Falafel King

Falafel spot in Pike Place! It's a tiny restaurant without much seating. The service is friendly and everything is made to order in front of you. The price is a bit steeper than other Mediterranean places because of its location, and the chicken shawarma falafel sandwich I got was good and well seasoned, but didn't blow me away.

Great outdoor seating, friendly service, and delicious fries! I overheard another customer say "this is the best shawarma I've ever had." Definitely stop in to try it!

What I Ordered:Falafel Sandwich * falafel seasoning was very strong* only outdoor seating5/10

Ohmygosh, the chicken shawarma is AMAZING. They use onions and red cabbage in it and it is delicious. The shop is a tiny little space near Pike's Market, with a few chairs and tables out on the sidewalk. There is a three-stool bar inside as well. The cashier was also the chef, and he paid attention to what we wanted as we talked about it. Very nice. We also had the fries, and they were delish.

This place saved us! Pike's Place area can get very busy and most the food spots nearby can have long wait times... wifey and I were not the patient. This place was right around the corner from where we were and we decided to give it a go. It was different than your typical falafel, (we both had the falafel wraps), different spices, but it was great! Hit the spot!

Ended up in this area past dinner time, and this place smelled amazing so we went in and ordered food to go. We ordered a chicken shawarma plate and a lamb shish kabob plate. I didn't notice that there wasn't a big spinning gyro cone to cut meat off of, and the cook actually cooked our order on the grill. Maybe they couldn't do it with fewer tourists visiting during the pandemic? Anyway it was totally fine, just not what I expected.The portion was MASSIVE. We had 2 meals each out of these plates and they were large meals. Definitely hit the spot for some flavorful meat and overall hearty meal!

Quick hole in the wall place for my Mediterranean fix. It's right behind Pike Place Market, and it isn't hard to miss. Ordered Falafel Sandwich and it was so good. No place to sit inside the Cafe, there are outdoor chairs if one wants to eat at the restaurant.

Staff was passable. Not inviting, nor unfriendly.Weird how this had any good reviews on the food itself. You really have to not know anything about food to not taste the painfully obvious. Dad had the Lamb Shish kabob:- Sodium bomb- Doused with copious amounts of sauce that did not have any ingredient flavors of tzatziki (no cucumber, lemon or yogurt)- Lamb was dry- Can't comment on the flavorI had the Beef Shwarma:- Again, same sodium bomb- Again, doused with copious amounts of Italian dressing- Flavor was nowhere reminiscent of anything mediterranean (sauteed in a ton of sauce - mainly worchestershire sauce and some tomato sauce). Worchestershire sauce doesn't exist in any mediterranean food (let alone as the main ingredient). - Rice was overcooked and had the texture of instant rice- Salad was like the "shwarma" (doused with copious amounts of sauce)- Just sloppy, salty, saucy, non-Mediterranean mash of somethingAppears to be a shop that is just in business to sell stuff to eat to tourist (but not in the business of the actual craft of cooking and authenticity, by any stretch of any imagination). 100% steer clear and go elsewhere.

This is a little hole in the wall place at Pike's place market. We wanted a quick lunch and we came upon this place and it smelled amazing. The guy who owns it is a one man show and his food is quick, fresh, flavorful and abundant! I had a falafel sandwich which was delicious, y son had the Shawarma platter and it was amazing. Onions and tomatoes are caramel iced on the griddle and served on top of tender marinated beef, yellow rice, hummus and a green salad is also on the plate and then it is garnished with 3 sauces. We were in Seattle for 4 days and we ate there 3 of

my friend almost died eating their vegetarian falafel wrap. they should have some allergic warnings since he wasn't even aware of any allergies until he set foot in this restaurant
