    Inside
    Jared W.

    Stopped by here with a friend since we were in the mood for this type of cuisine. There wasn't anyone inside when we arrived so we were readily received at the register. The person helping us was quick with the process, which I always appreciate. The inside of the store is pretty small but there are a couple of tables with some chairs if you choose to eat there. I liked how relatively clean it was. I ended up getting a lamb & beef gyro. They definitely stuffed that thing so there was plenty of food! My friend got the lamb and beef shawarma and I tried some of hers. I would say that both had great flavor with a decent blend of spices, but the meat was just a tad bit dry. Still a good spot though!

    Cute little spot in Redmond town center. First time I try this place! The food was good and flavorful but the chicken shawarma didn't have the shawarma flavor that I'm typically used to. Portions are huge. The gentleman that worked there was friendly and helpful. Although there is a gluten free menu which includes wraps, when I asked for gf bread he said they didn't have any. Also, the salad on my platter didn't have any dressing...not sure if this was missed or if this how it's typically presented. My husband got the chicken shawarma sandwich and enjoyed it but also mentioned that the flavor wasn't quite what he was expecting.

    The chicken shawarma here is perhaps the best I have tried in Redmond area. 4 start is because the ambience is not that great. Otherwise food is really great. Service is pretty quick too.

    Wow!! This place packed serious flavor. I have never had baba ganoush before. As far as my memory goes. The one I ordered with a pita bread from here: creamy and full of flavor! I would order this again. I also ordered the cauliflower wrap. Oh my God. Perfect refreshing vegetables and fried cauliflower. Tzatziki sauce makes it better. The whole thing was flavorful and filling. This meal made me not miss eating meat for dinner. For one time only. If you can do a really awesome job at selling me two vegetarian items for about the same price as a regular shawarma wrap? Count Me In! And you can bet, even though this place was a crammed (not with people) space, the food was well worth the wait. Don't skip it! Give it a try!! Two thumbs up!

    4.5 Stars A small, casual spot in Redmond Town Center with authentic shawarma. I had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap ($12.95+tax) and it was spiced wonderfully (I even tasted cardamon!), was not too greasy, was filling, and very delicious. I watched them build it and they do NOT skimp on the protein! There's not much extras in the wrap - it is just simple with sauce, pickles, and protein. They are very quick too with making orders :) The staff is very kind. I would love to try their other items like their plates and salads with kebabs and falafel.

    Shawarma Time in Redmond Town Center is a solid Mediterranean grill serving all the classic dishes you'd expect. Big plus right off the bat: easy parking in the nearby garage. I was honestly blown away by the portion size -- they do not skimp here. The chicken shawarma was wonderfully spiced, flavorful, and cooked really well. Prices felt very reasonable for how much food you get, and the free hot tea at the end was a sweet touch (literally and figuratively). My only small downside is a personal preference: I don't like my food touching, and the to-go container was packed so full that food items that don't mix well for me were touching. If that doesn't bother you, this is probably a non-issue. After my visit, I saw their recent health inspection. The report listed several critical violations, including improper cold holding temperatures, cooking/reheating procedures, and handwashing. That definitely gave me some pause and is something I hope they address moving forward. Overall, the food itself was tasty and a great value and the staff was awesome, but the health inspection findings are important to consider. If they address that, it'll definitely be worth a visit if you're in the area.

    They do not skimp on portions at this place, so if you go in hungry you certainly won't leave that way! I went with 5 people, all of whom were very happy with their food! The people running Shawarma Time at the Redmond mall were also super friendly. It's a small place, so finding room to eat inside may be a challenge but while we were there, they did a solid carry-out business so I'm sure you can get it to-go and still be happy with your food.

    Great shawarma spot! I had heard about this earlier and was going to check out the Seattle location, but I found myself a couple minutes away from it when I was in Redmond, I decided to finally try it out! And boy I was glad I did. I tried both the chicken and beef shawarmas they were both very good. I enjoyed the fact that they were sticking to the authentic way of making them using the saj bread and the basic toppings for each. No lettuce, no spinach, no feta cheese, or any other additions that people sometimes add in. Just stick to the basics, cause the basics were great! I will be back here again to have some more shawarmas! And I am curious to see how the other locations vary in quality as well.

    I was teetering at a 3.5 or four, but the service was so good that they get 4. Located in Redmond town center with plenty of parking. This casual restaurant has two tables that can see parties of four with barstool seating. Order at the counter food comes pretty quick service is very friendly and knowledgeable. So why the four stars well the food was OK. I appreciate that. They have designated vegan food options clearly labeled, which is what I ordered. I thought my plate was good. The cauliflower is really good. The falafel's were OK. The baba ghanoush & pita was great, and the hummus was OK. Not sure if it was the olive oil that threw me off but it's okay. If you're looking for quick, vegan Halal or Mediterranean food in Redmond, this is a place to try !

