About This Place

Nestled in the vibrant Melrose Avenue corridor of Seattle, Mamnoon offers an authentic journey into the rich and aromatic world of Middle Eastern cuisine. This restaurant masterfully balances traditional flavors with modern culinary finesse, making it a go-to destination for anyone seeking a memorable, flavor-packed dining experience.

Mamnoon’s menu shines with an array of mezze that invite sharing and discovery. Start with their Baba Ganoush, a silky blend of charred eggplant, tahini, and fresh parsley, served alongside warm, soft pita that perfects every bite. The Hummus here is elevated by Palouse farm chickpeas and the subtle heat of Aleppo pepper—creamy, tangy, and just begging for more. Other small plates like the Crudite offer fresh vegetable delights, while the Muhammara lures with its smoky walnut and pomegranate molasses richness.

For those looking to indulge, the entrées at Mamnoon are a celebration of texture and spice. The shish tawouk—marinated, juicy chicken grilled to perfection—is a standout, praised for its tender, flavorful profile. While some patrons have noted a rare miss with the NY steak’s dryness or an undercooked chicken dish, the attentive staff’s warm professionalism ensures every dining experience feels personalized and cared for.

Complement your meal with specialty coffees and teas, such as the deeply satisfying Turkish Espresso or a luxurious Cappuccino, each crafted to enhance the layers of flavor in your meal and soothe the senses. Don’t miss the dessert offerings like Baklawa, where layers of flaky phyllo, pistachios, and fragrant orange blossom water create a perfect sweet finale.

The atmosphere at Mamnoon is inviting and vibrant—ideal for everything from intimate anniversary celebrations to lively dinners with friends. Customers repeatedly highlight the friendly, attentive service, reinforcing that the staff’s warmth matches the richness of the dishes. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or a meat lover, the variety of thoughtfully prepared dishes ensures that everyone leaves satisfied and eager to return.

    The four of us shared 4 share plates, two entrees, and a bottle of wine. All of the share plates were GREAT. I highly recommend the chicken dish for entree. It was juicy and a good balance of flavors. One caveat— the chicken dish was undercooked, which the server managed the situation well. I don’t recommend the NY steak. It’s a little dry. Overall, great atmosphere, food, and service!

    Went here to celebrate our anniversary. There was a slight snafu with the reservation, however the staff was warm and accommodating with zero wait time. The food was amazing the service was excellent. Ordered the “spoil me” and wow. Lots of food and the flavors were delish!! Would come here again.

    Comprehensive and proper menu offerings of Middle Eastern plates. The variations of hummus are simply delicious and so do other mezzes — baba ganoush, crispy cauliflower, and fatayer. The Lebanese red wine we had for the table turned out to be a wonderful one, too.

    Mamnoun was absolutely incredible. I obviously can only vouch for the things we had, all of which were AMAZING. Their shish tawouk is to die for. Their dips sampler: Wow! We especially loved the Hummus harr and labneh. Our waitress Byrdie was great and on top of things! Will be back FOR SURE.

    Our group of two vegans and one vegetarian had a fabulous dinner here! We chose to have a number of small plates to share rather than ordering entrees. There was so much delicious food - so many vegan options, my mouth waters just thinking of them. And it was so much fun as well! Highly recommended.

    I ordered the Tasting menu with wine pairing and it was well worth the price. I felt the food has so many layers of flavors and felt like they burst inside my mouth with freshness and that was just the appetizer. The main dish, lamb kabeb and Halibut, gave me one those rare experience where you cannot help but keep nodding and savoring every bite. Even something as simple as Syrian rice, was an inspiration. And the special garlic pita , if you have not tried it, you didn't know what good pita is. I have the late great Anthony Bourdain to thank to know about this restaurant.

    Likely one of my favourite restaurants in Seattle and I don’t even fully understand what middle eastern food really consists of. But the food here is absolutely amazing and the service cannot be beat either. We received a complimentary dish because their kitchen was very busy and took a while to have our appetizers done, I found that to be very thoughtful. All the food was the best combination of flavours and I was honestly so impressed by how good everything tasted. My favourite is their scallop dish, absolutely mind blowing. I will definitely come back to this place.

    We stumbled into this place by accident. We were looking for dinner and a drink before a show at the Funhouse, and the pictures looked good in review. We were seat2d right away and greeted immediately by the server. Food was amazing. I gave the service the 3 only because they missed an item in our order and we had to take it to go because of time constraints. All In all the experience was fantastic and we will be back when we have more time.
