Impeccable service, as someone who grew up in the area this is hands-down, the tastiest Shawarma I've had in North Seattle in ages. Also the ownership is good people and continues to show me love every visit. read more

It was a hot day and we wanted a substantial meal before leaving the next morning for an early morning flight (8/25/25). We decided to try out Shawarma Prince in Ballard. Nice counter staff. They could use a fan or AC on such a hot day working at the grill and fryer. I opted for a lamb & beef gyro...wow was this generously prepared with tasty meat, fresh vegies, sauce, spices, encased in pita bread. The Homie had a huge order of gyros fries. So huge that he was not able to finish it. There's onsite seating, but decided to eat al fresco under an umbrella, which was pleasant. Thanks to Peter for putting this on my Yelp radar screen. read more

Another winner on my quest to try as many shawarma places as possible in Seattle! After visiting Shawarma King and Shawarma Man during the past month, we now have Shawarma Prince (I'm sensing a theme in the names). Price wise, the Prince is a little higher but it's definitely worth a stop. You actually can choose between a shawarma sandwich in a pita or saj (thin, unleavened wrap) and definitely spend a couple of bucks more for the saj. Compared to other places, I would say the chicken shawarma has less veggies, including the pickled ones, so for those who do not like pickled stuff, this would be a good version to try. The sandwich is served with a copious amount of the garlic sauce, which was nice but probably a calorie bomb:). Nice, friendly service with limited seating (3.5 tables indoors with a couple outdoors) and a small parking lot. read more

They don't have a/c, but they have everything else in spades (delicious, fresh food, huge portions, wonderful/friendly customer service). The pics really speak for themselves. Vegans/veg people: I highly recommend the falafel platter. The falafel are so light, fluffy and flavorful - the baba and hummus are creamy perfection. Gah. And the price is right. Can't wait to go back. read more

My review is solely based on the pickup experience -- and I have to say, this is probably one of the best shawarmas I've had in Seattle. Having lived in the UAE for four years, I've been searching for something that comes close ever since moving to the U.S., and I've finally found it! This place definitely hits the mark, especially with their chicken wrap. I ordered the Prince Shawarma Special Wrap, which includes a chicken shawarma wrap, fries, and a drink. The fries were just okay, nothing special, but the wrap and the drink really hit the spot. And the garlic dip? Absolutely to die for. This is hands down my current favorite spot for shawarma in Seattle -- I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

Food was delicious probably one of the best shawarma I have had in a while. It was a bit less salty but very flavorful. Would definitely recommend the special platter comes with a wrap, fries, salad and drink. Their garlic sauce and hummus were delicious. The place has some searing but looks to be primarily a pickup place. They are a bit slow to take the order and difficult to explain so I recommend using the numbers to order food from menu. There is parking in front of the place so it is easy to pickup and recommend ordering ahead of time. read more

The Saj wrap is delish. Make sure you get extra garlic sauce cause it is so good. Also recoded the Greek fries if you are really hungry

I ordered the mixed veggie falafel wrap and enjoyed every single bite of it. The wrap was packed with flavor and I could taste all of the ingredients - especially falafel and cauliflower. They initially looked small but actually turned out the perfect portion for me. Service was wonderful and they accommodated to my needs! Will return again! Ambiance was casual. read more

Great food, fast, friendly service. Highly recommend! The complimentary Arabic tea while we waited the few minutes is absolutely lovely. Lots of delicious flavors with the sauces, condiments, and fresh herbs. The dine in seating looked clean and fine, but we were heading home from a night out, so takeaway for us. read more

This place is a great spot to grab and grow some dinner. They do have a few seats here but if all the little cramped and I feel like it's much more ideal to just get something to go. We got the shawarma platter and I thought it was really great, while waiting we saw a few other dishes and everything looked amazing. I really don't think you can go wrong and appreciate the friendly and fast service here read more

