    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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 .

I got the classic smash with an extra patty. There's an obvious focus on quality ingredients, and overall the burger was enjoyable. The meat itself could be seasoned a bit more, so I'd recommend going with one of their more adventurous options to add some flavor. My biggest gripe has to do with the fries. $5+ is steep for the portion they're offering. Overall: 3.75/5

We ordered a couple of truffle mushroom smash burgers and a spicy lover's smash burger, and every single one was fantastic. They delivered exactly what you want from a smash burger: juicy patties with perfectly crispy, caramelized edges, all tucked into soft, toasty brioche buns. The buns were a standout - they held everything together beautifully and soaked up the juices without getting soggy. The fries were crisp and satisfying, rounding out the meal nicely. This is definitely a spot we'll be adding to our regular rotation.

Their menu may not have an all-you-can-eat option, however the serving portions and variety are more than enough. This KBBQ is located in the Redmond Town Center. Their dining space is spacious and perfect for large parties. Their menu features 3 types of combos. We were advised the small size comfortably serves 2 while the large is serves 4. We opted for the small mix combo which had the prime ribeye, beef brisket, king prime short ribs, la seasoned ribs, beef tail flap, pork belly, pork jowl, pork shoulder, and seasoned boneless short ribs. We also ordered a bottle of soju to share. The meats were beautifully presented. They also served an array of banchans including onion salad and lettuce. Service was amazing. Our server always checked in and offered to change our grill pan. Pricing was on par for the meat quality and amount that came with our order. We even ended up with a couple to-go boxes. Overall, I recommend this spot and will be returning to try out the other

Since my last review the restaurant has closed and reopened, and expanded their menu, to now include more dumplings and varieties of noodles. They also now have a very handy duo of ordering kiosks, which you order at prior to sitting down. I found their kiosks easy to use, which isn't always a given. This being my first visit back in a while, I had to get the spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles. However I had to try some dumplings, so we shared the lamb dumplings, while my dinner buddy had the spicy cumin lamb rice noodle soup (the same kind of noodles you'd get at a ten second yunnan noodle type of place). They also now have a complimentary side dish bar that has seaweed salad, peanuts, and kimci, as well as some condiment type things like scallions and minced garlic. I helped myself to some seaweed salad to nibble on while waiting for our food, and it was good although food comes out quickly enough that you don't necessarily have to rely on it unless you're really chomping at the bit. The spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles are just as good as I remember. The biang biang noodles here are perfectly chewy, and the rest of the dish has a lovely flavor aside from just spice. They're generous with lamb and cabbage which add a lot of textural variety to the plate. The lamb dumplings were the sleeper hit of the meal, filled with juicy, tender hunks of lamb surrounded by toothsome clearly hand-rolled wrappers. Absolutely do not skip the lamb dumplings. My dinner buddy really enjoyed her rice noodle soup with spicy cumin lamb, which I think would be a great option on a cold day. Everything is pretty much self serve here, so don't expect full service -- although they did stop by to refill our water once. The food here is so good, though, and prices are so reasonable, that I truly do not care that the experience is pretty bare bones otherwise.
