The food here is amazing. We had the Muhamarra starter and could taste the freshness of spices/peppers/dill. Main course was delightful with Lahori Dal and Paneer Handi. The curries were fresh, and authentic , you could taste the veggies n spices in every bite. The service is great, and the owner is friendly. read more

The most delicious middle eastern/south Asian food I've had in Seattle. We were blown away by how amazing everything tasted and on top of that, we were kindly gifted a dessert which was also incredible. Highly recommend this place - don't debate it, just go! read more

The food is delicious. Nice family atmosphere. Mediterranean food and some Indian dishes. I would definitely come back again.

I look up to their menu online, like the prices posted. I made the call for two small dishes bill came about over $41 bucks, asked lady about it, she said those prices were applicable ten years ago. And after that she laughed, I said why don't you guys not updating your menu and confusing a customer. Not a customer friendly place, very rude and disrespectful. read more

A gem hidden in the woods. A small beautifully appointed restaurant that serves gourmet food from the Mediterranean region. I had the lamb Shish kebab this time and it was very tasty. Topped by very courteous service and I will continue to patronize this establishment. read more

Unbelievably delicious food and friendly service. We fell in love with this place during COVID while getting take out. We have since moved to dining indoors and love it even more. Owner is very friendly and attentive. Love love love. read more

Even though it's quite far from where I live this place is worth the drive!! We ordered doogh, masala chai, Beef nihari, naan's (too good) and lamb kebabs! Everything was delish! Definitely recommend this place and would return here with friends and family next time for sure!! read more

The food is delicious and authentic, its a bit pricey , but you will get filled up for sure. Love it.

Delicious! Rough on the outside, but beautiful on the inside. Wonderful ambiance and service. I had beef kabob that was very tasty. Daughter had pierogies (which she loved) and mango lassi. We had garlic naan (delicious) and a califlower soup. Definately would recommend. read more

Firdale Village, why are you so hidden? Why have I not been to Caravan Kebab earlier?? Okay, so it's really not that out of the way (just five minutes from Costco on Aurora), but I always forget about this quaint little area in South Edmonds. Caravan Kebab was renovated and revamped from a previous restaurant, Pomegranate. It is stellar. So excited to have Indian/Mediterranean food in the North end and not having to go all the way to Seattle every time I have a butter chicken or paneer craving. For my first visit, I took notes from other Yelpers and had the Saag Paneer, while my dad had the Daal Makhani, and we shared a Lamb Shish Sandwhich. All items, rich in complexity, came out piping hot and delicious. We may have over done it by sharing the sandwich, but it was well worth it and better than many gyro joints in the North end. I'll definitely be returning soon and bringing friends. read more

OK... really 3.5 for the food and 4.5 for the service. I can't figure this place out and if you don't now what you want to eat, come here. Persian, Indian and Russian food all on one menu. The menu is very well priced and the portions are quite good. We started with Saganaki (pan fried Kasir cheese and the fired table side) and Pakora (deep fried potatoes and onions). These starter were very good. My lamb kebab was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The rice was light and fluffy, but bland. The side veg was so overcooked, it was mush. My wife's chicken was a bit bland and overcooked for me, but that's how she likes it. Our friend got the special, basically a beef stew, that was OK. His wife had the winner of the evening, Shahi Korma. Chicken in a mix of curry spices and nuts. If I would have ordered this, the stars for food would have gone up. The people were very nice and attentive. I would go back to try more because I see a lot of potential. read more

Outstanding service. The best saag paneer I've ever eaten. Chef Shahzad comes out from the kitchen to greet and speak with you about his creations! Delightful array of entries from multiple cultures. Order the cardamon ice cream for dessert. It's heavenly. read more

This place is so delicious. Very flavorful. Lots of garlic. We shared the combo plate and lamb kabobs between two people and had leftovers. Nice cocktails too! read more

If Hestia and Annupurna were BFF and decided to open their own restaurant, it would be Caravan Kebab. Okay - so I've only gone once and only had their lamb shish sandwich, but the first bite sealed the deal. It was as if lamb tikka masala tangoed with a gyro. OMG amazing. The lady who greeted me and took my order was super nice and attentive. As I was leaving with my to-go order, she stopped me because she hadn't given me a napkin. It's the little things people! I wouldn't be surprised if they saw me tomorrow... read more

