    SMALL Greek Fries
    Chandra P.

    Shawarma Time has become a lunch favorite for many of my customers within the area. I greatly appreciate ease of ordering and arranging delivery. The menu is offers great variety, and portion options which works perfectly for office personnel as their allotted break times vary. Customer service and the quality of order is always great. The Greek fries are never soggy, and the seasoning on the Greek salad is fantastic! I will definitely order again, and highly recommend!

    The food here is absolutely delicious! We stopped by in Bothell, and I suddenly got hungry, so I convinced my husband to eat here. We ordered the beef and lamb shawarma and kebab with fries--both packed with flavor and served in huge portions. I couldn't even finish mine and had to take it to go (classic case of "my eyes were bigger than my stomach" ). To make the experience even better, they surprised us with a free dessert--and wow, it was amazing! Great food, generous portions, and wonderful hospitality. Definitely worth coming back for!

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    First time stopping in for a shawarma plate to go. Went with the chicken plate. The chicken was very flavorful and tasty. I had higher hopes for the hummus though, was a bit underwhelming. The pita could have been better too. My bar is pretty high with shawarma, Mr Gyros is my baseline to compare to. I'd go with a 3.5 star if I could. I'll be back but probably just for a side of the chicken.

    Nice, clean, bright, welcoming design.

    I tried this place because someone said it's good. I love gyros. I went to many gyros/shawarma places. So I gave a try. I odered lamb & beef Shawarma plate. This place cuts the meat in tiny tiny pieces, not slices, about 1 x .5 cm. He put it on top of the grill again. It made the meat dry, not juicy. The seasoning wasn't to my liking. The rice was dry too. I tried to reason why people like it. It's probably just me? The restaurant itself is nice. I just wish the employee that helped me can be friendly and put more smile & energy to welcome customers. I think I like its competitor in Bothell area as well better ~ food wise & service with excitement.

    Crispy Fries

    Tried this place for the first time. The beef and lamb wrap was good. A little greasier than I expected, but tasted good. My friend got the chicken plate and that was really great. Pita was thick and fluffy. Basmati rice was good. The fries are pretty good. I liked how crispy they were, but not "too" crispy. Baklava was great, crispy flakey and the right amount of moist. Next time (and I definitely plan to go back) I plan to get the Beef and Lamb Shawarma Plate as I think I would prefer the pita. UPDATE: I went back and got the Beef and Shawarma Plate. I liked it even more than the wrap. I'll definitely eat here again!

    Honestly, I went in expecting better than it really was. Service was ok. Didn't have many people working. I noticed a few guys come in a few minutes after our friend group entered. They were on a smoke break but one of them came in, didn't wash their hands and put gloves on. Wasn't super sanitary in my opinion. The place itself is a decent size. Not space for more than 15 people probably. Now to the food. Food was pretty good, just not great or amazing. Portion sizes were generous and overall food was tasty. The fries were the best part. They made them crispy and they tasted really good!

    I had lunch there today during their Grand Opening for this location. I must say that this is absolutely the best beef shawarma meat I have ever had and I am a big fan of meat shawarma. This was the Real Shawarma that was prepared and cooked the authentic way as if I was in the Middle East. My sandwich was amazing. Also both of the Humus and Falafel were delicious and very authentic. They served free fresh made desserts today that were truly out of this world. I am so glad ti have a real Shawarma place close to me. The owners and staff were also very friendly and extremely nice.

    We went to Shawarma time around 9pm on a Friday. We were excited because we thought we finally found a shawarma place on the east side that's open later than 7pm. We got a gyro plate and overall it wasn't bad, it just also wasn't great. The salad was small but not bad overall and the hummus was not good. We really loved their fries. We got the crispy fries and really enjoyed them. If we go back it will definitely be to try the gyro fries. Service/ambiance is what you would expect for a fast food type establishment, there was nothing that stood out good or bad from this perspective. However, one surprise is that they wanted to charge us for water - they wouldn't give us tap water. So if you get thirsty, but don't want a soda or want to buy water, bring a water bottle. The location is good. It's in the Thrashers corner complex so there's plenty of parking. There just isn't a ton of seating so if you have a big group plan ahead. They allowed us to move around tables to sit together which was nice. Overall, the reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because I think the food is good, not great, and when you factor in the price, I just think the value isn't there. I'm also still a little annoyed they tried to charge us for water.

    Delicious! My father was craving Turkish food and we found this place with great ratings in Yelp! We tried this place for the first time. My father thinks it tastes authentic and he was just at Turkey! We loved the garlic sauce on the fries. The portion of meat was good. I ordered the chicken platter and some parts were dry but others were tender. I really liked the sauce on it and the side of fresh hummus. The place was clean and the service was great! They even gave us a free baklava to try. We'll be back!

    Looooved everything! We got the delicious chicken shawarma platter, with garlic mayo on the chicken, spicy peppers on the hummus and a perfectly dressed salad. My kids ate it all! My husband got the wrap, which he thought was pretty outstanding, as well. The fries were awesome, super crispy. The mango lassi was also delicious. They have a pretty good variety of bottled Turkish drinks, but we didn't try them this time. The cooks and owner were all super duper nice and greeted us with big smiles. The place is small, but clean. No changing table in the restroom, but I used the cabinet that was there :p. Definitely coming back!

