Hayati Mezze & Sweets

Seattle’s Best Restaurants That Are Open Late

"Hayati (“my life” in Arabic, used as a pet name) operates out of a window inside Montana Badlands in Lower Queen Anne. This quick-serve spot, from the owner of Yalla on Capitol Hill, serves Arab cuisine until midnight daily. With a much larger kitchen, chef Taylor Cheney has the elbow room here to expand on her Levantine repertoire with truly gorgeous mezze, such as batata harra (spicy Lebanese-style fried potatoes with garlicky toum for dipping) and batersh (charred eggplant dip topped with ground lamb, fried pine nuts, and pomegranate pips). Desserts like mint lemonade sorbet and Palestinian kunafa (shredded phyllo with nabulsi cheese, pistachios, and orange blossom syrup) are super shareable." - Eater Staff
