Garlic Crush - Gyro platter. - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This place is packed at lunchtime -which can be a good and bad thing :) The gyros are pretty darn good! Juicy, sloppy, just how we like em! :) The meat is tender and still hot, all the ingredients are fresh. The service is ok, and the price isn't too spendy. read more

It's a quick stop and the food is good! I love the Chicken Schawarma sandwich and the Classic Gyro sandwich. You can get both with fries and a drink. The fries are good! You can order them with seasoning, or upgrade and add feta. Or you can add salad and a drink, if you are more health conscious. I try, but it's not always easy when you can smell the fries. :) I usually order my food to go. You just wait a bit, but your food is fresh, so I don't mind the wait at all. read more

Awesome restaurant! I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful quality of the food and the friendliness of the service. Love the authentic middle eastern recipes, especially the chicken shawarma! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Ordered the gyros to go. They are huge and only just over $6. Great deal for takeout dinner. Gyros is good and tastes a little different from places I've ordered before. Maybe more authentic but not sure. Overall taste good and a lot of food for your money. Watch out where you park as the lot next to it says no parking for this restaurant. read more

Garlic Crush - Looks fresh - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Great food, great atmosphere. Cooked quickly, and definitely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The supervisor/owner was exceptionally friendly, lively, and courteous. Highly recommended to even those with more traditional palettes. read more

Fantastic! Excellent hummus & baba ghannouj!! Everything is light, delicious and fast. Great little place. read more

This is my go-to lunch in downtown Bellevue. It's convenient with the large parking lot next to Sports Authority, and the food quality is top notch. They even use grass-fed gyro meat now, what?!! Their french fries are also the bomb, if you feel like treating yourself. read more

The babaganoush and hummus are to die for...creamy and authentic. The chicken and lamb kebabs are really tender, and the falafel is also incredible (especially with the tahini sauce). Outdoor seating is good for a sunny afternoon. Only complaint is that the rice that comes with the meals is kind of bland and the pita bread isn't freshly baked, but there is plenty of flavor elsewhere! read more

Their Gyros are fantastic and are a really good value for the amount of food you get. Their baklava is also really tasty. Highly recommend

I've always loved Garlic Crush, but I'm giving them an extra star for their wonderful catering and awesome customer service. My husband and I decided to cater with Garlic Crush, one of my favorite places, for our wedding reception banquet of 200 guests. They were so helpful with our selections, and even answered my questions regarding any nut products because I had guests who are severely allergic. The volunteers that were helping set up the catering at our reception space also mentioned how friendly and helpful they were in instructing how things can be best set up. I high recommend for catering and their service was amazing ! Everyone took home leftovers :-) Thank you so much ! read more

I was so disappointed the last time I ate here. I specifically put "No tomato, severe tomato allergy" and picked up our food for take out. Got home to eat my food. I took a bite and ate some of the tomato. Called and spoke to the manager- he said he could call me back and try to make it right. He never called back. read more

Tasty. The food is reasonably priced and the service was good. We ordered a Greek salad, a chicken plate and the seasoned cauliflower (my favorite part). With the plate and cauliflower we had plenty of food to share (the Greek salad all mine). read more

As others have said, the staff at Garlic Crush is beyond helpful and fun. They joked with my friend and I, rushed over if it looked like we needed anything else, and asked us to give them a good review on Yelp! :) The prices were awesome (esp for Bellevue), and the food was fresh and tasty! MUCH better and a lot cheaper than Orexi. read more

First thing I must say, is the toum is incredible, and makes the Garlic Crush name ring true. Like most small places in downtown Bellevue, the place can fill up quickly, but I have never felt overly crowded. The portions of food on the platters, is more than enough, though yes there isn't a lot of pita. All of the meats I have tried are excellently seasoned and go great with the pile of rice and the mounds of toum and hummus., read more

Fast food mediterranean restaurants are the greatest! I had the falafel sandwich and asked them to make it spicy. It was very flavorful, but not quite spicy enough. I had to add their spicy sauce on top as well. We got their garlic paste on the side, and although it was very good with the sandwich the container they give it to you in for a $1.29 extra is wayyyy more than you need. You could use one tub for 4 sandwiches. Overall it was absolutely delicious! Falafel was warm and fresh and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had. We got the baklava for dessert and it was very authentic and good. read more

