Came here by accident while waiting near a comic bookstore, and wow, what a find. This place is part grocery store, part bakery, part restaurant, and somehow does all three really well. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with free samples (hummus, baba ganoush, Turkish delight... yes please) and the kindest hospitality. The owner actually came over and chatted with us, shared where he's from, and even offered us Turkish coffee and Moroccan mint tea, which instantly reminded me of my trip to Morocco. We ordered the lamb gyro, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's one of the best I've had in Seattle. Super flavorful, generously portioned, and just hits the spot. Also ended up buying couscous, harissa, fig jam, and olives from the store section, everything felt really authentic. Special shoutout to Hiba for being so warm and welcoming! Honestly, this place feels less like a store and more like a community spot. If you're in Seattle, don't skip this, come for the food, stay for the people. read more

Safeway has coupons for $2 off any entree or salad and $5 off $20 or more for Mediterranean Oasis on the back of their receipts. There's no other terms on them that specify what qualifies for the coupons. I've had no previous issues redeeming the $2 off any entree coupon on items off their menu. However, one day the worker at that moment decided he wanted to be slimy over a tiny $3 difference and said the gyro platter ISN'T an entree. He was pushing to upsell me to use the $5 off $20 coupon and kept saying the $2 off is only for items in the deli case. I probably should have walked away, but I was hungry and already there, so I agreed to get upsold and added baklava ($5+, but $6+ after taxes) to my order to reach $20+. I should have just ordered only the gyro platter because I wasn't saving any money at all at that point. The baklava wasn't that great because it wasn't even fresh. I've also had hard pieces of rice in my meal before. I don't think that's the standard? Basically this place is a hit or miss depending on who's working that day. read more

The food service and ambience was amazing. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. The grocery store is very clean and they even have a little station where you can have some samples of some of their yummy delights. read more

Super cute little cafe and store for mediterranean food and treats. I went in specifically to see if they had some sundried tomatoes not in oil, but they just had the kind in oil. Oh well, I still found plenty of things that interested me. Specifically a cheese stuffed filo dough ring in the freezer section. We baked that up and made a big salad and it was a tasty meal. I also got some crackers and a nice sized package of sumac - it's a great place for spices. Next time I'd like to get honey, pistachio croissants, and more tasty things from the freezer section. read more

I finally got to try this place in person. Last time we ordered was during Covid on the Yelp Dine In night. This time we went and ate inside. The place is spacious with a store on one side and a restaurant on the other. Both have ample room and offerings and super friendly staff. We ate an early dinner here. I had the Gyro Platter and my companions had the Chicken Schwarma Platter, a Chicken Gyro Sandwich and we bought a Chicken Kebab Plate home for our daughter. After our meal, we wandered over to the store and browsed and bought a few items. Our meals were served quickly and prepared in the open kitchen behind the counter. We took the short wait time to look around and had some of the free mint tea offered at the well supplied condiments/accompaniments area. Our dishes were served to our table by the friendly manager/cook/cashier/store staff member who was always smiling. Nice guy. The food was tasty and fresh and what we wanted. I would have liked to have complimentary lentil soup as other similar restaurants we attend do but, alas, not this time. The deli and store portion of the business was well stocked with products from the Middle East and Europe and there was even a butcher counter in the back of the business. I was impressed by the variety of items and intrigued by things unknown to me before seeing them there. We bought a few things to take home from this part of the store including their awesome Hummus in two varieties! They make lots of things fresh here such as the pitas and aforementioned hummus. I will definitely return here in the future mostly for the store items and welcoming staff. read more

Mediterranean Oasis is a lovely new addition under its new ownership. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care--everything we tried felt authentic and satisfying. Beyond the restaurant, the shop is nicely stocked with a great selection of Mediterranean staples and specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere. The space feels welcoming, and you can tell the owners are passionate about both the food and the community. Definitely worth a visit, whether you're stopping in for a meal or browsing the store. read more

