The short view: this is a good Mediterranean restaurant. The longer more complete view: First of all I have eaten in the restaurant, and had delivery from multiple third-party delivery services. The plates from the grill are the standard entree: your choice of a protein served on a bed of yellow rice and roasted red peppers with a side of hummus. They are all good; but, my favorite is the kofta plate. These are skewers of mixed ground meat (beef and lamb) they are cooked well; but, are still moist and flavorful. It's definitely worth selecting the side of lentil soup that comes along with the order at no extra cost. This soup classifies as comfort food, at least by my guidelines it does! It's worth the extra ~$2.50 to get a large garlic paste. This is an excellent condiment for all the grill plates. I also recommend the tzatzici sauce (also ~$2.50) to go with the gyro and schwarma sandwiches. For sides the cauliflower is excellent. This is a good way to eat a vegetable without realizing it's a vegetable. The various forms of fries are OK; but, nothing extraordinary. All in all this is a very good place for tasty generalist Mediterranean food! Plus, it's in a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking. As always your mileage and performance may vary.

Got takeout on a Sunday evening and the food was really quick. The kofta meat and rice were a little dry. We enjoyed the gyro meat the best. The lentil soup it came with was superb -- very flavorful and hearty! The garlic sauce was good but they didn't give much of it and it could've been more garlicky in my opinion. Nice soft pita, pretty standard creamy hummus.

Clean, delicious food, service is great and fast! I ordered the gyro plate, so good! I ordered the food to go but sat down to eat some at the restaurant. The gentleman working at the register, brought me food and saw that I stayed to eat. He brought me a cup for water. So nice! Thank you for a great lunch garlic crush!

I eat here at least once everytime that I am in town. I have yet to have a bad meal. Place your order ahead and it will be ready when you arrive.

My family has been coming to this Garlic Crush since we moved to Issaquah and we love their food. Their shawarma sandwiches are our go-to, and we always order a side of their delicious garlic fries. I wish their restaurant was cleaner. When we went into the restaurant today, there were only two other parties and yet most of the tables in the restaurant were dirty with napkins and crumbs everywhere underneath the seats. We normally order this food to go and it reheats really well at home in the oven.