    The best shawarma I've ever had. Everything about it was delicious. The meat, the sauces, the wrap, the pickled onions and pickles. We were shocked how good it was and am excited that this place is in Bothell!

I can say the meat looked like high quality and tasted great! The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because I personally wasn't a huge fan of the banchan (side dishes) that were offered. There was salad, that had like the full bottom parts of lettuce in it, there was onions in some kind of sauce, kimchi, just not a lot of things I personally like to eat. I would say their banchan definitely leans more towards Asian clientel, so if you go with someone who is a picky eater or not super familiar with asian/korean food, then just be aware of that I'd say. Overall though, I would say come here for the high quality meat! The service was good, but personally, I just won't be returning. I feel like there are other K-BBQ places that meet my taste buds more than this place.

Solid offering. Plenty of different sauces to season to taste. We started with the American Salt and Pepper corn. That was my favorite dish of the meal - a tasty and fun offering. Nice to have something a little different and this one delivered. Spicy and savory. Loved it. We also ordered the yellow curry with chicken. It was good - flavorful and filling. Next up was the Singapore noodles. They were ok but somewhat lacking in "pop" vs. what you might get in a dedicated Chinese restaurant. The last item was the Black Pepper beef. Good but a little bland as well. If I come back I'll definitely order the Salt and Pepper Corn again and explore more of the Indian inspired dishes. I get the feeling that they are stronger in that department vs. the Chinese influenced offerings. The waitstaff was very good - kudos for taking care of us.

Unjustified service charge. We were a party of 5. Your own policy adds a mandatory service charge for parties of 6 or more. We were still charged 20% automatically , then handed a tip prompt suggesting another 20%+ on top. That's not a policy, that's a shakedown. We were overcharged. My physical bill read $205. My bank notification said $215. When I went back to question it, staff kept pointing me to a digital bill that showed a different amount than what I had in hand. After pushing back, they acknowledged the discrepancy and offered my mom and me $10 InChin gift cards each as resolution. The gift cards were a trap. They came with a 10-day expiration. I live my life , I can't guarantee I'll return within 10 days, especially after this experience. So that $10 "resolution" is money I'll never see again. I was charged $10 extra AND a service charge I shouldn't have paid. This wasn't a mistake. Mistakes get fixed transparently. This was a string of decisions that benefited the restaurant at the customer's expense and when caught, the "fix" was designed to keep the money anyway. I've recommended this place to friends and family for years. That stops now.

    I haven't had much West African food in the past so when we were looking for some new food to try…read moreout over the weekend, we came across Bantaba. As other reviews state, this is kind of a strange restaurant that seems more like it's for regulars rather than new customers. There's no actual printed menu other than hints of a menu on the signboard above the register (and we confirmed this with the cashier). I guess this is to save on cost, which coincidentally also allows them to adjust pricing on the fly? There are photos posted of the menu from 2024, but my guess is those are of an old pre-COVID menu, given that the prices increased over 50% at this point. Per other reviews, dine-in orders are also packaged in takeout boxes and can take a variable amount of time to cook. We don't usually get takeout much, but decided to call in an order for this visit. This was at around 5PM on Saturday and we were promised a 30 minute wait. We arrived 30 minutes later, paid for the order, and it ended up taking about another 10 minutes. Not too bad. Benechin Beef ($18.99) - As I learned, benechin is essentially a different term for the more commonly known (at least in the US) jollof rice. In this case, the rice has a deep tomato and spiced umami that combines a pleasant saltiness with a heat level that builds and builds. It's topped with a small side of cabbage that seems to be stewed in the same spices as the rice. There's then a piece of yucca root, stewed but still rather toothsome with fiber strands all in one direction like muscle grains. For the beef, they include four pieces of thinly sliced barbecued meat. The meat is extremely flavorful with what seems to be a black pepper and allium based spice mixture. In terms of texture, it's quite tough and chewy, almost to the level of beef jerky. (4/5) Afra Lamb ($20.99) - This dish comes with a choice of rice or salad, not both as the older menu states. We went with the rice which comes in a smaller container and is a long grain rice cooked until perfectly fluffy. It's cooked with salt, which is something that I'm not used to. The larger container includes a mound of bone-in lamb meat doused in a savory and tangy mustard based sauce. The meat is a very interesting mixture of off-cuts, a combination of cross-cut ribs, shanks, lamb chops, and some random other cuts. The lamb is mostly bone in and there are tons of small bone shards all over the meat, making it a bit of a pain to eat. The meat isn't very gamey and all and is much more tender as compared to the beef jerky in the benechin. On top of the lamb, they include mustard infused softened onions and whole quick-charred onion rings, resulting in a still crunchy texture. They include some powdered dried chilis is a small pile hidden under the onions. Be careful - it's starts out smoky like paprika to start and the heat only starts to build after a couple of seconds. (4/5) Bantaba is a great place to try some new food. While it's not the most beginner friendly restaurant, it offers some flavors and dishes that are hard to find around Seattle.
