    Arabic Chicken Shawarma Buzz + side of French Fries
    Ethan C.

    We were told this place was all the BUZZ from some residents of Magnolia so we gave it a try for a Tuesday dinner. We ordered the Arabic Chicken Shawarma Buzz and a side of French Fries. The first thing I noticed was how long, girthy, and heavy this shawarma wrap is!! A 12-incher (according to the menu), it's as long as my forearm and weighs enough for me to get my daily bicep workout in. For only 10.49$ (at the time of this review) you get a ton of food! The tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and pickles inside all tasted fresh and added that freshness and crunch. The chicken shawarma itself is tender and tasty, but could use more seasoning -- they are pretty big chunks of chopped chicken, so there is only a relatively small area of where seasoning was applied on the surface. The garlic and tahini sauce adds that Mediterranean flavor, but was a little too watery and dripped/leaked a lot out of the wrap. I do like how the tortilla is grilled (or panini pressed?) so that it's warm and more structurally sturdy to hold everything together inside. The French fries were SUPER crispy and well-seasoned. The workers were also very friendly and welcoming. Overall, for the quantity and quality of food you get this place is of amazing value and we'd definitely come back!

    I just moved to the area and this place will now be a weekly go to! My bf and I ordered the lamb and beef shawarma salad -- the portion was huge (very generous with the meat) amazing sauce (one scoop of hummus and one scoop of garlic sauce) and great flavor. All the veggies tasted fresh. I got a pita on the side and it was soft & doughy! The baklava for dessert was moist and flaky - it was all so good. The space is clean and the customer service is fast and kind. We called and it was ready within 10 minutes.

    This was my first time in and I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate to go. Gentlemen working the front were attentive, very kind, and fast! There were probably a good 3-4 people who ordered right before I did, but I was out within 12 mins of ordering. Got home and the container had been carefully+beautifully packed. Huge portion that fed my wife and I comfortably! Fantastic neighborhood gem.

    The Greek fries are reliably bomb. Hands down best fries in seattle by a mile. I came here with my family of four and everyone is happy

    Three of us shared four dishes and one soft serve was the perfect amount of food…read more Everything was super yummy and fresh. 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. Lamb comes in braised form and kebab both really good The soft serve swirl has the perfect texture and flavor. Would come back again!

    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!

I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side. My partner got the falafel saj wrap which was overall ddcent, but he also found the saj bread quite soggy, yet the falafels were on the dry side.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb. Tip: grab some extra napkins as the wraps can fall apart a bit at the end!
