Falafel Fresh in Kirkland

You can taste the freshness and high-quality ingredients.

Sooooo yummy!!!!

Very Kind Service

Very fresh and delicious. Falafels could have more seasoning though.

Edit in reply to owner reply: The rice portion, salad portion were small. The meats were all burnt to a crisp and inedible. The cost of the meal is 27/28$. For a nearly inedible meal, and half a cup of rice, I d say that is not value for the money. And the salad was a few peppers and a piece of lettuce. Ordered take out, spent a fortune on two entrees. One was a house combo that I intended to split between my young children which only contained maybe a half cup of rice. The portions were small, for the price of 30$ for one meal. I ll never eat here again. I understand shrinkflation is alive and well but this just felt insulting to my hard earned money

Amazing food and service. Some of the best kefta and so many options for flavorful dishes. Love this place! They get busy at times, but always worth the wait.

Amazing place try it for yourself

Good food with portions with a lot of green salad, a bit pricey. Parking is difficult to find.

Best middle eastern food in the Seattle area, it s a must try, very good shawerma, the kebabs are top tier and are a must try

Great place to eat during day. Last few times I ordered from here late night I find giant cockroach in my chicken schwarma.

Best falafel and fool in Washington

I know the owners here do not care. I speak afgan/turkish/arab/Hebrew but my appearance is asian. When I came here with my friends, at 12:00 am, there were two workers. One of them was an older middle eastern man, the second was a younger middle eastern girl. Probably because the middle eastern man thought we could not understand him, we overheard him punishing the young girl for trying to cook our food right away. He said that asians must wait longer. It is 2024 not 1924..... Im not sure what his intentions were but obviously with so many asian people in this area, this mans discrimination is very obvious and hurts the business sales. Because falafel fresh actually makes good food and is the only place open late, it has the potential to become very popular. Im not sure why the business owners choose to allow this sort of stupid manager to hurt late night sales but Im sure when they realize how many sales they lost over a whole year or more, then suddenly they will care to keep the business open. Stupid lazy racist service. Please fire the old man and allow your business to make sales past 12 am. Or else just close early and dont pay this man to hurt your business reputation. In the end nothing will change so please move and let another smarter business to take your place!!!

Very tasty, the baklava is excellent

This was my second visit and I was not disappointed. I ordered the combination plate this time vs the gyro plate. The portions are large with flavorful sauces and spices to accompany the plate. I had a baclava for desert and it was amazing as well. I very much enjoyed the pistachio version of baclava!

Very good chicken shawerma sandwich

The dessert was amazing. But the Arambeet (cauliflower) had too much oil. Way too much.

Absolutely fantastic Gyro! The owner was so nice and generous to us on our visit and gave us some complimentary extras which were so appreciated. Highly recommend coming here and patroning a local gyro shop.

Great quick bite of food in Kirkland. Very tasty and convenient.

Best Falafel and hummus!

If I even sniff falafel I have to get it. Fresh and crisp, and perfect with the hummus. Plenty of food, you get the amount of two meals in one plate.

Best hummus that I have had in a while!

Fabulous! Delicious food, large portions, and excellent service. Will be back!

This is my new favorite spot. Food was delish! E brought out grandma in a wheelchair and they were very accomodating. Yassin was so very kind and welcoming. We will be back again. Thank you!

Good humus, ok chicken, tasteless falafel

Chicken Kebab was spectacular! Will definitely come back again

The food is amazing. Note the long wait times during peak hours on the weekend. Totally worth it :-)

I was really excited to try the food here because of all the positive reviews, but unfortunately my experience didnt match what others have said. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate, mixed chicken & beef shawarma plate, lamb kebab plate, aranbeet, and a couple of other dishes. Every single meat in all the plates was so dry we had to make sure to eat every bite with hummus. The aranbeet was soaked in oil, and I was surprised when the pita was given to me in the store bought bag not even warmed. The service in my experience was certainly not warm and friendly, as the owners replies to many comments would suggest. It felt like I was bothering them just by being there. The only redeeming quality is that the hummus was good.

Vegetarian options: Falafel was the best and the side salad Food

The guy who s working there is really aggressive and they have Diet Coke and Pepsi because it s cheap than the regular ones. I don t recommend this place

The best Middle Eastern dining in Kirkland. The staff are super friendly, nice and hospitable. Love this spot.

