Every week is restaurant week at Cafe Munir. We used to participate in Seattle restaurant week but not anymore! It seemed like a great idea at the time but because of our range of mezze dishes, it never worked out in the eyes of our customers.

We work only from the best whole ingredients we can buy, in time honored, mostly traditional processes, to bring together food that will reflect our part of the world as best as we can imagine. Combined together, the dishes compliment each other to fulfill a complete picture of texture, taste and nutrition that separated they cannot.

We know that eating out in Seattle is one of the most expensive luxuries in the country and don't want our message to be communicated clumsily just for the sake of getting someone in the door for a one-time questionable bargain. We want our diners to experience the whole of what we are giving, pure and undiluted! If it is appreciated, you will come back again, and hopefully again.

There are a lot of organizations exploiting businesses in the guise of helping locals discover whether they are influencers, reviewers, or even some posing as representing charity. Over the 15 years that we have been here, we have taken part in every one of these and 99/100 found we could do better for our customers and ourselves by doing it ourself!

For other establishments with other menus and other food, these work very well perhaps, but for us, we are left with a bad taste and as foodies, we only want to be tasty!

That's why from now on, we will be donating 5% of all of our sales directly to one of our favorite children's charities, the PCRF (Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund) as long as Seattle Restaurant Week is going on (October 18-31). Please look up this charity to see if it aligns with your values or not before coming because whatever you spend at Cafe Munir will directly fund them🙏🙏🙏🙏

Fatteh is a classic dish in Lebanon and neighboring countries. It has many variations but always is based around toasted or fried bread and a sauce made with tahini and yogurt and varied ingredients between them. We have done several versions over the years.
Our current one consists of Lamb cooked with black trumpet mushrooms and eggplant, on a bed of buttered, toasted bread, covered in the garlicky yogurt and tahini, more toasted bread and sizzling butter with pine nuts. I think it's our best one yet, but as a chef, I am prejudiced by my fondness for rich and delicate layers of delicious texture and flavor.
See what you think!

We love meatballs!
We love kifta/kafta!!
We love kifta balls!!!
Cooked slowly with carotts in a tangy tomato, pomegranate sauce, with yogurt and pomegranate seeds. It's our new favorite.
If any store employee proudly tells you pomegranates are in the fall only, slap them and go somewhere else!
Joking, of course!!

Happy new year! We are back after our yearly seasonal break for the Xmas and new year's eve festivities. We have been open this week already! Broken in twice over the break, luckily we don't have anything to steal🙏 there's a pandemic of this sort of thing going on in Seattle at the moment. In every neighborhood.
Discouraging but not defeated!
Anyway, we are here. Serving wholesome, vigorous, strengthening food for our overindulgences of the past few weeks! Welcoming back our old friends and new.
Peace and health for the new year❤️💪!

All the best wishes to the new year! I hope you have a nice holiday season, regardless of religion, sect or movement. We're all in this together, lets not f it up for ourselves and the future❤️ !!!
