We tried this place for the first time, it's almost similar to Chipotle style and you can see all the ingredients. We ordered the beef and lamb shawarma wrap and the chicken shawarma wrap. As well as the baba ganoush. It comes on a cutting board with some sauces and pickles. The portion size is good, the lamb and beef was heavy on the lamb side and had a very strong lamb flavor which wasn't our thing. The chicken was not bad but the meat is a bit dry without the sauces. Baba ganoush was good and fresh, but unfortunately we found a hair in it towards the middle (maybe from the guys beard or mustache?). The service was nice and fast and it is basically a self serve type of sit down. The music was a tab bit too loud. Overall, if you want something quick this could be a good option. read more

Shawarma Time in Redmond Town Center is a solid Mediterranean grill serving all the classic dishes you'd expect. Big plus right off the bat: easy parking in the nearby garage. I was honestly blown away by the portion size -- they do not skimp here. The chicken shawarma was wonderfully spiced, flavorful, and cooked really well. Prices felt very reasonable for how much food you get, and the free hot tea at the end was a sweet touch (literally and figuratively). My only small downside is a personal preference: I don't like my food touching, and the to-go container was packed so full that food items that don't mix well for me were touching. If that doesn't bother you, this is probably a non-issue. After my visit, I saw their recent health inspection. The report listed several critical violations, including improper cold holding temperatures, cooking/reheating procedures, and handwashing. That definitely gave me some pause and is something I hope they address moving forward. Overall, the food itself was tasty and a great value and the staff was awesome, but the health inspection findings are important to consider. If they address that, it'll definitely be worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Shawarma Time - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Stopped by here with a friend since we were in the mood for this type of cuisine. There wasn't anyone inside when we arrived so we were readily received at the register. The person helping us was quick with the process, which I always appreciate. The inside of the store is pretty small but there are a couple of tables with some chairs if you choose to eat there. I liked how relatively clean it was. I ended up getting a lamb & beef gyro. They definitely stuffed that thing so there was plenty of food! My friend got the lamb and beef shawarma and I tried some of hers. I would say that both had great flavor with a decent blend of spices, but the meat was just a tad bit dry. Still a good spot though! read more

Cute little spot in Redmond town center. First time I try this place! The food was good and flavorful but the chicken shawarma didn't have the shawarma flavor that I'm typically used to. Portions are huge. The gentleman that worked there was friendly and helpful. Although there is a gluten free menu which includes wraps, when I asked for gf bread he said they didn't have any. Also, the salad on my platter didn't have any dressing...not sure if this was missed or if this how it's typically presented. My husband got the chicken shawarma sandwich and enjoyed it but also mentioned that the flavor wasn't quite what he was expecting. read more

Wow!! This place packed serious flavor. I have never had baba ganoush before. As far as my memory goes. The one I ordered with a pita bread from here: creamy and full of flavor! I would order this again. I also ordered the cauliflower wrap. Oh my God. Perfect refreshing vegetables and fried cauliflower. Tzatziki sauce makes it better. The whole thing was flavorful and filling. This meal made me not miss eating meat for dinner. For one time only. If you can do a really awesome job at selling me two vegetarian items for about the same price as a regular shawarma wrap? Count Me In! And you can bet, even though this place was a crammed (not with people) space, the food was well worth the wait. Don't skip it! Give it a try!! Two thumbs up! read more

Shawarma Time - Baba Ghanoush Pita Bread Cauliflower Wrap - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

4.5 Stars A small, casual spot in Redmond Town Center with authentic shawarma. I had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap ($12.95+tax) and it was spiced wonderfully (I even tasted cardamon!), was not too greasy, was filling, and very delicious. I watched them build it and they do NOT skimp on the protein! There's not much extras in the wrap - it is just simple with sauce, pickles, and protein. They are very quick too with making orders :) The staff is very kind. I would love to try their other items like their plates and salads with kebabs and falafel. read more

They do not skimp on portions at this place, so if you go in hungry you certainly won't leave that way! I went with 5 people, all of whom were very happy with their food! The people running Shawarma Time at the Redmond mall were also super friendly. It's a small place, so finding room to eat inside may be a challenge but while we were there, they did a solid carry-out business so I'm sure you can get it to-go and still be happy with your food. read more