Really authentic grocery store with lots of different options and unique flavors you can't get anywhere else. The Greek fries are great too

Came here for lunch and had the veggie platter. Everything was delicious and prices are good. Mustafa, the shop owner was very kind and took care of us! Hayley recommend this place if you're in the area and want to eat some healthy delicious food. read more

Another cool Mediterranean spot in the near north end. I loved that I could get a hot meal and then do some shopping as well. The gyro I got was solid, enjoyed it immensely, and the guys in the kitchen were a hoot! It was tasty and perfectly filling. I loved the market too, but I think the time I was there they were due for a shipment to come in so it was a bit sparse, but definitely coming back to check that out more. I did buy some curry powder and some sweets. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back!" :) read more

This place is incredible. Second time here and food did not disappoint, again. The restaurant is in a grocery store, which means you can buy some of the delicious ingredients after you eat. The staff is so friendly and service is fast and great. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered via DoorDash again today but I picked it up myself. It's been awhile since I've been here in person (the last time was in 2022), but they now have more pre-packed food! Today, they're offering free refreshments outside (cold tea!) and I thought that was really nice of them. My chicken shawarma today looked weird with the unusual cuts but it's delicious as usual! Oh and they did include a fork and napkins this time! read more

Amazing selection of groceries. The house-made hummus is delicious. Have some mint tea while you shop.

We got beef and lamb gyros and they were amazing! The bread was fresh and soft but was structurally stable enough not to disintegrate under the weight of the very generous portion of meat. Veggies tasted fresh. The meat was tender and moist but not greasy. Will definitely keep this spot in mind for the future! Half the property is the kitchen and seating (5-10 tables), and the other half contains a small Mediterranean/middle eastern grocery. The prices in the grocery store seems reasonable by my estimation, and the aisles are clean and well organized. They have a small selection of halal meats in the freezer case including some cuts (mostly lamb) that are harder to obtain at a regular grocery store. read more

The food was good, service quick, facility clean. I had a good meal with a friend. I'll definitely go back again.

Flavorful food, kind staff, and big portions. I highly recommend this place! My first time here and I got the chicken shawarma plate and it's so good. It definitely won't be my last time coming! read more

Mediterranean Oasis - Chicken Shawarma Platter (lol I started eating and forgot to take a picture before hand!) - Mediterranean Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Food is so good! The front of the store / restaurant gives no clues to how good the food is. Go there. Eat. You'll love it. I did!!

We happened upon the restaurant here. Little did we know our tastebuds would be met with delicious flavor and warmth on a rainy day. The ambiance is clean with calm music and the service was kind and fast. We are thankful to have discovered it today and desire to return. read more

Temperatures are rising today on the Fourth of July and knew I wouldn't want to cook anything hot tonight. So I headed to the Mediterranean Oasis for lunch. The first thing you notice is a table with free samples of food. This was really hard to resist, because I have had these samples before and they are delicious. I eat too many. But I was hungry for kebabs and had to restrain as I didn't want to spoil my appetite. There is also an inflatable Gyro gentle man ballon, beckoning you in to try a Swarma. All attractive. My late husband was Moroccan, so I do enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine. For me, the things that stand out here are first, how fresh the food is. Just baked pitas, a big variety of freshly made dips, desserts and baked items. Second, the grocery items that you can purchase to take home, including halal meat. Third, the welcome you get coming here. I came in with a slightly sad mood. Hot, tired and hungry. They welcomed me profusely and checked up on me often. I ordered the Adana kebab, as I had had this in Istanbul. The who helped me, informed me that Adana was a city in Turkey, which I had not known. A touch of Turkey in Shoreline? A real blessing. The wait for my kebab was about ten minutes. So, I looked around the grocery store part as I waited. They offer my friend , Mustafa Haddouche brand of authentic Moroccan harrisa. The gentleman at the register also said his name was Mustafa when I showed him the display. My food arrived quickly. The Adana kebab was a large serving of grilled spiced meat, tomato and peppers, feta cheese and cucumber salad, hot fresh pita bread, hummus and a lovely garlic sauce. Combine these all to make a delicious burst of flavor sandwich bite. Spiced rice comes with this, with a hint of the sweeter Middle Eastern spices. For 22.00, there was so much food I couldn't eat it all. Oh, but how much I wanted to order more; their pistachio baklava. Their macarons. Their palmers. Their hot dog pitas. Their meat pitas. Too full to do so. They do offer complimentary Moroccan mint tea. My one criticism, the tea was not minty or sweet enough. As I could not finish my large portion, the kind cook took my plate and bagged it up for me. I had a great and inexpensive experience here. Recommend coming here for a good meal. read more

