Shanasheel Restaurant and bakery - Kent (WA)

5 /5 Sayed Mohammad shah Alamy: I have been here since I got here in WA, I go all the way from Whidbey island to Kent only for their delicious food. The food, service, cleanliness, decoration all have been amazing to me and always make me happy to be there.

1 /5 Ahmad Samir: Tonight’s visit was extremely disappointing. After placing our order, we waited 30–40 minutes to receive our food. When it finally arrived, it was cold, there were no plates on the table, and it was obvious that the service was disorganized. When we informed the owner that the food was cold, instead of apologizing, he simply said, “It’s okay, I am warming it up.” No concern for the customer at all — which is unacceptable, especially considering that this restaurant is very expensive and customers rightfully expect better service. The entire large restaurant was being handled by only one waiter, who was trying to serve three to four tables at the same time while also working as the cashier. Because of this poor management, our food got cold and the service suffered badly. It honestly feels like the owner is trying to save money on staff instead of providing proper service. What makes this even more disappointing is that this restaurant used to be much better under the previous owner. I invited guests and their family tonight expecting a great experience — and instead, it was embarrassing. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially if you plan to bring guests. What I expected to be a pleasant evening turned into a zero out of ten experience.

5 /5 Melanie Goodman: first time here, overall the food was great. the portions are big, I shared the beef and lamb shawarma plate and im so glad I did. the other person in my party ordered chicken curry and that was a good sized. I also ordered hummus and the falafel as an appetizer. the falafel was ok. not the worst, but not like hot dang this is the best ever. atmosphere...was ok. needs some work. service was good. was cool to see the baklava and khanfeh wasnt bad. would definitely go here again.

5 /5 Yusuf Ibrahimi: Highly Recommend! Shanasheel Restaurant & Bakery is amazing! The food is fresh and full of flavor, and their ash is one of the best I’ve ever had. The bread is warm and delicious, and the service is friendly and fast. If you haven’t been here yet, you should definitely try it — you’ll love it!

5 /5 Paul Ashworth: Push your limits a little bit this place is a hidden gem. It feels like you’re stepping into another country but well worth the experience. I’ve been here several times and each time has been amazing. Trying a different dish each time. They have some baklava and different types of desserts that are just like fantastic yet. I’m on a diet so I can’t eat that right now.
