Garlic Crush

"Garlic Crush is the Middle Eastern restaurant version of that best friend you can count on no matter what your mood is. If you’re feeling takeout, kabob plates travel really well. If you want something vegetarian, get some crunchy falafel. If you’re ravenous, the gyro plate will fill you up. If you forgot snacks for your cocktail party, a large order of homemade hummus will have your back. Dessert? Two words: fresh baklava. If the weather’s nice and you line up a few outdoor tables, you’ll have a very enjoyable feast." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"Garlic Crush is an Eastside Greatest Hit for many reasons. Their falafel is excellent, their lamb/beef gyros are excellent, their shawarma is excellent, their hummus is excellent, and their baklava is also excellent. Service is fast, and takeout travels well if you’re taking your food back to Seattle. It’s not a place you’d hit up for the interior atmosphere, but but bring a group and line up a few outdoor tables for a Mediterranean feast that’s amazing every time. (Or have a feast by yourself)." - Aimee Rizzo

Service is fast, and their takeout travels well in case you do decide to brave the 520 traffic.
