Shawarma Shack — Restaurant in Seattle

These days, for some reason, I have been really into Mediterranean food. Lately, I’ve been visiting many Mediterranean restaurants in the Seattle area to find the best one.

Lately, I was recommended to try out Shawarma Shack in Capitol Hill. It is located right across from Seattle Central College, right in the heart of the Capitol Hill area.

For those familiar with the neighborhood, parking can be a bit challenging. However, with a little patience, you can usually find a spot in a nearby garage or on the street after driving around a few blocks.

Now, let’s get into the most important part. The place looks pretty new and well-managed. There are plenty of tables, and the spacing between them is generous enough for my friends and me to enjoy our conversations while we eat.

In terms of the menu, there are a lot of options including gyro wraps, shawarma wraps, platters, salads, and a variety of vegetarian dishes. For most menu items, you can choose a protein such as beef, lamb, or chicken. Offering vegetarian options is a big plus.

To make the most out of our trip to Capitol Hill, we ordered the #1 Chicken Shawarma Combo and the #2 Beef and Lamb Shawarma Combo. Each combo is priced at $15.95 before sales tax and tip, and it comes with crispy French fries, sauce, pickles, and a canned drink.

Our food was made fresh in the kitchen after we ordered, and it was brought to our table by the staff. Both staff members were very friendly and professional.

As you can see in the photos I attached, the combo items are served in boxes so it makes easy to take food to go or save leftovers. The portion size was generous, and each wrap was cut in half, so my friend and I were able to share both the chicken and the beef and lamb wraps. When it comes to taste, the food was excellent. I am not exaggerating here... this is the best shawarma I’ve ever had. While I haven't had a lot of Mediterranean food, this is easily my favorite so far.

Since we were both fully satisfied with our wraps, we decided to end our meal with dessert here. We ordered one baklava and one choclava. Wow! Do not skip dessert here!! It was absolutely amazing.

I highly recommend Shawarma Shack to anyone looking for flavorful shawarma and authentic desserts. I will definitely be back anytime soon to try...

I recently visited Shawarma Shack and decided to try their falafel sandwich — and I’m so glad I did. The falafel was crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and perfectly spiced. It was served with fresh veggies and a tasty sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was delicious, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The price was also a pleasant surprise — very affordable for the quality and portion size. It felt like I got great value for what I paid, especially compared to similar places that often overcharge for less flavor or smaller portions. The environment was clean and well-kept, which made the dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. It’s always reassuring to eat somewhere that feels hygienic and organized. The overall vibe was casual and welcoming — perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. The service was okay. Nothing outstanding, but it was efficient. The staff was polite and handled the order without any issues. I didn’t have to wait too long, which is always a plus. All in all, I had a great experience at Shawarma Shack. The falafel sandwich was a winner, and I’m definitely planning to go back to try more items from the menu. If you’re looking for a spot with tasty food at a fair price and a clean environment, this place is worth...

I had a fantastic experience here! I ordered the chicken shawarma combo and the lamb & beef shawarma combo—both were packed with flavor, tender, and perfectly cooked. The Greek fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great addition to the meal.

I also treated myself to their baklava and choclava (a chocolate version of baklava), and both were absolutely delicious—flaky, rich, and the perfect sweet finish.

The location is super convenient, just steps from the train station, which makes it really easy to stop by. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and the service was friendly, fast, and genuinely attentive.

It’s always a great feeling to support a local business—especially one that delivers this kind of quality and care. If you’re in the area or just passing through, this spot is a must-try....