It must have been about a year and a half ago that I first discovered Caravan Kebab, because of a review. The restaurant is close by, and three of us decided to stop in for a lunch. Since that day, I have returned, normally for dinner, at least five times with different groups of friends. The food has been always good. I enjoy the eclectic menu which covers Eastern European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Indian. Sauces are exquisite, and the appetizers superb. It is a small space, but very cozy. None of us have ever had any complaints about service, and the owners who are normally present have always been attentive and pleasant. I give it a 5 star rating for service and taste. The dinners are well priced, too, allowing you to enjoy an appetizer or two. And for anyone not familiar with Eastern European food, try the cabbage rolls. read more

We stopped in for lunch when we were in the area and I was really surprised to find such a broad menu. I really didn't know what to expect when you hear that an Indian restaurant also serves Russian food but we decided to be adventurous. First - their food is halal, which is a big plus for my family. Second, their Kashmiri chai and indian curries were really spot on and delicious. The lunch portions were huge and just about every item was under $10. read more

This place is great. A bit spendy but check their website as they often post coupons like bogo deals. We love the lamb but what we really come here for is their salads! We always get the Persian salad - cranberry, pine nuts & pomegranate molasses? In a salad? Sign me up! We've had their pita with spread and it's very good. Their Samosas were a bit under cooked both times we had them so we stopped ordering them. The Munk Soup is killer and they can prepare paneer here like they invented the stuff. If you're looking for a good place with quality ingredients that has many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free offerings I would highly recommend these people. A few hiccups here and there with some items but overall I've never left not satisfied & I keep coming back so even when something goes wrong the rest more than makes up for a doughy samosa or over seasoned chicken tikka masala. read more

I really wanted to love Caravan Kebab. I live up the road, and have been looking forward to coming here for months after seeing that it was nearby on Yelp. A couple of moths ago, I ordered takeout from here- the Kashke Bademjan spread, pita, and the Horiataki salad. All were delicious and the perfect light dinner. Cut to today, my boyfriend and I decided it was about time we went in for a sit down meal. He ordered the Polish Dumplings, and I had the Falafel Sandwich. The restaurant was empty save for one woman finishing her meal, and our order was taken promptly. It took a while for the food to come out, which was okay because I assumed they were making everything fresh. When our food came out, the first thing I noticed was that the dumplings looked identical to the frozen store bought ones that I frequently buy for lazy night dinners in. They tasted good but I am 99.9% sure that they were not made in house, which is disappointing! And, he said they were slightly cold in the center. My sandwich was a letdown, to say the least. It was 75% dry, powdery falafel, with a few tomatoes and cucumbers, and the tiniest dash of tatziki and feta. The foil it came in was warm, but the falafel was not- it was definitely not made fresh, and was most likely microwaved. You'd think a middle eastern restaurant would excel at a dish like this, but they fell short by a long shot. I don't know that I will return, even for the spreads. I'm better off making all the above from scratch. read more

A hidden gem in Edmonds! Absolutely terrific Indian food but other choices on the menu as well. My Persian salad was so fresh and crisp with a terrific light dressing, olives, pomegranate seeds, feta, cucumbers and spinach. The butter chicken curry with basmati rice was the best I've ever had.Perfectly seasoned tender white chicken. A cozy quiet environment where you could actually relax and talk! Attentive professional staff as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went to this restaurant to see how it had changed from its days as Pomegranat, and also based on Nancy Leson's (Seattle Times and her blog) glowing recommendation. Arrived with two friends at about 6 p.m. on a Tuesday evening, and the place was packed, a much different experience from two previous visits to Pomegranat when we were the only diners! Ordered Chicken Boti, another friend ordered the Lamb Kabob and another ordered the Pomegranat Chicken. Dinner arrived about 35 minutes later, likely delayed by the full house and only one cook! I wanted to like my meal, having dined well in the previous restaurant. But my chicken, and also my friend's lamb, was cooked to the point of being dry. Side vegetables were overcooked and uninspiring. Rice was on the plain side, flavored by a bit of parsley. Folks at the table next to us asked us how we enjoyed our meal when they were leaving. They said they were very disappointed, having come on the strength of the good reviews. I will give Caravan Kebab one more try, perhaps at lunch, to see if they are just an early victim of their own success and if they can improve under different circumstances. read more

