" Cafe Paloma feels like a hidden gem! I love eateries that capture the essence of their cuisine, and this place does it nicely. I had the spinach pides, and they were delightful. The cozy and casual atmosphere makes it ideal for a couple of friends or family get-together. Highly recommend trying their desserts; the baklava was to die for! With friendly service and a nice selection of Mediterranean dishes, I would definitely return! Rating it a solid 5! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently went to Cafe Paloma after reading several enthusiastic reviews and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, making it a lovely spot to enjoy a meal. I ordered the chicken kebabs and they were delightfully juicy and well-seasoned. The portion was generous, which always makes me happy. One thing I noticed is how fresh all the ingredients tasted. It was clear that they take pride in their food. I'll definitely be back! Overall, I give them a strong 4.8 rating. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cafe Paloma for lunch last week and was really impressed! I had the lentil soup, which was perfectly seasoned and hearty. I also tried the falafel, which was incredibly tasty, crispy on the outside. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. The atmosphere was charming with unique decor and a warm feeling that drew me in. The only downside was I had to wait a bit longer for my order. But overall, I give this place a solid 4.5!

" Last week was my first time at Cafe Paloma, and I was pleasantly surprised! The place is quite nice with an inviting atmosphere. I ordered the quail dish and wasn’t certain what to expect. It turned out incredibly delicious! The seasoning was balanced perfectly. My friend had falafel, and she said it was among the best she’s had. Service was a bit slow, but since we weren't in a hurry, it didn't bother us. Overall, I give it a 4-star experience - I’ll definitely come back again to explore more of their menu!

" I stumbled upon Cafe Paloma while exploring Seattle and it quickly became one of my favorite food spots! The restaurant has such a charming vibe, decorated with vintage photographs and cultural artifacts. The standout dish for me was the lentil soup, which was hearty and flavorful. I also tried their beet salad, and it was so refreshing! The baklava for dessert is a must- it was perfectly sweet! It's rare to find such a cozy and delicious Mediterranean eatery. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Overall, definitely a 5/5 experience, can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" This tiny cafe is a wonderful spot for a quick bite or a cozy lunch. I loved the authenticity of the food, especially the lamb gyro which was beautifully seasoned. The staff was very friendly, making the experience all the more pleasant. I don't know how they achieve such flavors in a small space! The baklava was a great end to the meal, sweet but not overly so. Prices are reasonable, which is a plus. I would definitely recommend Cafe Paloma to anyone looking for a great meal. I would rate it a solid 4.5. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cafe Paloma was charming, but not without issues. The food was decent, I had the kofta and my partner had the falafel plate. The kofta was a bit dry, but the flavors were bold, and my partner loved her dish. The seating area is quite tight, so be ready for a more intimate dining experience. The desserts were a highlight, especially the baklava, which was perfectly sweet and flaky. Service was a bit off; we had to wait longer for our drinks than expected. All in all, a lovely atmosphere but needs a few tweaks in service. I would rate it a 3.5 overall, but will give them another try. " (*Curated Review*)
