Description

Mousa’s Restaurant offers a mixed dining experience that has garnered both praise and disappointment. Guests appreciate the charming ambiance and attentive service, often highlighting standout dishes like grilled calamari and a generous cheese platter. However, inconsistencies in food quality, particularly with meat dishes, have led some diners to rethink their return visits. While certain appetizers delight with their flavors, main courses have been critiqued for toughness and dryness. Despite these struggles, many visitors find value in the vibrant tapas menu, making Mousa’s a recommended spot—especially before a show—offering a blend of old-world charm and modern flair.

The menu offered a refreshing change from what is typically found in the area. There was a great variety of options, and the staff was very attentive.

The food was excellent! I ordered the Sampler platter, and all the meats were outstanding. The service was wonderful as well, despite having a new waitress. The place has a charming atmosphere that adds to the overall experience.

I have been here a few times and you can't beat this place. When you go out to dinner you want the whole package to be great, ambiance, food, service and the value. This restaurant has it all. The wine is reasonably priced. The food is great. We ordered the mixed grill for a appetizer and the octopus was a good size. Was expecting a tiny piece but it was big. Dinner was a mixed platter for 2 but it can feed more. Mix of sausage, kebabs, gyro, pita bread, potatoes. So good. Mousa has become one of my favorites