Having heard the menu here stretches from India through the Middle East to Eastern Europe, we stopped in here with my inlaws from Ukraine. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the range of the menu and the flavors was a big hit with everyone. My Ukrainian mother-in-law gave her approval to the borscht -- hearty and even a bit of potato in it -- and the perogies with potatoes and cheese were well-prepared as well. I had the Chicken Fesenjan, a spicy curry of chicken with pomegranate and walnuts in the mix -- sounds like a clash of flavors, but it worked and was rich and wonderful. For dessert we shared a couple orders of Kulfi, homemade ice cream, made with pistachios, rose water, and cardamon. This, too, was a big hit with everyone who loved the texture and the subtle mix of flavors. We really enjoyed the food and the gracious service. We will be back and I would happily recommend this to anyone, as you can find either familiar flavors or go on a culinary adventure here. So nice to find a neighborhood restaurant that is doing a unique range of food so well. read more

Meh... ever hear the saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none." Well here I think they hit it on head.. I wasn't keen about hitting this place up as it's gone through some changes recently and I think they are missing a beat or two. Once known as a Russian restaurant, the owner teamed up with a new partner and they have redeveloped the menu to carry a wide variety of flavors, from Greek saganaki, to East Indian curry and back full circle to Russian goulash. I opted for the pan seared young chicken, which was lacking in flavor and not fully cooked, far too red on the bone for me, and that "young" chicken looked a lot like Arkansas road kill to me, size-wise. Others in our party opted for Indian curries, they seemed to like their meal but having had to wait for such a long for our meals, I'd guess had they served frozen dinners we'd been happy. Service was nice, waters we filled but the kitchen was bogged down and from the time our starters were served to the time our meals were placed in front of us, it was just too long of a wait. Reports from others mention a great lunch menu, maybe we'll try that and I'll update after that...meh.... read more

OMG their food is GOOD. We stopped by for lunch because we were in the neighborhood. We'll definitely make the drive back soon even though we live 25 miles away. Everything we ordered was good. We had: 1) Cauliflower soup with white truffle oil, etc. It's so delicious I ordered a bowl to go for later. 2) Hummus (comes with pita*), 3) Kashmiri Chai (Hot Tea with Milk, Cardamom, Cinnamon & Fennel Seed), 4) Chicken Boti Kebab (White Meat Marinated in Yogurt, Garlic & Indian Spices (Pakistan)) 5) Baklava (Filo Layered with Walnuts, Honey & Cinnamon (Turkey)) 6) *The pita is very good. It tasted fresh, had a nice texture, and flavor. Better than what I'm used to in other Mediterranean restaurants where it's a bit thinner & not quite as fresh. Should have ordered some of this to go as well! I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Caravan Kebab - This cup of REALLY GOOD Cauliflower Soup was served on a plate with an indentation in it : ) !! - Indian Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Historically, I am a picky eater and breaking that habit is a perpetual exercise in breaking the familiar. So, I've been anxious to stop in and give them a try, based on other recommendations alone. Well, I finally made it over for lunch and I can confidently say that it was worth the wait! I had Daal Makhani and while I'm not the arbiter of Indian cuisine, it was fantastic! Very flavorful and delicious and well prepared. I must also commend the service because, it too was exceptional. To be fair, it wasn't busy so they were able to be very attentive to my needs. The owner, Shazid (apologies for the misspelling) and the female server (maybe his wife - I did not get her name) always had a smile on their face. I could tell that they were happy to have my business. They asked me to come back again; I said that I would and you should too! read more

Excellent food and customer service! My family loves caravan kabob we get taker out from C.K regularly.

We had a taste for Mediterranean food and found this place online. They have a pretty diverse menu including Indian food. Normally I would steer clear of places that have multi ethnic menus because in my experience they are usually subpar. This was not the case with teh Caravan. Everything we ordered, kebabs, naan, chicken tikka masala, daal soup, everything was delicious and flavorful. If you haven't tried this place you should really check it out. read more

Fantastic little gem in Edmonds. Location is hard to spot unless you are looking for it. The menu has its share of curries and standard mediterranean food, but also a lot of unique dishes I had never even heard of. I tried the Lebanese Muhamara(?) dip and pita, along with the Turkish panini. My husband had the beef kebab plate. Everything was so fresh, presented well and put together with care and attention to detail. The meat was so tender and seasoned to perfection. Every item we tried was fantastic. Looking forward to coming back and trying something else new! read more

I discovered this place a year ago. Love it. Your food is fresh and so colorful. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