Great shawarma spot! I had heard about this earlier and was going to check out the Seattle location, but I found myself a couple minutes away from it when I was in Redmond, I decided to finally try it out! And boy I was glad I did. I tried both the chicken and beef shawarmas they were both very good. I enjoyed the fact that they were sticking to the authentic way of making them using the saj bread and the basic toppings for each. No lettuce, no spinach, no feta cheese, or any other additions that people sometimes add in. Just stick to the basics, cause the basics were great! I will be back here again to have some more shawarmas! And I am curious to see how the other locations vary in quality as well. read more

I was teetering at a 3.5 or four, but the service was so good that they get 4. Located in Redmond town center with plenty of parking. This casual restaurant has two tables that can see parties of four with barstool seating. Order at the counter food comes pretty quick service is very friendly and knowledgeable. So why the four stars well the food was OK. I appreciate that. They have designated vegan food options clearly labeled, which is what I ordered. I thought my plate was good. The cauliflower is really good. The falafel's were OK. The baba ghanoush & pita was great, and the hummus was OK. Not sure if it was the olive oil that threw me off but it's okay. If you're looking for quick, vegan Halal or Mediterranean food in Redmond, this is a place to try ! read more

Shawarma Time - Vegan - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Solid Mediterranean grill in downtown Redmond. I have tried the Bothell location in the past ; but I wasn't that impressed. The offerings look similar - more or less the same menu. It's a small shop with limited seating. Ordered Beef & Lamb Shawarma, Chicken Shawarma and a Falafel super wrap. There were just staffs at that location and plenty of takeout and online orders. Time to get the food was longer than anticipated. The portion of the food was good. Shawarmas were spiced and flavorful. The meat was well cooked - juicy and tender chicken in the shawarma. Very impressed by the Falafel super wrap - Falafel wrapped in their saj bread with cauliflower, eggplant, pickles, mixed salad, lettuce, hummus a special flavored tahini sauce. Yum! Everything is great about this place. Loved the flavor and the portion of the food. Wait time is a little harsh. There are near by parking garages for convenient parking. Great place! read more

Wow! So tasty. More below. For anyone like me with tactile aversion and food (eg, stress from messy finger foods)...behold the wonders of their mostly perfectly wrapped and encapsulated falafel wrap! It didn't even start to break apart until the very end, and even then was manageable. Only a 1.5 napkin meal! Food: great flavor and texture, perfect ratio of ingredients-to-wrap. I only had the falafel wrap and will definitely be coming back to try more items! Also, I don't like pickles but actually like theirs! Service: Friendly! Fast! Don't be fooled by the simple storefront. This place is SO delicious and worth the walk or drive to Redmond Town Center. read more

Ordered shawarma time after a long flight home because they were open late, and I am so glad we did! This is one of my favorite shawarma spots in the area. It was so tasty. The only thing I missed was a hot sauce (they probably have it but I didn't see it on the doordash menu). read more

Good food, generous portions. Maybe too much garlic, but it tasted good. I wish it was garnished with pickled radishes instead of pickled cucumbers. The falafel was crunchy outside and tender inside. The chicken was tasty. The rice a bit greasy. Tiny place, a couple tables and a couple bar seats. Wish it had more seating. read more

- good chicken shawarma - Food: 4 stars Price: 4 stars Service: 3 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Overall: 3.5 stars I haven't had a shawarma or gyro for centuries, and for some reason I decided it's time to try this place with a high rating. It's a small shop that was previously Sharetea. The space is small inside and doesn't fit a lot of people, but it was just us dining at that time for a Friday lunch. My husband ordered the beef and lamb shawarma plate for $16.99 and I got the chicken shawarma for $12.95. The plate has more food and tons of rice, but I enjoyed mine more. With the sauce in the shawarma, the chicken wasn't dry and everything matched well. I also enjoyed the special blend of garlic sauce that it came with. It's definitely more on the yogurt/sour side. My husband's plate has tons of rice but the meat tasted dry, so I wasn't a fan. It might be a good value, but I enjoyed my chicken shawarma more. It's a perfect spot for a quick lunch or takeout orders. read more

