    Amazing Chicken Shawarma Plate!
    Yeounoh C.

    Amazing food, large portion fresh Mediterranean salad. Loved every bite! I am definitely coming back for more when I visit the town.

    #1. Lamb & Beef Gyros ($10.99)
    Wendi K.

    Casual takeout spot in SLU, order at the window - very quick and convenient. There are a few tables inside to sit in. It's warm inside though be forewarned for warm days! You can pick a protein and order it in sandwich, plate, or salad form. Tried the #1 Lamb and Beef Gyro Sandwich ($10.99) - it was simple, tasty, and amazing. The pita bread was super soft and the tzatziki was also excellent. Good amount of protein. The iceberg lettuce and tomatoes were perfect for crunch.

    Full lamb/beef gyro, partial Greek salad, partial order of fries

    One million/10, will order again soon. The gyro meat was sliced from a cone (as it should be!) and the servings were plentiful. French fries PERFECT. Tzatziki sauce OUTSTANDING. Gyro AMAZING. Thank you!

    2. Chicken Gyros
    Audrey L.

    A quick, convenient gyro spot! The food is good and prices are fair. There's not a lot of seating, so this is more of a grab and go place. I got the chicken gyros and split the Greek fries. The chicken gyros were tasty and came with a lot of chicken! I had enough leftovers to last the next day. The chicken was a little on the drier side, but overall felt like this was a good meal for the price. I really enjoyed the Greek fries; the fries were perfectly crisp and I loved all the toppings. Would recommend this!

    Lamb &Beef Gyro Plate with Stuffed Grape Leaves (served cold)

    Great lamb and beef gyro plate! Absolutely delicious! The rice was surprisingly fluffy and made the dish that much better. Excellent service as well - I was about to order a side salad, but the man behind the counter informed me that the plate came with a salad. Some other places would've just taken the order and stuck me with extra salad, but he was more concerned about serving his customers well. It's the reason I'm writing this review. I'll be back often and plan to become a regular.

    I just moved to Seattle, and this is one of the first places I have eaten at. It. Is. Good. I used to live in Chicago 5 years ago, where there were tons of restaurants that served delicious gyros. I haven't had good gyro meat since... up until now. I ordered the gyro plate. It's a bit pricier than I'm used to, but I guess this is near the center of Seattle so ok FINE, I shall ignore that. It comes with a simple fresh salad of tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, lettuce, a sprinkling of feta cheese, and a couple delicious kalamata olives, just be careful they still have pits inside. It also comes with perfectly seasoned yellow rice, which complements the wonderful slices of gyro meat that is piled up on top of it. Finally there is tzatziki sauce in a cup... I will say I much prefer the cucumber sauce they use in Chicago, but this one, which is more like a dill sauce, is good in its own way. I also tried the tahini sauce which was great (it's kind of like a thin hummus), and the spicy sauce. Everything went well together. OH it also came with a soft warm pita which I used to make my own gyro sandwich with, using the ingredients in the plate! By the way, the plate was big enough to feed me twice. If I wanted to eat lighter, maybe twice and a snack. I don't usually eat that lightly, though.

    Cute little gyro place! My beef & lamp gyro plate was amaaazing - the meat was super tender & flavorful, and a good simple salad with rice. We LOVED the Greek fries, they were absolutely amazing!!!! However our side of falafel was super dry and crumbly... seemed like it was old or maybe just an off-day. They have pretty good tzatziki sauce though!! Portions were decently sized. I'd definitely go back again for those Greek fries and the gyro plate.

    Tanoor is one of the more pleasant surprises in my time in Seattle. I've always thought about the…read moreWestlake / SLU area as a food dessert. Filled with corporate slop bowls to fuel up tech bros, you won't find a decent meal anywhere on this side of the lake. But Tanoor is kind of like that special someone who has been there your whole life but you've always looked past for greener pastures. This restaurant was staring me right in the eyes for years, and I didn't realize how magnificent it was until today. When you walk in you are greeted by warm, fresh and fluffy pita. Guess what, IT COMES WITH THE MEAL! Everyone knows I'm a sucker for some free bread. But don't let these Lebanese pillows fill you up, the dip marathon has just begun. The menu here is unlike anything I've ever seen. You can get lost trying to figure out what to order for lunch, so I would advise consulting the waitstaff for guidance through this delightful maze. I just looked on their menu to figure out what the fries that I ate were called, and I can't find them for the life of me. But they had their own incredible dip completely covering them. At one point we had 4 different dips on the table, and I'm not sure how they got there. 1) The dip on the fries 2) Spicy hummus (not that spicy, incredibly tasty) 3) Za'tar that comes with the pita 4) Yogurt sauce that came with the Kabob combo Everything comes with something else here. And since I was having an electric conversation with my good friend, I sort of lost track of everything that we ordered. But if you love dipping things in other things as much as I do, you will love Tanoor!

