Excellent experience! Service was stellar our server was friendly and sparked great conversation. The food was very flavorful and clearly made with high quality ingredients. Their menu was diverse and had new dishes that I’d never seen before. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. The mint lemonade smoothie is a must!! They had vegan kibbeh and vegan baklava that was delicious! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Sawa.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan options! Including vegan kibbeh and baklava!
I am going to comeback.The food was excellent with a special taste for the olive oil in the hummus

Pita bread was more like tortillas, my husband order the filet mignon kabobs, and they were burnt and tough, and although I liked the chicken kabobs my rice was extremely spicy.Husband loved the hummus, but it's the only thing he liked.Service was actually pretty great, the girl who was our waitress was really nice and explained what each thing on was on the appetizer plate.We won't be coming back

Me and my boyfriend just discovered this hidden gem. The server is a total people person , the food is FANTASTIC (I reccomend the sampler platter) and the environment is so cozy and laid back. It’s also so cheap unlike majority of the restraunts in the area 10/10

Visited this spot today for the first time on our way to theatre in Clear Lake. Viewing from the outside, the place didn’t look too impressive but I’m so glad we went in anyway. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The house salads were fresh and the ingredients were perfection. We tried the Turkish coffee - so good. Abdulsalam waited on us - he was excellent. He offered to assist us with the Turkish coffee since he could tell this was our first experience with it. He took his time to explain how it was prepared - he was great. The fried cauliflower was wonderful. We shared the kababs - yummy! Overall, highly recommend this spot for Mediterranean flare - we will definitely return.

This place is perfect. The food is fresh and great. The person I spoke to working here was very polite and friendly. I feel like I should have paid double what I did pay. It's very affordable.

Absolutely the best hummus, I have ever had. And I make my own and it was so much smoother than mine. Dolmas was perfect, not overly stuffed. All the food I got was great, daughter loves falafel, said it was the best she ever had. Food was authentic.Vegetarian options: I had the Greek salad and the potion was large for me. It made 2 meals.
The best Lebanese food I have had thus far since moving to Houston! Great staff and great food!

Found this spot on the way home from the Dickens on the Strand festival! So great! The inside is not fancy, but the food is fantastic. Tastes fresh and delicious. Would recommend trying the cauliflower and sample platter ❤️