This small takeout with it's simple rusty decor sure serves up a lot of flavour (garlicky) to be specific! I love the convenience of their location, their hurried service, the authenticity of their menu and exact flavour to their food, and trust me I am a huge fan of Mediterranean cuisine and would be writing up another review if the exact taste wouldn't be hit! This is by far my best spot to eat! I would drive the mile too if I didn't live so close, which is a huge bonus for I;-) read more

Garlic Crush - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Huge fan of this place. Quick service, the price is right and the food is delicious. I usually order the Chicken Kabob Sandwich or the Chicken Kabob plate and it is DELICIOUS. The chicken is always tender and has a lot of flavor and spices in it. The rice is always cooked perfectly and if you get the plate and get the salad, you will not be disappointed. LOVE the garlic paste and the hummus as well. You can eat outside in the summer and you can always dine indoors. It is a order-at-the-counter and bus your own table establishment which I like since it's casual enough to grab a quick meal. This probably also keeps the price of the food down which is another bonus. One thing to note, you might smell like this place if you eat inside. Just putting it out there since they cook everything in front of you and there is no back kitchen or anything so if you are headed out on a hot date, you might want to sit outside or grab to go. HIGHLY recommend this place. You can't go wrong with anything you order and the servings are plentiful. read more

Good food and people. It gets busy during lunch so be aware! I always get the kids meal. Perfect portion: fries, gyro meat (lamb/beef) and soda, no bread all for a perfect price. Other items on the menu are good and filling. LENTIL SOUP!!! off the hook read more

Amazing food huge with huge portions. That baba ghannouj was amazing! Loved the gyro plate. It was a bit greasy tho. read more

Garlic Crush - Salad that comes with a plate order - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Pretty quick service. I have been here a few times and the service is fairly fast. Most times I stick to carry out, but they do have some nice outdoor seating. My favorite is the beef kebab plate. This place is the best Mediterranean I have had in the area. read more

The service was great but the food was mediocre. I live within walking distance to Mr. Gyro in Greenwood and I understand I'm spoiled - no one does fastfood Greek as well as Mr. Gyro. I had the lamb shewarma, the meat was dry and the sauce was bland. The meal was served with plain rice which wasn't cooked all the way through. The hummus tasted like store bought instead of freshly made. read more

Delicious low key Mediterranean food. Order up at the counter, pick up your silverware and your food will be there fast. Lamb and beef gyros were the marked favorite, I've also tried the chicken shwarma (meh, ok) and the veggie mezza (solid choice). patio seating is right off Bellevue way and a little noisy but has shade and is pleasant enough. Over all I would say it's nothing fancy but it's got great food and good service. Will definitely be back. read more

I found this place way better than Mediterranean Kitchen that's opposite to it in terms of food quality. Although Mediterranean Kitchen has better ambience if you're looking for candle light, date dinner. We tried their seasoned fries and veggie mezza and soup was served complimentarily. All of them tasted pretty good, esp the fries and soup. Rated 4 because of the not so good seating/ambience. read more

Great lunch option. Tried their vegetarian falafel sandwich, and it was delicious. Their falafels are awesome! I have also tried their lentil soup and fried cauliflower sides - both delicious. The line gets long quickly for lunch. I had to wait about 10-15 minutes to get the sandwich after the order was in. The lines move fairly quickly. The prices are reasonable for a casual lunch place. They have a few tables indoor, and 5-6 tables outdoor for seating. If you're dining in, they'll give you a number and bring the food to you. Water glasses are available, and the place is neat and clean. Would definitely recommend. read more

It has been quite a few times I've been to this place. Garlic crush is very good for kebab's. Their chicken is halal and cooked very well. What I don't like about this place is the soup and humus. The soup has no taste literally . read more

Definetely my favorite Mediterranean place in Bellevue! I would recommend their Chicken Kebab and their lentil soup! Very delicious!

