    The first spread... the meats followed
    Maria G.

    What an experience! I went with a friend to try this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. Our only regret was we couldn't finish our meal! The ambience was nice and the service was great, from our waitress to the owners. Sami and Ameers both came by our table to talk to us, it made me feel welcome and excited to learn about their cuisine. The food was very flavorful, the meats were juicy and tender, and the falafel was one of the best I've had! I'll be back Mashawi!

    Wow....this place is fantastic and caught all of us by surprise on how much food you get even after the host stopped by and told us not to indulge ourselves too much of the hummus, salad, Baba Ganouj, salads even though all of them were very good. We were almost tempted to order more corn and beet salad because of the amount of fresh meat and seafood options that continuously came our way with large portions Before we knew it, we were getting full and hardly could eat anymore of the fresh lamb, beef, salmon, shrimp and chicken charbroiled options So so good We loved this place but it's not cheap.

    A bit of serendipity lead us to this Mediterranean restaurant for the first time. While looking to take my partner to another nearby Alpharetta Mediterranean restaurant, I inadvertently got the Mansell Road address mixed up with the Mashawi. I had previously been to the other restaurant and walking into the Mashawi I freaked out because it looked totally different from the other intended destination. But my fears were soon calmed by the display of Mediterranean food laid out in front of us on the lunch dining table. Delicious! We will definitely go back to this serendipitous find.

    Overall, the food was pretty good especially the hummus, pita bread, falafel, and the garlic sauce. The rest of the food was just fine but nothing outstanding. I noticed that it's a set menu and it's only all you can eat during dinner, not lunch (lunch is served everyday even on weekends). On the bright side, the inside felt a bit fancy and the dessert was decent.

    Come hungry! We came here late on a Friday evening ready to eat. The ambiance is sooo cute, and I can definitely imagine coming here with my whole family. The food was incredible and everyone who stopped by our table was soooo nice. Shoutout to Ameer who was our server! If you like Arab / Mediterranean food, this place is for you! Mashawi is similar in concept to a Brazilian Steak House. They bring out soooo many different side dishes without you ordering something specific. If there is something specific on the menu that they haven't brought out , you can order that. Then the meats (shwarma, kofta kabobs, juicy steaks, fish, and shrimp) come one by on, sometimes on the skewers. All under one cost (45.99 for dinner). I also got the Limoo Naana drink (Lemon Mint), and it was very refreshing. I hope to try the Kunafa next time we come, but this time we were just too full Definitely recommend Mashawi and am sooo excited to add this to my list Halal restaurants in Atlanta.

    The food is amazing! I should have taken a "before" shot! Mezza - the salad and appetizer presentation was delicious and we hope all our friends will pop in! Next time we may try the meats.

    Ask the Community - Mashawi Mediterranean

    Are there outdoor seating options?

    When I dined there, no there wasn't any seating outdoors. The way you are being served your meal in would be difficult for that to work for the staff, not to say as warmer weather approaches, it couldn't work for the restaurant to pivot and set up… 

    Do they discourage having to order more food, once they bring out the food for the first time?

    Don’t know the answer to your specific question. However, it was five of us (women) in attendance for lunch. Enough food was brought out to care for each individually. It was more food than we could handle. It seemed that the food just kept coming.… 

    What is the price for lunch?

    $25 for a variety of food - lamb, chicken, salads, etc.

It's in a shopping center so there's free parking. It's right off Roswell Road so you really can't miss it even though it is kinda off in the corner but it's still easy to find . They have a little outdoor area so you can actually sit outside if you wanted to be in the element and it's actually covered as well because it's right under the awning of the building so that's an option too. You come in and it's a large shop but it's not a lot. Most of the space there is going to be seating. You can look around and they have a little market area but the market area is very small. They do have particular specific items so you can check that out while you wait for your food. You can see the menus on the board and everybody there is super friendly and they'll explain anything to you. We had a pretty good short conversation while I waited. Love the customer service . Hummus - I tried the hummus and it was okay. Nothing crazy about it and it was just regular and not like it was roasted red pepper or garlic or anything like that but it was decent . Chicken shawarma wrap - the wrap was pretty good. It wasn't great but it was pretty good. It had a lot of color to it, meaning they were seasoning it for sure, but the flavor was only okay. The flavor was not popping out of your mouth but it was a decent but subtle flavor. It was super tender! Chicken kabob - the kebab plate came with two skewers and rice with a salad and it came with some garlic sauce as well. I think that the kebab was better than the shawarma to me. It had the same char flavor but mixed with the rice and the garlic sauce, it took it up another notch as well. You got a lot of it though so it wasn't like you only got two pieces of meat per skewer and a small handful of rice. You got a bed of rice so it was really good. The salad was low quality but I really didn't care about that because I didn't come for salad lol. Overall you paid maybe like $12 or $14 for this. It wasn't bad for a full plate . All in all it was a pretty decent experience. They're very customer-oriented and customer-friendly so you go in there, you will be fine. They'll take care of you

