    When stopping by the local Family Donut shop, I noticed that Gyro Sababa has been an interesting option that is well liked by the community to check out, and I am glad that I was able to stop by to try out this restaurant! We went on a Saturday around dinner time (7pm) and were able to get a table. The restaurant itself is located on a small shopping block, and there are about 5-10 parking spots total at the front of the shops. I can see it being a bit difficult to come in from the Meridian ave street as you may get grouped up with the people wanting to turn left. Service is decently fast and responsive, and ordering is done at the cashier and they will bring the food out to you. By default, there isn't a water machine/dispenser, and we didn't automatically get water - we had to request it from the service workers and then they would bring it out to us in a small plastic cup. The ambiance is definitely fast casual as only a select few people stayed behind to eat their order and majority of people left. I got the number 16, which is the beef and lamb kabab platter ($20). At a first glance, it looks like there is a decent amount of food on the platter, but if you are really hungry, this still may not be enough as 60% of the plate is basically just hummus, yogurt, and some light salad. You may need to order an additional appetizer/dessert afterwards to get full. The kabab has a nice hearty and meaty texture, though it is a lot more dryer than other kababs that I have tried in the Seattle area. The hummus is good - very smooth and helps with the dryness of the kabab, and acts as a nice glue between the rice and the kabab. I personally wasn't wowed by the plate, but I think if you are looking to scratch that Mediterranean itch - this restaurant has got you covered. Price-wise, I think that this place does lean on the pricier side as I have seen these dishes at comparable restaurants for $2-3 less that what they offer here, and combo platters at other places being the price of a singular meat option here. There does seem to be a couple of other options on the menu that seemed pretty interesting, that I would definitely try if I was back at Gyro Sababa in the future.

    Came here after an appointment (based on Yelp reviews) and what a pleasant surprise! The place is in an older stripe mall. I had the gyro salad, they heat up the gyro meat for me because making the salad in front of me. I love that you put the special garlic paste and the yogurt salad dressing in opposite corners of the salad so I can taste both of them separately. It was so fresh and yummy. Highly recommend!

    Located in a little busy strip mall area, this is a fast casual place that works well for a quick weekday lunch when you're on a time crunch. We shared a lamb/beef gyro platter ($18) and ordered extra pita (I believe $1.25/50 each?) and tzatziki sauce ($1.25) which was enough food for the two of us due to the amount of rice that came with it. The platter came with gyro meat over rice, a small side salad and a dollop of hummus. The gyro meat was well seasoned and tasty and the star of the show for me. The extra tzatziki was portion was very small though (a little ketchup container's worth). We aren't big eaters so this was enough for the two of us to finish completely. Overall a fast and tasty meal.

    Amazing casual gyro place near north gate! Got our food fast and loved every bite. Portion sizes were big enough for two people to share. Service was excellent as well. The parking lot can feel a bit sketchy, just be cautious. But we'll be back!

    Came here Sunday evening for dinner. We were greeted warmly and ordered dine-in. We got the #1 lamb & beef plate and the lamb & beef gyro with a side of sababa fries. Each dish was flavorful and tasted great. For the price, it's reasonable and the portions are large! The staff were friendly and there's a few tables to sit at. Parking is also easy. Will definitely be back next time I'm craving Mediterranean food.

    3. Shawarma King Wrap

    I've been wanting to try this place after MB recommended it. I love gyros, but ordered the Shawarma King Wrap with lamb and beef. It was delicious! A little different from a gyro in that it is a wrap and has pickled veggies. The entire wrap is also grilled on both sides, so it's piping hot when you get it. Service was welcoming and prompt. I'm looking forward to their new store opening in Shoreline in late September.

    My main man Mo at Gyro Sababa is cooking up them MEATS. Upon walking in, you will immediately see the star of the show... *** THE SHAWARMA SPIT *** Just absolutely sweating meat juices down its sides. It makes you want to put your head underneath to capture the shawarma essence as it falls, but that could be just me. Mo cheffed up this lovely shawarma platter for me. Rice, salad, meat, hummus, pita, what more could you ask for? Perfect size too. I wasn't disgustingly full when I left, but I felt incredibly happy with what I was served. Their garlic sauce and hummus provide the ideal consistency and flavor with which to smother on top of the pita and turn this meal into an interactive event. The place could use a little more seating though, because Gyro Sababa is exponentially increasing in popularity (especially after this review) Would love to come back and try more food. Thanks, Mo.

    Sooo good. The beef/lamb was so delicious and tender. I ordered to go and the service was fast. Great portion sizes, which I appreciate. When I'm on the north end again I will definitely order from here again.

    Good was top tier and the staff was very helpful and radiated positivity! 11/10. We ordered the #8 and #9 as well as the pistachio baklava and classic baklava.

    Overhead menu (11/29/23)

    As I meandered from the UDistrict, Maple Leaf, I decided to have a spontaneous early lunch at Gyro SABABA in Northgate (11/29/23). Open for over 1.5 years, it's located in a small strip mall west of I-5 on Northgate Way, next door to Family Donut. Shared parking lot is tight, but I managed to find a spot. Amazed how the gentleman behind the counter was totally non-plussed and chill working solo, taking and prepping orders, and mostly takeout for the start of lunch rush. After glancing at overhead menu, I opted for the #9 Shawarma Plate and tap water. I was later handed a tray with grilled lamb slices (passed on beef or chicken) with garlicky sauce atop a generous serving of rice. This also was served with a small salad, hummus, and warm pita. I remained onsite versus most folks opting for takeout. There is a few two and four tops for indoor seating. I ate everything except for my pita which I took home with me. Generous, flavorful servings. I still have that garlicky aftertaste which is a plus for me. Driven past a gazillion times, glad I made this spontaneous detour. Delicious, generous, and affordable!

