Alwaha Mediterranean - The Bronx

Oh my god this place is amazing. Order the hummus, it comes with a just-baked hot pita the size of a large pizza. We had the hazeez (lamb) and it fell off the bone and was so tender. They brought us out lamb soup compliments of the house. The staff was really friendly. Would absolutely come here again.

The shawarma is not real shawarma that cooks vertically on a rod. This looks like sautéed chicken and lamb pieces. Not good at all. They need to stop selling this saying it?s shawarma.

To start, the staff was quite rude and took their sweet time getting our orders despite the place being near empty. The food itself is quite bland, the soup is too watery and the tea lacks flavor. You're better off going to Yemen Cafe

I usually get mixed grill from this place. Also they?re soup is the best!

The atmosphere here is pretty much relaxing, great place to sit, eat and enjoy. The staff is very kind, but a little forgetful; you?d ask for something and they forget to bring it to you, but with a reminder they?re good. The food I?ve had so far the few times I?ve been here, are the shawarma wrap, mixed grill and the beef kofta platter. Shawarma wrap; excellent. Mixed grill; kofta was very dry, chicken was different. I?ve never had chicken with this flavor at any othermiddle eastern restaurant, unique for sure. Beef kofta platter; meat was very dry. Other than the dryness of the kofta, the food had flavor and I liked it. When you come here, be prepared to wait. The food takes a long time to cook.
