The waitstaff was amazing. This is a small place with some of the waitstaff I have met in quite some time. The recommended dishes we fantastic from the appetizer dish of beans to the fresh out of the oven garlic naan to the spectacular kebab combo entree. This place did not disappoint. I drove 20 minutes back across town after working an early start day after a grueling 15 hour travel day the day before with little sleep,,, my point is,, it was worth driving back across town to go to dinner at this small comfortable restaurant read more

This place is a hidden gem we stumbled upon while visiting the farmers market. We had the tzatziki, peta bread, garlic naan, polish dumplings, chicken boti kebab, and lamb shish kebab. Each of these were amazing! The meat was tender and packed with mouth watering flavors. While it's not close to home, we will gladly make the drive again to eat here! read more

My friend and I came here for dinner before seeing a show and were so impressed with the food here. The place was completely packed and the owner was certain to get around to everyone in a timely manner to take orders. Getting checks at the end of the meal seems to be the only area they need improvement in. While we were ordering the table behind us was desperately trying to pay their tab by putting their check in the air, hoping the owner would see it. When it was time for us to go I had to go up to the front of the restaurant to request the check. When the owner brought it to us we noticed it was the wrong check, albeit showing a total that was cheaper than our actual meal. By the time the owner got us the right check I had to walk our cards up to him so we weren't late to our show. Aside from the slow checkout this restaurant was great. The food here definitely speaks for itself. A unique intersection of Mediterranean, Persian, Pakistani, and Indian food - everything we had was absolutely delicious. The eggplant dish was especially unique - similar to stuffed grape leaves with the exception of eggplant where restaurants usually use grape leaves. The cauliflower soup was perfect for a cold winter night - savory but not too heavy, and the saganaki was authentic and delicious. The salad was fresh and a perfect pairing with the cauliflower soup. My friend and I agreed we need to return to try out more menu items. We both really enjoyed the house red wine to pair with the meal as well. I know I'll be back again the next time I'm in this part of town! read more

Small family owned business in Edmonds. We went there once a few years ago (pre pandemic), and again today for takeout. We got the hummus plate (with a side of naan), a fried veggie appetizer that I don't remember the exact name of, fish masala (medium spice), Turkish kofta kebab, and baklava. Large enough portions to have leftovers! They also added a free side of what appears to be rice pudding. Now I'm an American with Eastern European roots, but I've never had authentic food so I'm no expert, but this food has been delicious both times! Both my husband and I are very happy with the taste. I saw some reviews saying the food is bland, maybe they ordered mild? They offer 3 levels of spice. Medium leaves a pleasant heat on the tongue, not too spicy, and not bland! Also, the people working there are very kind every time. I don't understand the negative reviews. Good experience dining in, and now with takeout. read more

Delicious, authentic, creative. A real hidden gem of Edmonds! Biryani and lamb saag are amazing

Beautiful atmosphere. Interesting combos of flavors, fresh ingredients. Huge portions.

Food is not that great, was disappointed by the naan bread, and the kebab meat was quite dry

A small cozy place in Edmonds you can visit if you're around. It offers a nice blended food od Mediterranean and pakistani cuisine. We order a mix platter and chicken kabab which came with vegetables and rice. Spice was also good which feels good on your pallet. read more

Overall this is really tasty food, and I've enjoyed coming here recently. First re-visit I had Turkish Kofta Kebab, and it was the MOST flavorful I've had! Decent quantity, and it was stellar. However, I was tempted that time by their Chicken Tikka Masala, so the second visit I had it. And it was good, spice levels were on point, but overall it was underwhelming. Especially for $20, the portion size was not great. Sort of left me wanting for more. I'd rather get a heartier portion at an Indian restaurant instead. That said, I will definitely come back to sample more items from the Kebab menu. It's a touch spendy but I think it's worth the excellent product. read more

Healthy, homemade flavor, lovely atmosphere with beautiful middle Eastern art. I love the staff who works here, very kind and attentive. My food was top notch and I love coming back to support this place! read more

We had an office Christmas party this weekend and Caravan Kebab did the catering. Everything Chef Shahzad prepared was delicious and truly beautiful! There was not a person at the Christmas party who didn't ask where the food was from! Thank you to the great team at Caravan Kebab who knocked it out of the park on this big party order! read more

