Mariana B.

Small place, but comfy. Staff very friendly. Delicious food. Wrap had no taste. But other two plates were amazing. Rice and coleslaw were delicious!!! Tasty Kafta.

Schwarma wrap
David S.

Phenomenal. Super authentic food with amazing flavor and really great service. It's not in the nicest area, but don't let that stop you because everything we had was fantastic. I highly recommend the chicken shawarma since they make it fresh for you and you can definitely taste the difference. The wraps were packed with flavor too. Honestly, I didn't even know what everything was that we ordered, but I ended up loving every single bite. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

Perfect Iraqi food spot in Orlando. The vibes are wonderful and the food is right on spot. The kabob is very authentic and the food has the perfect Iraqi flavor. If you want to find Iraqi or Arabic food in Orlando with authentic taste, this is the spot. I am very impressed, I didn't expect to find one in Orlando. I'm definitely coming back again. The hot tea is brewed well that it takes you back home to having dinner at your family's home. Service is also excellent and fast. This place fits large groups also.

Authentic halal food

This restaurant delivers with exceptional flavorful food for both dine in and take out. When I walked in the aroma was so familiar. I placed an order and while I was waiting. A memory unlocked in my brain. Growing up 6-12 grades in the Midwest I spent a lot of time in the home of my best friend whose family was from Iraq. She always mentioned they rarely ate American food, but I loved their homemade authentic meals. Rawsha was so good and much better than I remembered. I ordered the chicken kofta wrap which was full of ground chicken, lettuce tomatoes, spices and a creamy sauce. Tightly rolled in a grilled to perfection wrap this was so good I did not realize the sauce had splashed on my shirt. They have an open kitchen where you can see the chefs, both men and woman preparing your meal to order. Service was prompt and the short wait for my order was worth it. The dining room was modern with nice decor touches. They have tables that resemble wood or butcher block. The bathroom was so clean and spotless. I would rank it in the top of restrooms. It looked like the toilet had a bidet hose - wow upscale. My sandwich was sadly too big to finish but I plan on checking out more of their menu items.

Grape Leaves

I have zero complaints from this restaurant.Its a simple pick up and go or sit dine restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. The food was great I ordered the Iraqi Kabab and grapes leaves . Nice portions of food I was not disappointed. I will definitely be returning when I come back to Orlando.

I tried this place because it had 4.7 stars not sure why but let me just begin. The food was OK really no flavor at all like normal authentic Mediterranean restaurants would have. I had the chicken rice bowl. Your chicken was dry. The pita bread was like cardboard really thin wasn't fresh at all. They gave it to me in a Ziploc bag. I got the baklava and ice cream. The baklava tasted like it was old not fresh at all and the ice cream tasted like it was in the freezer for a really long time in an open container at that both were really nasty. A waste of money. The rice bowl was OK but not for four stars.

Beef shawarma
Raena D.

Visited 30 minutes prior to closing on a Sunday night. Chicken shawarma was no longer available for the day which was fine, we opted for beef instead. Space seemed very clean, however we did not visit the restrooms. Felt the pricing was a bit high for essentially rice, chicken, and chickpeas. Our to-go order consisted of chicken kabob with rice and hummus and a beef shawarma with a side of hummus. Both sides of hummus came with bread. The hostess gave us a second shawarma on the house I'm assuming since we were there near closing, which was very nice of her. I'm giving Rawsha three stars due to pricing, and overall the flavor of the food was a bit lacking (other than the hummus). There are other Mediterranean restaurants in the area with lower prices and tastier food that we will return to before returning here. Our food wasn't bad, just not spectacular or on par with what we spent.

Fetush
Chris K.

This is one of those hidden gems close to Turkey lake. Fairly new Mediterranean spot in the Orlando area. Located in the plaza next to Walmart on Turkey lake and Wingstop. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma on the lunch menu and it was delicious ! Paired that with some Fetush and orange soda. Definitely hit the spot and will recommend for anyone to stop by for a meal ! Great service , friendly staff and ambiance is so relaxing and subtle. Parking lot can get filled since it is located in a plaza with multiple other franchises.

Hummus
Ty J.

My wife and I came here and we both found that the food was PHENOMENAL. She got the Shawarma Mix Wrap and I got the Syrian Beef Wrap, as well as the hummus. All three were very flavorful. Service was polite, and the background saxophone music made for a nice setting -- not too loud, not too quiet. Would recommend and eat here again!