    SIX STAR REVIEW IF I COULD, THE FOOD HERE IS INCREDIBLE…read more I absolutely adore the available selections on their menu-- all the options are displayed on a screen on the wall, and you get to watch and direct the creation of your meal, Subway-style. Everything I've tried tastes absolutely h e a v e n l y and it is WELL worth your time and money to visit. I've never yet had a bowl whose ingredients flavors and textures didn't scream "fresh, fragrant, a delicious work of culinary art." It's no overstatement to call this place one of my favorite restaurants, if not just straight up my favorite. There's a comfortable range of options in terms of both dishes and ingredients-- not as many as some restaurants, and it shows in the best way; they're extremely g o o d at what they do by specializing. They've just moved to a newer location, and the ambiance is bright, clean, and comfortable. The walls are mostly large windows, with accurate poster depictions of the food they serve wrapping along the lower half of/them-- offering ample street privacy but flooding the room with a welcoming dose of natural light. The people working here might be some of the most friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in food service-- everyone is very open and welcoming, and in my experience, eager to share a conversation and very, very sweet I feel like I really can't overstate how g o o d the food is without turning the review into something completely unintelligible. It's so, so, so delicious, I will take a bite and straight up swoon-- you know how when you eat a dish for long enough, you eventually get used to and even tired of the taste? THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. This is the only restaurant I've gone to whose food just doesn't get old-- not to throw the other places I love under the bus, but this is an experience unique to Poke Cafe for me. I don't think there's vocabulary to properly express the experience, unless you ask me to wax poetry about it, but even that can be twisted by perception, so I'll just say, for the love of god if you like Poke (or the other things they offer,) GO TO POKE CAFE. Y'all know that phrase "A Diamond in the Rough?" That's Poke Cafe. There's only one location and it kills me, as a college student leaving Seattle during the school year, every time I remember that. Holiday breaks are not for holidays, they're for coming back to Poke Cafe. Enough said. About The Pictures: - I will admit that the avocado this time was somewhat messily cut/scooped, but it still tasted D I V I N E and the look didn't mess with that so honestly, who cares - Listing the additional toppings: Crab Salad, Masago, Cucumber, Jalapeño Peppers, Cilantro, Ginger, Avocado, Edamame, Furikake, Garlic Chips-- I think that's everything? - All the toppings above are included according to your preference, except the Avocado which is a small additional charge. You can also pick between brown or white rice, salad greens, or half-and-half of the prior options for a base. - The cilantro here might just be some specific variety I've never had,,, but it's especially fragrant - I'll admit I've only had their Poke, but I've picked up a Bah Minh for a friend, and said friend is also enamored with the food

    I'm so unbelievably sad writing this review. I've been going to poke cafe for years. They knew my…read moreorder, knew my name, knew everything. But today, I came in to see that it's under new ownership. "Trezo"? Something like that. Almost overnight the prices have skyrocketed. It's just another mass-produced money-gouging spot now. No authentic family-owned vibe, no warmth, no nothing. To see one of my favourite spots be turned into every other Asian food spot in Seattle absolutely crushed me. Tacky fake plants, neon signs, and terrible music. Stingy portions for the price too. I can't bring myself to come here anymore. Best bet is to just go to some cheap poke place nowadays.

    So long and thanks for all the fish!…read more Tasty food, but what an awful value. The model worked when you opened your business because value was there. Then you chose to increase prices and decrease the quantity, which didn't make sense. Less for more? What a waste of a great idea - greed is why your business model didn't work. Your business was so hot when it opened and it actually went downhill about 6 years ago and I am not sad to see you go. Josh - to respond to your comment. My note should have inspired some reflection with the business model but it didn't. Your level of greed was insane and that is not forgiven here. You started hot and decided to squeeze more than your share from this business and this is what happens. You messed around and found out. It's sad because I actually supported the business when it opened but quickly had to end my dealings due to the high level of greed. You did this to your own business by wanting more, more and more, so please don't play the victim here. I'm sorry that you're saddened by this but what you did to the community is far worse than what I said. Actually ripping people off with your product is not having humanity. I'm not the inhumane one here and let's get that straight. I didn't rip people off - you did! You got what you deserved and that's that. You likely have time to turn things around but I doubt you can reduce your greed in time. If you do, I'll gladly come back and support yall. Again - food was great and greed was not.

All the staff were pretty chill and nice. Love all their smiles. I got my favorite, Beef Stew. I ordered this often in Lynnwood site, especially when I was sick. Regarless, it's on different location, the taste is the same! So, I'm happy about it. The vibe is completely different than Lynnwood one. This restaurant is darker and guests are way louder. Mostly, university students, I think. I like dim light atmosphere, unfortunately, I can't enjoy it much here. Too loud? Too dark? Or it's just not the right light bulbs, it got me dizzy. It was at night, it made the room even gloomy. Upon returning to the parking lot, the atmosphere is somewhat unsettling. This is particularly true for a woman walking alone. To access the parking lot, I had to walk through the darkness to the back of the building. Unfortunately, due to the narrow parking lot, one car was parked in a manner that blocked the exit way, requiring me to reverse all the way out. Overall fantastic staff, fantastic food, but I may not comeback because the vibe just doesn't suit me. This restaurant will most likely be very busy in the better location and fresh look.
