They even have a few unique items not usually found at a deli- like Ceviche and tres leches cake! Service was fast, and (even while wearing a mask) it was obvious the man who helped me loved what he does through his smiling eyes and care- one of the friendliest people I've experienced in Milford! As someone who has worked in restaurants many years growing up, I truly LOVE and appreciate great service! Can't wait to be back for the Ceviche and to try the BLT... and Greek salad... and they had a giant piece of chocolate that was calling my name too!!

This is a very friendly outstanding place on York Street that is comfortable, A survivor from the 1970's I would return and return just to make sure this continues for the decades to come. I can't imagine it not being in this location as a place to think back to visits from the past . Our most popular items are pizza and the large greek salad. That doesn't mean the greek specialities are in second place-- it is just that we have become so happy with that salad as we can't get anything close to it in other places. It is also healthy with all the different elements in the salad. That hasn't stopped us from getting sandwiches including chicken salad and pasta dinners as well. We even go for the hamburger with fries on occasion-- making sure to also enjoy a vanilla milkshake. So pleases try this restaurant. With more and more chains and "new" foods the older familiar places sometimes get overlooked. This one should not . With the long term staff and the qualitf food today this restaurant continues to make itself a required visit with every trip to New Haven. You can breath heritage at every table., Can;t wait for the next excuse to visit.

He was not dissapointed. The rest of us got a burger, Hungarian sausage, a panini, and steak. Our waitress was very pleasant and I was impressed with her creepy contacts lol. We'd told her it was Alex's birthday, and were surprised to see his birthday dessert come out on fire - with 2 donut people impaled by sticks and oozing strawberry jam. It was very cool. I got an espresso creme brulee and my parents shared pistachio cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Not to mention the vibe in the restaurant was very relaxed while slightly eerie. The decorations were very appropriate for Transilvania. Its a little bit of a drive for us, but I'm looking forward to going back soon

Great cocktails, GREAT FOOD we ordered a lot! It was just me and my husband. For appetizers we had the Romanian style meatballs, and Romanian style Chicharrons, both excellent! I had the 12 oz NY Strip Steak Med-Rare and he had the Hungarian Paprikash. We also ordered the Pastrami Reuben. Everything was excellent, my god! My husband had the Romanian beer and I had their red Romanian wine. Now service was s l o w. Which was a bit disappointing as my husband had been wanting to come here for a long time having been a CT resident all his life. It was 30 minutes after we were seated to get our order taken, plus another hour until the appetizers and entrees were brought out all at the same time which of course we ended up having to wrap up and take home. It appears very family friendly but I wouldn't bring anyone under 12 here as the wait is long, the music and noise is loud AND the decor may be too much for younger kids. That being said- you should still check out as it's an experience.

Staff is as friendly as always and food-made with pride and attention and you taste it in every bite! We started off with the mixed cold appetizers which consisted of hummus, babagannoush, haydari (yogurt mixed with dill, garlic, walnuts and oil), patlican (cold salad of cubed egg, peppers, garlic and an incredible tasty tomato sauce), antep ezme (cold salad of tomatoes, hot peppers and bell peppers, parsley, garlic, walnuts), havuc tarator (carrot salad dip)-all delicious! And their bread, moist yet crispy but so good! Main courses consisted of Chicken Shish, marinated chicken grilled as kabobs served with 2 types of rice-husband LOVED it and this type of food is really not his jam but he was in heaven. I had the yogurtlu kebab with lamb adana-fabulous! So much food in both platters that we had leftovers for another meal and so healthy but yet so decadent! Dessert consisted of their rice pudding which is a homerun and revani which worked together fabulously as it took some sweetness away from the revani. Cannot wait to go back-everything on their menu looks delicious and would love to go with a great big party so that everything can be tried and devoured. If you are in the neighborhood, try them-you will not be disappointed and this food travels exceptionally well so great option for take out!

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.

Walking in felt great, the ambiance gave homey vibes in the best way possible, it felt like I was about to get some great eats. The gentleman at the counter recommended I get the combo since he saw me eyeing the butternut-squash & apple soup that they had on special. Anywhere I see soups, it's a wrap. You are able sub out for fries or salad if you'd like that instead of the soup, plus you get a drink. I decided to go with the soup special & chose the chicken souvlaki. Flavors were there, chicken was tender, & in my opinion the simplicity was top tier on this. The butternut-squash & apple soup, was DELICIOUS. I would've taken a whole tub home. The Kefta lamb burger tasted delicious, not dry at all. Their feta fries were also a great addition to the combo. I can't wait to be back another time, to try more of their menu items. I get why this is a favorite for many.

I was…read morea little overwhelmed by all of the choices on the menu and decided to get an omelette for dinner. I could choose three veggies and a cheese. I picked spinach, arugula, mushrooms, and their house made queso blanco. It came with a few yummy French-fry-style roasted potatoes and one of their famous dinner rolls, which was multigrain and very hearty. Not cutting edge but all well-made and tasty. The bakery items looked amazing but I was full! So I got a piece of their carrot cake, which other customers were raving about, as well as a vegan gluten-free sunbutter cookie. I very much appreciate that they have outdoor seating! They happen to be very close to a smoke shop, so eating outside they just were a lot of people vaping or smoking as they passed. It's also a particularly hectic corner with people going to the theater or for music show. But I am planning to come back while I'm here and to try something else!

I swear that's why I've always loved tofu! And I'm mostly vegan now the past 28 years, and my mother the past 12. This place is a staple in New Haven and testament to their good food for staying open all these years. When Claire's first opened vegetarian restaurants weren't a thing, and over the years the menu has shifted.. but it's always good. For me it's home cooking style, comfort food.. they have their own style. This place was around before everyone was freaking out about carbs.. thank god! I never leave without a cookie and a muffin for later.. they're the best! I recently got hooked on the Sunbuttter cookie, and also enjoy the Lithuanian coffee cake muffin. Soups and salads come with the classic Claire mini loaf! A delicious buttery(is it vegan? don't know) mini loaf of bread, just as tasty as I remember it from my childhood. Their oat milk Matcha Lattes are creamy and they don't slack on the matcha. The service is always friendly and helpful. The menu accommodates vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free options as well. enjoy!
