Modern cafe serving Middle Eastern street foods & drinks in a striking skyscraper.

Food was good, but very over-priced! There really isn’t “service” because customers order at a kiosk and are only handed their food, but the person handing me food was nice.
The wraps were dry and tough, and the “pita” were just little dry tortillas. A total disappointment! The hummus and red lentil soup were excellent!
The concept was cool, with clean, modern street dining.

Absolutely disappointed with the fries. They were so spicy it felt like a punishment, not a snack. Who thought dumping that much chili on fries was a good idea? It completely overpowered the taste — no flavor, just fire. Not enjoyable, not balanced, and definitely not something I’d ever order again. If you’re looking for a mouth-burning experience, maybe you’ll like it. Otherwise, stay far away.

I had the chicken shawarma bowl, and it was pretty underwhelming, lacking in flavor and not worth the price. Both the taste and portion size fell short of expectations. I wouldn’t recommend it. For a much better experience, I highly recommend Petra just a couple of blocks away, their food is far more flavorful and reasonably priced.

Finally stopped by Mamnoon Streets today while I was in downtown. OMG! Their chicken shawarma is da bomb! Delicious chicken in a lovely huge wrap with pickles and their red sauce which just got all the flavors together! Amazing wrap ! Loved their hara frites as well. Tasty crispy and pairs so well with their lemony garlic sauce or their home made ketchup!
They are not open for indoor dining so no ambiance to talk about but they do have a few outdoor seats with heaters on which was comfy! They have 2 windows one to place your order and the other to pick up your order. The service is quick but I can see long lines here during peak lunch hours as this is a popular spot. All in all loved my shawarma and will be back for more!

These fries were a disaster. The spice level was ridiculous — not flavorful, just painfully hot. It felt like they dumped an entire jar of chili powder without even tasting it first. No balance, no seasoning finesse, just heat for the sake of it. Honestly, I couldn’t even finish them. If you’re looking for something actually enjoyable, skip this mess.

I think they have decided to close it down or lower the quality slowly that it changes from dining to random middle eastern place on the corner. the service was so bad that she did not tell us about specials, or ask whether we want another drink, or whether we need extra pitas.
Just dropped food at table and left the tip however is included at 22%
It is kinda sad this was my favorite spot Middle East food in Seattle.
If you are reading this so far I would suggest Hamdi for better food and dining experience. 🙂

One of the better places to have middle eastern food. The food is extremely savory and the ambience is good as well. There can be huge wait times on weekends. The muhammara, baba ganoush, hummus and labneh were extremely delicious. Their pita was extremely well cooked as well. The place is expensive but you should definitely try it out.

I love their shawarma. Fries taste good. Very helpful and happy staff. We couldn’t taste their signature spice dish as the spices were apparently held at the customs. Overall good experience. Might not be as cheap as you think.

Update: I went back for my usual order today (2 weeks after my original review, which was only written after I had been to Mamnoon enough times for me to be able to say they’re “consistent”), and it was deeply disappointing. There was essentially no sauce in the shawarma, there was an EXCESSIVE amount of picked peppers, and the fries were under-seasoned. I had a similar issue last week but decided to give them another chance and unfortunately, disappointed again. I’m going to have to go from 4 to 3 stars unfortunately. I’ll consider raising my review again if their quality issues improve.
One of the few halal “shawarma” places in Seattle that is consistently decent. Their shawarmas are also different than your usual shawarma because of the filling options and the garlic-tahini sauce. My go-to order is chicken shawarma wrap and harra fries. The harra fries are seasoned generously and the za’atar sauce is amazing (I would personally skip the spicy ketchup. They will double the za’atar mayo if you opt out of the spicy ketchup). I can’t really speak for the rest of their menu items but I tasted the halloumi fries once and it was way too salty. I’m not sure if it was a one-off or the usual but regardless I would stay away from that specific side.

Tried chicken shawarma for take out, the service is quick and the prices are slightly higher. Shawarma is good, it is dry at first but it gets better along the way.
