My Sunday lunch was amazing!! Oscar and team have a excellent service, great smiles, and made fantastic foods. Environment is nice in center of town and super clean. Definitely go back for more!! Thank you for the great service. read more

I was recommended this place by my coworker so we headed over here for a lunch break. PARKING & LOCATION // This place is right off the 405 freeway so it's easily accessible. Parking here is also really great and easy. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a ton of tables. FOOD // My coworker recommended the CHICKEN SCHWARMA plate! It came with one cup of soup (vegetarian pea soup) and pita as well. The portions are enormous here. I was only able to eat half and brought the rest home as leftovers. For the price, I basically got 2 meals. That's amazing. The food is insanely delicious and flavorful. Every single bite was fantastic. I was so happy with the food here! SERVICE // You come in, order at the counter, and they bring the food to you with your table number. I'm reading below that people had bad experiences with the service but I didn't experience that. I thought everyone was great. OVERALL // 5 stars I loved it! I'll definitely be back soon. read more

I love this place so much. This is my family's go-to takeout spot when we want something healthy, quick, and delicious. We have tried 2/3 of the menu and everything is fantastic, but my two favorites are the chicken salad and the Farmers Dish, chicken wings marinated for 24 hours. Great meatless options as well! read more

Mediterranean Kitchen - Chicken Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I only order two of their menu items when I come here. The gyro plate and the farmers dish. Both are very good with solid Mediterranean flavor. The soup that comes with is rather bland and the pita is sometimes not fresh. Service is almost always rushed and the place is noisy even when there is no dining inside (cooks clanging and banging in the kitchen). I wish it were more like the Bellevue location which is a more pleasant experience. read more

I ordered the Tish Sawook with extra pita bread for delivery and it was the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. It was perfectly spiced, it was hot on arrival and it was a large portion for 1 person. I will definitely be ordering again from this place!! read more

Delicious!! Easy and fun takeout. They seem to work hard to create super flavorful and interesting food. We had the Lamb Shish Kabob, the Algerian Chicken, and the MK Salad. The lamb was great, but the Algerian Chicken was fantastic!! SO flavorful!! And I've always loved their rice. Salad was quite good. So many veggies and interesting additions. Beets this time, pickled veggies, peperoncini. Tons of flavor!! The humus is also very good and it all comes with nice pita. The restaurant is also very clean and the staff is so kind and helpful. I really appreciated it! read more

Terrible taste. Weird slices used.... Not sure how "authentic" this is for Lebanese food? Maybe it was an off night, but the chicken and rice did not taste right and did not sit well with any of us. Better Lebanese food around here.... Wont return. read more

Really poor experience, reminded me why I stopped coming here. I ordered later at night and picked up 2 gyros. The gyro bread was cold and tasteless. There was barely any meat in either gyro, completely stuffed with vegetables so with each bite, there's no balance. You're basically eating cold store-bought bread, with very little to no meat and eating tart sauce and veggies with no seasoning. This mediocre experience was not worth the money or drive. The place also looks dingy and dark, I couldn't wait to leave. I really don't recommend. Head to Jasmine Kitchen in Kirkland for friendly staff and cleaner environment, order their chicken gyros, you won't be disappointed! read more

The Kirkland location of Mediterranean Kitchen is a cafe style restaurant, order at the counter and they'll deliver the food to you. Having served the neighborhood for many years, it's a super popular place for take-outs. If you want a full service sit down restaurant, go to the Bellevue location of the same name. The price is higher there too. Our typical order is a the Lamb Sharwama Plate. It comes with a pita and a soup. The order is so large that it easily provides lunch and dinner for the day. As you can see from the photo, the food is savory and wonderfully seasoned. The lamb are tenderloin strips that are meaty and tender satisfying bites. All of their "plate" meals are hearty and readily feeds two. My other favorite is their Bantinjan, a vegetarian wrap (like a burrito) with marinated eggplant, fried cauliflower, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, topped with special sauce. It's very tasty and wonderfully savory. It's definitely a superior vegetarian dish. I've recommended this restaurant to many people, and it's a unanimous thumbs-up! Tip: Their noon hour tends to be very busy weekday and weekends. It's better to go earlier, later, or phone in a pick-up order. read more

