Best WLM Reviews

We shared the falafel plate. They were really good. The baba ganoush and hummus were also fresh and tasty. It might not be Istiklal Street, but it reminded us of a stop on the route from Izmir to Konya.
This is a hidden gem! Some of the best Mediterranean flavors I've had. Don't pass this spot up! The customer service was wonderful too ???? very friendly! Do yourself a favor and Try the Greek fries with the gyro
I often complain to my friends about food in America because it’s incomparable to back home. I absolutely love this spot! It’s halal and their flavors are rich, the lamb is spot on the prices are very reasonable and the workers are so lovely. Highly recommend it!
This used to also be a hookah shop and still has the fun atmosphere (in places)
The baklava was fire, I haven’t had better in Seattle, and the lamb was choice (and yeah the French fries even work), but the rest fell between mid and overpriced. $12 for 8oz of baba ghanoush is criminal, other places do it better for half.
I've loved all the food Zaina makes in any of its locations over the years. Best falafel I've had in Seattle, and great gyros and shwarma too. The employees are always friendly and fast.
Definitely siding with some of the other reviews, the place seems ok, but almost $20 for gyro fries when I can grab the same amount, or even a little more for $9 at some other places, kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Gyro fries are supposed to be quick and affordable, but at almost $20 bucks I can go with something else. Reviews never seem to benefit most people these days, nor do the restaurants take it to heart. Nothing is more annoying or disappointing then small businesses gouging prices, but I doubt this will help anyone else, and the prices will still be the same, so I will be my only time to purchase from here, I would rather drive a few extra minutes to get something that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
My negative comment is only related to the food. The staff were very friendly and the place is a cool place.
My wife ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich and I ordered a lamb shawarma sandwich. In both the chunks of meat were cut in too large of cubes and were dry and lacking in flavor. Even the sauce was lacking flavor. I'm used to shawarma where the roast the meat on a rotisserie and make thin shavings then then get grilled and reseasoned.
We also ordered baklava and I found that it was dry and needed more honey, the flaky dough was dry and not what I'm used to.
The food was a disappointment for both of us.
This was my first time trying something new and true authentic Greek food and man I was not disappointed!!! I got the chicken shawarma which was phenomenal!! with the potatoes and veggies. My mom got the chicken gyro which was really yummy as well! Their sauce is super good!! If your looking for something new and different!! You need to visit this place