Idrees K.

This is probaby the only Iraqi restaurant in Orlando! I had the Iraqi kebab, although a lot of middle eastern food is similar, the Iraqi kebab did have a distinct taste that I enjoyed! Its a small restaurant but with quite a bit of tables and seating. The service was very attentive and quick! We got the food pretty soon and it was made fresh!

Fattoush
Samar R.

This restaurant has lots of potential. They're clean. The server is friendly. They have a decent menu of items to choose from. Presentation of the food is decent. However, the food is lacking in... flavor!! There's no seasoning. Not even salt. Mediterranean especially Middle Eastern food is full of flavors and seasonings and this is everything that the food here lacked. I can't reccommend them at this time. Food took very long to make when there were only 2 tables and of patrons. The food is definitely fresh but sadly it wasn't anything I enjoyed. I'll give them time to hopefully adjust and I'll give them another try in the near future.

Beef shawarma  Hummus (S) (8oz)
Feras A.

Best shawarma I've had in a long time! Super flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Great service and clean place. Highly recommend Rawsha Mediterranean Cuisine!

Chicken skewers
Tasneem A.

I thought this place was good. It was clean and staff was friendly. The beef shawarma was good but has a very strong lamb/gamy flavor. The grilled chicken was good, baba gannoush was amazing, bread and hummus could be better. That being said, It's really a 3.5 star for me because they don't have chicken shawarma every day, it's not really a sit down type restaurant but they make it one which means you will be tipping. It's also over priced. We paid $75 for 3 people.

This is such a hidden gem! My first time here was for an event, and I was so pleasantly surprised…read more The space was very unique, with a little Moroccan store with dresses, little knickknacks, and even some perfumes. The space is huge, and they have a little private area for prayers. They have a very large space that can be partitioned for privacy or events. The food was delicious & the service was wonderful, even with the large party & the others using the restaurant.

I wanted to like this place more than I did. For starters,…read moreI never would have noticed it had I not stayed in the hotel next door. It's set far from the road in a nondescript stucco two story. Windows are darkened so you can't see in. But reviews on yelp looked promising. Food was very good. I am not knowledgeable of Moroccan cuisine but seemed authentic and freshly made. Service - extremely friendly and personable. But I was alone, there were only three other tables occupied, and I had water, one course, and dessert...and I was there for 90 minutes. Again everything seemed freshly made so that may just be what's needed but it was a little long to sit alone Decor is initially impressive, colorful and on theme. But on closer inspection the tablecloths are thick vinyl - mine had what appeared to be a cigarette hole burned into it - and the clear glass vases had cheap fake plastic flowers in them. I was seated in the center with standard chairs but tables along the walls had banquets with overstuffed Moroccan pillows and velvet upholstery. One table had a pair of beautiful green velvet Chesterfield sofas. There's a little shop in the back but had I not read about it in a review I wouldn't have noticed as it was behind one of the tables and from a distance just looked like more decor. There's a stage with a video screen which showed music videos while I was there but assume live music must be available certain nights. There's a hookah lounge attached but seemed independent and no mention of it was made.

Tried out Byblos since the change in ownership, and love the changes! The added vegetarian options…read morewere great! The place is much cleaner and more modern now. Also great prices as well for lunch. Loved the hot sauce they gave as well! Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

I'm a huge lover of Mediterranean food, so I was very surprised to have never stumbled across by…read moreByblos before! A very cute space close to Bayshore and gives all the Mediterranean vibes. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. In the spirit of expanding our culinary pallet, we ordered two apps that were new to us. The Kebbeh was very good - i'd say similar to a meat hush puppy? Krispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The Baba Ganju was different than what I was expecting and not something I personally liked (not any fault to the dish, I'm just a texture person). The chicken shawarma and gyro platter (it's a platter at dinner) were FANTASTIC! Seriously, so much flavor, fresh, the meat was not overly cooked. Everything tasted very fresh and we seriously had no complaints!! We also ordered a side of Batata, which are sort of crispy potato cubes with chili flakes + garlic - so good! I will say when we got there, there was a mishap and we waited over 20 minutes to be greeted and introduced to our server after we sat down. Once our server realized we were in her section, the rest of our service was amazing! I think that was just a one off fluke, and I would not let it negatively impact my experience.
