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.

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 :)

I was in Seattle for a week for work. Flight was delayed, landed really late Got some food delivered from here late night . Two gyro salads and two pitas. Food was outstanding. One of the better gyro places that i have been to over the years. Definitely going to hit them up again before i leave

Affordable and fast shawarma! This casual spot in Ballard doesn't skimp on the portions. I recently tried the shawarma time salad bowl with chicken. It came with a lot of chicken, salad, hummus, pickles, olives, feta and a white sauce. It was a very filling, low carb tasty meal. The chicken was seasoned well. Also I got my order to go and it was ready pretty quickly.

This place is on Market Street, and it's got a cool vibe with traditional Arabic decor. They've got great seating options too. The staff is super friendly and they even cook the food right in front of you. The presentation is amazing, and the taste is delicious. Plus, the prices are pretty reasonable. It's a hidden gem for halal food lovers. Definitely check it out if you're craving a shawarma wrap!

Their foods were quick and good for that price. Service was amazing! They served a plenty of foods, were friendly, politely explained about their menu, and offered to cook gyros although it was out when we ordered them. We ended up getting fries with chicken, which was great. Ambiance was so nice. Plenty of tables and also you can see the traditional tea pots. You can go in by yourself or with your friends. You can use it for a casual date as well.

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.

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!
