I have dined here at least five times in the last few years. The owner/chef is always very gracious and food is affordable and deliciously authentic Mediterranean, reflecting his broad interpretations of a blend of cultural influences.
My friend and I had a fabulous meal at Caravan Kebab! The food, prepared by Chef Shahzad was fresh, healthy and incredibly delicious. The atmosphere is festive without being distracting. A wonderful restaurant, and I plan to bring my family back. They are going to love it.
Delicious! We had apps, dinner and dessert. Everything was Devine. Will return to try other items on the menu.
Wonderful food and wonderful employees! Best curry I've ever had! The people who run this place must be some of the nicest people. They have given us complimentary dessert to take home twice now. Try them out!
Every dish I have tried has been delicious. Service is great and so friendly. Love this place!
Truly love the food and the staff! So glad they are so close!
Wonderful birthday dinner with friends. It was our first time here, and we loved everything we ordered. We will definitely be back with reinforcements to try more items from this interesting menu!
TO MY LOCAL, SEATTLE-AREA FRIENDS . . . If you need a nice, comfortable - yet a bit unusual - restaurant for a generous, reasonably-priced meal, try Caravan Kebab on Firdale Avenue in Edmonds. It's a gem that's tucked away on the edge of a humble shopping strip in its quiet neighborhood. I've been there just once, but watching the warm interactions between the owner and his customers tells me that people return here again and again to enjoy the restaurant's cozy, beautifully decorated, warm interior. Lovely atmosphere and yummy food!
Caravan is one of my favorite. The chef is amazing. The foods are all some of fusion of various foods from India, Pakistan and middle east. They all taste phenomenal.
Ready to be surprise since what ever you order would look and taste better than you thought.
The Persian salad was fresh and flavorful. We also ordered garlic naan which freshly baked. The Turkish koofte kebab is on point as well.
We are so glad that we tried this place out! The environment is so cozy and exotic. The price was reasonable, compared to other similar restaurants. Good portion size! Most importantly, very good food! The garlic naan was the best I’ve ever had! Thinner and crispier than most of the other places’, it smelled so wonderful garlicky when it arrived. We ordered Lamb Shish Kebab, which was so juicy and tender. We fought over the bell peppers of the vegetables served with it… because it was cooked so perfectly, sweet and crispy. We normally won’t order Tikka Masala with chicken, because the chicken chunks most likely would be tough. The one at Caravan’s tho, was not as much of a red hue as we had from the other restaurants, however, the spice and texture was so intriguingly amazing; the chicken bites were so tender that it was incredible. It almost like a different presentation of the same dish, in a very good way. The Moroccan Lamb Tagine which turned out to be my favorite. The lamb pieces, again, juicy tenderness; the vegetable creates a good harmony and the spices blended in perfectly. Love. It also serves with couscous that I ate a big chunk before I mixed them in the dish.
We didn’t get any free on the house dessert as the website states; and the server didn’t warn us about possibly too much food (I appreciate those who did). We did see many of the different dishes from different cuisines being included in the menu, such as borscht, beef stroganoff, polish dumplings, kebab, curry. Their website states that the chef’s menu is a “collection memories, experience, and flavor.” How amazing. Just as the Japanese would say, while eating here, we could picture the chef’s vivid memories of making the dish at where the cuisine was originally from. I appreciate it.
Nice place as we dined outside and people were friendly. I enjoyed the soup and the platter with a little bit of everything to try. Not a fan of the hummus. Overall great experience
So we walked-in closed to closing and they are very kind enough to take us in. I love how kind enough for us to experience great cuisine with their culture through food. We order the Beef Nahiri, hummus pomegranate chicken and two mango lassi. The food came in fast. Love the aesthetics because it showcase their Mediterranean cuisine. The food is highly recommended for good authentic middle eastern, Mediterranean cuisine.
Multiple flavors are available in this cool restaurant, including Indian and Mediterranean, etc. It’s my first try here and wonderful experience I have. Owner is nice and easygoing.

I am so thankful that Google recommended this restaurant to us. When we saw this was a favorite of Rick Steves, we had to try it out. We've eaten here four times and have been so impressed with the flavors and presentation. The takeout was good, but eating in the restaurant takes it up another level with the warm ambience. Eating at Caravan Kebab is like taking a journey down the silk road. I'm usually skeptical of a menu that tries so many different cuisines, but chef Shahzad executes so well on food from countries like Morocco, Greece, Pakistan, and India. Our favorite dishes so far are the Persian Salad, Lamb Shish Kebabs, Moroccan Lamb Tagine and the Haandi Curry.
Lunch on a Saturday, very slow. I had Tandoori chicken, my friend had mango something. Both of us enjoyed the flavors, I had a veggie medley that might've had 10 different vegetables! Great decor, good wine selection, good service.
