    This continues to be super tasty every time I go as well as high-quality. And everyone that works there is just so friendly Today I got a order to go for the first time and it was great. Just as good when I eat there which is not always the case with restaurants Here is a photo of the chicken kebab order to go

    Ordered Bibi's for an office catering event and they impressed all 70 hungry employees! She whipped up a custom menu that fit our budget perfectly, with options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and omnivores. Communication? Lightning fast. Service? Above and beyond. The food was a hit--delicious, beautifully presented, and neatly packaged. Her team even helped set up, serve, and clean up. The spread had something for everyone: beef, chicken, whole salmon, kebabs, rice, salads, hummus, grilled veggies, pita, and more. No one left hungry, and we had plenty of leftovers. People couldn't stop raving about it (many had second plates and many also took some food home). If you're looking for top-notch catering, Bibi's offers a variety of menu options and she will work with whatever budget that you give her. The kebobs were probably the favorites amongst the group and the whole salmon was impressive! Everyone was amazed at the presentation and the flavor.

    There are seemingly numerous Mediterranean and Middle East restaurants in the greater Kirkland area. BiBi is one of the few sit down restaurants that I have neglected for over a decade because they close fairly early, 7pm on Tue - Sat and 6pm on Sun. The reviews suggest they have a sizable focus on catering; good for them for having volume businesses. We met up with friends on a Sat at 5:30pm. The five of us occupied one of their two larger tables. The restaurant itself is sparsely decorated. Our orders were taken in a timely manner, and the entrees came out in stages, not all at once. I suspect it is limited staff in the kitchen. Our server seems junior. She insisted on handing food down from one end and have each of us touch and pass the plates down the length of the table. Somehow, she lacked the skill to put plates down between people. It was odd. Promptly at 7pm, they told us they are closed now and basically asked us to leave. I guess I don't hate it; it just feels uncomfortable. We stood outside and finished chatting. The Food: Roasted Cauliflowers, $14 - 5 Stars Menu: Roasted Cauliflower with herbs, sumac, zaatar, and tahini sauce Oh my, this is the BEST roasted cauliflower dish. I have had many. This IS the BEST. Marinated Olives, $12.50 - 4.5 Stars These are house marinated. They are great for sharing. BiBi Bowl with Lamb, $23 - 5+ Stars My eyes lighted up with the wonderfully fresh veggies of arugula, peppers, etc. The hummus is fantastic. The lamb is wonderfully tender. This dish is perfection. P.S. When dining Mediterranean, order lamb; they cook it better than most other proteins. Grilled Beef Tenderloin Kabob, 8 oz, $28 - 4 Stars This dish is protein, veggies, and rice. Everything looks wonderful visually. The beef is a bit overcooked, a bit tough. Very unfortunate for an expensive cut of meat. But the rest of the dish is good.

    lamb chop is good and the size is huge for the price

    I have been wanting to try this fairy new restaurant for some time now and I am very much glad I did. I was greeted by a young waiter and who told me I could sit wherever I like. The restaurant was very pleasant and clean. They use modern and very nice looking funiture. I noticed the waiter was being sure to make everything cleaned and sanitized after the customers have left, very good. I started with their BiBi Ganoosh and it was very delicious. I liked the fact that they did not additional salt which made it more enjoyable. However, you have the option to add addition salt, pepper and other spices to your dish. They have a separate table specifically for you to add spices, I love that and how convenient is that! I have to admit, since I am more of a savory person, I needed to add more salt to my Ganoosh, it really stepped it up, at least for my taste. ;) The main course I ordered the Oregon Beef Tenderloin Kabob. This was a game changer, the beef was seasoned with some wonderful spices and it was so delicious. The grilled tomatos, red onions and orange pepper was full of flavor as well. Everything just tasted really fresh and homemade as it should be. The waiter was super polite and gave me these dish suggestions. Even though he told me that his a big lamb fan, he helped me to go with the beef tenderloin kabob since I love beef. I definitely plan to come back here and to bring my family, so we can explore all their other wonderful dishes. Head over there and check them out! Enjoy!

    We came here for a quick lunch bite and it was so good! The Labneh starter was refreshing and so tasty with hot pita. The Bibi bowl was filling, full of protein and delish with the roasted vegetables.

    I used Bibi's catering service for a work event for the first time, and I was very impressed with flexibility of options, quality of food, and the flavors! I ordered a combination of Mediterranean and Persian food, which included vegetarian and some vegan dishes. The variety and quality of dishes exceeded expectations and everyone found something they loved! My only suggestion is to label the containers or simply write down what's inside with a sharpie so it's easier to know what's inside and which ones to open. I received so many complements from the guests who attended the event. Highly recommend using Bibi for catering your next event!

    Eggplant and tomato dip--delicious
    April S.

    We happened here for a fresh and delicious medi meal and were delighted to find some new flavor blends and large portion plates. We ordered from the menu stuck on the table and had all of our food in what seemed like 5 minutes! The falafel were at least as good as my once fave place and the cauliflower is baked, not fried, so the meal feels generally healthier. The tahini sauce is well balanced between the garlic and sesame flavor and thankfully offers some flavor for the rice. The eggplant tomato dip is very smoked paprika-tasting, I do wonder if it's possible to have it not blended--I love roasted eggplant and tomatoes so much! The rice is tender and the roasted vegetables were chef's kiss perfection, namely the baby peppers!! The staff was very friendly, full of smiles and help navigating the space. The only strange thing was we ordered the cardamom pistachio cake and they gave us a cellophane-wrapped chocolate pound (looking) cake that didn't have much flavor or moisture, nor the cardamom or pistachios. I didn't address it because we didn't eat it until we got home to learn the flavors were missing. The space feels like half pantry, half kitchen extension in someone's home. It's very well lit and clean and we will be back for sure!

