Got a gyro combo. The fries are perfectly cooked, as is the lamb. The veggies are juicy and crunchy. The garlic dip is delicious, as are the hot sauce and tatziki sauce. The man at the counter/grill is kind and welcoming. It feels like walking into a second home and the food is definitely worth the price (18 for the one I got with fries and drink). I now plan on dragging friends and family here at every opportunity.
I've called Seattle home for nearly three decades, and I just had to share my love for Almanqal Mediterranean restaurant and its talented chef, Haqi.

In a nutshell, this place is extraordinary. After trying lamb, beef, and chicken dishes all around town, I can confidently say that Almanqal is in a league of its own. The flavors are simply incredible, and the meats are exceptionally tender. If you're a fan of lamb, beef, or chicken, you absolutely must pay them a visit.

Their lentil soup is a warm hug in a bowl, and the Lamb Shank is a culinary masterpiece that practically melts in your mouth.

Almanqal is now my go-to spot for forever. If you're in search of a fantastic Mediterranean meal, look no further. This place is a hidden Seattle treasure that you need to experience. Don't miss out!

This is a small restaurant where the owner is also the chef/ cook. My mom, sister, and I stopped here for lunch on our first day of a five-day visit to Seattle because it was in the same neighborhood as our VRBO and it had high Google reviews. The food was AMAZING. We all overate a little too much because we couldn't stop picking at things. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

My chicken shawarma was delicious. The chicken was flavorful and tender. The gyro, fattoush, baba ganoush, and Greek fries were also incredible. I only took one pic because I was too busy eating. πŸ˜‚πŸ€€

to go order, i did some errands before stopping in, no customers. order not ready (past the promised time), guy is working on it. some new customers come in. instead of finishing bagging my order, which is all he had to do get me it, he took their orders. his employee had just mopped with a sickenly sweet cleaner. i sat in the place feeling sick because of the smell. it’s on my clothes, which are hanging outside right now. so, just a poor experience on something that should have been simple. assume your to go will be very late, and maybe you can avoid these issues. food is ok.

My second time at this restaurant.
The food is delicious and the owner and staff are very nice.

Highly recommend the kabab chicken or beef. (Kofta)

The bread is also made fresh and hot very delicious

I spent my summers as a kid in Egypt. You can imagine how sometimes I crave some authentic middle eastern/north African cuisine.

This little gem is an absolute hit. I’ve never had more authentic flavors then Al Manqal (BBQ in Arabic). For those of you who don’t know, they serve a very famous lamb dish. But don’t worry, everything on the menu is very tasty. This restaurant is awesome for those who want to try middle eastern food or people who want to rekindle the flavors of nostalgia.

Kudos and Mabrook to the owner!

πŸ’š Another place to visit and have delicious food !!!!🀩🀩🀩🀩 We ordered a family meal for 4 persons which included Chicken Kebab 2 Skewers (my favorite) chicken was juicy yummy πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ Koha Kebab 2 Skewers, 41 tNebab 1 Skewer, Beef Kebab 1 Skewer & 3 appetizers with rice which by the way was by far one of the most out of this world delishhhhhhh-ousssss!!!! absolutely so tasty. πŸ’― Oh my, I almost forgot the fresh pita bread!!!! And the salads tooπŸ’š A lot of food in that family meal and worth every penny. It is a small restaurant and we were there around 4 in the afternoon, it started getting busy so I suggest you check their times. Customer service is wonderful and of course be advised that we will definitely be back again and again until I finish that delicious rice !!!! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ’š.
