaurant.