    Shwarma Time is a small easy to miss place in Redmond Town Center. Do not miss out on this sleeper. The friendly greetings from the staff, cleanliness and the delicious large portion reasonably priced food can't be beat for a quick lunch dinner. I was blown away by the size of my chicken shwarma plate! I will be back for sure.

    Falafel Wrap $10.95
    Amy B.

    Wow! So tasty. More below. For anyone like me with tactile aversion and food (eg, stress from messy finger foods)...behold the wonders of their mostly perfectly wrapped and encapsulated falafel wrap! It didn't even start to break apart until the very end, and even then was manageable. Only a 1.5 napkin meal! Food: great flavor and texture, perfect ratio of ingredients-to-wrap. I only had the falafel wrap and will definitely be coming back to try more items! Also, I don't like pickles but actually like theirs! Service: Friendly! Fast! Don't be fooled by the simple storefront. This place is SO delicious and worth the walk or drive to Redmond Town Center.

    Solid Mediterranean grill in downtown Redmond. I have tried the Bothell location in the past ; but I wasn't that impressed. The offerings look similar - more or less the same menu. It's a small shop with limited seating. Ordered Beef & Lamb Shawarma, Chicken Shawarma and a Falafel super wrap. There were just staffs at that location and plenty of takeout and online orders. Time to get the food was longer than anticipated. The portion of the food was good. Shawarmas were spiced and flavorful. The meat was well cooked - juicy and tender chicken in the shawarma. Very impressed by the Falafel super wrap - Falafel wrapped in their saj bread with cauliflower, eggplant, pickles, mixed salad, lettuce, hummus a special flavored tahini sauce. Yum! Everything is great about this place. Loved the flavor and the portion of the food. Wait time is a little harsh. There are near by parking garages for convenient parking. Great place!

    Ordered shawarma time after a long flight home because they were open late, and I am so glad we did! This is one of my favorite shawarma spots in the area. It was so tasty. The only thing I missed was a hot sauce (they probably have it but I didn't see it on the doordash menu).

    Tasteless and soggy, pretty bad. Edible for sure, but hardly memorable. I'm sure there are many better places.

The space is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and since it was a sunny day, we were able to sit outside on the patio, which made the meal even nicer. We started with the eggplant dip, and as someone who has never liked eggplant, I was honestly surprised by how good it was. It has a creamy, hummus‑like texture and a really balanced flavor. I would absolutely order it again. The gyros were solid -- nothing overly fancy, but exactly what you expect and want from a good gyro. No complaints there. The service was friendly, and you can tell the owners take pride in what they do. Overall, great food, great service, and a business I'm happy to support. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a gyro.

The chicken shawarma plate was pretty expensive for what I got. $25 with tip. Portions were decent. A light dinner for two or a solid amount for one hungry person. The chicken shwarma was unfortunately pretty dry, to the point where it was cloying in my throat. The rice was flavorful, as was the hummus and garlic paste. Overall, I think I'd be better off getting a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store and some naan and hummus for 1/2 of the price. The portions and garlic paste were almost redeeming factors. Maybe it's better in person.

The service was a bit slow, but our server was incredibly kind and apologized for the delay by bringing us complimentary falafel plates, which we really appreciated. It was a thoughtful gesture that made the experience much better. One thing to keep in mind is that the portion sizes are quite generous, so it's easy to share dishes. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so I'd recommend making a reservation, especially during busy hours. Overall, a nice place with tasty food, generous portions, and warm hospitality

A friendly greeting as I walk into the establishment which is always welcome. A bowl of hot soup comes quickly after taking a seat... Pondering through the menu which I know by heart I order either the Shish Tawook, which is charbroiled tenderized chicken served over rice with a garlic sauce, YUM. However if that's not grabbing me I get the Kafta Kabob served over Yellow Rice, Hummus, Salad and Pita Bread to scoop up all those flavors. Occasionally I have the best of all world plate which is The Combination Plate featuring the Kabob Kafta kabob, Shish Tawook and lamb kabob charbroiled with tomatoes and onions. Now if that does not excite you nothing will... The place can get a rocking loud cause it's not huge but it has all the comforts of a big loud family meal. Parking is limited so be patient but the food is worth it 1000%.... And bring some mints cause it's a garlic night out...
