    Veggie plate
    Sophia B.

    This is a decent place to stop for a quick lunch or takeout while in Seattle. It's not mind blowing, but the gyro was nicely done with good flavors and ratios of items. Very large portions on everything so you'll have plenty of food no matter what you order. My biggest complaint is the hummus. It tasted like Sabra hummus you buy from any grocery store. I highly doubt it was homemade, which is a big disappointment if you're advertising yourself as a Mediterranean restaurant. I could be wrong of course, but it was indistinguishable from mid tier store bought Sabra hummus. The place seemed decently clean but I never saw employees wiping down tables when I was in there even though there were a decent amount of people in and out. Overall, it's okay. If you want a gyro, go for that and avoid spending your money on the hummus. The falafel on the veggie place was also solid.

    Pulled up for a late dinner on a Thursday night around 8:30 PM and there were consistent orders while we were there, but nothing that built up into a line. There's about 20 seats in the restaurant, but only four 4-tops if you're coming with a group. Vibes are casual where you order at the register and numbers get called. Overall, the food not bad, but nothing special for a shawarma spot. If you're not local to the neighborhood, I probably wouldn't travel out of my way for it. Crispy Shawarma (3.5/5): Chicken was just a tad overcooked, but the crispiness on the outside was nice, but the bread felt like pretty standard flatbread. Garlic sauce added some good tang and I did like the pomegranate molasses drizzle for a bit of sweetness. Knafah (1/5): This one was a big whiff for me. The kataifi crispy enough to stand up to the copious amount of sugar syrup on it. Not sure what flavoring was in the sugar syrup either, it was just way too floral and felt almost artificial. I love this dessert, but not this version of it. Greek Fries (4/5): A ton of feta cheese and garlic sauce over crispy, lightly battered fries. Not mind blowing, but a standard item done well.

    Finally tried the viral tiktok chicken crispy shawarma and it did not disappoint. The garlic sauce it comes with is delicious and the pomegranate molasses on top was fire. The portions are pretty big too. Highly recommend getting the combo and upgrade to greek fries!

    These days, for some reason, I have been really into Mediterranean food. Lately, I've been visiting many Mediterranean restaurants in the Seattle area to find the best one. Lately, I was recommended to try out Shawarma Shack in Capitol Hill. It is located right across from Seattle Central College, right in the heart of the Capitol Hill area. For those familiar with the neighborhood, parking can be a bit challenging. However, with a little patience, you can usually find a spot in a nearby garage or on the street after driving around a few blocks. Now, let's get into the most important part. The place looks pretty new and well-managed. There are plenty of tables, and the spacing between them is generous enough for my friends and me to enjoy our conversations while we eat. In terms of the menu, there are a lot of options including gyro wraps, shawarma wraps, platters, salads, and a variety of vegetarian dishes. For most menu items, you can choose a protein such as beef, lamb, or chicken. Offering vegetarian options is a big plus. To make the most out of our trip to Capitol Hill, we ordered the #1 Chicken Shawarma Combo and the #2 Beef and Lamb Shawarma Combo. Each combo is priced at $15.95 before sales tax and tip, and it comes with crispy French fries, sauce, pickles, and a canned drink. Our food was made fresh in the kitchen after we ordered, and it was brought to our table by the staff. Both staff members were very friendly and professional. As you can see in the photos I attached, the combo items are served in boxes so it makes easy to take food to go or save leftovers. The portion size was generous, and each wrap was cut in half, so my friend and I were able to share both the chicken and the beef and lamb wraps. When it comes to taste, the food was excellent. I am not exaggerating here... this is the best shawarma I've ever had. While I haven't had a lot of Mediterranean food, this is easily my favorite so far. Since we were both fully satisfied with our wraps, we decided to end our meal with dessert here. We ordered one baklava and one choclava. Wow! Do not skip dessert here!! It was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Shawarma Shack to anyone looking for flavorful shawarma and authentic desserts. I will definitely be back anytime soon to try their gyros.

    Falafel saj and Greek fries

    The falafel sandwich was really good and so were the fries. They got a little soggy and messy on the trip back home but a little microwave time fixed that. The portions are very generous here. I did take out and my order was ready in like 10 minutes or less so very efficient service. It's got a small dine in area that's a little lifeless, but clean and functional if you want to eat in. Will be back!

    Food was great, service was awesome- super quick and the guys there were friendly. Got both chicken and lamb/beef, definitely go with the lamb/beef shawarma. I'll definitely be back!

    10/10 Everything about this meal was 10/10 Quick efficient service, fresh ingredients and tasty food. I ordered the #1 Combo which includes chicken shawarma, fries, garlic sauce, pickles and a canned drink. I do wish they had straws to put in the canned drinks just because I am weird about drinking straight from the can (germs) but that's ok! The chicken combo was delicious, the fries are the best. The chicken shawarma was flavorful and full of fresh veggies, loved the sauce. The fries were so crispy and freshly made. The garlic sauce to dip was also next level. The packaging for to go is an extra bonus to this place, I love an easy grab and go. You will not regret coming here! I will for sure be returning this was a 10/10 without question.

    I have been searching for a really good Shawarma spot and I think I found it. Shawarma shack has really tender and juicy meats that are in the Shawarma. I had the beef lamb crispy Shawarma and my partner had the chicken crispy Shawarma. Both of us were very happy with the meats that we got. I really wanted to try the knafeh but they ran out. I was a bit hesitant after seeing mixed reviews that her wrap was actually a tortilla. When I was there, it was definitely was not a tortilla. I wonder if it was maybe a stock issue that they had. The order was super consistent and we even got some fries on the side. For being in Seattle, this place is priced well. The service took about 15 to 20 minutes to get the order out and it was a slower lunch day at about 1 PM. The vibes here are kind of like a fast food where it is to go. Or you take and find your own seat at a table. This is a place where I would come back to.

    Have been meaning to try this place for a while & am so glad I finally did! I got the shawarma platter & it was fantastic. Great portion sizes as well. On top of this, the service was incredible, and my food came out very quickly. Would highly recommend

    Went for the viral TikTok crispy shawarma, but it wasn't crispy, so that was a letdown. The chicken was seasoned well and paired perfectly with the garlic toum! The outside of the shawarma had a slight drizzle of pomegranate molasses, adding a sweet, tangy flavor! Overall, it was good, maybe don't advertise it as "crispy". Greek fries were delicious, highly recommend!

    I received a free combo meal for a customer appreciation day, which was really sweet! They were very nice and we had a great chat. It's a new place so I definitely want to see them thrive. Unfortunately, I received the wrong food and didn't realize it until I made it home to Fremont, so I didn't go all the way back to Cap Hill to try to fix it. I ordered a falafel wrap combo and got chicken. I don't eat chicken but I gave it to my partner and he said it was good. I was disappointed but it was free so oh well! The fries were good and I was a big fan of the garlic sauce. I also got baklava which was pretty good. I want to go back and try the falafel so I can make this a 5 star review. Definitely worth a try! The mural on the wall was really cool too.

    Tried this spot in their opening week to grab food for a picnic, the people working were really nice and fast. They even accidentally upgraded one of my friends order to a combo. Overall the food was good, I'd go back. I liked the choclava a lot, I ate it after my lunch and it was very warm and gooey after being the sun.

    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.

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!
