    Traditional Sampler Platter-Ftourna /  فطورنا
    Cecily W.

    I came here for Valentine's Day with my bf and it was THE BEST. We got the sampler platter and split it between the two of us and we were absolutely full by the end. This was supposed to be a light breakfast stop but we ended up nearly rolling out of there from how good and fresh it all was. Our waitress was so attentive and straightforward which I loved. Also, the ambiance is gorgeous. It makes you feel like you're in a different place and the draped fabric is beautiful. Also shoutout Palestine.

    Amazing iftar dinner, our big group felt really well taken care off and well fed. I personally loved the chicken leg, lamb roast and dessert platters. Highly recommend this place for a great meal with your family and friends.

    Large Mix Grill Platter
    Ramzi A.

    Very nice clean well lit place with Jordanian and Palestinian cultural atmosphere. The bread here is baked fresh daily by the owners themself. We were a group of 5 and ordered the large grill platter which serves about 4. The food was prepared and seasoned perfectly with more than large enough servings. The service was also spot on, with many floor servers to help with anything you need.

    I've been recommended this restaurant several times and I was so excited to finally try it. We got the family style meal with several types of meat, rice, bread, and salad. Every single item was delicious and well prepared. We also had a wonderful server who helped us choose from an array of delicious desserts. I'm excited to come back again!

    Beautiful restaurant!! And the best food. I really enjoyed the cheese and zataar manaeesh. The falafel was delicious. A little spicy, but amazing. The service was fast. I enjoyed the seating area and the servers were very nice.

    Desert options

    Taqwas is an amazing family oriented business. When you arrive you feel like your among family. The food selection is amazing and many vegetarian options as well. You're greeted by the owner and the staff. Every one is super polite friendly and great customer service .

    The food was delicious! The restaurant was gorgeous. We celebrated our daughter's birthday and ordered their Grilled Meat Platter. There was more than enough food for our family of four! They even surprised our daughter with a birthday dessert and Happy Birthday song. The dessert was delicious and we bought extra baklava to bring home. Great service and quick. Definitely returning! So glad we came here.

    I LOVE this restaurant! Just stopped in yesterday and brought home a family style meal for 7 of us!…read moreSuch a hit!! EVERYONE loved it. Al Bazzar is my go-to restaurant when I have to pick up friends and family from the airport. Staff is always friendly, food is delicious, and it is truly a treat!!

    Their new location is on S 13th Street, only a little ways from Layton. There are still lots of…read morepictures from their old location on Layton, but as of April 2025, they are inside Rayan Market & Restaurant, a Middle Eastern market (see pictures). It is a small family owned business, and mother cooks all the food. It's only been a month since they moved here from Layton, so they don't have a sign yet, but just go in to the Rayan super market, and navigate yourself to the back of the building. They do have a table off to the side inside the market if you're in a pinch and need to eat there, but I'd recommend taking the food to go. The family is friendly, and if you aren't too familiar with Mediterranean food, they will help you navigate their menu items. They have 2 types of rice. One is a smoked rice (first time I tried it, and it was good!), and the other one is cinnamon. I didn't care for the latter, but the smoked rice was delicious. I was only going to try a bite or two, but I ended up kicking myself off of keto and ate a whole bowl. Chicken special - with rice and salad Salad was a small portion of very fresh lettuce, tomato and cucumber in light oil dressing. Chicken was a bit dry for my taste. They did have the chicken in a warmer plate (like the buffet style) and it must have been sitting there a while. The flavors were good, but the dryness was disappointing. The menu says "half chicken", but we got 2 pieces of thigh+drum. In a way that's good, cuz any breast meat would have been so much more dry. Lamb special - with rice and salad We ordered the cinnamon rice for this dish and the smoked one for the chicken dish. Like I said, the smoked rice was better for my palate. The lamb was delicious. It was falling off the bones, but it wasn't dry. We got 3 large chunks of lamb with bone and one little piece boneless. In both plates, our server piled the rice so high! I hope they don't go out of business giving so much rice! But I'm not complaining. Overall, the meal was delicious and I would definitely go again. I'd love to try some of their appetizers and other meat items.

    4.5/5 stars Let me start by saying I have personal biases…read moreI'm battling here. I have newly moved to the Milwaukee area from Metro Detroit (home to the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East) and therefore not only did I grow up with great food our restaurant options have always been elite. If I seem nitpicky I'm sorry but let's get to it! I got the mixed grill plate, Turkish salad, and a lentil soup. Highlights: the shish tawook was perfect, juicy, not over cooked, the kafta loaded with flavors, the hummus was solid, I loved the bed of rice it was on, and the soup delicious... "so T, what happened to the half star?" This is where I might be overly critical... the chopped veggie salad was in dire need of salt, or consider dressing it with the jalapeño mix that was on the hummus. The Turkish salad put me in quite a conundrum... was it delicious? Oh hell ya, was it spicy? Yes (inject it my veins), so what's the issue? My issue here was just that it wasn't a salad. It was an excellent salsa, but I didn't have chips to eat it with and this isn't a "salad" you can eat by itself. If they had fried the Arabic bread and seasoned it like the fattoush chips and gave me a bag of it with the Turkish salad that might be the greatest combo known to Milwaukee. Finally, the only true criticism of this place, the beef kabobs... flavor was amazing, it was tender too but it was severely overcooked. I don't blame the restaurant because as an Lebanese person I grew up with way too many over cooked bbqs and aunts and uncles thinking red meat was blood despite eating kibbee nayee (beef tartar-Lebanese style) but if that had two minutes less on the grill it might have the holy grail of mixed grill plates. All of this to say I was very impressed, Milwaukee has some good spots and I wasn't sure what to expect when I moved here but this place does it for me, will probably make it a rotational spot

    They serve the best Middle Eastern food in the state! Not a sit down restaurant. Just take out…read more Amazing!

So, of course, we had to try a bunch of different items. All the dips, the topped hummus, baba ghanoush, and skillet tomatoes (forgot the name) were amazing! The hummus alone was so silky and smooth. The bread is super soft and fluffy; we had the flatbread with different toppings. Very good! My favorite was the za'atar one. We had something I've never had before called Stromboli (stuffed roll) with Akkawi white cheese, and it was my favorite. So, so good! And we can't forget the falafel, with the hummus and the fluffy bread, just goes together perfectly. Staff were all super informative and friendly.

We did a pick up tonight. Had we known it was so pretty, we probably would have made plans for a sit down dinner. Food is good and I'll get to it in a minute, but what truly stood out here was the service. There were two ladies serving/talking order, and both were over the top friendly, with beautiful smiles and super kind. Made whole experience stellar. Falafel One of the best I've had lately. It obviously just came out of the fryer and was so crispy on the outside and steaming delicious inside. Rice Rice is ok. Not the best. Beef Kafta Loved it! Meat was tasty and tender and yummy Baba ghannoug Pretty good - not the best I've had, but pretty up there Hummus I'm personally not a fan of hummus period. But hubby said it was good.
