I walked out hand-released into a new dimension of flavor, texture, and spiritual clarity. The moment you enter, the scent alone performs a full-body hand release on your soul. Cardamom, sesame, and dreams swirl in the air like edible incense. The décor? A cozy blend of Anatolian charm and deli swagger. I felt like I'd been hand-released from Seattle drizzle into Istanbul sunshine. Let's talk food: * The simit? A sesame-crusted halo of joy. One bite and I hand-released my skepticism about circular carbs. * The börek? Layers of pastry so delicate, I whispered "hand release" with every chew. * The lamb pide? A canoe of savory perfection that hand-released me from all previous notions of pizza. * And the baklava? Oh sweet mercy. It was a honey-soaked hand release into dessert nirvana. I considered legally changing my name to Pistachio. Non-Turks, non-locals, non-delicates--this place is for YOU. Turkish Bakery & Deli is a hand release from bland sandwiches and sad pastries. It's a flavor embassy where every bite is a diplomatic mission of delight. You don't need to know what sucuk is. Just trust the spice and let the hand release happen. The tea? Served in tulip glasses that practically chant "hand release" in Turkish. I sipped, I sighed, I forgave my ex. The staff? Warm, witty, and fluent in the language of joy. One of them hand-released a tray of delights onto my table and I nearly proposed. Go. Eat. Hand release your palate. Let Turkish Bakery & Deli show you what flavor diplomacy really means.

Gyro House -- Absolutely Wonderful!…read more I have to tell you, Gyro House is absolutely wonderful! I loved this place from the moment I walked in. The vegetables were some of the freshest I've ever tasted. Their cucumbers were amazing, and those black olives were delicious! The meat they put in the gyro -- I'm not even sure if it's lamb or what -- but whatever it is, it is wonderful! Their French fries are great, their rice is delicious, and their chicken tastes like somebody put it in some amazing spices before cooking it. Everything had so much flavor! But let me tell you what really stood out to me: that Greek yogurt they put on top with the cheese is AMAZING! I could go back just for that! The employees were wonderful too. They made me laugh, had smiles on their faces, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant was super clean, and they have great parking, which is always a plus. This is one of those places where you leave thinking, "I can't wait to come back!" Gyro House, you've got a new fan! I loved this place, and I'll definitely be returning. Five stars from that review lady on yelp

So freaking good! We were looking for dinner after coming…read moreback from a Seattle Game on the light rail and this place was nearby. The food is Polish and Ukrainian. The owner, Adam, was super kind and attentive. He brought us complimentary house made pickles while we waited for our food. They were juicy & crisp. The Special was a cabbage rolls, which I said I didn't really like. But he brought us one to try and OMG! What the heck?!?! The textures, the flavors, I could not believe how much I liked them and will be making the drive for those. We got the shawarma and the potato perogi. Our toddler especially loved the perogi. It's comfort food that does not make you feel heavy/bloated. The flavors were spot on. I have not had any food like this in the south Puget Sound and am so excited it's here. Do yourself a favor and come here. It was also super clean. And again, Adam was so kind to our child and regularly checked in. The previous reviews make it sound super hard to find, but it really was not. It is in the same building as the palace spa, you just go all the way to the right of the building and up the stairs. You go straight through the room inside and to the right (you don't need to take off your shoes like the sign says, that's for the spa) and the restaurant is down a tiny hallway (see pictures).

Hard to find, worth the effort…read more Federal Way is known for it's Korean Food, both in quantity and quality. What Fed. Way is not known for is it's Polish/Ukrainian food. Seeing one with great reviews, my wife & I decided to try it. And we failed. Not the food failed, we just couldn't find it. We knew it was in the stripmall that had the equally difficult to find (and excellent) "Underground Kitchen". The address was that of the Palace Spa, a giant Korean spa. Later with knowledge Pal Man was in the Palace Spa building we tried again. And failed (again). 3rd try we discovered we needed to go up the large staircase on the right-outside wall of the building. If this sounds like climbing a fire escape you've got the picture. At the top was a conference room for the spa. However, the proprietor of Pal Man came out of a side door and said "Go around the corner to get it. It's a little hassle but it's worth it." Way too much intro? Yes, but you need to know how to find Pal Man. And "it's worth it": The food: 1) Best Borscht I've ever had. Amazing broth with lots of shredded beets, carrots, potatoes and chunks of pot roast. Seasoned with parsley, dill, garlic. Came with a side of fresh bread and slices of ham. 2) Chicken Shawarma: That's their label for it - I believe technically it's a Dürüm Döner. Like Germany, Poland and Ukraine have adopted the Döner as the street food of choice. Roasted meats with cabbage, carrots, pickles (it works, really) nicely dressed and rolled and grilled together in a Pita. 3) Georgian Khinkali. From the menu description "Dumplings with juicy beef & pork filling. Rich broth inside". My wife loved these, I asked for the details of the filling but it's a family secret - it's a mint/parsley mixture in the filling (I think). A few other notes on the establishment. This is a small family place and it's somewhere between a Spa restaurant and the proprietor and his wife's kitchen table. We felt at home - make sure to ask for the hot tea with honey while they prep the food. It's freshly made so a 20+ minute wait on some items. And go hungry, the portions (especially the shawarma) are huge!
