Depends on who you talk to, but the airy, crisp falafel at Mawadda Cafe is likely among Seattle’s top three—and definitely the best in the South End. Also on the menu: shawarma, gyros, spanakopita, baba ganoush, foule, and moussaka among other Mediterranean dishes. Service is not always the fastest, but the wait is well worth it.
