Inventive and daring, and supremely tasty, dishes in an industrial setting. Service and cocktails were equally excellent. Hamdi is a standout in the Seattle dining scene and a personal favorite!

Transported to a place I haven’t been, with flavor combos I haven’t experienced before. Fun, delicious, compelling, you can taste the live fire in every dish it touched. We had a great time, and everyone we interacted with was authentic, friendly, and helpful.

We found a number of dishes on the menu that he could enjoy.It’s best to ask the wait staff to help navigate the menu. On this particular evening we had one person with an egg allergy and another person with a whole food plant based diet; with the assistance of the restaurant staff we did fine.Somewhat difficult to find parkingFree parking lot, Free street parkingParking is a little tricky. Street parking on this evening was unavailable (very common in Seattle) but there is a free parking lot belonging to a coffee house across the street that we used.
