    The rice is delicious!

    Mashawi was an AMAZING experience! I couldn't have asked for a yummier meal for my birthday celebration! Our host Sami and his team made it a wonderful experience. Food was delicious, service was on point, and they were so respectful of our dietary and picky kiddo restriction. We're already planning a trip back to indulge more!!

    Want to try something different, unique? Go to Mashawi. You get numerous dishes of very tasty food and meats. It's definitely an experience. We will be returning.

    Wow....this place is fantastic and caught all of us by surprise on how much food you get even after the host stopped by and told us not to indulge ourselves too much of the hummus, salad, Baba Ganouj, salads even though all of them were very good. We were almost tempted to order more corn and beet salad because of the amount of fresh meat and seafood options that continuously came our way with large portions Before we knew it, we were getting full and hardly could eat anymore of the fresh lamb, beef, salmon, shrimp and chicken charbroiled options So so good We loved this place but it's not cheap.

    My experience at Mashawi Mediterranean Restaurant was outstanding from the moment I booked my reservation to the moment I walked in. The staff made me feel completely at home, and the owner personally came over to welcome us. He explained that he'd be serving the full menu from appetizers to entrées -- and he delivered with genuine warmth and confidence. Food: The food was exceptional -- truly some of the best halal cuisine I've had in Atlanta. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, authentic flavor. As someone who's tried countless Mediterranean, Pakistani, South Asian, and Asian halal restaurants, Mashawi still managed to stand out in a big way. Service: The service was top‑tier. Warm, attentive, and personal. The owner and staff made sure we were taken care of from start to finish, and their hospitality made the whole experience feel like visiting a second home. Ambiance: The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated. From the presentation of the dishes to the overall vibe of the space, everything contributed to a memorable dining experience. This was my first visit to Mashawi Mediterranean Restaurant, but definitely not my last. They've earned a loyal customer. Kudos to the entire team. ---

    What an experience! I went with a friend to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. Our only regret was we couldn't finish our meal! The ambience was nice and the service was great, from our waitress to the owners. Sami and Ameers both came by our table to talk to us, it made me feel welcome and excited to learn about their cuisine. The food was very flavorful, the meats were juicy and tender, and the falafel was one of the best I've had! I'll be back Mashawi!

    The food service and ambience here was so 10 out of 10. I loved it because literally a nice spot aesthetic inside the service here for how they deliver you the food on a stick like when it comes to the meat so creative and unique I loved the kebabs, the lamb, the shrimp the salmon that they gave us. The shrimp was my favorite the green salad that come from Mediterranean and Palestinian types of dishes were so yummy the hummus the bread the salads, the beet salad everything was fresh each sauce was so good their lemon, mint juice and their orange carrot juice so good. Oh my God like literally my favorite. I would come here with family Halal vibes and nice lunch dinner spa in the perfect area and loved it.

    Overall, the food was pretty good especially the hummus, pita bread, falafel, and the garlic sauce. The rest of the food was just fine but nothing outstanding. I noticed that it's a set menu and it's only all you can eat during dinner, not lunch (lunch is served everyday even on weekends). On the bright side, the inside felt a bit fancy and the dessert was decent.

    Come hungry! We came here late on a Friday evening ready to eat. The ambiance is sooo cute, and I can definitely imagine coming here with my whole family. The food was incredible and everyone who stopped by our table was soooo nice. Shoutout to Ameer who was our server! If you like Arab / Mediterranean food, this place is for you! Mashawi is similar in concept to a Brazilian Steak House. They bring out soooo many different side dishes without you ordering something specific. If there is something specific on the menu that they haven't brought out , you can order that. Then the meats (shwarma, kofta kabobs, juicy steaks, fish, and shrimp) come one by on, sometimes on the skewers. All under one cost (45.99 for dinner). I also got the Limoo Naana drink (Lemon Mint), and it was very refreshing. I hope to try the Kunafa next time we come, but this time we were just too full Definitely recommend Mashawi and am sooo excited to add this to my list Halal restaurants in Atlanta.

    A bit of serendipity lead us to this Mediterranean restaurant for the first time. While looking to take my partner to another nearby Alpharetta Mediterranean restaurant, I inadvertently got the Mansell Road address mixed up with the Mashawi. I had previously been to the other restaurant and walking into the Mashawi I freaked out because it looked totally different from the other intended destination. But my fears were soon calmed by the display of Mediterranean food laid out in front of us on the lunch dining table. Delicious! We will definitely go back to this serendipitous find.

    Ask the Community - Mashawi Mediterranean

    Are there outdoor seating options?

    When I dined there, no there wasn't any seating outdoors. The way you are being served your meal in would be difficult for that to work for the staff, not to say as warmer weather approaches, it couldn't work for the restaurant to pivot and set up… 

    Do they discourage having to order more food, once they bring out the food for the first time?