Nice place nice owners very good affordable foods for these current economic atmosphere. Hummus is to die for. read more

I ordered the Oasis Vegi-platter for $18.49 and was very disappointed. The falafel was overcooked and hard as a rock and was bland with no spices. The "platter" was supposed to include rice, hummus, and pita, but when I got home, there was only falafel and salad, nothing else, no rice, no hummus, no pita, and the tahini sauce was very watery. read more

A regular spot for us to get falafel and shawarma. It's also a grocery with good prices. Not really a dine-in place unless you're not picky. I've had better baklava. Sometimes it's a long wait for pick up orders. But the plates and sandwiches are really good. read more

Mediterranean Oasis under new ownership! I like combination of market with restaurant. Got the falafel salad for lunch, very fresh with lots of veggies. Good portion size. read more

Mediterranean Oasis - Falafel Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

This place was so good. I got the gyro plate. My favorite used to be halal guys and this just blew them out of the water. Wow. I was stunned. read more

We were craving Mediterranean food in the north end and stumbled across Med Oasis. The staff were so accommodating and friendly! I saw a picture here on Yelp of humus with meat but didn't see it on the menu. The staff asked the head chef if he could make it and sure enough he accommodated my request. We ordered the humus and meat and the mixed grill. Seriously - just give me a platter of the mixed grill meat and a vat of humus and baba ganoush so I can bathe in it! Meat was succulent and tender - amazingly spiced - and moist and juicy. If you're craving a quick, Mediterranean bite, Med Oasis is your place. And I loved that the management came to check on us and made sure everything was to par. It was. We will be back. read more

Do not get the falafel plate, their salad has pickles, there was a pebble in one of my falafels, they were dry. read more

Mediterranean Oasis - Falafel Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

I've been to this Mediterranean restaurant and market quite a few times now - and it's fantastic! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. The staff, possibly the owners, are incredibly friendly and generous, often giving us little extras. The market carries items that remind my boyfriend of home, which is a nice touch. Their baklava is the best I've ever had, and the baba ganoush is perfect--not overly acidic, which I appreciate as I'm very picky about it. The falafel is fresh, crispy, and never dry. The pita is also made fresh! I highly recommend dining in for the best experience. The place is no frills, very clean and they offer complimentary tea. While delivery is convenient, the food truly shines when enjoyed fresh in person. Regarding negative reviews about delivery issues or specific ingredients like pickles--please address delivery concerns with the service provider, not the restaurant. It's unfair to rate such a hardworking establishment poorly for these reasons. Rating someone 2 or 3 stars over some pickled veggies in your salad is just petty. I always get too excited and forget to take pictures of my food, but will try to make it a point to next time and include some in my review! read more

A friend recommended this spot to me and I'm so glad! Excellent food; so fresh and tasty! I will definitely be going back! Yum!

Chaimae was at the front counter, and I asked her what was her favorite item. She told me try the Lamb Beef Gyro. in my opinion, it was was absolutely the best choice for a first guest at this restaurant. Five. Stars for sure very authentic vibe. read more

I have been here a few times over the past three years. Every time has been a welcoming visit! Their plates a gyros have great flavor and you must try the Baba ghanoush. Beyond the great food, their hospitality and seating area are held to a solid standard. If dining in, they would check in me. Just awesome to feel cared for. Thank you! read more

Was not a huge fan. Some things were ok but a lot of it felt like it had been sitting out for a while. Meat was dry.