This place is way over rated. I got the beef and lamb shawarma and it was cold !!!!! The quality was not really good and the plates were not clean. The only good thing about this place is that they are fast. read more

Whenever I'm in Bellevue for work, I make a stop at Garlic Crush. Their food is delicious and super affordable. Love their Gyro, and the fries are so yummy. Will keep coming back. read more

5 stars for the falafel sandwich, 3 stars for the lamb sandwich. Zero stars for mixing up our orders and having my completely vegetarian friend take a bite of the lamb! Other than that mix up, the falafel sandwich that I thought was a lamb sandwich was really yummy. Once we switched our sandwiches to the correct owners, the lamb sandwich was a bit sad. Only 5 itty bitty chucks of meat and way too much lettuce. However, when we complained, they gave me 3 more at no cost. A nice response for our complaint. Also got the lentil soup, very tasty. Good place for a quick lunch. read more

Vegeterian mezo plate was awesome! Baba ganoj was delicious, very quick service and very reasonably priced. read more

Probably the best Mediterranean food in Bellevue -- which isn't saying a lot, but hey, there's always a place for some good gyros, kebabs, and schwarma. Definitely a bit of a dive -- so be mindful of your company. I mean, you are in the middle of downtown Bellevue -- so it's not dangerous or anything. Just not the best spot for a first date. Food is good, though. Your sandwiches will be in the $7-8 range -- while your basic meals run closer to $10-12. Probably should be labeled closer to a $$ establishment, as a result. Also curious that the chefs are not Mediterranean -- which explains why some of the flavors were overpowering. Still, I walked out a happy customer. Are there better Mediterranean joints out there? Yes. But Garlic Crush is pretty good, too -- hence, 3 stars out of 5. read more

Garlic Crush - Chicken Schwarma Plate ($9.99) - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The best gyro in Seattle. THE BEST! Delicious food. Don't park north of them in the teriyaki places lot. They hate it. Garlic Crush is very popular so expect to wait in line for a bit while the yuppies in front of you wrestle with indecision and multiple order changes. They need to have someone working the line and taking orders while the single cashier rings people up. Very worth the hassle. read more

Been here dozens of times but never got to write a review, my favorite thing here is the chicken kabob plate with soup which is what I had tonight :-) read more

Garlic Crush - Chicken Kabob Plate! :-) - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Not bad at all, the food would be better if they used basmati rice , portions are a little smaller than other places. hummus is good not too garlicky, the meats are cooked really well by keeping them juicy. Prices are decent between 10 to 14 for a platter. Recommend. read more

I confess, I have a crush on you "Garlic Crush". Every time I cross the 520 bridge you are all I can think about. I do silly things like ordering way too much food, and I order "garlic paste" even when it doesn't go with anything - because I love it so much. I know this place is set up to be kid friendly and casual but I wish I could just have a beer with my lunch once in a while. Small matter when you are talking about the most delicious, fascinatingly flavorful food in Puget Sound. I purposely order something different every time and have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work you wonderful people. I love you all. read more

Garlic Crush - Gyro plate with Greek salad and my favorite (not to be missed) Garlic Paste. I put it on EVERYTHING. Enjoy twice - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

It just doesn't get any better than this. Out of all of Greater Seattle, this place is my favorite hands down. Just a bonus that it's reasonably priced. read more

I am surprised this place received such high ratings. The food is bland. The items that tasted really well are the lentil soup, house salad, and baklava. The baklava is really good. My cousin choose the chicken shwarma. The chicken was dry. I had the lamb plate and some of it tasted gamey and wasn't seasoned well. Both of us had bland rice. This is an okay place for a quick bite to eat. If you're looking for good Mediterranean food, skip this place. read more

Garlic Crush - Chicken shwarma with hummus in the background. Lamb plate with hummus in the foreground. - Mediterranean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Tried chicken kabob plate and it really good portion size. Kabobs were great. Pita bread was crumbling but tasted good. Baklava needs improvement as it has not that crispy part and too much pistachio filling. read more

Had take-out from here for the first time last week and it was terrible. I got the veggie mezzo with falafel and side salad. Salad was tolerable, but everything else wasn't worth more than one bite. Trader Joes hummus is better. Pita was dry and clearly store bought. Falafel was easily the worst I've had. I have no understanding as to how this place is still in business where there are so many other great food options in Bellevue. Won't go back. read more
