Goodies Mediterranean Market — Attraction in Seattle

The restaurant was very disappointing especially after reading all the great reviews I was really looking forward to trying the Veggie plate. The falafel was not good. It was very dense and old tasting. The babaganoush was bitter. It taste like it came from a can. The rice was good not great. The tahini sauce that was poured over the 3 falafels was probably less than a tablespoon served with three sticks of pickled radishes (whatever happened to onions) and tomato slices. One major plus was the humus was outstanding. This was definitely homemade and authentic and it showed. They just ran out of food and threw whatever they could together and served me and my daughter and. We will not be going back for this very reason. We also bought nearly $200 worth of groceries from the store and paid prior to eating at the restaurant another mistake. The quality of groceries were great and the family seem like folks but they have a policy that if you use a credit card you have to pay a $20 fee extra in the store. I offered to pay using a debit but was told it did not matter. Later I found that there was an ATM machine upstairs in the restaurant where I could have withdrawn the cash and paid for the groceries and saved the $20 if I had been told this information. Also, the restaurant only accepts cash payment for services. This family has a good business going on. They are making an additional $20 off every customer they get in their store by telling customers the will be charged an extra $20 if they do not pay by cash, because they know no one in America carries cash anymore. It’s a major scam! Beware of this place. I give them a 2 because they have good products...

Awful Store front by the main road. Very bad esthetic, and an eye sore,and low class idea Especially with that chain link surrounding the front. Which is under the Goodies store sign.

But once you you discover the store ,then you find this Amazing, Very nice place to shop for Mediterranean groceries.

Lots of fresh cuts of different meat( Lamb,goat,beef) beautifully cut,prepared, and packaged.

They have canned, frozen,refrigerated, and dry packaged groceries. Their shelves are full of many different specialty unique groceries, and snacks, and great selection of arabic,Turkish, persian,Palkan, Indian, and Pakistan food items

They pay attention to neatness, cleanliness, good display, and show casing their products.

Prices are on the higher side, but this is a specialty food store,and their groceries are unique, and very difficult to get. They are not items you can find in a regular common grocery store,expect to pay more.

They have nice crew working in the meat department, and have really good customer service. Their casheir (Eidy) has an outstanding customer service,and friendly, welcoming attitude.

Nice parking lot at the bottom of the driveway I recommend this place for shopping this type...

As a classic carless transplant from NYC, I was struggling to find a good halal meat grocery store in the Seattle area (since all the other halal meat shops recommended to me were just outside the city and would be better off using a car to get those places rather than an hour long ride involving multiple transfers on public transit). I was also tired of having to order halal meat online for delivery, since unfortunately in any big city, from coast to coast, ppl love stealing packages. Took a 15 min express bus ride to pick up some food and stumbled upon Goodies down below in the parking lot that is next to/behind their street level restaurant Man'oushe Express (which has some decent tasty food, but not even close to what I could get back in NYC 😅). They have a bunch of middle eastern goods and a halal meat section up front. Just go up to the meat counter and tell them what you want. I got some beef and chicken, which were fresh, cut, and wrapped. They have lamb as well. I get my produce from elsewhere but I did notice they have some stuff in the back. There are freezers at the wall with frozen halal items. And for the kids, or ppl that are still a kid at heart, there's halal gummies and...