A welcome sign of new restaurants coming up in RTC! It may be difficult to find this using the map but its on the road and not on the second floor! This is under the walk over bridge towards the old Macy, near the parking! We ordered the Chicken Shawarma which did not seem to have a fresh/made-in-the house pita, the chicken was juicy with pickles. also, bought Rice Bowl which had protein as chicken. The hummus with Pita was ok, the pita again wasn't fresh! it's a small restaurant which does not seem to have a restroom or don't think more than 10 people can stand inside. read more

Shawarma Time - Beef and lamb Chicken Shawarma Wrap combo - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

3.5 stars. There are 3 locations around Seattle. This one has been open since July 2024. The chicken shawarma was the tastiest and less dry than the beef & lamb. But both were good. I'm not sure why there are gluten free wraps on the menu because this location has none of them. They only had pita. So the GF options were the plate with rice and salad. read more

As some of the other one star reviews have indicated, the chicken was super dry. It almost had a canned tuna quality to it with how dry it was. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Quite a mixed bag here. First off their fries are the absolute best and pair so, so well with their garlic sauce. I'm going back just to get this. I'll throw a couple side falafel on top and I'm done. Superb. The salad was also juicy and fresh and a good add. So why a mixed bag? I went back and forth, 3 or 4 stars. The main reason was the meat just wasn't that good on its own. The chicken fries were great because of the fries and sauce but the chicken was fairly dry and didn't have much flavor on its own. The beef was even less flavorful (though not as dry) and the cauliflower was just OK (a bit dry and a bit under spiced). So after all that still 4 stars? Yeah, the sauce and fries are that good. Worth a visit at least. read more

I visited Shawarma Time on a Sunday for lunch and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the beef and lamb plate, and it came in a generous portion, more than enough for lunch. The pita bread was warm and soft, which made it the perfect vehicle for the flavorful meats. While I waited for my takeout, I enjoyed a hot cup of delicious tea. Seating was limited but was easy in and out for takeout. Everything, including the menu variety, freshness, and service was spot on. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Shawarma Time - Beef & Lamp Shawarma Plate - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

A nice addition to the RTC collection of restaurants. Fresh and flavorful gyro, really good fries. The restaurant itself is pretty small and meant for takeout. Minus one star for customer service though. I came in with my husband and neither of the two male employees wanted to make eye contact or regard me. They only spoke to my husband and when the bags of food came out, they would only hand them to him even though I extended my hand first. read more

Shawarma Time - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I truly want to say I like Shawarma Time. But I can't. The presentation looks promising. I like the thin Saj flat bread over pita breads for the wrap. The staff taking orders was nice (a lady). But that's where the pros end. Shawarma Time took over the tiny store front vacated by ShareTea which moved to a much larger place around the corner in Redmond Town Center. They stuffed two tables and a bar height table by the window into this space. It's doable-ish on nice days where spillovers can eat along the main RTC area. At all other times, I guess they'll rely on takeout only meals. Other than the cramped space, the restaurant itself is newly remodeled and clean. I didn't see a bathroom, so I guess one would use the mall bathroom. When dining in, the food is served on giant wooden paddles, even the wraps. These take up a lot of space on the counter table where we sat. Thank goodness, we were the only two there. And then they hand us these plastic utensils in plastic baggies. I was raising an eyebrow looking at these for dine-in. Did the reusable utensils not arrive yet? Or is this it long term? OR, they simply don't want people to dine in. They don't serve water. You must buy a beverage. The water is the lowest cost at $2 a bottle. I can tolerate all the above if the food is good. But... The Food: Beef & Lamb Shawarma Plate, $16.99 - 2 Stars The presentation, like I said, was good. Pita, meat on rice, hummus, salad arranged nicely on the platter. The meat was, however, dry. The meat shavings are too small, taking away from the meat texture. It's almost like eating grounded beef. Too dry was hubby's first complaint. His second complaint was the overall portion size is similar than our normal place by a good margin (with better meat). He regularly gets 1.5 if not 2 meals from our regular place. He was just 'ok' with this serving size and was asking about dessert as we leave. Disappointed. Beef & Lamb Shawarma Wrap, $12.95 - 2 Stars The dryness of the meat is not as obvious in the wrap. Tahini sauce and chopped tomato pieces kept the meat edible, even though I still don't like the texture, again too close to ground beef. My biggest issue is this wrap seems very oily. I rubbed the end all over the giant wood platter trying to smear the oil away. I tried to convince myself that's just the tomato juice oozing out or that's just the tahini sauce. No and no. It's definitely oily. I took a photo. Fried Cauliflower, $5.95 - 1 Stars Two other families who ordered after us received their takeout orders and left, before this sad little fried cauliflower with 5 pieces of cauliflower was delivered to our table. **FIVE** That's more than $1 for each piece of cauliflower. Were they running out of cauliflower so they padded our appetizer with lettuce? This is not called a fried cauliflower salad with tahini sauce. It is in the appetizer section call fried cauliflower, period. I assume they don't serve fries on lettuce. I have never seen fried cauliflower on lettuce before. So peculiar and so pathetic looking. What a rip-off. Minus 1 Star for the overall experience. read more

