Was User at Rawa a mag?
We had an incredible dining experience with a beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and a friendly owner! As fans of Central and Eastern European cuisine, we can confidently say this was some of the best we've ever tasted. We enjoyed a delightful selection of dishes including hummus, baba ghanouj, foule, muhammara, chicken biryani, and pistachio baklava. We will definitely be back! View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Rawa:
We ordered and it didn't go through. So when i arrived to pick up they started to make it. The best dish was the red pepper dip. Pita seemed not fresh. Falafel was greasy. View all feedback.

Large group went midday, everyone ordered cocktails and they were all out of this world, very unique and fresh flavors. All the food was also amazing. Service was good but a little slow, however we bombarded them w a large party and ordered complicated to prepare cocktails at a typically slow time so they had no way to predict the need for additional servers. Normal sized parties would probably have normal speed service.

Great place if you are craving Lebanese food. Surprisingly the cocktails are good too!

Great food. I had the chicken kebab. Service was great. Very good setting to enjoy yourself alone or with company.
