Restaurant Details

  • In Arabic, "mawadda" means the love that comes with friendship, and if that includes food (which it should), this place is bursting with it: The hummus is rich and nutty, the tzatziki has the ideal proportions of garlic and cucumber, and the gyros are a messy delight. The owner, Iraqi-born Rami Al-Jebori, claims to serve the best falafel in Washington and seems possibly correct—his falafel salad may be the perfect vegetarian meal.

The best I've had

I travel all around Seattle for work, and I try to try a new lunch spot everyday. This place has the best gyros I've ever had and the shawarma is amazing. And it's all cheap!

Falafel!

I had given up on good falafel in Seattle, but here it is! So light and moist inside with a perfect crispy exterior. Amazing. Call ahead or be prepared to sit for a while. With one chef in a small kitchen, food takes a while to prepare. I waited forever for a smallish take out order. Otherwise I recommend it wholeheartedly.

It's OK

I order the combo plate. I thought the meat was a bit dry and the portions were small. The ginger scented rice was good though. Gyros are ok, I've had better from Gyro World at the mall. He claims he's falafels are the best. They are pretty good but Omar Ky am's on Sunset in Renton has way better falafels not to mention their lamb with the garlic sauce is hella better than this place.

Quality, fresh lunch or dinner

Love this place. Great gyros and gyro plates - and if you're wanting to try something new just ask Rami for a suggestion. I've had several of the other plates and have never been disappointed. Don't miss the side salad that comes with the plates - the pomegranate dressing is addicting
