This review is for the bellevue location only. My review is based on 4 criteria: Food Quality and taste, Service (how fast food was brought to table), Price, Atmosphere. Quality is very low, I mean I did not get sick, but I have been to lebanese and greek restaurants and this was my basis for comparison, this place was a total miss. As for sandwiches we ordered a Gyros, a chicken shawarma and a chicken kabob. The Gyros tasted nothing like a gyros, the other sandwiches were basically a rolled lavash with lettuce and sauce. I know what a good garlic sauce on shawarma tates like, and this sauce tasted nothing like a garlic sauce. The food had no taste, not the meat, not the sauce. Service was friendly but took about 25 minutes, If the food was good the wait would be worth it . Price is way too high for what they give you. the sandwiches were 10 dollars each and I think for a fast food place of that quality and portion I expected sandwiches to be 6.95 at the most. We had 3 sandwiches, a kids meal, a soup, a side of regular fries, and we forked over $75 including a modest tip. The atmosphere at the bellevue is basically non-existent, although it has seats for about 30, nevertheless, it should be a carry-out place at best. Overall it came down to the quality and taste of food. If the food tasted good I could easily overlook everything else. But it was not good. Maybe other locations are good, I will never know. My test for a restaurant is: will I go back again, and in this case I'm...
Read moreIf you're looking to enjoy delicious and authentic Arab food, you absolutely need to try this restaurant. What sets this place apart is that everything is prepared fresh, right after you order. The freshness adds an incredible taste to the food.
I’ve been searching for a specific kind of Shawarma, like the ones we used to have back home, not the kind cooked on a flat plate. They got it just right! The taste is truly authentic. The Shawarma sandwich is perfectly portioned for one person, the fries are flavorful, and the garlic sauce is a big hit with me and my kids. The Sheesh Tawook is also fantastic.
The Falafel is amazing—crispy, flavorful, and so good that I’ll definitely come back for more. For dessert, I recommend trying their Baklava. It’s the perfect sweet treat to end your meal.
We’re a family of four with two young kids, and we’ve tried many Arabic restaurants, but this one stands out. Even though I arrived just 10 minutes before closing, they welcomed us warmly and prepared my order with a big smile.
While the restaurant isn’t fancy, it has everything that matters: incredible food and authentic flavors. If you’re looking for a stylish ambiance, this might not be your spot. But if you care about truly delicious, authentic food, this will likely become your favorite place.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to experience authentic Arabic cuisine. It was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely come back whenever I visit...
Read moreGarlic Crush is a casual Mediterranean restaurant in Bellevue that offers a variety of delicious dishes. Here's a breakdown of three items I recently tried:
Garlic Fries: These fries are crispy and flavorful, with a generous sprinkling of what must be their signature garlic seasoning. The portion size is large, so consider sharing or saving some for later.
Chicken Kebab Plate: The chicken kebab comes with a bed of rice, a side salad, and warm pita bread. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. You can customize your plate with different sauces, including their signature garlic sauce (of course!).
Lentil Soup: This soup is hearty and filling, with a rich and flavorful broth. It's a great option for a vegetarian meal or a lighter starter.
Overall, Garlic Crush is a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. The food is fresh, flavorful, and the portions are generous. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, making it a good choice for a relaxed lunch or dinner.
Here are some additional things to consider:
Garlic Crush is a counter-service restaurant, so you'll order at the counter and then take a seat. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a variety of vegetarian and vegan...
