Top 34 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Havens to Explore in Seattle

Lauryn Christean

Food was wonderful! Excellent option for groups that need to accommodate Vegans, Carnivores, Gluten Free & Dairy Free!

All day and every day yes. I told myself I was going to be adventurous and not order their signature paella, but I ordered the paella 😀 The flavors and seafood was cooked to perfection, and I had enough to bring some home as well. I only wish that I had that char rice/ socarrat though there was like a little of it around the top of the paella pan. The wait staff was so attentive and recommended a delicious red (since I asked for red and enjoying their sangria) to go with the paella, so when she said it also tasted good with the gluten free cake I had to say yes. She spoke to me of her dreams of getting her sommelier certification- which I think she's already there!!

Absolutely fantastic. Very gluten friendly, lots of gluten free options and gf pita is even available and the flavors don't suffer for it. Wonderfully accommodating staff. If you get the grill for 2-3 with friends you will have plenty of food and probably still take some home. Fantastically filling. Most Seattle restaurants aren't worth the prices they charge, but this was the first one I've been to in a minute that was really worth paying for both the food and experience. Will be back.

Love that they have dedicated gluten free fryers! Plenty of vegan and gluten free options and the food is great, with the exception of the fries (wish they were a bit sturdier for scooping up hummus). Highly recommend the falafel though, it is perfect.

Arabia was a delight to try. Our food was delicious, service was considerate and prompt, and the setting was pleasant. We'll definitely be returning! I'm glad that there are multiple vegan-friendly entrees in addition to a collection of vegan-friendly mezze appetizers. The online menu and in-house menus are a bit confusing on this point. Some items are marked on both menus with a dairy-free symbol while mentioning feta and other dairy ingredients like a tzatziki sauce. The pita bread is specifically marked as dairy free and as non-dairy free on the in-house menu and is mentioned repeatedly as non-vegan online. When I spoke with our server, she confirmed that the pita is vegan as is normal. We were able to get the tzatziki on the side with our falafel and eggplant fritter dishes. They also have a gluten-free pita available for a small premium. Portion sizes were comfortable given the menu prices. These are reasonable for Seattle, and we two were able to fill up with a mezze medley, an order of falafels, and the eggplant fritters. Everything was delicious, and the plate settings were cute and effective. The falafels were a particular treat, and the eggplant was deliciously melted inside its fried shell. The mojito mocktail was a delicious treat even if it cost $10. We could have done with an extra piece of pita or two, but everything lined up well with a little planning. The restaurant bar may be prominent in the photos, but the atmosphere was calm on a weeknight, and there are several tables available to either side of the bar as well as outdoor tables. Three TVs played a basic scenic loop and didn't distract much. Everything was clean and felt well cared for. Our server and a staff member behind the bar were both considerate, timely with their attention, and able to answer questions about the menu options. We couldn't have asked for a nicer experience and have a great Middle Eastern option in our neighborhood to return to!

They had some really yummy gluten free and keto options (even if they aren't advertised that way.) I'd go back. I got the Turkish eggs and latte. Both were excellent.

Food was amazing, however a few off things. The baba ganoush starter was AHMAZING. I got the gluten free crackers with it which were okay, I did really appreciate the GF option. My partner got the Mujadara which was also insanely good for such a simple dish. I got the shish taouk, which was good, not amazing. I was disappointed in the lack of veggies on the dish and lack of sauce. It was $32 for a big chicken skewer with a small amount of sauce under it and maybe like 1/3 cup of a veggie medley with it. Felt way overpriced for what I got. Just a lot of chicken. It would be improved so much even if they added a little more sauce and veggies with it. It was good, just wouldn’t order that dish again. The cocktails too were good, just not super flavorful and didn’t feel they were worth the price. I do whole heartedly recommend the Mujadara and baba ganoush though! The service and atmosphere was great too! I will come back for sure!

Great lunch spot! Their GF wraps are amazing.

Briana Arnold

Wonderful Italian expletive, reminded me of being in Italy. The restaurant owner was very charismatic and helped us pick our dishes. They have a handmade gluten free pasta option, sort of like long bready gnocchi, or a teeny tiny moist breadstick.

Boy, it felt like we tried nearly the whole menu! We ordered a ton of food and honestly had a great time passing everything around and seeing what stood out. 🌟 Favorites: - Labneh with dried tomatoes & mint – So, so good. Creamy, fresh, and the mint added the perfect touch. - Wahl Grazing Lamb with ash-roasted yams, leek crème fraîche & hazelnut-lamb vinaigrette – Juicy lamb, great sauces, everything worked. - WA Asparagus with apricots, walnuts, sorrel & ramps – It’s served cold (which surprised us), but it was still really tasty. - Whipped Garlic – Loved this. Flavorful. - Soft Serve Swirl (Dairy + Vegan flavors) – Don’t skip this. Get the swirl. It’s a must. 👎 Not for Me: - Grilled Medjool Dates with Turmeric – Way too sweet and kind of weird. No one at the table liked it. - Roasted chicken w/ a chili-fruit paste - weird sweet sauce, chicken was not juicy. 👀 Heads up if you're gluten-free: I have a gluten allergy, and almost everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was awesome. They even had a crispy rice cake instead of pita for the spreads. Big plus. 💭 Overall: Would I say it’s worth the massive hype online? Ehh, not really. It was definitely good—some dishes were really good—but not quite mind-blowing. Maybe I’m just a tough critic (NYC problems). Still, I’d go back, especially for the dips and soft serve.

We ordered food to go—chicken schwarma sandwich and gyro salad. I let the employee know I was allergic to gluten and also I’d like to take the feta off of the salad. They gave me lemon vinaigrette by request but they took away the pita and tatziki and still charged us full price. They should’ve asked before giving me less food, I was going to give this to someone else. Also, the gyro was dry and the salad was mostly red onion with barely any other toppings such as cucumber or olives. I will not be returning here.

Great spot for an evening dinner. I tried the Muhammara and Hummus dips, both were spot-on with the warm pita bread. The server was attentive to gluten-free needs and offered cucumbers as a substitute. I had the Manti vegetarian dish with Turkish dumplings in a slightly sour tomato and olive oil sauce. While I wasn’t sure about the filling, the dish was unique and tasted good.

Joe Ruehlmann

The carbonara is so good I get it almost every time, and dream about it when I can’t have it. Great gluten free pasta options, you really can’t even tell they are gluten free.

Who knew gluten free crust could shine like theirs!

Excellent food. Gluten-free pasta available although I wish it was homemade like their normal pasta was. They do jot open until 5 PM on Saturday.

Lovely restaurant. We waited a while for our server, but eventually got some drinks from the hostess. They DO NOT have gluten free bread contrary to another review. The mimosa was good. I loved the breakfast potatoes, extra crispy.

My wife has very strict dietary guidelines. We are gluten and dairy free. We struggle to find good restaurants and actually will Walk out because we can tell the difference between servers that are "kinda" sure about the ingredients in there food and others that are "sort of" sure when it come to allergies. Dalal especially is a shining example of good customer service and as a small business owner myself....I want to take her for my own business.. ;) We love Shawarma Time because they are so knowledgeable and on top of it they have amazing gluten free and dairy free options. You can tell that their management goes the extra mile to train their team about what's in every ingredient that they have in their delicious food . Thank you...we see and feel the difference.

Kabab has a gluten free menu which makes it very easy to order. I had the falafel salad plate and it was very good. Not a bad option for a touristy food court spot.
