I ordered the rice bowl with chicken shawarma, hummus, seasoned onions, fried cauliflower, and creamy garlic with tzatziki and white sauce. The meal came with a lot of protein which was nice. I wish the sides were a little bigger and that you could choose more than 4. But got lots of meals out of this and flavors were good! Prices seemed fair for the size.

We chose a hightop in the bar area. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and took our seats. Next we were given menus and asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. The place is nicely decorated with wooden walls, wine bottles strategically positioned on the walls and table set ups. Our waitress was Ada who was very friendly and attentive. We ordered drinks and were given just the right amount of time with the menus. My date and I selected three tapas to share and a nice bottle of wine. The other couple selected a salad to share and two entrees. All of our choices were served hot and timed perfectly. The food was delicious and the entrees were huge! The manager gave us each a glass of sparkling wine as a finishing touch to a great evening. We will definitely be back.

They have an outdoor, indoor, and bar seating area all of which are nice. There was music playing quite loudly but without asking the worker immediately turned it down.

The food then quickly came out. And I would say everything was delicious! I really enjoyed the bisque, linguine, and the bruschetta as stand outs. Will be back!

Mediterranean is not my jive but it seemed like a good spot for a date night. Seemed. We were seated quickly, which was nice. It wasn't what I'd consider busy, but apparently it was busy for them on this particular night of service. Took about 15min from the time we were seated to have our order taken. Better half says it is usually more calming and intimate. Tonight absolutely was not that. It gives... Starbucks, if it served Mediterranean food... like, no coffee. With teacup candles. Real ones. (fire code???) I ordered the wings, with low expectations. Anyone that knows me and my heart also knows how I feel about a good wing. These wings were not that. They came out looking exactly how I anticipated them to based on what I saw in previous reviews (and the item description, which, shockingly, was painfully accurate) -- sad, and beige. First bite revealed various shades of pink, although the skin was seasoned nicely. I'm partial against this style of chicken wing so its hard for me to give it any credit... moving on. I also had the chicken kebab sandwich... which isn't really a sandwich. Its more of a ... gyro? I liked it. The chicken in the sandwich was really nice. Cooked well, definitely cooked better than the wings. Wish the cuts/pieces were smaller though. It was nice and hot, but also kind of wet, I guess from steam? It came wrapped in sort of a parchment paper, that was also wet. And the closer I got to the end, the more liquid dripped out from the bottom. Water mixed with tomato, other spices and whatnot... it wasn't pretty. I got less and less interested as I made progress. Better half got the Merguez Kebab Sandwich/gyro thing. Similar to my Chicken Kebab, the cuts of meat were huge however it was just hard to come to terms with the notion that they were each fully cooked through, and it was also... wet. More wet than my Chicken Kebab. She didn't finish it, and I don't blame her. The hummus was nice. The pita was hot and fresh. You could see some of the char from the skillet it was made in, which was nice. Unfortunate that either are individual at-cost appetizers (although looking at my receipt, I can infer that the first pita was included with the hummus as I was only charged for one and we had two). I don't think I will be returning there on my own volition. Maybe tonight was a bad night, and that happens sometimes. The staff were certainly nice, and considering it was a Saturday evening, the volume of patrons is worth appreciation. It wasn't rowdy, the music was nice, the ceiling fan blades passing over one of the ceiling lights drove me crazy a little bit, but it is a nice place. I'm just a little let down that this was how my Saturday night dinner went. I'm still hungry, dawg. There was also a woman in scrubs(?) or some sort of inpatient-wear that walked past the restaurant outside, locked eyes with the folks at a table, smiled and waved, and slowly meandered away until she came back to walk in the other direction. Not sure what that was about, but its typical New Haven shit. Stranger things have happened, lol! TLDR if you're not super picky/sensitive about your food and you're a big (gotta be big) fan of Mediterranean Fusion food, I absolutely recommend RAWA. Otherwise... hard pass -- for me, at least. Respectfully.