As the name says, it s very fresh and chef was very friendly. Great Staff Food : 5/5

Amazing food; we were pleasantly surprised!!! Highly recommend their baba ghanoush, chilli something, chicken over hummus (I got lamb skewers instead of chicken)

Service was good and Falafa plate was good!

Felt I was In Lebanon . Food is so good and fresh . I live in downtown Seattle but I will be coming to Kirkland for this restaurant . Just loved , ingredients are so fresh

The kabob was burnt to a crisp

Food was amazing. Place is cool and they stay open late!

Love the food, the staff and service

Honestly the best Mediterranean food in Kirkland. We had a fairly large party. The service was prompt and everyone thought the food was amazing.

The portion was very generous and the food was delicious. The service was amazing.

Highly recommend this place. Fresh and fast! So good to finally find a place that s open late, not rowdy, clean and just good food. Kefta was excellent and the hummus, fresh and just delicious. Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus and pita with fries different salads or combine the lot - good value

Amazing gyro plate! Great portions, packaging, and taste! Definitely will revisit!

The falafel sandwich was delicious, friendly staff, quick service.

You guys are awesome food tastes very good. Please rethink 1- Prices (little higher than average on area) 2- Prices must match the menu prices on screen 3- Tip (start from 15% ?)

The falafel plate was delicious! Almost rivals my favorite falafel place in the world in Paris.

Amazing Shawarma and falafel! You should try it.

Lamb sandwich was not good Lamb over cooked and barely any, dressing did not taste good.

This is an experience! Generous portions, exotic atmosphere. I would stop in for the Palestinian rice pudding dessert alone but will get the meal to earn it first. No regrets!

Amazingly nice people with phenomenal food! Hummus is hands down the best ive ever had! I recommend them!

The food takes forever and it s just not good. I ve tried it 3 times. It always smells good but unfortunately it s not fresh

Ordered take out. One falafel plate, one mixed veggie plate and a side of lentil soup. I was blown away by the quality of their food. It s top notch. Everything tastes authentic and fresh. Hefty portions and amazing flavor. Will be back! Food

Potato fries inside shawarma? Are you serious?

It was my first time I Love it.

Everything was so good. The atmosphere, and the staff very friendly. Me and my kids fall in love with this place!

great food and an even greater atmosphere. the staff is the epitomy of hospitality and the food is extremely affordable. and the hummus isnt the generic paste youll buy from costco or other retail. easy 10/10

The staff was very friendly. They gave us a rice refill for free, the kofta was delicious and the garlic sauce was was also yummy. I recommend coming here.

The gyro plate was amazing. The flavor is so authentic and everything tastes fresh. Definitely coming back to try their other dishes! Food

Best Mediterranean restaurant in Washington

The line is too long and poor customer service..

The food and service is always good!!

The falafel sandwich was delicious!! Wasn t the biggest fan of the tabbouleh salad. But overall, a good place!

I ordered falafel plate and canceled it after I saw the guy was playing with his phone and use the same gloves to cook food with it.

Amazing food great service!!

The owner of the restaurant was accommodating for our large group. The food was excellent and the service was above and beyond. The portions were quite large. More than I expected but worth the price. The owner even gave us free tasters of the falafel and baklava. Highly recommended

AMAZING FOOD, crisp delicious fries and flavorful meats with great seating for friends and family.

Fantastic Mediterranean food for quick bite

Great service, food, and ambiance.

Food

The food was amazing, atmosphere and service was super kind, and a fun place to be with friends

One of the only restaurants in Kirkland that s open late and worth eating at. The owner is very patient and kind.

Delicious and great service. Recommend gyro plate and the baklawa

This restaurant is absolutely genuine and authentic from the preparation to the taste and the servic you feel the culture you feel the passion in the food. My Heritage is Turkish I grew up around a lot of fantastic Turkish and middle eastern cuisine in Australia, where I was born and raised . I don t see a lot of places here in Seattle or greater Seattle with genuine restaurants or eateries that have people that are there because they are passionate about sharing the cultural and the food. This is definitely 10/10. I ve lived in Australia for 26 years and in Canada for 11 years. I ve been to New York many times. These guys knock it out the park with fresh ingredients, home made, flavor and quantity. Falafel Fresh, I wish them all the best and hopefully they can stick around a long time we need so many more places like this, especially Kirkland.