Well stocked Mediterranean grocery store with a delicious cafe. I had the falafel sandwich and fries. Both were great. I met the assistant manager who provided excellent service and I will definitely be back. read more

My whole experience here was amazing! I let myself get too hungry Saturday around lunch and figured this would be a fast easy place to stop off and I'm SO GLAD I DID! Mo was behind the counter and helped me narrow down what to order. I was lucky enough to be there while they were making all of their fresh pitas so my lamb shawarma was PERFECT. Mo even brought me a fresh plain one to try and told me the sell bags of them to go! I bought a bag to share with my buddies later and everyone was impressed (and jealous). The fries were excellent. Perfectly crispy and seasoned just right. I was at the restaurant when it was a little slower, they were getting ready for the next rush, so Mo invited me back to see their pita making operation and gave me a tour! The kitchen was clean, organized and I was able to meet some of the hardest working folks back there making HUNDREDS of pitas. I also took some baklava home with me to share with my mom. She was delighted! Wonderfully flakey and sticky with honey. Exactly the way it should be. Don't miss out on this place! It's not super visible from the road so I'm not sure I would have spotted it under normal circumstances. Definitely a hidden gem. The portions aren't huge for the sandwiches, but that was ideal for me so I could eat all my fries. Plus the prices are super reasonable for a meal. I can't wait to come back and try more things off the menu! read more

One word to sum it all up.. "WOW" I was surprised as I walked in. The whole store is super clean. The atmosphere, the vibe, and the products are all on point, and the food was delicious! They make their pita fresh! It was so good we took a bunch home. My family loves it!! I highly recommend this spot--10 stars!!! read more

We ordered chicken shawarma salad and gyro salad, both were so good and fresh! I especially love the white sauce that came with the salad. It was so decedent and delicious! The service was kind and friendly! We had some questions with the menu and the owner took his time to explain and help us. Having a meal at Mediterranean Oasis is like having a meal at your favorite aunt's home; warm, cosy, and familiar. read more

Mediterranean Oasis catered a function for us this weekend. Everyone raved about the lamb gyro meat and delicious fresh baked pitas! The food is seriously the best Mediterranean in the city! Very accommodating to us for what we needed and very friendly. Definitely recommend C & M, Seattle read more

Ordered takeout here for a big group. It was ready on time with great service, and they even threw in some free baklava. Thank you!

I have dinner at this place with some friends several times. The place is a large grocery store with a full kitchen and tables to set and eat. I can say that this is the only real shawarma place in the Northwest. They use the shawarma machines to cook the shawarma and they even bake their own fresh bread for sandwiches. I tried the beef shawarma , the falafel and the humus. All were truly amazing and delicious. Good prices and generous portions. The owners and staff are very friendly too. I wish this place was closer to Kirkland but it definitely worth the drive when I have time. Very delicious food. read more

The food may be fine but we had a bad experience with ordering. We placed an order online through their website on a Friday evening around 730. When we arrived for pickup the restaurant was closed, sign said they should have been open, a few other patrons were outside like us. No note on the door We tried to resolve with their online platform and they said the company was non responsive. So we had to dispute it with my Amex to get a refund. Maybe something happened emergency wise and I don't want to be insensitive to that but the lack of resolve left me not happy. I won't go again read more

The food is delicious and fresh. The grocery selection is really good too, products from all over the Mediterranean region. But I can't say enough positive things about the service. So kind and welcoming. I literally can't wait to go back. Oh, and for my next party I'm definitely stopping by to pick up a selection of dips and fresh bread. I'm VERY picky about hummus, and theirs is great. I also recommend the Muhamara. read more

Great food! The owner allowed me to customize my order to exclude the rice. They were extremely nice and accommodating and created a delicious plate for me and my partner. Definitely would recommend for the food and service. read more