Pros: enthusiastic employees, good menu selection Cons: there are middle eastern places in Ballard I like more, I the kitchen seems messy (disorganized not dirty per se) read more

Shawarma Prince - Shawarma Over Hummus and Chicken Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We ordered shawarma prince for takeout the other day, and it was pretty good! We ordered the chicken shawarma platter, gyro pita, and greek fries. The portions were hefty, which was great for leftovers! I was worried the chicken on my platter would be dry, but it was good even the next day when I microwaved it to reheat. It came with a salad and a tzatziki-like sauce as well. The rice was seasoned a little too heavily for my taste with clove, so it wasn't my favorite, but I know plenty of people like that flavor! My partner really enjoyed his pita too although I'd say it's less food than the platter. The fries were great! Covered in sauce and feta (I think). They are more potato-y thick cut fries so if that's not your thing, maybe skip! read more

Food is great! Place is clean! Staff is friendly! Portions are huge! Since moving here from the East Coast 5 years ago, we've tried many Gyro and Shawarma places in NW Seattle. Hands down, this place is absolutely at the top. We've tried their Shawarma, Gyros, Baba Ganouj, Hummus, etc. Can't be beat. read more

I have wanted to eat at Shawarma Prince for quite a while so today stopped in and was so thankful I did - we were treated and greeted with such warmth. Offered us a taste of the best lentil soup I've had in Seattle. After a taste had to purchased a bowl to go along with 2 lamb & beef shawarma's that were again the best I've had in a very long time. I have to go back! and you dear readers need to go! The service is as excellent as the food. Thank you Shawarma Princes. read more

Food: "A". I've tried several shawarma places in Seattle, and this place by far is this best. We ordered the lamb & beef platter and falafel platter. Both were well seasoned. The sides included the greek salad, hummus, and rice which were all tasty. The salads were well dressed and fesh. The shawarma was tender and wasnt cut too thinly. The hummus was creamy. It also was nice to see that they lightly drizzled it with olive oil. The falafel was seasoned nicely but a little dry. Service: "A". I was most impressed by the care that they put to preparing the platter. I watched them individually select the best garnishes for each platter. You don't see that very often! Then, they asked if i was satisfied with the preparation. It wasn't just me bc they had made the same effort with the previous customer. Bravo! Ambiance: "A". It was clean and they had A/C. We will definitely be returning! read more

Can't believe it even took me this long to leave this review. This place is amazing. Really good food!!! I love the chicken shawarma. I tend to get the wrap but my partner always gets the plate which I am tempted to get as well. The plate gets loaded up with veggies, sauces, rice, etc. They give great portions. We also love the lentil soup. We just got to try the falafel for the first time...wow. Best falafel I've had in seattle. VERY flavorful and savory falafel. Love how they always give you a side of garlic sauce included with most entrees. They also give out free hot cardamom tea at the restaurant, which my partner is obsessed with. This place has become a go to takeout spot for us, especially on a Sunday morning after being out late on a Saturday night. Absolutely recommend!!! read more

I will say, the portion size is great especially because it isn't cheap. The service was fast and the guy working was nice. But the food was kinda hit miss. The rice had peas in it which I wasn't expecting and the chicken was a little dry. But the greek fries were amazing! I probably wouldn't come back but maybe it just wasn't for me. read more

Shawarma Prince is legit. The chicken is juicy, the garlic sauce actually hits, and the portions are generous. Super friendly staff and fast service. One of the best shawarmas I've had in Seattle, definitely coming back. read more

Phenomenal food and very nice staff. Perfect meal to eat outside and enjoy. Great price.

