    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!

    Mixed vegetable platter
    Ramya A.

    The service is amazing and the mixed vegetable platter was great! The falafel and cauliflower had great flavor. I would love to go back and try the wrap!

    Great service, very nice people and the food incredibly delicious. Location may be hard to find due to being surrounded by other businesses, although you can't miss it if you follow your nose to the inviting smell.

    The Lamb curry and saag paneer were perfection Highly…read morerecommend!!!! Nice atmosphere too

    Man, I really want to give 4 stars here, but I just can't quite give it the 4th, unfortunately…read more I had just finished a grueling four days* of working in Puget Sound, which involved a lot of being out and about without knowing where I'd be or what I'd be doing the next hour, so you can imagine how exhausted I was when I came in to order a nice takeout meal for dinner. For whatever reason, I was craving Mediterranean food, and when I was searching for Mediterranean food in the Bothell area, where I was going to be spending the next couple of days afterwards, this restaurant showed up third on the list! As I was looking through the menu, I noticed their main cuisine is Indian cuisine, yet they also served Mediterranean food, which I thought was intriguing, yet a little dubious as I believe that a restaurant serving a multitude of cuisines could subject themselves to being spread too thin in their kitchen. I had looked at their menu beforehand and had decided to get the Gyro Platter, Butter Masala with Chicken, and the Goat Biryani, hoping the Goat would also mean "Greatest of All Time." I also got some butter and garlic naan to go with the meal. When I came in, Azmat was there to serve me. He had such a pleasant and calming demeanor that I wish the quality of the food would have matched that of his level of service. After reciting my order to him, he mentioned it would take 15 to 20 minutes for my order to be ready. I was sitting in a seat by the front door while several other customers came in to pick up their online orders. I thought about ordering online, but realized it would have cost a few dollars extra to do so, hence why I decided to go there in person to order. After 10 minutes, a server noticed me sitting there and offered to assist. I knew it was early, so there wasn't much she could do at this point. 15 minutes later, an employee came from the back to hand me my takeout order while apologizing for the long wait. Well, not too bad of an extended wait though. But what was too bad was the two Indian dishes that I ordered. Neither the Goat Biryani nor the Butter Masala really left any impression whatsoever. They definitely didn't taste bad, but I felt the flavors in both were quite muted. I did like the Gyro Platter better, though, but I wouldn't say it was as good as other Mediterranean spots I've been to in SoCal. The Naan breads didn't leave any impression either; I would have guessed it was just plain Naan bread. For a fraction of the cost, I'm sure you could go to one of Safeway, Fred Meyer, or even QFC for a pack of plain Naan bread that would taste almost as good. Bay Leaf Bar & Grill is located at the base of the Junction Apartments next to McMenamins Anderson School. There's plenty of parking closer to the school, but parking adjacent to Bay Leaf is quite scarce. There's a wide bike path that almost looks like a sidewalk, but is wide enough for cars to drive through. There are a few on-street parking spots directly in front, but right before these spots, there's an alleyway that has a few parking spots albeit 15 minutes only. Some of the spots are reserved for McMenamins, but I do remember the first one not having any mention of McMenamins. I wouldn't mind coming back if I wanted a taste of both Mediterranean and Indian in the same meal, especially since the interior looked so fancy and well-maintained! However, if I wanted just one or the other, I'd look elsewhere next time I'm visiting the area. Overall, 7 stars out of 10, but rounded down. * My visit was back in November of 2025; I had gone on a hiatus from posting reviews, hence the rather last post.

    Came here by accident while waiting near a comic bookstore, and wow, what a find…read more 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.

    Safeway has coupons for $2 off any entree or salad and $5 off $20 or more for Mediterranean Oasis…read moreon 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.
