Mamnoon

I was visiting Seattle for the first time, walking in the downtown looking for a place to have lunch. I did what I would normally do when I visit a new city to find food. I went on google map and searched for restaurants with high rankings. Many restaurants were closed during the noon. Mamnoon was one of the few restaurants that was open during the noon hours and its ranking was good so I decided to check it out. The location was easy to find from the map and I was supposed to order in the front table before sitting. I ordered Zatar with chicken Shawarma and Baklava for desert. They offered both indoor and outdoor sitting and I preferred to stay inside. For the lunch time the main indoor area of the restaurant was closed and I sat in one of the booth in the front side of the restaurant. My food was ready in about 10 mins and it was served in paper wrappings. I didn’t expect to get the Baklava in paper wrapping because it is supposed to be filled in sweetened syrup but the Baklava I go

Atmosphere and decor is great. Food no! Small portions. Few dinner selections. Chicken kebab with minimalist seasoning. There is no shish kebab. The red cabbage in the salad and the sauce were too bitter for us. Updating to 4 star: A waitress/manager offered to remove the salad from the bill. She was nice and asked us about our dining experience. Also, it was a freezing 26 F degrees day outside. All we had to was sit there and eat. For that I thank them. They deserved another star.

If I could rate zero, I would gladly do that... The place is not worth a single dollar... Total they are charged+ 20% (64$) tips without asking And my friend didn't know about it and gave +$100 cash tips... From service to food "0" It was my birthday and this restaurant ruined my whole day!!!
