" What an experience! I have been searching for authentic Mediterranean cuisine and found it at Marlaina's. The dishes are made with such care and authenticity—it felt like I was dining in the Mediterranean itself. I highly recommend the lamb shank and the mezze platter. The latter had a beautiful presentation and the flavors were well-balanced. The staff was welcoming and attentive, providing fantastic service throughout our meal. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marlaina's has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in town! On my last visit, I went for their renowned baklava for dessert, and let me tell you—it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. The sweetness was just right without being overwhelming. Before that, I had the chicken gyro, which was tender and flavorful, and I couldn't get enough of their garlic sauce! The service was friendly, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I'll be back sooner rather than later! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Marlaina's with my family after hearing wonderful things about it. It really is a hidden gem! We ordered the kebabs and salad, and everything was fresh and flavorful. Plus, the portions were generous. The ambiance is cozy, making it a perfect spot for family dinners. However, service was slightly slower than expected, but the food made up for it. Definitely a restaurant I’d recommend; I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marlaina's Mediterranean Kitchen is indeed a highlight of my dining experiences. We were first drawn to it by its charming exterior and welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed a mix of appetizers, my favorite being the Baba Ganoush. The main dishes followed—every bite brimmed with authentic flavors. I also appreciated how the staff checked in frequently to ensure we were enjoying our meal. Overall, a delightful experience. Cannot recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! Marlaina's Mediterranean Kitchen exceeded all my expectations. I went there with some friends after hearing great things about their lasagna and kebabs. I’ll tell you, the kebabs are ridiculously good! The meat was so tender and juicy, bursting with flavor. Not to mention the sides that complemented it perfectly! The decor was charming and really added to the Mediterranean vibe—as close to being in Greece as you can get without leaving the States! The only downside was that we wished we had room for dessert. Next time, I will save some stomach space for their baklava, which I hear is a must-try! Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a dream! I can't say enough good things about the food and the staff. The server was so nice, recommending dishes and even checking up on us multiple times to ensure everything was perfect. The mezze were simply delightful. We had a variety and it was hard to choose a favorite; so fresh and each had unique flavors! The lamb shank was to die for! Each bite was bursting with spices and cooked wonderfully. I was really impressed by the authenticity of each dish. The desserts looked tempting, too. I would have ordered if I weren't so full! I will absolutely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem in Burien! Marlaina's Mediterranean Kitchen has the most incredible atmosphere. I adore the homely feel of the decor and the welcoming staff. My partner and I shared the mezze platter and it was delightful—everything from the tabouli to the stuffed grape leaves had great flavor! The highlight had to be the lamb shank though; melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfectly seasoned. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you receive. We will definitely be returning!