"MK" is famous in Puget Sound. They have three locations, this one is in Kirkland. The business was started by the father over 10 years ago, and has been passed down to the son. I asked a waiter who is the genious behind the recipes. "The father, he has trained his son on every secret". Well I believe that...here's an example: I ordered the sampler kebab plate, with three different meats. And see the pictures below! Everything is cooked perfectly. In fact the vegetables are grilled. Slices of onion are cooked long enough to remove the acid, to draw out the sweetness, yet still maintain their crunch, sort of 'al dente'. The rice is steamed perfectly, flavored with chicken base and Tumerick to give it a yellow color and deep flavor. A yogurt sauce is drizzled over the top. The meal is served with a split pea flavored soup and fried Lebanese bread. I ordered a glass of mint tea... It was large enough to last the whole meal. The pairing of flavors in all these items is culinary genius! You can't leave here hungry! The portions are huge and the rice is more than you can eat. As I sit here eating this wonderful meal, I seriously wonder if the people of the world could find a common spirit of appreciation for each other, simply by sharing their food with each other. How can we dislike a culture when their food is so perfect? read more

The chicken pita was very flavorful and the best I had! Staff were super friendly and service was excellent. I loved this place and will be back soon. read more

My husband and I eat lunch from here at least once a week. I would personally eat at least one meal each day from here if I could talk the rest of my family into it! The flavor is what makes this place above the rest. My ONLY downside part of the review, they used to give you way more olives and pickled turnips on top of the chicken salad and I miss that a lot. read more

It was easy to order online for to go order. Falafel was dry. Hummus , baba kanuj were sour. The spanikopita was soggy. Overall super disappointed. read more

Probably the best Mediterranean food I have had since moving to WA 3 years ago. It is very difficult to find a family restaurant that adds this much flavor into their food. I was incomplete shock as I am from San Diego, and our diversity of food and culture is larger. Mediterranean kitchen is a serious hidden gem that is a MUST try. Not to mention the portions are large and the price is very fair. read more

Ordered a gyro for take out and was shocked when I got home. This is the smallest gyro I've ever seen in my life. It's the same size as a taco. See pic. I paid over $12 and that doesn't include fries. Total ripoff. Won't be back. read more

Mediterranean Kitchen - Gyro sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

The food here is amazing!! I wouldn't have expected it since it is in a strip mall just off the freeway. We tried a few different plates, all which were very large and filling. My favorite was the Dajaj Mishwi, but we also had the lamb gyro plate and the chicken. The lamb and chicken were both perfectly cooked with authentic seasonings. Comes with rice and delicious pita. We came here during COVID so we were able to eat indoors. It is a small building so it doesn't look like they have a ton of seating, but some seating outside of the stripmall. read more

I ordered gyro plate but it was more like a vegetable stir fried with gyro and bunch of seasonings on top of rice. It came with soup which was nice too. Vegetables were fresh and crispy even when it's cooked and I liked it because I never had this type of gyro so it was new. Their creamy hummus was also amazingly good. But I chew on little piece of rock. First I thought it was old dried rice but no.. it was a rock and probably got into with either vege or rice. And food was too oily. It must have used lots of oil when they stir fry it. It had high ratings so I was expecting a good gyro plate but meh.. I will find a different place. read more

Great food and friendly staff! Definitely try the chilli sauce with your meal. Will be visiting again.

I still love the garlic kick in everything. Hummus is still fantastic. Lamb Shawarma has the proper spice to meat ration, but the portion size is 1/2 what it used to be. Bread has not changed, still almost cardboard. I will continue to come here, but not what it used to be. read more

This restaurant is awful. People working there are always rushed, rude, unhelpful and unfriendly. Food is thrown together haphazardly with no regard for presentation. I just had a Gyro Salad - gyro meat was decent, but very little actual lettuce (and what was there was from a bag) ; lentil soup was way over spiced; and the pita was as dried out as possible. I have given this spot multiple opportunities over the years to me me over. They have failed miserably and I will never go back. Also - NO VACCINE CHECK!! read more

The food was amazing and very flavorful! Everything was seasoned perfectly and the staff was beyond attentive. Would recommend read more