Let's goo ! Finally a place in Ballard that isn't over priced and gives you great portions of food for a great pride. This greek salad with lamb and beef after tax is under $16 ! There are a few other spots around like Matador, Pink Bee etc that are all good to but definitely ADD this one to the list. This is how you build loyalty period. read more

Shawarma Prince - Lamb and Beef Gyros Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was really excited to try this place after reading a bunch of stellar reviews on Google Maps. I ordered delivery via GrubHub and it came very quickly so the food was probably pretty fresh. My husband and brother in law both had the Arabic special and both complained about soggy, flavorless fries. We split an order of falafel that was just "okay", I guess. I had chicken shawarma over hummus and a chocolate baklava. The chicken was actually pretty good: tender and juicy and had good flavor. The hummus was a little different. Not bad, but not great. Same with the baklava being not bad but not great. I know the prices we paid were probably inflated a bit due to ordering through GrubHub and the food wasn't delicious enough to warrant the price. I doubt we will order from here again, but if we do, it'll be in-store, not delivery! read more

So grateful to have a late night food option in this side of town! Great portion sizes, affordable, and food that is flavor forward - all things that are hard to find in Seattle! The wraps come with a salad mix as well as a variety of sauces, including something that tastes a bit like thousand island. If you're not a big sauce/dressing person, just ask to leave it off. They had generous portions of meat and the bread was fresh too! If you're out late and looking for a quick and filling meal to end the night on, definitely can't go wrong here! Cross the Ballard bridge and you'll soon see the flashing lights that will beckon you to flavortown! read more

Absolutely fantastic food. I have eaten here at least 10 times and always choose something different. The ingredients are very fresh, flavor and quality is so satisfying. Everyone is so nice! The attention to detail in prep, portions and tastes are supreme! Don't forget to try the tea- it always makes me smile! read more

I guess if it was 2 o'clock in the morning, you were a few drinks deep, and you just needed something to get you to bed that this would be a totally fabulous experience... However, sober in the early evening, it is anabomination. The chicken Shawarma, which is the first thing on their menu, comes wrapped in a flour tortilla with some flavorless sauce, shredded iceberg, lettuce, and grilled chicken breast. There is one scraggly little tomato, one sad wheel of cucumber and one pepper smashed into the side of your to go box. For $16 I'm furious. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else read more

We had dinner here tonight' and I was impressed with the quality. The shawarma was big and very tasty with hummus, pickles, chicken and pickled veggies. Highly recommend the lentil soup and the cardamom tea Im looking forward to going back regularly read more

I called in an order and when I arrived at the time stated they had not even started making the order. The food was really good and well sized portions, so maybe it was an honest mistake. Inside was pretty loud and the front door was really hard to open possibly because of the commercial hoods and not enough make up air. read more

There are a number of good shawarma places in Seattle but this might be my favorite. Tried for the first time today and I'm hooked! Spicy chicken was great. The falafel was fresh fried and not dry at all. The sauces were perfect. read more

We've been in search of a great shawarma spot and we've found it! Delicious saj shawarma at the right price.

These guys are a hidden gem. I went there because I was in the area and basically nothing else was open. But oh my goodness. I came pretty close to closing time, and they were finishing up cleaning when I walked in. But when I stepped in, a worker immediately dropped his cleaning products and asked what I wanted to eat. No negative "we were almost done cleaning and now there's a customer" attitude. He genuinely wanted to help me and send me home with excellent food. And man, the food was absolutely incredible. There are almost 20 shawarma restaurants in Seattle. This is the best one I have been to. The food from these guys I grabbed on my way home from work was completely superior to any bougie sit-down shawarma restaurant I've ever been to here. I'm surprised they're not losing money based on ingredient quality relative to the prices (food is extremely reasonably priced). Seriously, try their food. It will give you an entirely new perspective on food from the Levant. read more

Holy moly the gyro on a pita is AMAZING. Like, unreal. My partner had the shawarma chicken wrap and also enjoyed it, but the gyro was the winner. I can't wait to go back. read more

Love this place. It's just cheap, fast, good shawarma. The employees are friendly and efficient. I pick up take out from them often.

Just bad bland food. The sauces are bland, the meat is tasteless, and the prices are high
