If you have eaten at a restaurant 50 times over the last 7 years and more if one goes back…read moredecades. how can you not be a fan? 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.

This rating goes right down the middle…read more They are super nice here. Good seating outside. The pizza was a little greasy and heavy for me, between New York and Chicago styles. Very reasonable though!

Came in around 4 pm on a Saturday. There were two people eating, and one other person who came in…read moreto pick up food. I walked in and a worker greeted me, confirmed I was getting to go because I walked up to the ordering screens. I got a chicken sandwich, pita chips, and baklava, which came out to around $30. Then chips come with either hummus or baba ganoush, and I didn't write down when I ordered which I wanted so they asked me. The restaurant was a nice and casual place to eat with some outdoor seating, but I opted to go and my food was ready probably 10 min later. The pita chips were freshly made! Really hot. I got baba ganoush which was good and lemon and garlic heavy. The chicken sandwich was also good, a ton of hummus, and possibly heavy on the dill? Chicken was well flavored and well cooked. The baklava I got was huge, maybe twice the size of baklava I'm used to eating. So happily consumed that. Overall good place with reasonable priced and tasty food!

Very tasty, great patio, friendly vibes…read more I came here to get falafel, but I saw that they have mujadara, which I love. So I ordered that and then just a couple of falafel balls to taste. The mujadara was very yummy. A little oily but that's a dish I love and you can't find it everywhere. The falafel was tasty too, although the individual balls came without any tahina, so I imagine it would taste better a little moister. Overall, the patio was a great surprise, especially when you think that the outside seating is just the tables in the front. And my dish was yummy.

The kofte lacked seasoning, in the past I remember it being flavorful and juicy, but it lacked salt and was a bit dry and crumbly. The chicken shish kebab was very well marinated and most pieces were cooked perfectly, melted in your mouth! However, there were a couple pieces that I can best describe as rubbery and tough. It looked cooked inside, but it could not easily be cut with a knife or bit into, and it made a weird "rubbery" sound as I bit into it. I think this is not a cooking issue, but rather maybe the quality of the chicken breast? The pieces that were good were really good. The mixed cold appetizers were good, a nice size to share with 2-3 people, and the warm bread and butter is always a delight. I'm not sure if today was just a fluke due to the meat batch or if the cooking style has genuinely changed (it's been quite a few years since my last visit). Perhaps the Adana kebab would have been better as it is a ground meat. Our waitress was friendly, and we thought the portion sizes were good

It was my first time here. My better half has been here quite a few times in the past, and always…read morespoke highly of it. 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.
