    Lamb Shawarma
    Narei K.

    The lamb shawarma was sooooo good! Falafel and gyro were great too but the shawarma was . I'd definitely come back here again.

    Veggie Saj
    Julia A.

    I've become addicted to their Veggie Saj! It's this amazing wrap with falafel and cauliflower. It comes with this amazing sauce too. It's a big portion so usually I eat half for lunch and half for dinner. Very consistent quality and smells amazing.

    Falafel
    Eileen L.

    After a long travel day and walking Pike Street we ordered take out from Gyro Saj. I had the falafel wrap which was amazing! Very flavorful and tender and lots of hummus and crunchy veggies. The staff were helpful and friendly. Very affordable as well. I am marking it for next time I'm in town.

    Chicken Saj Shawarma
    Mimi W.

    Fast casual place, bright and vibrant interior and they even had flower centerpieces on their tables. Service was quick, grab and go type place. We got the Chicken Saj Shawarma and the Gyro Fries which was a generous portion. The Chicken Saj Shawarma was average, nothing special. The signage outside said they have the best Gyro Fries, it was also just average. The meats were kind of dry. I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place but if I'm hungry and pass by, I'd stop here again.

    Generous portions, quick service, and tasty food! While I generally opt for the other gyro spot down the street, decided to try this today and wasn't disappointed. Everything tasted so good and was cooked perfectly. Plenty of seating all around . I think I would stick to the other spot personally since this places' prices are just a smidge higher.

    I got takeout from here for lunch and was pretty impressed! I got the falafel plate which was falafel, rice, a small salad, hummus, and pita. In the middle of lunch hours they were fresh cooking the falafel which I'd never seen before, they're usually pre made and kept warm. Everything was delicious and tasted very fresh; the lettuce was crisp, the hummus was tasty, the pita was warm. I think $16+ for a casual lunch is a little much but everything was great quality so can't complain!

    Gyro Fries

    Got this for takeout and i think it wasn't the optimal state of fresh by the time we ate it. The chicken shawarma was a little dry and the greek fries were a bit soggy. But definitely a hefty amount of food and it was still pretty good- just could've been better

    Gyro Plate
    Emily H.

    This is one of my favorites in First Hill for a quick bite! The serving size is amazing for the price and it's a well rounded meal! I love getting the lamb and beef platter, but enjoy their gyros as well! They also have some interesting sodas like this Vimto raspberry/black currant sparkling fruit drink!

    Great spot for a quick lunch. Lots of folks ordered online and picked up to go while we were there. There is a full vegan section with a variety of options. Some of the items on the menu are huge!!! Ask ahead of time if you're only looking for a small bite to get some direction. All the toppings are right in front so you can see what you're getting before you order. Food was really good and a great value for the quantity.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    Got the chicken shawarma plate. Rating this compared to other shawarma it's gotta be a 3/5 mid. Anything lower would be leaving you on the toilet. The chicken was dry compared to other shawarma I've had. Hummus was avg. rice had good seasoning. The pita was mid. The tzatziki sauce was bad, can't even call it tzatziki since didn't have cucumbers.

    best gyro I've ever had. hands down and I've been all over the middle east, Greece and Egypt. how do they do it? the service was a bit snarly but the sandwich made up for it. I'll be back snarly service or not!

    Andy N.

    The servers/chefs were friendly and the restaurant itself was fairly clean. I got a Schwarma plate, Choclava and Balava. The portions were sizable. In terms of flavor, the hummus, Greek salad, and rice were nice and flavorful. I wished the flavoring of the meat had more Mediterranean spices. The meat tasted and had a consistency similar to a herbed flavor sausage. Overall a solid experience. I would recommend getting a schwarma wrap as opposed to a plate as it's cheaper and you'd get all the flavors in one bite.

    Lamb and beef gyro plate and fries
    Trish H.

    Friends and I stopped by here for lunch after our classes and it did not disappoint! Service was friendly and quick. All ingredients tasted really fresh, I'd highly recommend the greek fries and the lamb and beef gyro plate! Portions were huge and I had plenty of leftovers. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some solid Mediterranean food that's quick and affordable!

Ambiance is awesome! Lots of people so make your reservations like us. We ordered a shared appetizer - pita bread and all 6 kinds of toppings hummus, tzatziki, and all they offer. Each one of us had an entree ranging from lamb burger, chicken, mushroom and lamb kebabs - all so good. It was so tender and tasty. Enough to fill us. Love it! So good! Kebabs were served on a hot plate. Nice presentation. Service was outstanding. Good attentive service .

This is a lively place, always filled with a lot of upscale looking customers. So the atmosphere is quite loud, but fun in a buzzing way. We were seated quickly, as we had reservations. Our server Charlie, was engaging, friendly and on top of things. We ordered the shared dips---olive tapenade, eggplant, hummus, tatziki with some warm pita triangles. They're all good and a fun way to start the dinner. We each had kebabs---lamb, chicken and mushroom. All good, moist and tender all poured with a jig of ouzo on a hot skillet. The onions in the bottom get browned and crusty, so good to eat. One had a lamb burger which looked juicy and served with delicious mound of fries sprinkled with rosemary. Food here has always been awesome. Skipped dessert as we had homemade cookies to eat at our next stop.

