Mawadda Cafe Burien

The food here is great! It’s Mediterranean and middle eastern and there’s something for everyone. Great bold flavors. There is a wait so order ahead. One dish I ordered had pita and there was only one peice. On the other hand my salad was huge! The spanokopita is so rich!

First of all, the food here is fantastic! Everything I have eaten from this place is well prepared and delicious. I especially recommend the lamb shank, the chicken shawarma, and the sambosas. That said, I would recommend getting takeout, rather than dining in, especially if you are dining later in the evening. Both Google and the posted sign on their door state they are open until 9pm, but we have not found that to be the case. Twice we have come in around the 8:00 hour (the first time we thought it might have been a one time fluke), and seated, only to get rude and reluctant service, and parts of our order either incorrect or totally missing.

A Royal Treat at Mawada Restaurant Embodiment of Culinary Excellence My experience at Mawada restaurant was nothing short of exquisite a grand feast for the senses, combining fine dining with the heart of traditional, authentic fare. In an era where authenticity is hard to come by, Mawada has seamlessly woven true tradition with a modern dining experience, resulting in a harmonious symphony of flavors and atmospheres. Right from the first bite of the Sultani, I was transported. This distinctive dish masterfully combined a charbroiled fine meso kabob, juicy lamb, and Smokey chicken bread seared and marinated to perfection. The flavors were outstanding; they simultaneously whispered of time honored cooking techniques while boldly declaring an innovative twist. The way the spices mingled was a testament to the chef's skills, not overpowering, but rather, lifting each ingredient to its prime. The lamb was tender and succulent, the meso kabob was beautifully charbroiled, while the Smokey chicken bread was an absolutely delightful surprise it added an element of warmth and depth to the dish, creating a balanced and vibrant palette of flavors. In the sphere of customer service, Mawada stands unrivaled. The staff were not only proficient and professional but also genuinely friendly. Their knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they offered suggestions that were perfectly attuned to our preferences. The service was efficient and unobtrusive, adding to the overall tranquility and high standard of the dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant also deserves a special mention. It managed to be both comfortable and elegant, creating an environment where one could appreciate the nuances of the culinary journey laid out by the chefs. Mawada restaurant is an extraordinary place that serves not just a meal, but a culinary experience embedded in culture and taste. It is a shining beacon in the realm of gastronomy. The restaurant impresses with its thoughtful balance of traditional and modern, with impeccable service and, most importantly, an array of exquisite, intricately flavored dishes that will leave you craving for more. I would highly recommend Mawada to anyone seeking not just a meal but a memorable dining experience. Mawada offers a little bit of culinary magic, and it's that magic that will bring me back, time and time again.

Oily, not fresh anymore. Disgusting. I'm sick and not being myself anymore. Last and final . Use to be the best, but now in my books, no more! Thought of this place all the time, but if you need a stroke or fast heart attack, this is the place for you. The only best thing here is the pita bread. The salad, no way too large and old mixed small portions and the rice, OMG, Disgusting , so smell like animals crawl into the mix. The lamb shank was too oily, and the gyros had no flavor . The prices are not even worth the compliment to the chef. This place used to be the worth wild for my grandchildren, but now they go next door to the Terriyaki house, then here. Was amazed with their reaction turning this place down. Great Atmosphere for the Next Generation, Service still the same with old gentlemen arguing behind the counter, in front of children and customers. Maybe that their culture

I wanted a chicken gyro but the place I originally called was sold out. We came here to Mawadda Cafe and got the “Chicken Sandwich.” It’s like a gyro but has Shawarma chicken instead. It’s sooo good omg. Also got a Baklava, was good too; it had pistachios and tasted like lemon.
