Mawadda Cafe

We've eaten her 3 times, each time the food was consistently excellent! The lamb really shines, whether it's the lamb shank or the lamb shawarma. The chicken shawarma is always moist and seasoned perfectly. I also love their hummus and garlic sauce. We try to come here every time we are in Seattle.

Hidden gem & one of my favorite places in Rainier Valley. The food is fresh and delicious. When the chai tea is just brewed, it's gingery-clove concoction hits the spot! This time, I got the Gyro Salad & half a dozen frozen sambosas to air fry at home. Jeez, I could eat their food everyday

Best hummus on earth. I can't explain it but the flavors in there are amazing. It's something special and I highly enjoy it!

I always drove past this place growing up in Seattle and only recently got food here and it was amazing! The gyro was delicious and fries were super crisp and flavorful. My brother got the chicken shawarma which was tasty as well. The inside has such nice decorations and the staff was very friendly. Definitely will plan to come back again :)

I usually wait to try a place more than once before reviewing but the food was so good. I had the gyro because I heard this spot was a hidden gem in the neighborhood, and wow it was amazing and huge! Great flavors, lots of meat, good balance with veggies, and just enough sauce, plus the pita was soft and fresh. Got the greek fries too since I was having a bad day, and it truly hit the spot, the garlic sauce they came with was truly outstanding, not sure if it was tzatziki but it was garlicky and delicious. On top of it, the guy at the register was very nice and prompt. In all, I'm very glad I tried this, especially after the bad day I had.

Chicken shawarma platter was amazing! $18 but a huge portion definitely can make it into two meals. It came with a side salad pita as well. Rice and chicken were full of flavor and very tender. My partner got the lamb gyro and Greek fries, it was good but mine was better Can't wait to go back.

Picture this: a charming Mediterranean restaurant with the most delightful family running the show. Whenever my partner and I walk in, the owner's son practically reads our minds because we're such regulars. But here's the kicker - every time we order our usual, it tastes just as amazing as the first time we ever tried it.And let's not forget about those Greek fries! They're like little bites of heaven, especially when dipped in that delicious sauce. It's like a party in my mouth and my tummy every time. Oh, and did I mention how beautiful the environment is? The plants and cultural decorations really add to the ambiance. If you're looking for a place with great food, a lovely atmosphere, and the sweetest family behind it all, this is the spot. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Don't let looks deceive you- this cute little place has a welcoming atmosphere, generous portions, and the perfect price! Wish we lived closer

Food was very good, but a little pricey given the minimalist interior for sit down dining. Order at the cash register and then seat yourself. Only a few tables inside, but adequate onsite parking. Great for takeout but not ideal if you're looking for a nice dine-in experience.

Absolutely delicious. Cooked fresh there. Delightful! I loved the food. The owner is so friendly. Very healthy food, very reasonable. The 2 other guests raved about the food. There's this location, one on Graham Street and a 3rd. I brought a dish home for breakfast. Wonderful restaurant!
