Great experience! As someone from Turkey, I was really craving some Mediterranean flavors—and this place delivered! You should definitely try their muhammara, it was so tasty. The service was also friendly and attentive. I’ll be coming back for sure!

I have been to some pretty nice restaurants around Seattle, but this is for sure my new 'best'. I came here and ordered the tasting menu which is $75 per person. We got a good portion of hummus and some other spreads, a small charcuterie plate, a salad, a large portion of potatoes, a piece of sole (fish), and a lamb shank. The hummus was by far the best I have ever had in my life. I am not a big fan of hummus honestly, but the red pepper hummus was incredible. The rest of the first course was great too, but the hummus really stood out to me. Next came the potatoes and salad. The potatoes came with a spicy aioli type of sauce with them, very very good. The salad was a good salad, above average for sure, had some mint in it, and it wasn't just a normal boring house salad like you get everywhere else. Next was the main course, the sole and lamb shank. My partner and I were already almost full by the time the mains came but of course I am not going to let that stop me. The fish was probably the best white fish I have ever had, and the lamb was for sure the best lamb I have ever had. This meal was incredible, and the portion sizes are huge. The lamb was served with a spoon because it was so tender you didn't need a knife or a fork to pull it apart. We also got a small dessert included in the tasting menu. Overall this was my favorite restaurant I have been to in Seattle. I am not just talking about for the price or as a tasting menu, this is just my number one. I have been to Canlis twice and while Canlis certainly is good, and has a better atmosphere, I just honestly believe this food was better and cheaper. The only thing I don't think was perfect was the service was a bit slow to get going and to get the bill, but after ordering the food came quick and we were not left waiting for food at any point in the meal. I highly recommend Mamnoon to anyone that likes this type of food, or likes to be surprised with tasting menus.

Our group of two vegans and one vegetarian had a fabulous dinner here! We chose to have a number of small plates to share rather than ordering entrees. There was so much delicious food - so many vegan options, my mouth waters just thinking of them. And it was so much fun as well! Highly recommended.

Went here to celebrate our anniversary. There was a slight snafu with the reservation, however the staff was warm and accommodating with zero wait time. The food was amazing the service was excellent. Ordered the “spoil me” and wow. Lots of food and the flavors were delish!! Would come here again.

Comprehensive and proper menu offerings of Middle Eastern plates. The variations of hummus are simply delicious and so do other mezzes — baba ganoush, crispy cauliflower, and fatayer. The Lebanese red wine we had for the table turned out to be a wonderful one, too.

We stumbled into this place by accident. We were looking for dinner and a drink before a show at the Funhouse, and the pictures looked good in review. We were seat2d right away and greeted immediately by the server. Food was amazing. I gave the service the 3 only because they missed an item in our order and we had to take it to go because of time constraints. All In all the experience was fantastic and we will be back when we have more time.

The four of us shared 4 share plates, two entrees, and a bottle of wine. All of the share plates were GREAT. I highly recommend the chicken dish for entree. It was juicy and a good balance of flavors. One caveat— the chicken dish was undercooked, which the server managed the situation well. I don’t recommend the NY steak. It’s a little dry. Overall, great atmosphere, food, and service!

I ordered the Tasting menu with wine pairing and it was well worth the price. I felt the food has so many layers of flavors and felt like they burst inside my mouth with freshness and that was just the appetizer. The main dish, lamb kabeb and Halibut, gave me one those rare experience where you cannot help but keep nodding and savoring every bite. Even something as simple as Syrian rice, was an inspiration. And the special garlic pita , if you have not tried it, you didn't know what good pita is. I have the late great Anthony Bourdain to thank to know about this restaurant.