Highly recommend the three dip (current seasons is beet and it's my fav) with the flat bread. The flat bread comes out steaming. Trumpet mushroom is Smokey and juicy.

    We arrived on a Friday night at roughly 7:30 and there was already quite a wait. For a table for 3,…read morewe were told we'd have to wait for about 2.5 hours which we honestly were not thrilled to do. However after we expressed that we didn't want to wait that long, we were told that if we wanted outdoor seating they could actually seat us in less than half an hour. We chose the outdoor seating option and took a quick stroll in the quiet neighborhood before coming back. Our server told us that Homer's plates are meant to be family style and shared so their general recommendation is 1 large plate or 2 small plates per person. For us, we ordered the Set of top 3 spreads, lamb ragu on tahini and we were served with 5 pieces of warm pita. We also ordered Grilled Pork with Stinging nettles, raw albacore tuna with taramasalata, and smoked and shaved kohlrabi. Our server warned us that the pork was going to be on the fatty side but we were still surprised by how fatty it was. The spreads for the pita were amazing as usual-- their seasonal flavors taste amazingly fresh. Our table wanted to order more pita and when someone came by to take the empty plate they asked if we wanted more which we did let them know but even by the time we finished all the plates, we never got the additional pita so we just took it off. The Kohlrabi was an amazingly refreshing palette cleanser before the pork-- super light and refreshing. After we finished our meal we grabbed some soft serve from the window and wow, for 7$ it's quite a lot of ice cream! The flavors that were offered when we were there was Dark Chocolate and Kettlekorn. I sampled the swirl and the fusion of the saltiness of the kettle korn, the slight bitter and sweetness of the dark chocolate was immaculate. Final thoughts: very cool experience, inside I could see the open kitchen and the stone wood fired oven and the ingredients tasted amazing. However it is a little inconvenient that it's walk in unless you're a party of 6 since the lines and wait can get incredibly long. It's also difficult to find parking in the area. Very neat experience!

Yalla is a walk up window, and there are just a couple of benches right outside where you can eat, and according to other reviews you can also go to Montana Bar next door with your food. The menu is posted in a couple places right next to the ordering window, and it's pretty easy to parse. Almost everything there is what I'd consider a "portable food", meaning something you don't need a plate, fork, and knife to eat, which makes sense given that it's not a sit down restaurant. They have veggie saj, meaty saj, mezze, a few sides, and a dessert. I really like their concise menu. We tried the baba ghanoush ($9.5), which comes with saj on the side, a batinjan and labneh saj wrap ($12), and a halloumi grilled cheese (halloumi grilled inside saj, $13). As you can tell, the saj underpins everything at Yalla, and their saj is excellent. Warm, soft, flaky, and tearable, it is perfect for both dipping and wrapping and grilling. The batinjan and labneh wrap is bursting (literally) with tender grilled eggplant, a rich sauce, and tangy, creamy labneh. It is truly one of the most delicious eggplant dishes I've ever had. The halloumi grilled cheese definitely hits the spot, and is more filling than you think by looking at it. Baba ghanoush is so smooth and flavorful, and I love the pomegranate seeds on top! The folks who work there are super nice, very friendly, and food comes out quickly. Prices are very reasonable, and I will definitely be back to try some of their meaty saj! This place is going into my regular rotation, for sure.

This…read morewas exciting to me as I enjoy food from the Middle Eastern part of the world, and the entrees do look very enticing! We went on a Saturday around 2pm and it wasn't too busy at the takeout window. The restaurant is only takeout - there are benches right next to the takeout window, but there are only enough spots for 8 - 12 people (2-3 people per bench). The only other seating is at the nearby street seating offered by the neighboring bars, which I can see being restricted during peak hours. Parking can be very difficult if you plan on driving, there is only street side parking that is usually full, and nearby paid parking in lots. Service is fast, after we got our order, we only waited 5-8 minutes for our food. We got their recommended Soujouk (Beef) and Cheese Wrap for $16. The wrap is long, I would say about 13 - 14 inches long, and I can definitely seeing most people getting full after enjoying one of these. The flavors are nice and you can taste the spices from the sausage - I could taste cinnamon front and center with other earthy spices lingering in an aftertaste. The wrap is very decadent, the cheese is hearty and indulgent and that with the spiced sausage and textural difference with the cucumbers is pleasing. Do note with how indulgent this wrap is, you will accumulate a ton of oil in your wrapper as you enjoy it - a nap afterwards is in your future if you eat a whole wrap! I think that Yalla Seattle is a good stop to try these cuisines in a casual manner and the price is reasonable. There are some other items on the menu that kept my attention and I would totally revisit to try the other items offered by this restaurant.
