AMAZING SHAWARMA!!! Delicious strawberry banana smoothies too The restaurant has a very chill atmosphere. And the employees leave you alone for the most part apart from taking your order (which I prefer). I walked in expecting an average quick lunch but instead had an almost spiritual connection with my shawarma HAHA. It was love at first bite. I'm out of the state now but I wish I could go eat it again.

Nice quiet family owned restaurant where you are always treated with respect and a smile. Located in the Seattles rainier valley. There a variety of food from Gyros to Burger and fries. I opted for lentil soup it's light yet filling.

Great service, the lentil soup is a favorite. The chicken is a tad bit spicy, love the Sambosa (I'm Spelling it wrong) and the smoothie

Been coming to this great little place for years. Today my first time back since Covid. Boy am I glad I did. Got the exquisite Lamb and Beef Gyro. Brought tears to my eyes. Just perfect. Then the family owner gave me a complimentary cup of soup! Wow. I will buy a quart of this delicious stuff. Clean place, great service, sunny colors. All great. BroganfromSeattle

I was running some errands in the area and decided to pick up lunch from here and I'm so glad I did. I called in for a pickup of a gyro plate about ten minutes ahead of time and by the time I walked in, the order was ready. And the owner is such a nice man! Everything was really really really tasty. The salad was refreshing. The lamb and beef gyro meat was delicious. The rice was delicious. The hummus was delicious. I'm absolutely going back to try the rest of the menu - the falafel looks good too and there's something called Somali spiced tea that I'm very curious about. Great tasting food and friendly service! Check this place out! It's not too far from the Columbia City light rail station.

I know I rate a lot of things 5 stars, but this place REALLY, REALLY, REALLY deserves it. After a hospital stay, the last thing I felt like doing was cooking. Bananas Grill doesn't do their own delivery, so Postmates it is. When a third party does the delivery, it's often cold and a mess, but NOT AT BANANAS GRILL. They do not stand for that nonsense! Not only was my food hot/warm, but each item that might possibly get gross packed together (tzatziki, feta, falafel, pita) was wrapped up so it was not soggy, wet, or messy. I have never in my life seen food wrapped as carefully and mindfully as Bananas packs it. They also included plenty of napkins and a set of silverware. Who runs this place? Cher? Jesus? Nothing would surprise me at this point. Please notice I haven't even gotten to the food yet. AND THE FOOD IS DIVINE. Like over the top, from portions to pricing, it's all good. We got the Bananas combo, baklava, samboosa, and Greek salad. The combo came with 2 chicken skewers, chicken, rice, gyro meat, 2 dolma, 2 falafel, hummus, 4 pita triangles, a little salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes. It's also only 20. There were 2 tzatziki and one honey mustard. Possibly the best dolma I've ever had. The rice was delicious, both types of chicken were moist and tasty, and I hear the gyro meat was good. My 3 yo seemed to like it, too. The hummus was smooth and came with an olive. Pita was warm, soft, and delicious. Falafel was perfectly crisp and tasty. I cannot wait to try more on their menu, or even just order when I want an actual hot meal prepared with care.
