Best Persian restaurant in WA So far. Will go over and over again. Wondering if there are take out services available during COVID? read more

High quality Persian food made with fresh ingredients and perfect seasoning. Very tender and juicy chicken kabobs. Cauliflowers and the Dolmeh were also worth coming back for. The portions are huge. Definitely an excellent place for quality Persian cuisine read more

Delicious, authentic, and organic. Just had our first visit tonight at 6pm with dear friend .Ordered Pomegranate chicken stew (Fesenjoon comes with white basmati rice ), ground red meat kabab (2koobideh) also comes with Basmati white rice, and Salad (Shirazi salad) ($59). Large portion, enough to save 1 extra meal for my friend lunch tomorrow. Pleasant, casual (paper plates), clean (including restroom). Finally ordered 2 saffron rose water rice pudding for dessert (sholeh zard) to take home ($20). Mrs. Bibi was professional, welcoming and wonderful chef. Highly recommended, will be back again. read more

So good! I'm telling you the Kabobs were amazing, so tender and seasoned to perfection! Excellent food, reasonable prices. I tried the chicken, beef and ground beef Kabobs. Turkish coffee with cookie was a great way to end the meal. I will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food at Bibi. Healthy portions and tasty plates. We had chicken and falafel and loved them both. Cozy and clean inside and covid friendly. Will definitely come back again. p.s. lots of food delicious traditional homemade food, totally worth the price~ read more

We ordered takeout from here recently. Food was delicious. We got the falafel and chicken and pita/hummus. Will definitely be back.

Covid being what it is, I'm really hesitant about trying places I haven't been. That being said, I have no regrets about getting takeout from Bibi's. The space is clean and they're practicing good healthy hygiene and social distancing. But best of all is the food. 10/10. The falafel platter--I'm not kidding when I say the falafel was the best I've ever had. I think they saturate it with tzaziki sauce. My partner had the chicken kabob platter and said it was amazing. If you're in Kirkland, go to Bibi's. It's fantastic. read more

Absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend! We ordered for curbside pick-up for the first time yesterday, and the food was absolutely amazing, and the service very friendly. Of the items we tried, I would highly recommend the Chicken Kabobs and the falafel plate. Everything was spiced to perfection, and all the flavors blended very well together. They also packaged all of the food very nicely. Thank you for the wonderful food and service! read more

Best home-style persian food. Perfect take-out option during the COVID pendemic. Great environment. Friendly owener/staff. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I stumbled into this out of the way Kirkland restaurant and now it is our absolute family favorite. When our kids come into town they insist we come to BiBi. The food is fresh, with enormous portions. The flavor is out of this world. It feels like you have been invited into the owner's home. She always sends us home with a dessert, or extra special treat that we didn't pay for. read more

Pretty solid choice for Persian food. Bit pricy, but the portions are huge. Stews, kababs, rice w crispy bottom bits. Pretty amazing.

So excited to have this place in town! Delicious, high quality, Mediterranean food. I particularly love that they have Iranian/Persian food. It's not your average fast-food Mediterranean place with shawarma and gyros. The food is made with love and high quality ingredients. I'm a Kirkland native and so excited to have this place as a great lunch option! read more

BiBi - Mediterranean Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

It is our go to for quality food - clean ingredients, good variety, nice portions. We were told to come here by other Persians. They also accommodated our dietary complications very easily (AIP, GF, DF, nightshade free, etc.), so we are so happy to have them as a regular stop read more

Maybe just ok for a one time try. The so called "buffet" offers only 2 or maybe 3 types of main dishes. The buffet is barely kept warm. They put a lot of effort into making delicious dishes, but don't do a good job in maintaining the food fresh and warm enough to be served. The chicken kabab was disappointingly at room temperature. I don't think you'd need a lot of experience to know how to maintain freshness using a warmer. Least favorite part is that they charge $18 per person for an extremely poor service and food quality. read more

