Hamsa Arabic Cafe & Bistro Seattle

The best restaurant I’ve tried all month! Wow I am so impressed. This cute restaurant offers a huge selection of items that range from wraps, bowls, to matcha and coffee. I got a handful of things to try their menu and each item did not disappoint! Everything was so simple yet sophisticated, involving different flavors and textures. I really liked the crispy cauliflower, fried cheese, and lemonade among the other things I got! The owner Amr is so friendly, he was very welcoming and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant and would come back!

Hamsa is truly incredible when it comes to food and service. I got the veggie bowl with half rice and half salad, and it was so delicious! The falafel was crispy but not oily, the eggplant and cauliflower were cooked appropriately. The hummus is so good, my favorite! The salad was also very tasty, I loved the dressing that was on it. My partner got the beef kebab bowl and the lemonade, and he enjoyed it too. The person behind the counter is one of the kindest people I have come across and she made us feel homely at the restaurant. I wanna go back to try their caffeinated drinks but everything on the menu looks great!

The falafel, hummus, chicken shawarma, tabouleh, kufta and espresso drinks are delicious. I love the gluten free pita bread, veggie and vegan options! I appreciate that it’s seed oil free as well. The food is cooked with avocado oil. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner options! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants authentic Arabic street food with fine dining flavors in a cozy cafe environment.

I’ve been excited to try this place since it opened! I had the Pistachio cold foam latte which was delightful and the fried akawi (a salty high melting point cheese similar to Halloumi) with a honey syrup to dip. The cafe interior is beautiful with calming light blue walls and palestinian decoration. The owner was working when I was here and was so kind and thoughtful. He gave me a ghraybeh to try which is basically everything I wish shortbread could be. I highly recommend stopping by!

this place is such a hidden gem! i dont like most falafel because it’s super dry but this place does it so well! my favorite was the falafel wrap (order tahini sauce on the side) but honestly everything was so yummy! also not pictured but their homemade lemonade is to die for! the owners were also super sweet. definitely recommend this place — it’s so delicious & cozy :)
