The food tasted like home cooking, which is the highest compliment I can give. Portions were huge, the place was spotless, and everything just felt right. We recently moved here from California and have been on a mission to find our new go-to spots. This one just shot straight to the top of the list. We're a serious foodie family, and this place delivered on every level. Can't wait to go back!

The service was a bit slow, but our server was incredibly kind and apologized for the delay by bringing us complimentary falafel plates, which we really appreciated. It was a thoughtful gesture that made the experience much better. One thing to keep in mind is that the portion sizes are quite generous, so it's easy to share dishes. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so I'd recommend making a reservation, especially during busy hours. Overall, a nice place with tasty food, generous portions, and warm hospitality

I have been to Bella Balducci's twice at the time of this review, and would definitely go back. Went around lunchtime for both visits and there was no wait time to get a table each time. Parking for the restaurant is easy - there are plenty of parking spaces in the front of the restaurant as it is located in a small shopping plaza. The dining area is small and cozy, I would say probably 3 middle tables and 6-8 side booths. Service was fast, we got all of our food in 15 minutes. Out of the items on the menu, I'll review the Soltani Platter ($28) which I got multiple times. The platter itself comes with a simple salad with olives and dressing - they do go a little bit heavier on the dressing for my personal preference, but it is tasty and sets up as a nice appetizer for the main entree. The is a sizable platter with minced beef kabob and marinated steak - I would say enough to feed two people comfortably. There is a whole half raw onion, which I haven't seen before, that you use to help cut through the fat and richness of the meats. The meats are very flavorful and tender and super enjoyable to eat. The flatbread they give you with the platter is very thin, but serves as a great vehicle to transport the meat and herbs. The interesting thing is, there is no sauce or dip like tzatziki or baba ganoush to hide behind, so the full glory of the meat is the only thing you will experience. I think that Bella Balducci is refreshing restaurant to experience in the Kirkland area, and that I would totally come back to try the other options on the menu. For the price, quality, and quantity, you can definitely feed multiple people with enough exciting options to try!

The kefta was noticeably undercooked, and the chicken was burnt and dry. Unfortunately, one of us became sick and ended up throwing up after the meal, which was very concerning. The staff were welcoming and polite, but they didn't seem genuinely happy. While they were professional, the overall energy felt a bit flat. Great food often reflects the passion and enthusiasm of the people preparing and serving it, and I hope the team can rediscover that spirit because it really makes a difference in the dining experience. I hope this was just an isolated incident because I've had many good experiences here in the past. I'm sharing this feedback in the hope that the restaurant pays closer attention to food preparation and quality control so other customers don't have a similar experience.

I had the beef souvlaki plate and the beef was perfectly cooked. The tzatziki sauce was amazing. The side of fries we also ordered were crispy and loaded with garlic. Turkish coffee was so strong. The food took a little while to come out. Maybe 30-45 minutes, but we had a big group of 15+ and the restaurant appears to be family owned with a small amount of staff. If it was just a small group, the food probably would have came out faster. The woman there was so nice and friendly and was very accommodating with our requests! Highly recommend stopping by if you are a fan of Mediterranean food.

My friend kept talking about how amazing their food was, and now I completely understand why. I would honestly rate it 100 out of 10.

I also ordered Persian tea, which was rich and aromatic, and they kindly served it with rice cookies that paired perfectly with the tea. The atmosphere and hospitality made the experience even better. I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely come back the next time I'm in Washington.

The service was super quick and the flavor and quality of ingredients are excellent. The price is reasonable at $16.99 and the portion is generous. They ask if you want to dine in or take out but they are both served in a to-go container with the only difference being you either get a bag or a tray. :) One improvement suggestion would be to provide sriracha hot sauce as many other similar businesses do. Overall I recommend this place for an affordable, delicious, quick meal with no frills.

Zeitoon opened in downtown Kirkland many years ago, replacing the Central 21 Steakhouse. Much of…read morethe interior still has the original dark room steakhouse décor. The center area hosted a huge group with multiple tables pushed together. I have avoided Zeitoon all these years because they are higher cost, not necessarily justifiable since there are lower cost Persian foods or similar Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I finally decided to try them. Our server answered my questions, including his favorites. Two questionable/sketchy things happened: 1. Our server recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, which he said is great with the optional soft-boiled egg. Sounds good. We ordered it. The optional egg is $2, which is not identified on the menu. (See photo) 2. When he recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, we asked him to remove the Mast O Khiar which we initially chose. I said we only want one appetizer. He nodded and said OK. When the Mirza Ghasemi arrived, so did the Mast O Khiar. They put both on the table and immediately left. I flagged the original server to remind him we said to remove it, but a different person showed up instead. He: "You want to cancel this? No problem." and took the yogurt away. I did not order this; it is not me canceling. Minus 0.5 stars from overall rating. The Food: Mirza Ghasemi + egg, $14 +$2 - 2.5 Stars This eggplant dish is the one recommended by our server. We do enjoy eggplant dips, especially warm versions. The optional "soft boiled egg" is not an American version but tiny threads of yellow egg bits mixed within the eggplant mixture. Honestly, we cannot taste the egg. It is borderline a scam. This dish would be 3.5 stars if it was $14 at the menu price, which is already on the high side. A $16 eggplant dish is delusional. Lamb Shishlik Kebab, $36 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Lamb rack marinated and chargrilled (see menu photo) I knew I would not see a rack of lamb on my plate. I got four lamb chops. Meat quality wise, this is excellent. It comes with a ton of basmati rice and a salad with a refreshing light dressing. This is a bit spendy for the quantity of meat, but taste is good. Soltani Shishlik, $42 - 3.5 Stars This is the exact same dish as above except add a skewer of grounded beef kebab. This kebab, and I quote my hubby, is "not that good". Same comment for the rest of the dish. A basket of lavash bread arrived at the table. I believe it came with the Mirza Ghasemi. We have eaten many lavash breads, commonly used as wrap so it is grilled and/or heat-pressed with oil on the surface. These lavash breads are simply warmed. I learned they taste terrible that way. The surface has a sandpaper texture and still taste like sandpaper when eating it. If I paid for this separately, I would be upset.
