Shocked this isn't rated higher! The food is consistently delicious. Best chicken kebab plate in Seattle. Gyro is also delicious. They are quick. Pro tip: go in person for takeout. They are quick and you get exactly what you want, how you want it. Small, casual place. I always do takeout!
The food came to us pretty quickly and the food tasted pretty good for the price! The fries were a little too salty for me but other than that it was pretty solid for "fast food" I wouldn't recommend eating here because the area is not the best but the employees are super nice. I'll come again for take out if I ever need a quick tasty bite!
nastiest food i ever tasted! how do you eat this stuff, i couldn't figure out! i could see there was a pita bread i think, but not sure??? i was give some soupy-looking stuff that looked like throw up, how was it to be eaten with & on what? i ordered the chicken kabobs that looked nothing like the picture on the wall menu &i expected the garlic to be recognizable, but it was a mashed consistency of maybe a soft pudding. i paid $22.05 for this stuff, the kabobs were dry & served with very little rice no sauce &the cashier/server was irritated because se gave the wrong name or description of the dish! total waste of my money &i was hungry & couldn't really eat the meal!
The food is mediocre, the establishment is clean, and the service is good. If you value your hard-earned money, READ ON. We entered this nicely kept facility expecting great service paired with excellent food at a good price. What we got was only 1 of those 3 expectations met (i.e., great service). The prices were way too high for the food that we received. At gourmet prices, you'd expect the food to be good. Well, alas, the food was insufficiently seasoned and the beef "sandwiches" (more like wraps) were RAW!!! This is inexcusable. Rushing food out without checking that it is properly cooked is a dangerous thing to do, as someone can get ill. I unfortunately ate a piece of raw beef and was ultimately left with a bad taste in my mouth. Once bitten, twice shy.
I have been eating at Garlic Crush for several years now and I love their chicken shawarma plate with extra garlic paste. Today for some reason it wasn't available on Door Dash so I ordered the Beef and Lamb Shawarma plate and I was so disappointed by the quality of the food. The meat was rock hard and so dark it looked like pieces of shoe leather and had a weird smell. I had to scrape off most of the meat as it was inedible and disgusting to eat. I will be calling the restaurant tomorrow to request a partial refund.
Little pricier than other mediterranean places but given how much I enjoyed the meal I can totally forgive that. The chicken shawarma plate was absolutely packed with shawarma, rice, hummus, and the yummiest toum. It came with a warm pita and choice between soup or salad (chose salad). Thought I'd be able to split it into 2 meals but it was so good I couldn't help eating it all even when I felt myself getting fuller. That's how you know it's a great meal
Horrible! Gyro meat was dry and burnt. Rice was undercooked. This place is not a good replacement to the place that was there. Mediterranean express was so much better. Now I'll only go to Med Mix in Central district.
Ambience. B Service. B??? Food. Price. A Found on Broadway outside street side of the QFC. My first time here, but I know this place has been here for years. Service is friendly, but getting 5 people to try and explain the difference between a gyro sandwich vs schwarma sandwich was so confusing!!! English seemed a little difficult in here. I got that sauces are different, but people kept confusing I wanted different meats?!!! Even though there's a lamb gyro and lamb schwarma. I ordered schwarma since I wanted tahini and hummus sauce with my meats. No prices are in the menu board so downloaded the web menu. My schwarma beef lamb was $10+ The light grilled tortilla with lettuce tomatoes and tahini were good. Unfortunately, I thought the sliced off meat was dry...if it weren't for the sauces of tahini or hummus, this would have been a dry tasteless sandwich. There's a big turnover of food during my time at lunch... don't know why the meat was way over cooked and dry. Sigh. I've definitely have had better. There's a long list of takeout and pickup orders. So I had to wait over 10 mins as each sandwich is prepped to order. Today. Not a fan...
Don't be scared by the bad reviews. If you look closely at the bad reviews, all of them say that the food is good (which it is). Instead they nit pick about small things which probably won't matter to most people. As for the food itself, it's delicious. I've been eating at the Bellevue location for years and hoping they would open closer to home. My favorite is the chicken kabob platter. The chicken is super tender and juicy with a wonderful zesty marinade. It comes with the best lemon chicken soup I've had. And I can't get enough of the garlic sauce it also comes with.
How the heck am I first person to review the newly taken over Garlic Crush? But let me tell you, I'm glad I am! My first time at Garlic Crush was in Bellevue. My good friend (IG:kee.bites) introduced me to the fresh and delicious Mediterranean food that Garlic Crush had to offer. Like the time in Bellevue I had ordered the Beef and Lamb Gyro Plate ($12.95). You get a choice of soup or salad, plus a hot pita. The gyro meat comes more in a think strip form, laying on a bed of rice and mixed with onion and covered with a nice smattering of tzatziki sauce. Fresh herbs and spices melded everything perfectly together. The portion size is enough to share, or have for left overs later. The quality of the food hasn't changed from the Bellevue location to the Cap Hill location, and still keeps me wanting more... with more tzatziki sauce. I'm not ever a lamb fan, but somehow Garlic Crush had done something magical to trick my taste buds into loving the lamb on the gyro plate. Prices seem to vary a bit from the website to what is actually posted in shop. Probably trying to win over the college and university kids. But let me tell you, Garlic Crush you've won me over. Thanks for being delicious Garlic Crush! Keep up the good work!
Listen, hands down this is the best Mediterranean spot in Seattle. The Garlic Fries are bomb by themselves but I add the gyro meat to it and baby when I tell you, it'll make you slap somebody's mama (because I'm not slapping my mama, she slaps back) - you'll slap her into oblivion! The gyro meat is extra and they're always confused when I order it this way but man, it's good. I'm from the south, so fries for us always have a topping on them. Trust me, get the garlic fries with the gyro meat on top and extra garlic sauce!! It's delicious and filling. Leave me a compliment if you ever try them this way!
Garlic Crush is my go-to takeout place! I love that they are always quick without compromising on flavor and freshness (portions are also super generous). If you're not sure what to try, I'd recommend the Beef and Lamb Shawarma plate. Adding as a note since I haven't seen any reviews mention, but everything on the menu is halal!