We loved this place. For the quality and flavor of its dishes and the attention of the staff. Clean and comfortable place.

The best lamb Ive ever had. It was epic!!!!! Totally would come back again for it.

The pistachio baklava is fiiiiiiya SO GOOD

Its amazing

Delicious food, friendly staff until last minute.

Delicious food and lovely people!

Great food ! Very delicious!

The best falafel sandwich in Kirkland!

Food is fantastic. Great flavors, lots of options, and generous portions. Service great and packaging for takeout was awesome. Highly recommended!

I had a stomach pain after eating here (which never happened to me in other mediterranean restaurants) and the meat was dry.

I got the chicken kabob and my daughter got the beef shawarma. I kid you not every time we took a bite we would say this is so good . Everything was so flavorful and the staff was very attentive.

Delicious Mediterranean authentic food Recommended Food

We tried their both chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches. The food is okay, however, this place doesnt seem to be hygienic. The chief is wearing gloves but touching literally everything with it. Our take out order wait time was 20+ minutes.

Food was only okay - it took about 10-15 minutes to get our order and one of the guys working there was mopping the floor with really unpleasant chemicals the whole time. Finally, it felt really overpriced - $28 (including tip) for some chicken kabob, rice and hummus.

Best chicken sandwich ever I tasted

They have the best beef and chicken shawarma, and the guy who works there is really friendly and welcoming

Nice food, friendly staff :)

Loved the food, ambience and hospitality at this restaurant.

Delicious food & great service

Parking: Downtown Kirkland is close due to road closers but they are still open stop in Food

If you lived in the Middle East before, you would know that the food they serve does not even come close to the real Mediterranean cuisine. I am pretty sure the owner was never a real chef and just watched some YouTube videos lol. The price is also crazy high and not worth it at all.

They had amazing Greek fries, one of the best that I have had. Falafel and veggie plate was good. Hummus and saffron rice could be little more flavorful Vegetarian options: There are few vegetarian options

Ordered the combo plate and mezze and wow so delicious. The baklava also was a hit. 12/10 would recommend and will be returning !!

The most kind and welcoming owners/employees I ve ever met. The food is incredible the environment clean and beautifully setup.

Great customer service! High quality food best in Kirkland Dietary restrictions: Accommodate to all Kid-friendliness: Staff checked in on us and made sure we had everything we need

Edited- in response to the owner : Air headed much? Instead of taking a constructive feedback and actually improving , you would gladly point fingers lol. Your social media manager should know how to respond better instead of playing cheap Sherlock. A person could have placed an order via a different account. Removing another star from your rating for the wonderful virtual service and attitude . Ordered via DoorDash and the food was absolutely underwhelming . Having grown up in the Middle East the taste was not even close to what an authentic shawarma or even tahini, hummus would taste like. The felafels were completely dry and absolutely sub -par to say the least.

Delicious food Dietary restrictions: Halal Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed a great meal

Had an amazing Shawerma Sandwich!

Parking: Street parking Recommended dishes

Food are very authentic and delicious. Especially thank you for the staff for their outstanding warm and friendly service.

Loved the mixed kebab, hummus and baba ghanoush...so grateful to finally have an authentic Mediterranean restaurant in DT. kIrkland

Food is authentic and delicious! I loved it!!

Order it was amazing!

Great tasty good, big servings

Excellent Vegetarian options: Awesome falafel 8 piece Food : 5/5 |

Amazing people and food. Best chicken kebab AND shawarma plate, the rice itself was soooo flavorful. I even demolished the little salad. Garlic fries hit too, they were crispy and the sauce was subtle but delicious. Food was beautifully presented. Pretty quick too. Folks there were personable, had a wonderful convo about palestine, congo, and more. Didnt get into politics but the humanity and compassion he showed meant the world to us. This being a Palestinian establishment was just the icing on the cake. The dining setup was cozy but not too cramped. Condiments on the table (including olive oil!!) and the food was piping hot when we got it. Ive had a few Mediterranean spots in redmond, Kirkland, and Woodinville. This was a personal fave by far. We were asked to come back even if only to say hello. TLDR; this is one of the best restaurants Ive been to and I will be back very soon

Fresh ingredients and very good portions

Best Gyro spot in the state ! Really good quality food with great pricing. Will definitely be back here.

