gyro plate on top and shawarma plate on bottom
Kelly L.

It was delicious. Sunday lunch at a new place I hadn't tried before and the gyro plate and shawarma plate were pleasingly portioned with good presentation. Service was warm and friendly, food was fresh and I could see the meat being sliced off the rotating rotisserie. The interior is more spacious than it seems from the outside. The place was kept very clean. The man who was working to prepare and serve the food gave off this cheerful sense of earnest hospitality. Both the gyro plate and the shawarma plate were great picks.

Chicken Rice Bowl
Gargi R.

Stumbled upon this place as I was looking for a restaurant open after 9 pm on Sunday night. I was greeted by the friendly server when I walked in. I ordered the chicken rice bowl. It was ready in 5 minutes. It was super delicious, with juicy chicken pieces, fresh veggies and basmati rice. The garlic sauce served with it was top notch.

Beef and Lamb Gyro

My daughter and I visited Shawarma Time for an early dinner celebration! Neither one of us had been there before! It was such a wonderful place with incredible food and I was pleasantly surprised at how much room there was! Plenty of seating for everyone, wheelchair accessible, parking right out front if you're lucky enough! Ahziz was such a delight and an incredible cook! As well as the owner, Moh'd! I'm positive all the cooks are amazing! The ambiance was quiet at the time and roomy and the restaurant was clean and brought back wonderful memories of my visits to the Middle East. We will definitely be going back and bringing lots of friends and family in tow!

Chicken Tikka Kebab
Nikita S.

My review is based solely on a pickup order. I ordered a chicken kebab platter, and I was pleasantly surprised by the rice and salad--they were quite good. However, the chicken was a bit dry for my taste. Overall, it was okay. I would consider going back, but only if I didn't have other options.

We didn't mean to come here but since the place we were going to were closed for the holidays we came here since the reviews were good. After they gave us our plates I said: No wonder the reviews r good. The presentation is awesome; the fries were to die for, the Chicken Shawarma is so good. I recommend it!!! The salad on the Rice Bowl is also amazing, so refreshing. It's very cozy and I will come back again!

Pita
Deryck D.

The falafel are A) fantastic and 2: so small. The chicken tikka kebab was the next best thing and is good. The lamb & beef wrap was just OK. And bringing up the rear was the beef kebab. The pita doesn't really merit rating it by itself but I will say it worked with the falafel and kebab just fine. The falafel reheat well and were still v good the next day. Everything else - save the pita - was noticeably worse.

Falafel Wrap
Karishma A.

-**vegetarian review** I discovered shwamara time randomly when another place I was going to was closed. And boy how lucky was I. I love the food here! It's well priced, good proportions, lots and lots of vegetarian options. I love the falafel platter, falafel wrap, the spinach cheese pie, Zafar bread etc. I go to their UW location a lot for takeouts!! Highly recommend

Chicken Shawarma Salad
Samantha B.

The service was friendly, the food came out fast and was really delicious and beautifully presented on a wooden board. I will definitely eat here again.

Lovin' every bite

It really doesn't look like much when you look at Shawarma time, but the food hits the spot. Shawarma time seems to be a small chain which is fine, it's described as "Mediterranean grill serving classic plates. Best shawarma in town, as well as Kebabs, Falafel & Hummus, and Manousheh is the big hit." I haven't tried all of those things, but I can confirm the chicken shawarma, the name that may attract you inside is good. The ordering process was alright, on my particular visit they seemed a bit overwhelmed, but they have table service which was nice. The shawarma is wrapped in Saj bread with pickles, tomatoes and roasted garlic sauce. I think they went a bit too much with the pickles and not enough garlic sauce but there was plenty of chicken and it was well wrapped. If you're looking for quick Mediterranean food, then check out Shwarma Time.

Beef and Lamb Gyro
Yuka B.

Came here hungry after the Ballard Farmers market and boy was it the right choice. Hefty beef & lamb gyro for under $11 in Ballard is unbeatable. The man who helped me was very kind and food came out in about 5 minutes. If you're in the area stop in for quick, yummy, and affordable Mediterranean food :)

See all

This place is always good. We often get the Hummus Bi Lahma, any of their gyros or kababs. Never disappoints.

Food was very salty and the chicken shawarma -nothing on it except a sliver of pickle and no lettuce or tomatoes . Not worth the price .

This is one fantastic restaurant! The space is large, clean, and the staff are very friendly…read more The food is absolutely amazing and delicious bite after bite. Started with Dolmeh which I have never had warm. It was Fantastic! Opted in for the Kings Feast with salad instead of rice. It was plenty to share and the flank steak was juicy and tender, the chicken was flavorful and not dry, and the kubadwa was well seasoned. The baklava was a perfect dessert to wrap up the meal. Will be back again to try more meals.

I Rating: 2 out of 5 I'd almost give this place a three, but…read morethere were a few major issues. When we first walked in, the smell was overwhelming -- almost like a septic tank. It lingered throughout the whole restaurant, and I'm honestly surprised anyone could sit through it. There were only two other tables filled, which probably explains why business seemed slow. On the positive side, the food itself was decent. The kebab khobideh was easily the best thing we tried -- it came out hot and tasted freshly made. We ordered several other dishes, but most of them were lukewarm, like they'd been sitting out for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see tahdig on the menu -- they gave us a generous portion for only $12, which was a nice touch. Service was very good; our server was attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about our experience. Unfortunately, the aesthetics of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. The bathroom and walls looked run-down, and overall it didn't feel very clean or inviting -- definitely not a good spot for a date night. If you're craving Persian food and don't mind a rougher atmosphere, they do have a nice selection, and the ghormeh sabzi was good. But overall, this place needs some serious attention to cleanliness and upkeep before I'd consider coming back. We walked at. 200 dollar bill. That hit us 4 entrees and 3 appetizers with three lemonades. The quantity was good.

I am so sorry to hear that Kabul Afghan Cuisine is closing. I became a big fan during COVID, but…read morerecently went here is person when I heard the owners were retiring and they were going to close. The restaurant is comfortable (but if you are to go before they close, get there early because lines are long). Service was friendly and great. For appetizers, we had Bolani (potato turnovers) and Burta (eggplant and garlic). Both were unique dishes are really delicious, everyone in our party loved them and they were gone quickly. However what I love and will miss so much are the kabobs. I leaned to the lamb, but often got the steak. They were always cooked perfectly with just the ideal combination of spices. Really delicious. They will be missed.

Kabul Afghan Cuisine absolutely blew me away. I came with my friends, a party of 5 so we had to…read morewait about 10-15 mins but it was 10000% worth it. We shared a bunch of appetizers: bolani, burta, and the mushroom qorma. Burta was my fav but every single dish was so flavorful. For my mains, I got the murgh kebab.. the chicken was so tender and well-marinated but the flavored rice stole the show for me. Also the place feels super authentic, cozy, warm, not trying too hard, just real. And the owner was hilarious, so witty, and made the whole experience feel extra special. You can tell he cares and it shows. Now the saddest part: I just found out this restaurant has been around for decades and is closing forever soon. Truly heartbreaking! I really wish I'd discovered it sooner. If you've been meaning to go, don't wait. This spot is a gem and def deserves a visit before it's gone. FYI, it closes on Jan 3rd 2026!