We had one beef and one chicken wrap. There wasn't enough beef as usual in my wrap. It was very good outside of that. The season fries were disappointing. They are usually the best in town. Fries were over cooked or the oil was old. The service was very accommodating. They gave us a new batch of fries and these were very good. We ate outside on the patio. It was warm today 84°. It was perfect because we were in the shade and there was a slight breeze. read more

I gave the Seattle location another chance after almost a year. The serving sizes are back to normal. The chicken kabob salad was not shorted as it was in the past. My boys enjoyed their chicken kabob plates. Looking forward to enjoying more meals when watching Sounders games. read more

I've had food from Garlic Crush delivered to my office 3x this week for lunch and I was satisfied each time. I ordered the same thing everyday - classic gyro with a house salad. Both items came in good portion sizes and were very good. The gyro is pretty much all meat which is nice because I just add some of it to my house salad. This review is based solely on the food I've been delivered. I've never actually been inside Garlic Crush so I can't speak on the actual restaurant itself. read more

Came here during my lunch break. I thought the food was alright, although the flavors were a little sour (not in a spoiled way; more like yogurt sour) and saltier than I would like. I don't eat Mediterranean often so I can't compare too well so take that opinion w a grain of salt. The serving size was plentiful, good for one hungry person, or enough for 2 small servings. A little pricy after tax and tip. Personally I would not return unless I'd have to but this isn't a bad place to get food from, from what I can tell read more

Not my favorite Greek restaurant I've ever tried. Zoë's was my go-to place in Texas but it looks like that chain is not in Washington. The hummus could have had more seasoning/flavor and same with the rice. This was my first time trying falafel and it peaked my interest but I'll be on the hunt for another Greek place in town. I will say the Greek salad was amazing and I would go back just for that if I am looking for a light lunch! read more