    I usually hesitate to leave 5 stars but they deserve it…read more The food was exemplary, the service was great and the environment/ atmosphere was beautiful. I came in before they closed but they still took wonderful care of me. They claim the chicken is hand slaughtered but I am not sure 100% as I haven't verified their vendor yet. Overall I will be coming regularly. The bathroom is also well maintained and was clean.

    Nothing about my first time to the new Rumi's was positive. For a 9 o'clock reservation we didn't…read moreget seated until well after ten o'clock. While we waited, we sat at the bar. I ordered a simple Bombay martini and one of the specialty cocktails for my wife. The bartender made my martini in a shaker and I remember hearing him asking someone else to stir it for him. For the next ten minutes or more, the bartender proceeded to make drinks for the waiters, I remember him spilling out two drinks and remaking them while my martini continued diluting in the melting Ice. Ten minutes or more later, he pours my martini into more of a champagne coup glass than a martini glass, and I waited another five minutes or more for my wife to get her drink. When I tasted the upmartini, It tasted so diluted, just bad, almost commical to me. I just laughed to myself because i've tended bar for a living and that was about the worst martini i've ever had in my life. Either Rumi is watering down his booze or the ice melted so much that there was barely a gin taste in the glass. I think their gig is rather than give you a real martini level pour they dilute you with so much melted Ice that you think you're getting a full pour martini, when, in fact, what you're getting is half gin and half melted ice. And believe ME, you are charged as though it was a real martini. The place was pretty busy, so a lot of people must not have a clue... or just like busy places. If everybody says, this is such a great place, I guess it's gotta be. Unfortunately, that's just Atlanta-if it's popular everyone just assumes it's good or pretends it is. I don't do well with pretend. Next after being seated at the table, i tried to order wine least expensive wines (so overpriced)-they were out of all of the lower-end overpriced wines I tried to order. It just bugs me to overpay so much for bottles of table wine. They're barely twenty dollars charging, 60-80 for them. But of course, ten minutes after I ordered the wine, this happened twice, the waiter told me they were out of the ones i was trying to order ( everyone must have had the same idea). Oh well. Right before the table was served the main course, the waiter and manager came to tell me that they had run out of the dish I ordered. I ended up replacing it with their duck dish that I had never heard of before but what the hell I'll try it (maybe I deserve it, because I remember my father always told me you never ordered duck in a strange restaurant you don't know) Everyone else at the table of 8 were served their meals ten minutes before my plate arrived. i'm like, please go ahead and start without me. Then, the duck arrives. I mean, if you're such a Rumi's, fan, try the duck and tell me what you think. First of all, it was lukewarm for something that apparently had just been made. The lukewarm duck comes 'in" this purple sauce, I mean, it wasn't even swimming in the purple sauce-It was submerged in the purple sauce. The waiter, of course, later brought me the wrong type of rice than the one i oredered..That's okay they brought me a new one right away. I was really starving at the time, but if I hadn't been, I don't think I would have eaten any of the duck. Being submerged in a kind of a sickening, putple sweet sauce it just wasn't appetizing at all. Challenge: if you're a big Rumi's fan, go ahead and please try the duck, but you have to try it like I did- lukewarm temptation. Then tell me if you remain an unconditionalRumi's fan. The bread is delicious though. To their credit when I tried to order 2 glasses of red wine after my meal was served, they did give us the vin de table for free. I won't be coming back here anytime soon.

    In my most recent visit I experienced the worst service I have ever had in Rumi's Kitchen. First,…read morethe dish I wanted was sold out and it was only 8pm. Then I ordered albaloo polo, à la carte koobideh kabob and Mast Khiyar. But my server forgot to place the order of the last dish. And it took over 40 minutes' wait to get my food. Worse, there was no diced cucumbers in the yogurt. Probably they mistook my order for Mast Musir which is yogurt with shallots. Worst of all, even if the restaurant says it accepts OpenTable dining credits, the dining credits actually could not be used in the restaurant! Or at least, the staff did not know how to use it. No apologies, no remedies. I was disappointed. For a reference, I dine in at Rumi's Kitchen (Colony Sq/Sandy Spring branch) at least twice a month.
