Shawarma Land

Shawarma Land works for quick, satisfying Mediterranean food - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Shawarma Land is a casual Mediterranean spot, mainly good for takeout or a quick bite. The food is solid, the service is friendly, and there’s a Ross next door where you can browse throw pillows and discount candles while you wait. Scents from grilled meat sliced straight off the giant vertical spit fill the bare-bones dining room, where almost everyone has their neck craned to take in the massive red-and-black menu board. Come for an easy weeknight dinner, and enjoy a fine meal of things dusted in feta and drizzled with garlicky white sauce. Food Rundown Greek Fries We wish the crumbled feta had a bit more punch and saltiness, but the fries are tossed in a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning that adds a nice kick. Definitely get these—just make sure to eat them while they’re hot. Chicken Shawarma Plate The yellow-tinged basmati rice is fragrant, with hints of cinnamon and clove that give it a nutty, slightly sweet vibe. The chicken’s a little on the dry side (nothing tragic, but you’ll notice). Tasty hummus and finely chopped Greek salad swoop in to save the day. Arabic Chicken Shawarma The chicken in this, however, is anything but dry—it’s got a good char, and there's a well-balanced combo of pickles, sauce, and fresh foliage. The tortilla also works to keep everything neatly in place—something pita can struggle with. Gyro Sandwich Sure, there are better ones out there in Seattle, but this one gets the job done." - Kayla Sager-Riley