Amazing food!!! Definitely coming back :)

The food was bussing!

$15 for a falafel sandwich is bad value no matter how good the food is. Us consumers need to stop enabling these businesses to rip us off.

I got the chicken kebab plate. The chicken is very tender, very flavorful. Hummus is good and the salad as well. People who walk by this place they need to stop by and order something off the menu 10 out of 10 if I could rate 10 stars.

So good and open late 5 star

Holy cow, this place is good. The service us a tad slow, but its more than worth the wait.

Great food, authentic home like taste. The staff is upper homely and friendly. Warm vibes and the quantity was good too I ll come here again

The flavors were off, as a middle eastern I didnt enjoy the food.

The quality is good but super slow. 15 minutes for making a shawarma and quite expensive. Almost 18$.

Delicious love it .!

Food is absolutely amazing. Wow it was our first time here and for sure we are coming back soon. Love to have this traditional mediterranean place in Kirkland.

Hospitality, service and scrumptious food!! Welcome to Kirkland! Delectable Falafel, Humus, Baba Ganoush and salad Exquisite Mediterranean cuisine! A absolute MUST visit venue! Food : 5/5

Got the falafel plate, was excellent. Very good portion size and variety.

Came across this place on a friend s suggestion so let me pay it forward - YOU HAVE TO TRY FRESH FALAFEL!! The service is excellent and even more impressive is the food! It s so rare to find authentic Mediterranean food in this area that doesn t feel or taste generic. I had the lamb plate and the falafel - both were exceptional! From the entree to the sides, all were well prepared and delicious, the perfect combination of salty, sour and savory. I m a sucker for a good toum and I was so excited to find they serve it here!! Fresh Falafel hits all the marks for me and more! You ve been told about here, so get to this place ASAP!

Everything we had was mouthwateringly delicious! My husband and I ordered Kafta Sandwiches that were amazing. We also ordered some, Gazas Dakka that we enjoyed in combination with our sandwiches and took home the rest. The sandwiches provided plenty to fill us up, but we really wanted to try more items so we also got the, Syrian Foul which was really delightful too, its possibly my new favorite dish, (we ended up taking most of that home too). We also tried a couple, Kibbeh which we enjoyed. We brought home a Falafel Plate for our son and he said it was the best falafel hes had. Everything was really tasty. It was very busy but the service was great! They stay open very late compared to other restaurants in the area which is nice to have around. The eating area is small very casual, quite cozy and very clean. We didnt eat inside. We ordered everything to go and walked to the Marina Park to eat and watch the sunset. It made for a perfect date. The cost was quite high but on par with other restaurants these days especially in downtown Kirkland and its TOTALLY worth it. Vegetarian options: Falafel and Syrian Foul are delicious. Both are also Gluten Free. I saw other vegetarian options as well.

Love the staff and the food! one of the best Gyros Ive ever had! Chunk tasty gyro meat.Lentil soup was delicious too. Chicken kabab was juicy and the homemade humus is wonderful!

They charge a convenience fee and a tip when ordering take-out online to just make you wait another 20 min after you come to pick it up. Absolutely not worth the ~$30/person for the bland food they serve.

Lamb shank was great , and hospitality was awesome

It was my first experience and I loved everything.

We had a great lunch here! 10/10

Omg finally I found the perfect Mediterranean place that I ve been searching for so long. You are indulged in an authentic atmosphere when you are sitting inside, with their delicious high quality fresh food. The service is amazing always interacting with his customers and now it s our favorite spot.

Yummy food, service was good, place was clean and parking on street, highly recommend a try!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The food, the service, atmosphere, everything is so good and so welcoming. I never leave disappointed. Always want to come back. I always have such great encounter with the owner and everyone that works here. I say give this place a try. You won t regret it.

Great place to come to if you want to break your fast. The food is made to order, seasoned to perfection, and the staff are very friendly.

The food was cooked in advance and didnt taste very fresh. The location is great and the staff is very friendly Food

The fact that they have 4.9 stars baffles me. After waiting 20 minutes without a greeting, I watched a man eat a piece of falawfel and then prepare my chicken shwarma sandwich with the same pair of gloves. From that point, I knew I was getting food poisoning. I posted a video on TikTok before I ate anything, telling my followers that I would get food poisoning after eating; and I did. Within 20 minutes, I was on the toilet and stayed there for 24 hours. Calling the health department.

