Best Shawarma, Falafel, and Other Middle Eastern Street Food in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"This Persian restaurant is both a dine-in cafe and marketplace, where patrons can grab homemade Iranian dishes in individual or family-sized portions to go, alongside spices, Middle Eastern pantry staples, and cookbooks. Of the many menu offerings, the juicy Iranian-style koobibideh kebabs, grilled in long flat strips on metal spears, are a standout, with Walla Walla onions folded into the ground beef for sweetness, served with grilled tomatoes and rice. Although not strictly street food, the menu is also filled with traditional Iranian stews like the delicious fesenjoon, made with pomegranate molasses, herbaceous beef-stuffed dolma, and desserts like the moist cardamom chocolate loaf cake, which can be ordered to-go." - Alana Al-Hatlani