Amazing shawarma sandwiches and great service too. This is the only place in Washington State that serves an authentic shawarma. The Falafel and Humus are amazing too. I am so glad that we finally have a real shawarma place in Redmond. read more

The chicken shawarma wrap was amazing. Wrap was packed with chicken, easy to eat, not messy. I would get this again for sure. The Greek fries were heavy with garlic. If you LOVE garlic you will like them. The cauliflower side was meh. Stick with the chicken Shawarma you will not be disappointed. Restaurant was a typical take out place. Bright lights and a few seats if you want to eat in. Nothing special. Service was quick and staff is friendly. Price was reasonable for what you get. If you are nearby this restaurant it should meet your expectations. read more

Tasteless and soggy, pretty bad. Edible for sure, but hardly memorable. I'm sure there are many better places.

ok this place needs more HYPE. I was looking for a cheap, quick option for lunch that was vegan friendly and looking at the menu, I thought this would check all the boxes. Boy did it. When we got in, there was just one person taking orders, cooking, and serving but we didn't feel like it took too long. Probably got our food within 10 minutes? I ordered chicken fries and my friend got the falafel super wrap. Both were SCRUMPTIOUS. the portions were pretty large and the flavors were amazing. there is also free black tea that the owner makes with his own recipe that is so addicting. I swear I had like 4 cups. But I think what really should be highlighted was the service - I think the guy was probably the owner and he was just so kind and patient and friendly. We talked about his other locations and how everything tasted. I will DEFINITELY return, in fact this goes on my list of to-go places if I need something quick or if I want to bring a friend again! read more

We love Middle Eastern food and were excited to try this place. Overall, it's o.k. What they excelled in were the sandwiches mostly because of the bread they are wrapped in. The bread is nicely toasted and brings a lot to the table. The sandwiches are a bit on the small side, although the prices are very reasonable so that was fine. I wasn't impressed with the meat on my son's beef and lamb shawarma, but the chicken was good. I ended up eating the rest of my daughter's chicken shawarma. It helps that this one is served with amazing garlic sauce. My own sandwich was the standard vegetarian with falafel wrap. It was quite good, but when we tried the hummus and baba ghanouj (my husband ordered the mezze plate), we were quite disappointed with the flavor. The plate did come with nice salads though. The falafel on its own was average. Not amazing but fine. We will probably return for the sandwiches because the toasted saaj bread really works. read more

Shawarma Time - Gyro Fries - Kebab Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Food is great but the place is very small and not at all conducive to dining in. They have very small tables and have tried to cram in too many chairs. Making matters worse is that they have an AC blowing cold air at diners whilst it is 30deg F outside. This also ruins the food which is served piping hot but turns cold in 60 seconds in front of you. Their lone music speaker which hangs directly over the few small tables they have, blasts arabian music at a volume loud enough to make having a conversation with anyone across the table impossible. They do not have a restroom or even a sink to wash your hands. Great place for takeout but not much else. read more