    The food here is pretty good. The fresh bread that is served at the table is the highlight. This…read morerestaurant has a modern vibe and is a nice dine in option in the area. I highly recommend the combo for two to three people as you get a variety of different appetizers and all of the main kabobs. However, a couple of things that really made this experience mediocre. First, the meat was overcooked even though I asked for medium rare. Most of the meat came out medium well. The rice was undercooked and hard when you bit into it. The server could have been more attentive.. didn't come back to check on us, even though the restaurant wasn't super busy. The biggest disappointment is that this establishment passes on a 5% fee to help pay for their staff's benefits. They stay it's optional and they can take it off but it's very distasteful. The owner should reconsider this and build this expense into the pricing of their menu. Otherwise their wait staff is going to feel slighted when customers leave less tip because of this additional fee. Overall, this is a solid place, but the experience was just average considering all aspects, and therefore the three star rating.

    Me and my friends were in search of a good brunch place in Seattle for one of our friend's birthday…read moreand came across Lola thru OpenTable. As we looked at the menu, we thought that the food choices were interesting and that it wasn't a typical american brunch offering. Upon our arrival the host was very accommodating as we wanted to bring in balloons and cake. They were very friendly and the food was amazing that we weren't able to take photos before devouring the meal. The place had a very cozy feel. 10/10 would recommend and would come back to try more.

We personally did not care for the flavor or thigh meat chicken kebab but it was presented nicely and the sauce was flavorful. The steak was nice and cooked just right but could have used some finishing salt. We also had 3 cocktails. 2 of them were delicious. One which is not in the photos was called ouz operator and I simply did not enjoy it, at all, matter of personal taste. Server didn't ask how everything was or if we liked it, and I thought that was a bit odd. Our server was friendly but she was also busy with a lot of tables and our interactions felt more quick and business like. A couple times we needed something I had to make eye contact to get attention. Inside was quite nice. Simple. We had a booth by the window and it was just right. Overall a very nice time if you want this style of food.

I arrived 20 minutes before opening and was first in line. One friend joined me 10 minutes later. At 5pm it was just the two of us, so I asked for a table for 4 and explained that I'd happily order food and drinks for everyone immediately, even though the rest of the group was still fighting the weekday traffic. The hostess refused, so we stepped aside. 2 minutes later our 3rd friend arrived. I asked the group behind us if they minded us getting back in line. They laughed and said it was no problem because they had just had their 3rd person arrive as well. When I got back in line, the hostess deliberately skipped over me and called the next group instead. After seating them, I stopped her and asked for a table for 3. She asked if it would "really" be just 3. At that point I honestly didn't know. Our 4th friend was driving from Everett and had texted that she was stuck in standstill traffic. I said yes, seat the 3 of us. The hostess told us to wait while she seated yet another group, taking the last indoor table. We were then placed outside on a hot day. Despite how the evening started, I did exactly what I'd said I would. We ordered dinner for the entire group, including 2 bottles of wine to avoid inconveniencing them with making drinks. Then, incredibly, the hostess came back to our table and removed the 4th chair to make absolutely sure our last friend couldn't join us if she arrived. It felt petty, unnecessary, and frankly embarrassing. What should have been a joyful reunion became a stressful experience because of one person's rigid and unwelcoming attitude. The food was equally inconsistent. The labneh was extremely sour and came with cold, slightly stale pita. The squid & lamb were overly salty. The kohlrabi with peaches was so aggressively smoky that we left almost the entire dish untouched. The mushrooms were fine. The grilled pork was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The cod was just okay, and the desserts were average. We spent ~$500 for the meal. People don't spend this kind of money just for the food. The price reflects the entire experience, and that's where this restaurant failed. The service felt cold, impersonal, and overly focused on rules instead of hospitality. Rather than making guests feel welcome, the hostess made us feel like a problem she had to manage. I've had warmer, friendlier service at fast food restaurants. I won't be returning, and I took the time to write this review because no meal, especially one marking such a meaningful reunion, should be overshadowed by such an unnecessarily unpleasant welcome.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb.

I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side. My partner got the falafel saj wrap which was overall ddcent, but he also found the saj bread quite soggy, yet the falafels were on the dry side.