Delicious! Thank you BiBi for an incredible array of food for a family birthday celebration! We enjoyed Chicken, Beef and Veggie Kabobs, housemade yogurt, roasted cauliflower, marinated olives, beet salad, Shirazi salad, saffron rice pudding and more... it was fantastic. Everything was seasoned beautifully and the meat was cooked exactly as ordered (the chicken was incredibly moist, too). I highly recommend BiBi! On a personal note, it was fun to speak with BiBi herself and see the pride and love that goes into making their food! read more

If you ever need a caterer, or take-out, or dine in, Bibi's is your meal, for authentic Persian/Middle Eastern cuisine, from a most gracious and helpful owner, Bibi Kirkland. The food is, across the menu, over-the-top delicious. From the roasted Cauliflower, to the spicey shrimp, a variety of vegie dishes, and fabulous sauces, chicken, OLIVES extraordinaire! Most meaningfully to me was that, due to technological error on my part, I thought my order for take-out for 25 people was confirmed in the morning for 6 pm. in fact, i hadn't confirmed, yet at 5:30 pm, Bibi got my order ready by 6:45. She was so understanding and accomodating, and chose the perfect menu for our theater cast closing party. Everyone was delighted with the feast! Very generous, very reasonable. Much gratitude to Bibi's and her marvelous staff. read more

Our new CV-19 go-to. Outstanding Mediterranean food in Kirkland. Our family had takeaway Friday night, and super pleased. Natural and authentic. Delicious Beef Tenderloin Kebob, Chicken Kebab. Super friendly, accommodating staff. Highly recommend to the neighborhood and beyond. So happy to have BiBi in Houghton. read more

Great Mediterranean/Persian food! My kids loved the chicken! We also enjoyed the dried peach and cashew.

One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've ever been to! We were very impressed by the food! The service was great too! Highly recommend! read more

The food was good but I found a rock in my food. Must have dropped food on the ground and put it back in my order.

If I could, I would give this place 0 stars. I grew up with Persian food, so I know what good Persian food is supposed to taste like. The food I had at Bibi's was the worst Persian food I ever tasted. The koobideh kebob was so tough that it was almost uneatable. The loobiah polo was featured with tadigh, but we never got any. The asheh reshteh didn't have sauteed onions on top like we had requested. When I called to tell them about our not so very pleasant first experience, the lady I spoke with, whom I believe to be the owner, was extremely rude and arrogant. She told me that I shouldn't expect to get what was shown on the pictures of their website. Also, if I didn't like the kebob, I should go some where else next time. We spent $130 on a meal for 2 at this deli. The prices are way too high, the food is terrible and customer service is as bad as it can get. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like you would the plague. read more

This is absolutely the best authentic restaurant in the Seattle, East side. Great food, high quallity ingredients, organic grass fed beef, lamb,..... Compostable togo boxes, top it off with the best customer service. read more

Ooooooohhhhhh, tastebuds are so happy!!! After too much of my own boring cooking I went to Bibi and was reminded of what a thrill interesting textures and tastes can offer. Delicious BibiBowl, roasted cauliflower with pomegranate seeds, and rice cookies absolutely made my day. Hot food made to order with love by a wonderful lady who treated us so kindly. I don't normally go to Kirkland but this is reason enough to trek to the Eastside regularly. Luscious. Go. read more

The food here is homemade and fresh everyday. It reminds me of my mom's cooking. I totally recommend this if you wanna introduce persian food to your friends. read more

Awesome! An oasis in the desert known as Houghton. Replaced Shamiana. Good riddance. So far just tried the lunch buffet. Good deal for very fresh/flavorful food. Seemed like 90% of customers were Persian -- good sign. read more

I can not express how amazing this was. We had them cater our welcome party for our wedding and many of the people attending were Persian. We fed about 70 people for what I consider very reasonable amount. They all commented that it was one of the best Persian food they had and that it was very authentic. Everyone loved the food so much. We had a lot left over because the portions were very large. They came to our venue in Redmond and set everything up so beautifully. They came at the end of the night and packed it all up too. I honestly cannot express in words how delicious it was and how much everyone loved the food. Even non adventurous eaters loved it! We had goat, humans , eggplant, fesenjoon, salad , and beautiful desserts spread. (We has more too but I just can't remember!) read more

I went to the new dinner service and loved it! They have an excellent variety of appetizers that you can mix and match 3 for $20. The portion sizes are generous and the flavors are rich and fresh. I ordered the Bibi ganoush, the yogurt with cucumber (pleasantly tangy and refreshing), and the dolme and they were all delicious! They atmosphere is laid-back and homey- like you're having a meal at your stylish parents' place. read more

Greatest Mediterranean and Persian restaurant in the East Side. Pretty much is like the home made food. Strongly recommend it.