    Bella Balducci's is a wonderful addition to the food in in Kirkland - I personally haven't had this…read morestyle of Mediterranean food before, so it was a unique experience for me! I have been to Bella Balducci's twice at the time of this review, and would definitely go back. Went around lunchtime for both visits and there was no wait time to get a table each time. Parking for the restaurant is easy - there are plenty of parking spaces in the front of the restaurant as it is located in a small shopping plaza. The dining area is small and cozy, I would say probably 3 middle tables and 6-8 side booths. Service was fast, we got all of our food in 15 minutes. Out of the items on the menu, I'll review the Soltani Platter ($28) which I got multiple times. The platter itself comes with a simple salad with olives and dressing - they do go a little bit heavier on the dressing for my personal preference, but it is tasty and sets up as a nice appetizer for the main entree. The is a sizable platter with minced beef kabob and marinated steak - I would say enough to feed two people comfortably. There is a whole half raw onion, which I haven't seen before, that you use to help cut through the fat and richness of the meats. The meats are very flavorful and tender and super enjoyable to eat. The flatbread they give you with the platter is very thin, but serves as a great vehicle to transport the meat and herbs. The interesting thing is, there is no sauce or dip like tzatziki or baba ganoush to hide behind, so the full glory of the meat is the only thing you will experience. I think that Bella Balducci is refreshing restaurant to experience in the Kirkland area, and that I would totally come back to try the other options on the menu. For the price, quality, and quantity, you can definitely feed multiple people with enough exciting options to try!

I stopped in Jasmine Kitchen fresh off an airplane and WOW. First it was around 3pm, which is dead time for most restaurants. The two men could not have been nicer and my food was fresh and amazing in a clean and cool environment. Even the bathrooms were clean and nice (which is a huge element to the overall experience). Service was great too, even with two men. I order a kofta kebab plate which came with saffron rice and great pita and a small salad and a garlic sauce that would be amazing on a leather boot. I also had the walnut baklava which was about the best I've ever had. The flavors were all spot on - juicy and tender and wonderful - every bite of the whole meal. In fact I was tempted to get the whole thing again. But decided to wait until the VERY next time I'm in town.

The service was super quick and the flavor and quality of ingredients are excellent. The price is reasonable at $16.99 and the portion is generous. They ask if you want to dine in or take out but they are both served in a to-go container with the only difference being you either get a bag or a tray. :) One improvement suggestion would be to provide sriracha hot sauce as many other similar businesses do. Overall I recommend this place for an affordable, delicious, quick meal with no frills.

This new restaurant is a little off the beaten path for the typical walkers but right across from Sur La Table with an overall great location.

The center area hosted a huge group with multiple tables pushed together. I have avoided Zeitoon all these years because they are higher cost, not necessarily justifiable since there are lower cost Persian foods or similar Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I finally decided to try them. Our server answered my questions, including his favorites. Two questionable/sketchy things happened: 1. Our server recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, which he said is great with the optional soft-boiled egg. Sounds good. We ordered it. The optional egg is $2, which is not identified on the menu. (See photo) 2. When he recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, we asked him to remove the Mast O Khiar which we initially chose. I said we only want one appetizer. He nodded and said OK. When the Mirza Ghasemi arrived, so did the Mast O Khiar. They put both on the table and immediately left. I flagged the original server to remind him we said to remove it, but a different person showed up instead. He: "You want to cancel this? No problem." and took the yogurt away. I did not order this; it is not me canceling. Minus 0.5 stars from overall rating. The Food: Mirza Ghasemi + egg, $14 +$2 - 2.5 Stars This eggplant dish is the one recommended by our server. We do enjoy eggplant dips, especially warm versions. The optional "soft boiled egg" is not an American version but tiny threads of yellow egg bits mixed within the eggplant mixture. Honestly, we cannot taste the egg. It is borderline a scam. This dish would be 3.5 stars if it was $14 at the menu price, which is already on the high side. A $16 eggplant dish is delusional. Lamb Shishlik Kebab, $36 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Lamb rack marinated and chargrilled (see menu photo) I knew I would not see a rack of lamb on my plate. I got four lamb chops. Meat quality wise, this is excellent. It comes with a ton of basmati rice and a salad with a refreshing light dressing. This is a bit spendy for the quantity of meat, but taste is good. Soltani Shishlik, $42 - 3.5 Stars This is the exact same dish as above except add a skewer of grounded beef kebab. This kebab, and I quote my hubby, is "not that good". Same comment for the rest of the dish. A basket of lavash bread arrived at the table. I believe it came with the Mirza Ghasemi. We have eaten many lavash breads, commonly used as wrap so it is grilled and/or heat-pressed with oil on the surface. These lavash breads are simply warmed. I learned they taste terrible that way. The surface has a sandpaper texture and still taste like sandpaper when eating it. If I paid for this separately, I would be upset.
