Mediterranean Kitchen in Bellevue, WA

I had some excellent lamb shawarma there last weekend. This isn't a black tie fancy place, but if you love garlic it is for you.

Anyone else been there?

Hi, and welcome to eGullet!

I have not been to the Mediterranean Kitchen in Bellevue, but many years ago remember eating at one somewhere near Seattle Center? I remember my meal being pretty garlicky, too, as well as inexpensive.... but don't remember any more of the details.

Yes they are heavy on the garlic, but I really enjoyed going there for lunch when I worked in the area. Somewhat inexpensive and very good value.

I haven't been to the Bellevue branch, but have always enjoyed eating at the one near Seattle Center. In fact it's been to long since I've been there....

I have a good story about the Bellevue Med Kitchen. I appointed myself cultural director of my group and decided they needed their culinary horizons broadened ;-) So we all went to lunch at Med Kitchen ;-) One guy told me the next day his wife made him sleep on the couch. Apparently garlic is NOT a regular part of their diet.

When I took them to Sea Garden and they turned up their noses at the crab with ginger & green onion, and complained about the cost, I resigned as cultural director. They are a hopeless lot.

and, IMO, Med Kitchen has gotten a bit high with their prices. The Farmer's dish is now $17. its just chicken wings!! c'mon!!

That's funny, a friend arranged for a large group to go to the old Malay Satay - half a dozen people (of two dozen or so) had real problems with the menu and the food. I think they stopped for burgers on the way home. And I think they felt like they paid too much! Guess it's all relative.