Mediterranean Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I absolutely love this place for takeout! There aren't many other places who do this style of food around here, and people are missing out if they don't try this place. The shwarma and shish tawook are my go to! They have a delicious spiced flavor and the sauce over them i would put on everything if i could. They always give you a mountain of rice to go with, and there is no way to leave here hungry. The plates come with pots and hummus too, and eating here single handedly converted me to being a hummus person. As this is a walk up/ take our place primarily, the interior is utilitarian. Very hole in the wall & strip mall style of restaurant, so going for a sit down meal here is unusual, but it is a pleasant enough place to wait for your food. Literally the one negative thing i could think of to say is i don't like the soup that comes with the meal, but it's an add in item anyway, so not too much of a detriment to give it a miss. Overall i love this place's combination of flavor, value, and novelty! read more

food and service was superb but I definitely recommend going here again the best food in kirklanr by far but there was a little boy name KAR--- and he bothers me read more

The food was phenomenal and came out really fast. Everything was so flavorful!! The guy who took our order was so kind and helpful when I asked for suggestions of what to order. He came to check on us and make sure everything tasted ok. Highly recommend this place!! read more

This is specifically for the Kirkland location. To the best of my knowledge, the Bellevue location is still great. Anyway, to start with, when I moved to Kirkland, I was psyched to see that there was a Med Kitchen by me as the one in Bellevue is excellent. But the food at Kirkland is somehow not as good. It's not *bad*, per se, but something about it just isn't as fresh/tasty/great. Also, the serving staff is kind of brusque, sometimes gets things off, etc. (While the Bellevue staff is excellent.) I was okay with this until yesterday. Anyway, yesterday we ordered three meals to go (only way to do it with COVID) and, not long after we got them to the car, the soups started leaking. Badly. My father got some mild burns from the hot soup leaking on him and his pants were stained. I figured that maybe the lids weren't put on correctly but...when I got home and cleaned up the mess, realized that two of the soups hadn't had a lid put on AT ALL. (Um...no wonder they were spilling everywhere!) It was such an awful oversight that we called them to warn them to, y'know, pay attention to actually putting covers on a scalding hot, messy food. The response was, "Oh, sorry. If you'd like to come back and get more soup, we can do that." It was such a tepid response. Like, pants had been ruined, upholstery had been damaged, skin had been burnt...all over an exceptionally OBVIOUS mistaken, and when alerted all they did was said, "Oh, I guess we're sorry?" Let's just say, I'm not going back. read more

We used to love the food here and portion sizes! The meat was in huge quantity and well flavored. This review is solely for portion size. The food is flavorful, but quantities have decreased substantially, while prices have increased. We ordered the gyro platter yesterday. We also ordered the same dish three weeks back late night. There was limited meat and rice and veggies were more. We thought it was closing time for the restaurant, and hence limited meat. But same story yesterday during peak lunch time. Limited meat. We also ordered the gyro sandwich, there was hardly any sauce to coat the meat so it was very dry. Not coming back! Shawarmamaniac and Jasmine med has wonderful food with great quantities, pricing and quality! read more

I did not get to taste their Falafel sandwich. After I paid. I noticed that the guy who made my sandwiches was putting raw chicken on the grill with the same gloves he used to do my sandwiches. This is a true health hazard. I told them that it was unacceptable. And I left. I did not even bother to ask for another ones or ask for my money back.... read more

We love this place! We've always gotten takeout here. I get the gyro sandwich and my husband gets the schwarma sandwich. We love to get sides of lentil soup too! I love how they're always so accommodating with taking off tomatoes and putting the sauce on the side for me to dip and add myself. The plates are huge and have lots of yummy rice. Great staff and always so clean! read more

The only thing good was the soup. Falafel wrap was almost inedible. So dry it was hard to swallow every bite. Completely cold like they fried it last week. There were large chunks of raw carrots cut into circles and thrown into the wrap, not pickled or seasoned. I would have given a 1 star if not for the soup. read more

This place is truly the bees knees. I used to live right down the street and probably got it 3 times a week and since moving away, yesterday was the first time I have had it in months. It as always didn't disappoint. The chicken shawarma wrap is insanely flavorful. I got the lamb shawarma wrap to go as it is my second favorite. My boyfriend lives for their lentil soup and got the gyro wrap to go. Wish they had one closer to my new place so I could get my fix on a regular basis. read more

Ordered the Gyro plate. Definitely more onions and rice than I wanted. It was okay food. Like others said, the soup was kind of on the salty side. You can definitely hear a lot of that worker chatter in front of customers. I was there on a weekend during lunch time and it was still slow. Overall, would pass and try another place. read more

