Matt J.

Business Owner

Garlic Crush owner, Matt Jabbour, originally from Lebanon, moved to Bellevue in 1998 for a position at Microsoft. With his family, he bought and operated a small Mediterranean grocery store in downtown Bellevue in 2004 where they sold homemade artisan dishes from their homeland. With the unique Mediterranean menu he offered, his fresh, authentic, casual food quickly became popular and Matt made a decision to expand into more of a "fast, casual" restaurant and move away from the storefront business. In 2008, Matt left Microsoft and opened the fist Garlic Crush in Bellevue. In 2013, Garlic Crush Issaquah was open.