Caravan is easily my most favorite restaurant! Their Chicken Fasinjen is to die for and their mint ice cream rocks! :) extremely nice and warm management and really a cool ambience! A must visit! read more

Wanted to try a little change if food and the menu had many offerings Went with the lamb kabobs and the tajine Food was fine but sure not wow and a bit pricy for the amount And no side like bread included Super clean inside and the owner was super nice and helpful Lots of parking out front A decent honest restaurant and I would return Jim at Maplelag in Minnesota read more

We found Caravan Kebab by way of great Yelp ratings. Unfortunately, showing up there for lunch was quite contrary to our expectations of a restaurant with over four stars. The table was set with a dirty fork, greasy glass table-top, and food-stained white tablecloth. The Moroccan Lamb Tagine came out with a slightly sour smell and a hint of potentially spoiled lamb. A couple bites was enough to dissuade a third attempt; it was poor tasting from potentially spoiled ingredients and an off spice-blend. The Chicken Fesenjan did not have a hint of spoiled ingredients, but it did have the same off-blend of spices and poor taste. The dough was not salty at all, and there was just a trace of mint. We asked for the check and were charged full price for the meals we barely touched. Unfortunately, our experience sums to 1 star. read more

My wife and love this place. We discovered by accident and now we are trying to make others to go and eat there. Great food service and ambiance. The portion are just right and every dishes is excellent with lots of flavor. Feels like eating a family dinner at a great restaurant.if you live in Edmonds/lynnwood or anywhere in north Seattle, you have to try this place!!!! read more

Came here with family to celebrate my husband's birthday. Some things were delicious and some were just okay. Since they have quite an assortment of offerings, I can see that not everything can be good. Staff was fantastic and attentive. They gave my husband some rice pudding to take home. read more

The owners are so friendly, welcoming and appreciative of our business. We over ordered bc of FOMO-itis. This is what we tried, dont judge(i have 3 teenagers to feed!): Greek salad Persian salad Pakoras Hummus Mango chicken curry Butter chicken Haandi curry Garlic naan Veggie kofta Koftq kebabs Dal curry Everything was so fresh and beautiful. Salads were crisp(tons of feta, soooo good) and even the next day were still crunchy. Curries and koftas were really good. Nothing was really spicy. I had 2 heaping plates of food and then could not move due to food coma. read more

Love their food as always! Chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and their naan is to die for. Tikka masala is basically marinated chicken pieces going in tandoor and then added to the curry which in my opinion is game changer because that way the chicken feels nice and cooked. Their veggie pakoras are amazing as a starter and the chutney they serve with it is full of flavour burst. I read some of the reviews and noticed that they say it's not authentic Indian/Pakistani but looking at their menu I don't think they are trying to be one. Its a multi-cultural menu that takes you on a food journey from India, Pakistan, Greece, Turkey to many more... read more

I come here often for their delicious and rich food! The curries and naan are my go to order here. Their Gyros are also pretty good. With their new $10.99 lunch menu, I come her even more. The service here is super friendly and more often than not, they throw in a complementary rice pudding dessert. read more

I don't know why this is called a Pakistani or Indian restaurant. It is an overpriced and overhyped place. I had never experienced such seen an arrogant and disrespectful service than this place. no taste and flavor in food. Now about the service. We reached the restaurant around 4:45 on a rainy day. We were told that wait outside till 5 and then come back in when the restaurant opens. IT was freezing out we asked if he can turn on the heater lamp so we can wait outside. the answer was again the same after 5 PM. At 5 PM we entered the restaurant and got seated. Looking at the menu my friend asked what is good. Answer: look at the menu you can read there. Food We ordered Pakora as an appetizer, Nihari, Chicken Tikka Masala, Caravan kabob special. Pakora I think my 15 old daughter can make veggie pakora better than their chef. It was full of oil and soggy. In Pakistani/Indian food pakora is the simplest thing to make and they don't know how to make it. Nihari was a combination of onion and meat. Originally Nihari have no onion. Nihari should be light and flowy. not like onion meat. Chicken Tikka Masala I took a dive to find the chicken in the sauce. I thought they make chicken tikka masala with ground chicken then realized oh there is no chicken and yes, of course, no taste. The kebob platter was really bland. No taste That was the first and last time I went to this place. I believe even any worst place would be better then this place. read more

