    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.

    The chicken shawarma here is perhaps the best I have tried in Redmond area. 4 start is because the ambience is not that great. Otherwise food is really great. Service is pretty quick too.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 !

    Shwarma Time is a small easy to miss place in Redmond Town Center. Do not miss out on this sleeper. The friendly greetings from the staff, cleanliness and the delicious large portion reasonably priced food can't be beat for a quick lunch dinner. I was blown away by the size of my chicken shwarma plate! I will be back for sure.

    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!

    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.

    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).

    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.

    - 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.

    3 decades of loyal dining at the Old Mediterranean proves how amazing the food is here…read more OK, when I need a blast of garlic throughout my body the Mediterranean Kitchen is my pit stop... A friendly greeting as I walk into the establishment which is always welcome. A bowl of hot soup comes quickly after taking a seat... Pondering through the menu which I know by heart I order either the Shish Tawook, which is charbroiled tenderized chicken served over rice with a garlic sauce, YUM. However if that's not grabbing me I get the Kafta Kabob served over Yellow Rice, Hummus, Salad and Pita Bread to scoop up all those flavors. Occasionally I have the best of all world plate which is The Combination Plate featuring the Kabob Kafta kabob, Shish Tawook and lamb kabob charbroiled with tomatoes and onions. Now if that does not excite you nothing will... The place can get a rocking loud cause it's not huge but it has all the comforts of a big loud family meal. Parking is limited so be patient but the food is worth it 1000%.... And bring some mints cause it's a garlic night out...

    The stars on this place is spot on!…read more Man it was so close to perfect. First the service is really good. I think the owner honestly loves the food that gets served and that translate to really good food. I was amazed at the flavor profile. I loved the vibrant taste and extravagant use of garlic in al the dishes. We even brought our 1 year old here and she loved a lot of the food even some of the more flavorful ones. I think I can echo that some of the grilled meat can be a little dry or rough. I do think that might just be the cut of meat that is used and maybe that's how it might taste? But I have faith that with some different meat cuts those can come out a lot juicier. Even at 4 stars, I do suggest anyone reading this to go check this place out. Its definitely a party of flavors.
