Mediterranean Kitchen

The kitchen traces its roots to a father and brother who immigrated from Lebanon in 1981, opening Seattle’s first Lebanese restaurant before expanding to spots like Mediterranean Kitchen. Inside, the space keeps a welcoming, family-friendly rhythm centered on traditional recipes. Navigating the food is exceptionally straightforward: posted notices at the door and counter explain that nearly everything on the menu is gluten-free, calling out the rare exceptions such as pita bread and baklava.