Plenty of people have pointed out already that this place is far more than just a kebab shop. You can make a case that there's much more than meets the eye here, and that goes beyond just the name. The name makes it sound like you're getting just a few skewered things from the grill, and probably taking them to go. To be sure, you can get skewered things from the grill, and you can take them to go. There's a ton of neighborhood housing stretching out for miles around this place, and the to-go business must be a good one. From the outside, you might think that takeout is the way to go; this whole strip mall is the business district that time forgot. The buildings have always been occupied, and there's always a fresh coat of point, but it's a weird slopey parking lot and the architecture is a bit dated. The main building is trying to look like it's in colonial Williamsburg, but it's full of little shops and restaurants and nail salons and such. So you can be forgiven for not really knowing what to expect when you walk in. Three of us came in on a Wednesday after the lunch rush, and had the place to ourselves for most of the visit. Everything is clean and thoroughly decorated--tons of handcrafts and little pieces of art are on every wall and counter. It gives the place a colorful vibe with tons of character. They bring you an enormous thick menu; it feels like an encyclopedia. 8 pages of dishes from all over the world. I think they present themselves as a "Mediterranean, Indian, and European" restaurant, and they're making a serious run at covering all that ground in just 30-35 dishes. Hungarian, Indian, Greek, Polish, Persian--so many different culinary traditions between the apps, salads, soups, and entrees. We checked out a Hungarian appetizer: julienned mushrooms. Really deep flavors, great variety of textures with cheese and cashews added. The dolmades and rolled eggplant apps were equally flavorful, though slightly more familiar from other places. The "Munk's Favorite" soup was essentially a dhal; bright-yellow soup topped with sprigs of fresh herb. Tons of savory seasoning and great texture from the legumes. We checked out a vegetable dish and pierogis for entrees. I seriously don't know how they learn all these traditions in one kitchen, let alone make them make sense on the same menu. But they most certainly do. We had a "hot cuppa chai" (listed exactly as such on the menu) and black tea as well. The black tea was the only thing in the place that was remotely ordinary; it was just a little mug with a bag of Lipton in it. Went perfectly with everything for sure though. 7 plates of food and 2 drinks came to $77 before tip. This place is amazing and I will be back to work my way through the entire menu. This is one place where I would try anything they want to serve me, even if they just made it up that morning and didn't even have a name for it yet. What's crazy is how quiet it feels, when it's less than a mile or two from 4 of the busiest highways in south Snohomish County. You seriously just come up over a small hill from the busiest roads around, and you find plenty of parking and you get a dining room all to yourself, where they bring you amazing food at amazing prices. This place will be packed in no time or there's no justice. read more

I love this place. I came here with my friends before seeing a show at the community theater, a combo I highly recommend. I love how the menu features items from the Mediterranean to Russia. I wish that their vegetarian menu featured a little more variety though. Nonetheless, it's a cool spot. read more

I was checking out a vendor fair in the parking lot next to this place and it looked interesting so we tried it out for lunch. Caravan Kebab is FANTASTIC!! The lamb Shish Kebabs are amazing with superb flavor and tenderness. The chicken Kebabs are also cooked to perfection, tender, juicy and full of flavor. The garlic Naan was huge, fresh and a perfect appetizer. The side pita bread was equally fresh and perfect to wipe your plate clean with. The veggies on the side were also absolutely perfect and well seasoned and I could have eaten a whole plate of jut the veggies! We also had the lentil soup and the flavor was a Devine inspiration with a spiciness to give just the right amount of kick. We finished off with baklava that did not disappoint either, not too sweet and absolutely delicious! I can't say enough good things about this place! The owner was also very nice and took great care of us. If you are looking for the perfect Mediterranean style meal, you MUST try Caravan Kebab! read more

