“ Maybe the best chicken shawarma I've ever had! It's a tiny (seriously, there's barely room to move!) walk up spot at Pike Place, and the food was incredibly flavorful and well-spiced! ”
“ OMG, the gyro sandwich/wrap is so good! Tender meat, grilled that added some crispy bits (my favorite flavor...lol) The owner was so nice, brought my food out and picked up my garbage after too. I love that their menu has several great choices shwarmas, gyros, and falafel, of course, but not too many so they can do them all well. I would have taken a picture, but I ate it all so fast. I can barely wait to go back for another gyro. ”
“ Good food at decent prices. Everything else is over priced. Try the chicken shawarma sandwiches. They are bursting with flavor with a good amount of spice to wake up your taste buds. ”
“ Quick hole in the wall place for my Mediterranean fix. It's right behind Pike Place Market, and it isn't hard to miss. Ordered Falafel Sandwich and it was so good. No place to sit inside the Cafe, there are outdoor chairs if one wants to eat at the restaurant. ”
“ Great outdoor seating, friendly service, and delicious fries! I overheard another customer say "this is the best shawarma I've ever had." Definitely stop in to try it! ”