I'm writing this review purely for the foul mudammas. I was fasting today and wanted to avoid meat, or else I'd have gone for the gyro salad. I chose foul as the best veggie option of the bunch and, my goodness, it didn't disappoint! I should say, too, that I only ended up here today because I was bringing in lunch for a client or otherwise I would have never ended up here. And a lot of times, my clients choose boring restaurants. This was not one of those times. The foul, like all of the entrees, came with a lentil soup to start. Inside the to-go container, I found a generous helping of the foul (fava beans) garnished with white sauce and some fresh and delightfully red tomatoes for this time of year. Another treat were the many, many toasted pitas. The pita squares were toasted and crunchy so it was easy to load them up with foul almost like I was eating nachos. The star of the show was the foul itself. It doesn't sound like much--fava beans with spices. And I've had foul before, and it wasn't much. But this one today was a joy. I was a bit sad when we had to start the meeting and I was presenting and I had to set my meal aside. Any chance I got to crack the box back open, I would load up a pita and munch it down. By meeting's end, I had managed to eat the whole thing. The spices and oils blended together so nicely that this simple dish of beans had just as much flavor as most meats I would ever order. read more

You know what shines here? Their salads. Their gigantic, multi colored, multi flavored beast of a salad. I mean, start with a pile of fresh romaine, top with thick cucumber slices and juicy tomatoes, scatter julienned carrots and purple cabbage, load it up with juicy, hot off the grill chicken that's seasoned up the wazoo, slather with yogurt sauce, then sprinkle with pickled jalapenos and cabbage...who wouldn't love it?! I eat it without the garlicky dressing because everything is already so flavorful. The salad also comes with the world's most delicious lentil soup. It's thin in consistency but all the flavors from the spices and peas have melded together in perfect harmony I can't help but feel happy when I consume this. It's a casual place. You pay first then they'll bring your food to ya. I go for the flavor explosion and am rarely disappointed. read more

Ok. So went here with some co-workers because one of our co-workers was leaving our company/team! I looked this restaurant on Yelp and was not to hot on this restaurant! Usually I'm right, but sometimes I'm very wrong! This time I was right! Restaurant located in a small shopping center or a hole in the wall/building! Hee! I could of stayed in the office and asked one my co-workers to get me something but I wanted to see this restaurant for myself! (Should of stayed in office!) Anyway, boss was going to pay so I got a beef dish. ( beef SHAWARMA ). You know they serve big plates and sometimes big plates doesn't mean tasteful food...this was the case! Lots of rice, veggies but sparse beef! The warm pita bread was a bright spot!!! So most of the big dishes are served with soup and pita bread! Soup to me was not bad, pita bread was nice and warm dish....well let's just say I would of prefer a $7.99 Chinese one item entree with either rice or noodles at Safeway deli!!! Plus a fortune cookie!! I seriously lost the desire to eat! Food was salty! Rice was abundant, with more veggies ratio to the beef! So in conclusion, wasn't too impressed, not a big fan and in truth I wouldn't come back! But if want to try Mediterranean then you may find somewhere different! read more

This is essentially a fast food Medi restaurant. Ordered Pita bread and the baba ganoush. It was average taste-wise. Pita bread was ok. Got the combo kabobs. Well marinated, distinctly flavorful meats let down by the cheap yellow rice. imo basmati rice with those kabobs da bomb...Will visit again to try the salad read more

Never dined in. So I can't speak for the ambiance, but the food is exceptionally delicious, and always prepared and delivered in a timely manner. Very much recommend read more

I was feeling super hungry for lunch so we decided to grab a big meal somewhere nearby. This place is located in a pretty big plaza in Kirkland so there's lots of parking. Sometimes it gets busy and spots fill up fast so you may have to drive around for a bit, but the lot is big so it shouldn't be a huge issue. The interior of this place feels a bit smaller and not super spacious, but there's still enough room to move around comfortably and a good amount of tables and seats (inside and outside). We ordered the chicken shawarma plate, gyro plate, and a half order of MK fries. All of their dishes have super generous portions so it's a good bang for your buck. And it's all really good and tasty. Each dish we had was packed with flavor and seasoned and cooked perfectly. I did ask for extra sauce on the fries so if you like to make sure every fry is coated with sauce then I would suggest to request that. The service here is good. They're not super friendly or anything, but they're not disrespectful or rude either. Nothing really stands out but they get the job done and work pretty efficiently. read more