Best Indo pak food in Seattle. Their beef kebabs and chiken tikkas are awesome. This is our only go to restaurant for great Indian food. As authentic as it could get in the Seattle area. Customer service is not as mentioned in few negative reviews, the staff here is very knowlegable and helpful. Whenever we miss the authentic food from back home, we just make a call to Caravaan. The owner is great person to talk to and has immense experience in this restaurant business. read more

Made a simple call ahead for 3 orders of veggie pakoras. Picked them up, got to the car and discovered it was just 1 box. Peeked in thinking it must be packed full. It wasn't. Went back in for clarification as $26 for a not full box of veggie fritters seemed like a mistake. Nope- apparently each order is only 5 pieces! So, not wanting to be difficult, I head back to share this snack with the family. I ate 1 before I heard my daughter yell from the backseat. She pulled a blue rubber band out of her mouth- it was in the center of one of the pakoras. How does that even happen? Went back in and got a begrudging refund. Not even an apology. Marche read more

I really like the food here. Have eaten here several times. This is a slightly out of the way location, in a strip mall. Nicely decorated inside, makes you feel if you are being transported to a location far from the Edmonds location you are in. You are greeted enthusiastically by the owner. As you sit down, you are viewing a menu with unusually diverse cuisines. I will list my favorites. The cauliflower soup with truffle oil on top is very tasty. I love soup and this soup is hard not to order. The Borscht is incredible, great beet flavor with sour cream. My next have to order is the Eggplant Rolls. They are stuffed with walnuts and onions and served in a pomegranate sauce. Such a great mix of flavors and so healthy. Another favorite is Homemade Spanakopita. Incredible taste of spinach and cheese in flaky pastry. I am usually a meat eater and these dishes are so tasty. One last vegetable favorite, Mushroom Julienne. Sheep feta, sour cream and a wonderful mix of herbs. Yes, I have ordered all of these and now am too full to get the mains. But I have eaten beef stroganoff. Delicious use of beef, mushrooms and sour cream. The Beef Nihari is so good, a delicious curry of beef shanks and curry spices. The Chicken Fesenjan is an excellent Persian dish, with pomegranate. One day I ordered Caravan Kebab Special, Lamb Shish, Chicken Boti, & Turkish Kofta Kebabs. All excellent, especially with the fresh baked naan. The wine list is great here, and the hot chai is some of the best I have ever had. For dessert, the baklava is not too sweet and a nice taste of honey. What I like better, is Saffron Fresh Mint Ice Cream. "Homemade ice cream with fresh mint leaf, saffron, cardamom, and hints of rosewater and lemon. Topped with dark chocolate sauce." You keep eating this, even when you are too full from all the other delicious food. I want to come back and try the Moroccan tagline, the fish Marsala and the Afghan Bolani. Will get Bougatsaa " Greek filo pastry filled with semonila milk custard and flavored with lemon, cinnamon, and fennel seed." Loved the atmosphere, food and service. Recommend for trying each of their diverse dishes. read more

The tikka masala and butter chicken curry were both very good. Could probably have gone above medium spice, and I am not a spice person!

Friendly service and delicious take out. Can't wait to come back! The rice pudding was delicious.

I recently moved to the area, and asked a local friend for a recommendation. Wow! I had the Florina peppers ...Amazing! I ordered the butter chicken (very good), a glass of the Macedonian pomegranate wine (sweet and interesting. I enjoyed it but definitely more of a dessert wine) and rice pudding for dessert. I definitely will come again to try new options. read more

Great service from the minute you walk in. Then comes the beautiful waft of garlic and spices. We ordered the eggplant roles, baba ghanouj, butter chicken, and veggie biryani. The food came quickly, stayed warm, and was DELICIOUS. Eggplant roles were small but packed with delicious, sweet and tangy flavor. Baba ghanouj was proclaimed as "the best" my grandmother has ever had. And I would agree. The butter chicken was melt in your mouth delicious. Veggie Biryani was also delicious! read more

Got the garlic naan and lamb kebab. The lamb kebab was well seasoned however I wish it was more tender but it was moist. The naan was thinner and crispier than what I'm used to but still good. They have kashmiri chai but there's no free refills. My friend had the butter chicken and it was standard like what I would get at other places. I would only come here if I were in the area and craving Indian food. read more
