Mediterranean Mix

by Jonathan C.

I like this place so much, I falafel. Seriously, it is where I go for falafels in Seattle. They are fresh, filling, full of tastiness and only  $4.50.The vegetable plate looks amazing as well. They also serve gyros and pizza, but I can't get past the awesome falafels.

On day 2 of KCSC jury duty after having done some research and asking around on Yelp, I selected much more wisely than Thai Star and came here around 11:30am, apparently barely missing Michael O.Even at 11:30, all the tables were full (all 4-5 of them), and a line of people formed behind me while I was deciding - this place is definitely popular.I had a shish tawook sandwich ($5) which was large and full of chicken and garlic goodness. If I had to eat lunch around Pioneer Square, I would definitely come back again and sample more of the menu, although I will say that despite how good and cheap it was, I can't give it 5 stars because it still made me long for Mediterranean Kitchen. I hope they're willing to take me back after this indiscretion.

Pieces of heaven on a plate...That's what it's all about at Mediterranean Mix. You're going to get your usual variations of lamb, chicken and beef, and behold, they're all delicious. Go for any of the gyros and salads, and you won't be disappointed. The menus are easy to read, and you'll notice that they offer cheeseburgers and their signature cream cheese hot dog as well. It's a little odd, but they're catering to the crowd, so I'll take it!I've been here on a Friday night, and it's quite nice to be able to sit down at a proper table and enjoy a drunken meal rather than making a mess over it on the sidewalk. Alas, eating Mediterranean Mix's meals both drunk and sober, I can honestly say that it's delicious both ways.MMMmmm!!! Best gyro in Pioneer Square/surrounding area- been coming here for years. The only reason to visit Pioneer Square.The decor of the shop is great, assorted trinkets from Seattle teams and random artwork is scattered on the walls and from the ceiling.Open late very late!Best place in Seattle for "real" (a.k.a. New York-style) falafel sandwiches and other Mediterranean fare.Although I'm vouching only for the falafel.  Which I love.  The sandwich is a divine concoction, featuring 4 balls of crispy, dense, spicy, deep-fried (of course) falafel folded into a pita and doused with tahini sauce, additional chick peas, lettuce, chunks of tomato, and onions.  It's a sturdy sandwich, as they don't open the pita, but use the thick fluffy bread as a wrap.  Much less prone to tearing than pita used as a "pocket."  They'll hot it up with as much red sauce as you like, and slather on extra tahini sauce if you ask!  Tummy busting goodness, for around five bucks.  Yay!  I'm a fan!It's late...really late at night and as you pick your head up from some all-encompassing project that must be done in the off-hours or you're just getting in late from your extracurricular activities...and you're hungry.  Out of luck?  Not if you're into mouthwatering shwarma, grilled chicken, falafel, or those famous Seattle dawgs with cream cheese...cuz Mediterranean Mix is open, they also have a candy counter and geez Louise am I a happy camper here!This is a great lunch spot. I work nearby and come here from time to time. They are fast, reliable, and pretty much everything on the menu is good. I tend to get the Chicken Schwarma, which is my favorite. The gyro's are also pretty tasty. I'm not sure if they are even open during dinner hours, but if you're looking for some good lunch, nothing too big or too small. medi-mix is a good pick.

A perfect place to turn to when we had missed our bus after the event at Crimson C. The perfectly fluffy pita helped to dry my tears AND soak up the numerous martinis in my tummy. The meat was tender and delicious and the tzatziki sauce was some of the best I have tasted. I don't find myself in the neighborhood very often, but next time I do, I'll be walking right past the hot dog cart and back to The Mix.Edited because apparently I was too drunk to realize I was actually at the Mediterranean Mix, and not the, now closed, Mediterranean Kitchen.... :I

Since no one has bothered, I think I will pay homage to the meat served at this place; specifically the Gyro's.  Isn't that the true meter of a Med joint?  Whatever, it is for my flesh eating ass...They are insanely good - huge chunks of perfectly marinated lamb nestled in crisp lettuce and topped with onion, tomatoes and perfect Tzatziki.  So much food that you feel like pulling a Costanza and taking a nappy under your desk.I also am a total slut for good Baba, and I LOVE theirs.  The mush itself is great: garlicky, smooth and smoky.  The preparation of the sandwich is what I love the most however;  all wrapped up in warm, thick pita with a generous scoop of minty tabbouleh and the usual veggies and finally topped off with their nummy tahini sauce.  This was one of many preggo cravings for me and why our child is sometimes referred to as Baby Ghanoush.  I will end with the more humorous items on the menu, or at least one of them:  The Cream Cheese Dog.  What in the name of Falafel is that thing?   Has anyone tried it?  If so, please message me and tell me all about it.  I tend to avoid cream cheese because of the nasty side effects that it produces in me.   However, I have to say I have been very tempted by the ghetto fabulousness of it...Zania is your other option in the area for the same basic stuff and you will pay $8 there for what you pay $5 for here, and it wouldn't be nearly as good. Definitely worth trying to park in the Square.

The best falafel ever, and cheap! I love this place, working downtown it's hard to find a decent, affordable eating establishment since everwhere you looks it's nothing but upscale, snooty booty cafes and wine bars. Nothing beats going here before or after a M's game if you starved yourself enough and avoided the $10 garlic fries. Seen a few concerts at qwest field event center and descended on this place in the later hours. Sitting outside on a warm summer morning around 1 am with tzatziki sauce dripping on your shirt, nothing comes close. I love the wall of sport's memobilia they have, although seeing Gary Payton wearing a Sonics jersey always gets me teared up, R.I.P. supes.

It's late...really late at night and as you pick your head up from some all-encompassing project that must be done in the off-hours or you're just getting in late from your extracurricular activities...and you're hungry.  Out of luck?  Not if you're into mouthwatering shwarma, grilled chicken, falafel, or those famous Seattle dawgs with cream cheese...cuz Mediterranean Mix is open, they also have a candy counter and geez Louise am I a happy camper here!

Note: this review is only about the hot dog cart out front. My husband's band played at the Central Saloon a few times last summer and the only thing that saved the smelly and loud situation at the Central was the hot dog cart outside. Like an oasis in a very chaotic desert, Mediterranean Mix's hot dog cart quenched our cream cheese thirsts. The band and myself all had a $4 hot dog piled high with grilled onions, relish, sour kraut, ketchup and our choice of jalapenos, brown mustard or yellow mustard. This cart is unique from the one outside of the Comet on Cap Hill because their buns are always fresh and toasted, they cut their sausages in half so as to get a good grill going on all the way through the meat and the little Greek gentleman at the Mix is always enthusiastic and will shoot the breeze with you whilst your meat is on the grill. They're out there grilling up dogs for the masses until 2 am on weekdays! But since the summer their doggie prices have gone up to $5 a piece. Still very worth it though. Ack, my mouth is watering for one of those plump sausages already.**Review not intended for those with dirty minds.