I would eat at Caravan Kebab every day if I could. I am so glad we checked it out after driving by it for years. Their food is SO GOOD. I've never eaten at a restaurant where I wanted to try every single thing on the menu, or that maintained such consistently high quality over a range of cuisines. They nail it. We've so far had the lamb tagine, the arni aliada, a variety of the kebabs, and the saag. It's the best Indian and Mediterranean food I've had in the area and I'm looking forward to trying their European offerings. Second only to the food is their warm and impeccably gracious hospitality. They've done a great job with ambience, and it always feels like the host is serving us in his own home as our personal chef. I love how the portions are sized so there is always room for dessert if you want, and the prices are *really* reasonable. It's the only place of quality I know of where I can order an appetizer and a drink with dinner and not resent the cost. My one regret is that I let my teenagers try my leftovers, and then they ate them all. Lesson learned! read more

This is absolutely the most top notch, incredible food!!! Each and every dish was a winner! Obviously made FRESH. And without snobby, pretentious people. Superb! read more

I'm upgrading this to a 5-star review after a couple years because the food is just that good. I have never had a bad dish here and have been back many times. The flavors are just phenomenal and the staff are so sweet and friendly that even though it's a little slow sometimes, that's just something we factor into the experience. It's not a bad idea to sit back and relax for once! Our favorite dishes are the baba ganouj w/ pita, chicken kebab, chicken fesenjan, and vegetable biryani. read more

Visited this little gem this past weekend and we will go back. Great options for vegetarians like my bf as well as meateaters like me. The food was delicious, service friendly and quick, atmosphere welcoming and lovely. Highly recommended! read more

This place has great food. Everything is very authentic. My only complaint is they don't turn any heat on in the place and every time I've eaten in the restaurant I am freezing and wish I would have worn more clothes. Do yourself a favor and go during warmer weather. But if you love Mediterranean food this place is awsome. read more

5 stars without hesitation. We've lived in the neighborhood for two years and ate there tonight for the first time. Man, are we kicking ourselves for waiting so long to discover this little gem of a restaurant! Started off with a cup of borscht - absolutely delicious. Homemade, savory, nicely spiced with a dollop of sour cream ... what's not to love? Our two main dishes were equally yummy. The chicken with walnuts and pomegranates was great - chicken done to perfection, sauce not too spicy and delicious. The lamb kebab was the best I've ever eaten. Accompanying both was an ample serving of saffron rice with some roasted vegetables. I wish this little place were not stuck in the tired little Firdale Square but, once you know it's there, you drive there. I wish them years of successful business and we'll sure do our part to keep them cooking! read more

We vary rarely write reviews, because we don't eat out that often. However, my wife and I have both traveled a bit, and our favorite place is India. We stopped in after working all day (general contractor, so by the end of a long weekend we're pretty exhausted), and this quickly became a favorite. The food is absolutely marvelous and we could not have been happier. I'd be willing to bet everything is made in-house, as we have not been brought back to our favorite place in quite sometime. The couple working, presumably the owners, treated us as guests in their home, and we felt so refreshed to sit and simply enjoy. What a treat, and place I would recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic. read more

Caravan Kebab is humbly tucked away in Firdale Village just on the border of Edmonds and Shoreline. Eclectic and beautifully decorated inside, your eyes wander between the colorful tapestries, ornate mirrors and baskets hung neatly on the walls. The smells entice you from the kitchen ranging from curries to fried onions to freshly baked flat breads. The owner, Shahzad Raja, is one of the most generous and thoughtful people I have ever met. He is a world traveler at heart which you can taste in every single dish. Open for lunch and dinner! Try the homemade chai tea no matter the time of day. Magic in your mouth! read more

Caravan Kebab - Amazingly fresh tasting and full of flavor, the kebabs are one of my favorites. - Indian Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I have to agree with everyone else that the service here is absolutely awesome. The food however, was mediocre at best. One thing I can't have, is no Naan with my Butter Chicken; how else are you going to scoop up the sauce?! The rice was also like Fried Rice, unlike the basmati you get served at traditional places. Overall, this place is enjoyable -- if only for the atmosphere. read more

I came to Caravan on a recommendation from a friend. After eating there, all I can say is that I will ALWAYS take his recommendations from now on. The owners of Caravan were absolutely delightful. The decor is beautiful and very comfortable. The place is full of good music, good smells, and nice, friendly people. And now to the food ... the food was some of the best I have had in a long, long time. The hummus was amazing. And then came the lamb kebab ... what can I say. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The owner topped it off with a little rice pudding that finished it off perfectly. And it is definitely reasonably priced. If I lived anywhere near, I would become a regular ... it's that good! read more