If you want to experience a variety of homemade Persian dishes, then this is the place to go. They use the best ingredients and their food is absolutely delicious. We loved their new location and the management team is just awesome. Highly recommend. read more

I'm hopeful BiBi will stay in our neighborhood because I appreciate good Persian and Mediterranean food with my family. The staff is genuinely caring and kind. I like straightforward menus that delve into ethnic flavors. I like the clean space. The vibe of the restaurant is a labor of love vibe which definitely warms the cold recesses of my food critic heart. I so want this place to succeed. Now the transition. Salt. You know what the kale salad needed? Salt. You know what the babaganoush needed? Salt. You know what cauliflower needed? Salt. Couple ideas. Salt and toast the pumpkin seeds in the kale salad and balance the dressing as it was too tart. Personal preference is for curly kale as I avoid slimy kale like lacinato. Serve the babaganoush with pita bread or cucumber slices. We simply asked for the pita bread afterward. so crisis avoided. Cauliflower could have been broiled a little longer as some was undercooked. Additionally, if you toss the seasonings in a bowl before or after you broil the cauliflower you will obtain a more consistent bite. Falafel. My wife's test for a Mediterranean restaurant is falafel. Her's was overcooked. I noticed it from across the table. Not a dish I enjoy. I had the beef kabab. Meat was tender but without char. You know what the beef needed? Salt. By now you know, I believe salt can revive most culinary fails. The tahdig, the rice crust of the rice on the kabob dish, lacked flavor. The waiter and kitchen were kind and apologetic, generous with complementary olives, beets and salad when our food was delayed. I liked the spacious clean space. The drinks were reasonably priced. I'm hopeful this was an off night for BiBi. We will come again because the warmth of the staff and generosity of the kitchen assured me of the effort being put into making BiBi a success. The olives were perfectly salty! read more

The variety of food is perfect. Very tasty. The best homemade persian restaurant. Perfect environment.

This was my first time here and its probably one of the best Persian restaurants IMO. Sholeh zard was amazing not too sweet, exactly how I like it to be. Gheimeh bademjoon was awesome. Chicken kabob was really tasty. Lentil rice was exactly like my moms lentil rice with raisin and dates. Everything was perfect. Thanks BiBi catering for bringing a perfect buffet to our city. read more

We ordered online for our weekly COVID takeout, and were really happy we did. Everything was delicious, fresh, and a really good value. Our family is both vegetarian and not, and there were plenty of options for all of us. Will definitely want to go back for the buffet when the quarantine is over! read more

By far the best Persian restaurant in Seattle area, gourmet food style and clean space to enjoy your food too. It's a must , if you like Persian food or if you want to try variety Persian food. read more

This is probably my favorite Persian restaurant in Seattle area because they have traditional stew and food that is more than kebob and rice. Their service is amazing too. Just ask them if you need anything else and they'll make it happen. Delicious food for sure. read more

We had a wonderful birthday celebration last Saturday at BiBi for 30 people. The food was really tasty and well presented and the young woman attending to us was very efficient and sweet. All the attendees commented on the lovely space and the delicious and interesting food. Thank you owners and staff for making our celebration so special! read more

Great homemade style Persian dishes. Very tasty and a relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely visit this place again.

Food was great, service was awesome and Bibi brings a cuisine that is perfect and much needed to the area. My friends and I really enjoyed the salads, beef and persian style rice! It was so yummy. Please come pay this place a visit. You won't regret it! read more
