    Mixed kabob platter
    Anna L.

    Small kabob restaurant that is mainly for takeout, but there are some counter seating. Their meat is halal as confirmed with one of the employees. Food was decent. A plate comes with rice and pita, while a platter comes with an additional choice of two sides. We had the mixed kabob platter and lamb chop plate. The lamb chop is a good size (not the rack of lamb type cut). Definitely use the provided sauces to give some of the kebab pieces more flavor and moisture.

    Incredible kabob joint with a great variety, came on a Friday evening and there was only a few people. I ordered the salmon platter, everything was fresh, including the bread which was warm. I enjoyed the variety of sauces they offered with the kebobs. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was clean and quiet. I'm giving 5 stars not for the incredible food but also for their amazing 2000s playlist which included Shaggy!

    Excellent food, service is fast and attentive. I told the cook how to cook the lamb and he was very happy to do it my way. It tastes delicious Lamb on a Gyro.

    Falafel Platter with Chicken Kabob Skewer
    Sonal M.

    Good service, however i paid $25 for a platter and chicken skewer because they don't have a combo option for half and half protein. I would recommend trying the falafel, chicken and hummus. Those were the best and most flavorful parts of the dish.

    Lettuce or no lettuce?

    Ordered a Gyro Pita Sandwich with a side of the House White Sauce thru Uber Eats. The sandwich was really good. 1st time eating here and would definitely ordered from then again. The only thing was on the app, the Gyro Pita Sandwich said it came with lettuce but there wasn't any lettuce but the picture on the app also didn't have lettuce so idk lol.

    what a waste of $19. we ordered falafel sandwich specials which are supposed to be $13 total, but the lady who got my order said $15 over the phone. I asked twice and she said $15 for sure. thats why we tipped the delivery guy $3 tips even though my location is less than 5 blocks away from this location. It's our third time having issues and wanted to give them one more chance but not anymore. it's always the same lady who gets my order wrong and spending more than 5 mins to take easy orders (either 1 or 2 items). They ALWAYS messed up my orders and did not put either utensils or dips for fries. Their fries are extremely soggy or greasy. you should ask for less salt otherwise your tongue will shrink. disgusting.

    Yes! They've reopened in the same space with a beautiful renovation! I was so worried that they had closed for good. Got the Chicken Pita sandwich, their awesome skin-on fries, and the roasted garlic dipping sauce. Everything was as tasty and delicious as I remember! Welcome back, Kabob Shack!

    Mediterranean place that seemed to have reopened in Williamsburg recently. The falafel pita sandwich I got for $6 was very good. Extremely filling, and the white sauce they use is scrumptious. Wish it was packed with more vegetables/salad, but the pickled onions were a nice touch. Great pita & quick service.

The space is intimate and inviting, with warm décor that makes you want to linger. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, plus a charming open-air courtyard in the back that adds to the atmosphere.

I went back for a weekday lunch recently and the food and atmosphere both hold up fabulously, so it makes sense why they've remained a brunch mainstay at both their East Village and Williamsburg locations. I enjoy that they serve their hot moroccan tea in a glass as is traditional, so you can see all the fresh mint leaves in your cup. I had tea like this multiple times a day during my trip to Morocco a few years back so sipping on this here took me back in time. I ordered a short stack of their blueberry pancakes which were very fluffy and delicious. They're not the kind of pancake with crispy edges, which are my preferred kind of pancake but I still found them satisfying. The moroccan eggs, which are two poached eggs in spicy stewed tomatoes and served with zahar pita is a delight. The pita is very fluffy and the zahatar adds such a nice fragrant spice to the bread. They used to serve this with potatoes but now those come at an additional charge but are well worth getting. The Williamsburg location also has pretty good wifi and they let me work on my laptop through my brief stay there. Kitchen was speedy too.

The restaurant itself has a modern, chic décor with a lively but moderate noise level. It strikes a great balance between energetic and intimate, making it an excellent spot for a romantic date night if that's what you're looking for. Our server, Sam, absolutely made the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, answered all of our questions with confidence, and did an amazing job matching our preferences with the perfect food and drink recommendations. Her service was exceptional from beginning to end. We started with the pita and hummus, and you could immediately tell everything was made from scratch. The pita was warm and fresh, the hummus was incredibly smooth and flavorful, and you could truly see and taste the quality. For dinner, we had the burger with the house chips. Both were excellent, and I especially loved the herb mayonnaise that came with the chips. I didn't even realize it was mayonnaise at first because it was so fresh and flavorful! We also shared the Caesar salad, which was delicious. The next morning, we came back for breakfast and ordered the Jerusalem bagel with egg and cheese. It was absolutely decadent and the perfect way to start the day. Between the outstanding food, beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service, this restaurant exceeded every expectation. A huge shoutout to Sam for making our visit so memorable. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in the area to explore more of the menu and, hopefully, have Sam as our server again!

I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering.

I thought it would be quite heavy but when paired with the pita bread it was just right - light and fluffy with a light drizzle of honey made it a great ricotta - however, ive had better ricotta before at theodora lamb shawarma ($20) - i wasn't expecting it to be a dip but it was delicate and delicious anyways - this is probably my fav dish out of all 3 - the dip was strong and smooth; tasted unique but not anything too impressive either - the lamb was super tender but it was quite strong; i dont think people would've been able to handle it if theyve never had lamb before rating: 4/5 - everything we ordered was good and the quality is definitely there so it's a solid 4 but nothing really stood out - ive had better and more innovative dips elsewhere - the vibe is cute though!

There is also an outdoor dining area, as well as a mid-sized dining room and we were seated near the window. Sawa serves Lebanese cuisine with some more modern dishes. Additionally, they have a mostly Lebanese wine list, which gave us an opportunity to try some new wines. We ordered both a red and a white for the table, and I was especially drawn to the red, as the red was served chilled, light-bodied, and very enjoyable. Nearly all of the reds and whites on the menu are from Lebanon, with just one red from Morocco, plus a couple sparkling options from Lebanon as well. We started with several dips for the table: hummus, baba ghannouj, and muhammara. The hummus was incredibly smooth, and the muhammara was especially flavorful with large pieces of walnut throughout. Everyone at the table receives fresh pita, and we ended up ordering a few more to share. We also shared the Brussels sprouts and the snap peas. The Brussels sprouts were rich and flavorful, but the snap peas really stood out. They were unlike anything I have tasted before, intensely mint, served with garlic mint labneh, and very delicious. For mains, we focused on lamb: two orders of the lamb ribs, two orders of the kafta, and two orders of the sfeeha. We probably over-ordered by about one entrée, but otherwise it was the right amount of food for six people. The lamb ribs were phenomenal, fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The lamb pies were also very good and came with a delicious dipping sauce. The kafta was good, though not quite as memorable as the other lamb dishes, but still very satisfying. Service was attentive throughout the meal, and despite the number of dishes on the table, the staff handled everything smoothly. The table got a little crowded at times, but it was manageable. I would absolutely recommend Sawa, especially for anyone who enjoys trying something a little different. They do classic Lebanese dishes very well, while also offering some creative dishes that feel unique and memorable. I am already looking forward to going back.