New place in Kirkland food is amazing, super fresh and great portion. This place is a must try

Excellent food, so happy they opened in Kirkland, will be back often.

Absolutely love this restaurant

How does this restaurant have such a high rating? Went there last night ( 3April2024), food was dry, served in take out containers while dining in, and the staff of more than 5 were mostly just eating and very unresponsive on the addiional order to take home for the kids. I am not a picky guy and will either leave a good review and rating or not leave a rating for average food/service, but felt compelled to leave this rating because the experience was really so bad. ******* Thanks Gary for your reply. I will be sure to try again after Eid and ask for you.

the food was so good and the staff was amazing

Good experience, the falafel are to die for

Great food and the portions are good as well. No doubt, one of the best Mediterranean places I have been to.

Food is so good, portions are so generous and the staff are so incredibly friendly!! They gave us bottled water and complimentary soup <3 Highly recommend!

Amazing food. The best lamb shank. Incredible. I inhaled it before my friend could have a bite

The food is amazing. I m so thankful this opened up in Kirkland. Now there s a new and very flavorful Mediterranean option! The staff is very nice and helpful also. They close around 9pm on weekdays. They re so nice they didn t ask us to leave and even topped up some of the food in our leftover tray at the end of the night (we were the last customers there).

The food is very delicious and the employees are very helpful the best plate is shawerma its very juicy and the seasoning is very good definitely recommend this place

The food is delicious! Best service ever. Food is fresh and amazing. Best mediterranean place to eat at. Love it!

This place felt just like home with waaayyyy more delicious food. Definitely come eat here. Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right in

Delicious falafel, hummus, and fries! Excellent, friendly service. Excited to have this high quality Mediterranean food in Downtown Kirkland!

Everything was super fresh and super delicious. I will definitely be returning!

Amazing food! Best in Seattle!

First time here and the food was terrific..the gyro, especially was one to keep coming back for..highly recommend checking this place out, you will not be disappointed. Had a blast chatting up with Ray!

Food is really good. Got the combo plate and a dessert called haryse, it sort of looks like cornbread but a lot more moist and flavorful. Had a coconut taste to it. The meat was gods, hummus on point, salad was ok, could have had more dressing on it. Also the staff were really nice and gave me some pita, a white creamy sauce that I think is tzatziki, and some hot sauce. All complimentary. Would definitely recommend if you re craving this kind of food. Vegetarian options: Falafel and salads. And hummus

Hands down the best Falafel Plate on entire Washington. Amazing taste, freshly prepared and huge serving size. The folks there are warm, welcoming and super-friendly. When we went there, they had run out of rice, and informed us that it will take some time but we will get freshly prepared rice. For the inconvenince of us waiting, they gave us falalel appetizer on the house. PS: Try their baklawa as well. Its amazing. Words cant do justice to the food, go try yourself. Vegetarian options: Falafel Plate, Veggie Mix

Came here after most places had closed to get late dinner with the family. The staff was very kind and patient and the food is SOOO GOOD. Great flavor and good potions. Will be back!

Such a delicious discovery! Food was top notch and the staff was so wonderful!! Everything we ordered was so yummy and fresh! Servings are a great size! Eat here!

Great food and people at the restaurant! They are friendly and serve very delicious food. The service is quick and pleasing!

Best fresh and tasty Mediterranean food in the area, the service was really good, very friendly people.

We order chicken shawarma sandwich, as take away at the counter, the chef start preparing other orders come after us and we waited for 40 minutes for just 1 sandwich we ask why is taken so long he said the chef working alone without helper, the chicken was over cooked / burned , I don t recommend this restaurant at all the testy of food very far from authentic Middle Eastern flavour, one star is high for this place

Love the owners!

This place is the best shawarmas and lamb shank in Washington hands down!!! Check them out

This place has the best hummus Ive had yet. Similar to the taste you get in the middle east. Also ordered chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and Haryse cake. Everything was good. Suggestion: please give the shawarma in a kubz bread instead of tortillas.

This small place is amazing , is a must. Chicken kebab was amazing Food
