The fried cauliflower wrap was SO good. It was seasoned well, cooked crisply, and the sauce was the perfect accompaniment. The falafel was fine – very nice crisp light texture, but a bit neutral, I would have preferred more herbs and spices. The rice was similar – a neutral base without much flavor. The side salad was surprisingly good, the greens were fresh and there was a bit of mint in it that really elevated it. Everything was arranged really nicely and it was clear that the colors, appearance, and plating had been considered, and that fresh whole ingredients were used.
The atmosphere inside is attractive and the service was very good. It was quiet and warm. The prices were reasonable. Overall my friend and I really enjoyed lunch at Al Manqal and would return!

Almanqal Grill is an absolute gem! We had such a great experience here, both with food and environment.
It was a nice Sunday lunch for us. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the food was really great. Everything was tasty, clean and flavorful.
The chicken salad was the absolute highlight for me, as it was delicious and not oil-soaked like in similar other Middle eastern restaurants! The portions were okay and the owner was really friendly. Happy to leave a positive review and will be going there again!

Amazing food, very friendly service. The owner clearly knows how to make authentic Mediterranean dishes. We had Chicken Kofta, Chicken Shawarma platter along with fries, fried cauliflower. Everything tasted very good. Will surely repeat.

Delicious food, quick service and cozy atmosphere. He even brought out extra pita bread when he saw us chow down the first set!

Absolutely delicious! We worked with Haqi, the owner, to cater a birthday party for 30 people and it was incredible. The food far exceeded our expectations and our guests were so happy. The fried cauliflower, chicken kabobs, and spicy hummus were crowd pleasers! I highly recommend.

HALAL!! Decent Mediterranean restaurant on 45th Ave; staff was great but the shawarma was actually a gyro and easily fell apart while eating;
Fries weee good and crispy as I asked for them m, but waaay to salty and I couldn’t finish them

This place is my new favorite spot in Seattle. I was BLOWN AWAY by how good this food was. Not only are the portions huge for the price, but the quality and flavor is incredible! I got the chicken shawarma platter with a Greek salad and hummus. The salad was phenomenal, perfectly seasoned. Hummus was tasty and the pita was soft and fresh. The rice and chicken were amazing too. My partner got the chicken kofta and oh my God… this was truly spectacular I think it was probably the best chicken I’ve ever eaten I wanted to cry it was so good. He also got a side of the fried cauliflower and it was probably the best I’ve ever had too. Cannot recommend this place enough. 1 million/10

This unassuming-looking place has some amazing food! I’ve tried several things, from quick gyros to dinner, and it was all very good and interesting. The fried cauliflower in tahini sauce is really outstanding and wonderful!

Best middle eastern food I’ve had in Seattle so far. Other places are always too salty, not fresh, tough meat, etc. I’ve had a lamb shawarma wrap (takeout) and platter of lamb shawarma which came w/ 2 appetizers: Greek salad + hummus + 1 pita (dine-in). Both meals were 10/10 super delicious and very filling. Well the platter was basically 2 meals for me.. I especially loved the deep taste + texture of the meat in the shawarma. The chef(s)? make it after u order, so nothing is precooked and it tastes rlly fresh (hence the worthwhile 15+ min wait). They season the food perfectly – not too salty or bland, & with lots of spices!! The pita, Greek salad, and hummus were all super yummy too. Also the chef gave me some white garlic sauce to eat w/ my platter. idk if that was complimentary / for free but it was nice =). Def support this place!!

The folks here are so welcoming, and the food is really amazing! Both times I’ve been, it was quiet and peaceful. It’s like a little oasis. The food is seasoned perfectly, sauces are decedent, and it’s the kind of food that makes your body feel good too.