    Don’t know the answer to your specific question. However, it was five of us (women) in attendance for lunch. Enough food was brought out to care for each individually. It was more food than we could handle. It seemed that the food just kept coming.… 

    What is the price for lunch?

    $25 for a variety of food - lamb, chicken, salads, etc.

It's in a shopping center so there's free parking. It's right off Roswell Road so you really can't miss it even though it is kinda off in the corner but it's still easy to find . They have a little outdoor area so you can actually sit outside if you wanted to be in the element and it's actually covered as well because it's right under the awning of the building so that's an option too. You come in and it's a large shop but it's not a lot. Most of the space there is going to be seating. You can look around and they have a little market area but the market area is very small. They do have particular specific items so you can check that out while you wait for your food. You can see the menus on the board and everybody there is super friendly and they'll explain anything to you. We had a pretty good short conversation while I waited. Love the customer service . Hummus - I tried the hummus and it was okay. Nothing crazy about it and it was just regular and not like it was roasted red pepper or garlic or anything like that but it was decent . Chicken shawarma wrap - the wrap was pretty good. It wasn't great but it was pretty good. It had a lot of color to it, meaning they were seasoning it for sure, but the flavor was only okay. The flavor was not popping out of your mouth but it was a decent but subtle flavor. It was super tender! Chicken kabob - the kebab plate came with two skewers and rice with a salad and it came with some garlic sauce as well. I think that the kebab was better than the shawarma to me. It had the same char flavor but mixed with the rice and the garlic sauce, it took it up another notch as well. You got a lot of it though so it wasn't like you only got two pieces of meat per skewer and a small handful of rice. You got a bed of rice so it was really good. The salad was low quality but I really didn't care about that because I didn't come for salad lol. Overall you paid maybe like $12 or $14 for this. It wasn't bad for a full plate . All in all it was a pretty decent experience. They're very customer-oriented and customer-friendly so you go in there, you will be fine. They'll take care of you

Stopped in for the first time last week. I had this bookmarked for a while and decided it was time to check it out for date night. Hubby ordered the beef sticks with grape leaves and I ordered the burger with a side of fries. We started out with the saganaki (flaming cheese). Everything was delicious with the exception of the grape leaves (can't recall the official name of this dish). I told hubby that some reviews had mentioned they were soggy and not too good. He agreed with those reviewers and would not recommend. The saganaki was both literal and metaphorical fire. The pita points it was served with were crunchy, which was pleasantly surprising. We both did wish there was some kind of sweetness to complement the cheese like a fruit jam or something, but it was delicious regardless. The beef on the sticks was tasty as was the burger but the star of the whole show were the fries. Hubby typically does not like fries but he loved these and was happy that I let him share them with me. Lol I am not sure what kind of seasoning they had but our taste buds definitely approved. They don't come with the burger but were definitely worth getting on the side. It was a little on the pricey side at about $35-40 more than our typical date night spend for less food, but it was good overall. Too pricey to make it into our weekly rotation, but will be a nice addition to our special occasion options.

Mediterranean Express in Roswell offers a really fun combination of Mediterranean favorites and Indian classics, so the menu has something for just about everyone. If you're looking to try something a little different from your typical Mediterranean restaurant, this is definitely a place worth visiting. On this visit, my wife and I ordered the vegetable samosas, samosa chaat, butter chicken flatbread, butter chicken with rice, vegetable korma with rice, cheesy naan, and garlic naan. Every dish came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and paired perfectly with the fluffy basmati rice. The vegetable korma was comforting, full of vegetables, and had a wonderful creamy sauce. The butter chicken flatbread was a fun twist that worked surprisingly well, combining Indian flavors with a crispy flatbread. The samosa chaat was another standout, layering crispy samosas with chickpeas, yogurt, chutneys, and fresh toppings for a dish full of different textures and flavors. Don't skip the naan! Both were excellent, but the cheesy naan completely stole the show for me. It was soft, cheesy, buttery, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of sauce. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our meal. Before we left, the owner brought me a complimentary Mango Lassi just so I could try it because he was proud of it. That kind of hospitality is something you don't see every day. The Mango Lassi was smooth, creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be ordering one the next time I visit. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has plenty of seating indoors along with a nice outdoor patio if you'd rather enjoy the weather. Parking is also easy since it's located in a shopping center with plenty of spaces available. This is one of those restaurants I'll happily drive back to. Great food, excellent service, generous hospitality, and a menu that's fun to explore. If you enjoy Mediterranean food, Indian food, or both, I highly recommend giving Mediterranean Express a try. It's a place that has definitely earned a return visit from me.
