These days, for some reason, I have been really into Mediterranean food. Lately, I've been visiting many Mediterranean restaurants in the Seattle area to find the best one.
Lately, I was recommended to try out Shawarma Shack in Capitol Hill. It is located right across from Seattle Central College, right in the heart of the Capitol Hill area.
For those familiar with the neighborhood, parking can be a bit challenging. However, with a little patience, you can usually find a spot in a nearby garage or on the street after driving around a few blocks.
Now, let's get into the most important part. The place looks pretty new and well-managed. There are plenty of tables, and the spacing between them is generous enough for my friends and me to enjoy our conversations while we eat.
In terms of the menu, there are a lot of options including gyro wraps, shawarma wraps, platters, salads, and a variety of vegetarian dishes. For most menu items, you can choose a protein such as beef, lamb, or chicken. Offering vegetarian options is a big plus.
To make the most out of our trip to Capitol Hill, we ordered the #1 Chicken Shawarma Combo and the #2 Beef and Lamb Shawarma Combo. Each combo is priced at $15.95 before sales tax and tip, and it comes with crispy French fries, sauce, pickles, and a canned drink.
Our food was made fresh in the kitchen after we ordered, and it was brought to our table by the staff. Both staff members were very friendly and professional.
As you can see in the photos I attached, the combo items are served in boxes so it makes easy to take food to go or save leftovers. The portion size was generous, and each wrap was cut in half, so my friend and I were able to share both the chicken and the beef and lamb wraps. When it comes to taste, the food was excellent. I am not exaggerating here... this is the best shawarma I've ever had. While I haven't had a lot of Mediterranean food, this is easily my favorite so far.
Since we were both fully satisfied with our wraps, we decided to end our meal with dessert here. We ordered one baklava and one choclava. Wow! Do not skip dessert here!! It was absolutely amazing.
I highly recommend Shawarma Shack to anyone looking for flavorful shawarma and authentic desserts. I will definitely be back anytime soon to try their gyros.
