Based on all the reviews, I ordered the following for pickup:…read more1) Grilled Garlic Chicken Bowl 2) Tahini Beef Kufta Sandwich 3) Hummus Mezze PROS - The best saffron rice I have ever had, it was fragrant, buttery and full of flavor. The hummus was also unique; it had almonds and a very different texture than the traditional hummus. It's more creamy and dense. CONS - Unfortunately, the chicken is the driest chicken I have ever had. Some pieces were burnt and some pieces were just dry and chewy at the same time. The beef was also dry and for some reason, had pieces of chicken in the sandwich - which would have been a wonderful surprise if the beef and chicken wasn't so dry to begin with. In hindsight, maybe I should have asked for a side of garlic sauce but I don't think that would have helped with the unfortunate dry protein. For reference, I ordered on a Sunday evening so maybe it was a new chef or something? I also had to wait an extra 10 mins for my scheduled takeaway order because the cashier seemed new and there was only one person in the kitchen. So bummed, all the reviews made me excited to try this place out. Even though the rice and hummus are well done, I don't think I want to go back.

Their chicken garlic shawarma was so flavorful, and the falafel was crispy, fresh, and actually bigger than what most places serve around Seattle -- and thankfully not burnt lol like I've experienced in so many spots here. The tabbouleh was fresh and good, although the flavor was a little different from what I'm personally used to. I also tried their cheese croissant and omg... I completely fell in love with it. It was so light and airy that I ended up eating two! Not the super buttery heavy croissant style we usually see. This one had a sprinkle of zaatar on top and it was amazing. I don't think it's on their regular menu, but I highly recommend they add it soon because it deserves a permanent spot. I'll definitely be coming back very soon with my husband for breakfast!

Service was friendly and patient as we tried to make decisions and asked questions. I have a friend that kind handle chile spice due to medical condition they were very accommodating when it was needed by having certain sauces on the side. We shared a number of dishes and two bottles of wine. We started with the Hummus bil Lahm ou Snobar, my favorite dish of the evening a hummus with bubbling spiced lamb. Baba Ghanouj, Bisara Munir, Arnabeet, Alhalaioun and the chicken and beef Shish Taouk. Everything was delicious. Flavorful, the proteins were cooked perfectly nice and tender. One of our friends likes meat a lot and hadn't cause he thought it was a vegetarian restaurant. We had to have the green chile sauce on the side of the asparagus dish cause of my friend but that was ok we were putting it in other items we loved it so much. Also the whipped garlic that came with the chicken and beef was a big hit! We had never had Lebanese wine and enjoyed our selections. Love that it felt like a healthier meal with the vegetables and spreads. Didn't feel stuffed after but definitely satisfied. They even comped dessert for my friends birthday which I believe was an orange rose water pudding. Welcoming warm space. Parking is fairly easy on a Tuesday night. Looking forward to visiting again

Both were very flavorful and well balanced. Love the different textures. The roasted broccoli was OK, it was on the less cooked side The entree skewers were pretty good too. Shoutout to the kind service that let me combine and do half beef and half chicken because at the point I was too full from all the appetizers I ordered but still wanted to try both. One thing I really loved about the skewer is the sauces that came on the side: one tahini, one garlic, and one tomato. Such delicious sauces! Entrees were a little pricey though. Last but not least my party enjoyed the special Lebanese wine.

We were across the street and I remembered I was going to have Mexican the next day so we were looking for an alternative place when we spotted the sign for Blazing BBQ and decided to cross the street and try it out.

So she went with the chicken shawarma plate. I had the gyro plate. Generous portions and the meat was so tender. The sauces are delicious. We understood why they ran out of kebabs cause looks like they had just fulfilled a large order before us. You can tell it's a popular neighborhood spot.

We were the only diners, but there was a steady stream of take-out orders while we ate. My friend got the chicken kebab plate, I opted for a chicken shawarma rice bowl swapping half rice for salad, and we also ordered a side of falafel and hummus. Both of our main meals were exceptionally flavored. We were offered all the available creamy toppings. The garlic cream was divine. Beware the green pepper sauce - very very spicy. The falafel was the best I have had outside of New York. Crispy, flavorful, absolutely crave-able. The only thing that didn't quite hit it out of the park was the pita bread. I will 100% be back.

At first we sat a little away from the windows that open out to the street. Our waitress brought us menus and a bottle of cold water, and since I had already looked over the menu we ordered. It was a very warm day and the inside was a tad warm too. So we decided to move up to the front by the large open windows. We ordered two dishes. The veggie plate and the chicken shish taouk. Both were highly recommended on Yelp. The veggie plate came first and we shared. Greek salad, three falafel and three dolmas, plus baba ghanuge and hummus. Pita of course. We both really enjoyed the falafel. Crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. The salad was okay but I was not a fan of the dolmas. Oh yes, the baba ghanuge was delicious. Unfortunately when the chicken dish arrived, both of us were beginning to feel full. The chicken came on a bed of rice. The rice was wonderful. The chicken, although it had excellent flavor, was a little bit dry. We ended up taking most of it home. I'm glad we tried this restaurant. It's the kind of family run in our neighborhood restaurant that we want to succeed. If we return, I will definitely order the falafel plate, instead of the veggie plate. And we might also get an appetizer, just not another main dish.

Falafel was also fresh and cone shaped, made into that shape using an interesting stamp-like tool. Price was right too--the gyro sandwich and 2 falafel to go was only just over $13! Service was slow ngl, however, the old couple running the place were sooo cute I can excuse it. They were so friendly, warm, and nice; it gave off auntie and uncle vibes. Another customer in front of me must've been a regular because when the customer made conversation at the takeout window, I heard one of the workers go "We love you, John!!!"
