Yummy home made felafel and interesting flavor blends. Healthy beautiful food brought to the table freshly prepared. We enjoyed our Wednesday evening meal, and plan to go back on a night when they have music. The friendly owner came out to check with us about the food before we left-this is such a nice tradition in family run restaurants.

Went here for lunch with friend and was shuffled around between tables until we finally were able to order food and drinks. Probably waited a good 15 minutes - place only has one waitress and she was crazy busy with large party. The owner did offer us free baklava's for the inconvenient wait time, which was very nice. Had lamb... More

While in Seattle, some locals recommended we lunch at Cafe Paloma. GREAT Recommendation. There were nine in our party. We tried a wide variety of sandwiches and soups. Everyone - and I mean everyone - was impressed with their meal. Fun relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely go back!

It's great for brunch but be aware that you may leave the cafe semi-hungry. The portions a small which makes it kind of expensive overall.

Amazing Mediterranean food. Sedat, the owner, is friendly and approachable. If you're lucky enough to be around when they have a band there after 7pm, it's an array of good food, good wine, good company, and romance. Do not miss!

Wonderful panini, salads, hummus and salads satisfy locals and tourists alike! Tucked into the historic fabric of Pioneer Square, this cafe has great tastes and incredible value. Each panini comes with a spinach side salad topped with a tastey dressing. The made to order freshly squeezed lemonade is to die for! Dessert choices include fresh cookies or baklava, the coffee...

I eat here often with friends and work colleagues. It's a great Turkish Mediterranean restaurant where you can tell great care goes in to the cooking. The lentil soup is probably the best I've ever had, and the owners seem to really care about creating a friendly atmosphere. It's certainly not the fanciest place in the city, but I always... More
