Some of the best falafel I’ve ever had. Not dry! I loved the gyro salad as well. Their homemade tadziki is soooo tasty.

Mawadda’s menu has a range of classic Middle Eastern options. They label vegetarian options, but vegan options should be asked about. Generally, you can trust that their tahini sauce is vegan. I enjoyed a falafel sandwich and hummus plate during in a quiet, orderly atmosphere.Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian and vegan options. Things are well described and servers can speak to the ingredients of each dish and if it’s vegan or not.

Great dishes that are quite large and varied in protein selection and combination compared to other restaurants. Lovely staff provide great service and are very kind! Get the chai! It's spicy in the right ways and plentiful.Dietary restrictions: Halal

I do visit this restaurant often, the environment has changed over the past years. It’s clean and the food is tasty. I would 100% recommend giving this place a try! I recommend the Lamb Shank and salad.

I am a regular at this restaurant and i never had a problem but i had came in today and made eye contact with the boy working up front, he was on his computer with AirPods in and didn’t pay me no attention till i stood there for a couple mins and finally noticed me. Very rude customer service it is very shocking to see that i had to feel this type of way after going to my favorite restaurantfor the food i got a gyro sandwich/ plate the taste was not up to par

We really used to enjoy their chicken kabobs plate with rice & salad. However their prices have doubled after COVID. I understand the need, but DOUBLED?? It's too expensive for us on fixed income. I'm sure it's still delicious but it's the price I'm rating.

This is a solid 4 stars from my experience of eating a mixed vegetarian dish. I called it in and asked for a recommendation. I paid $20, including taxes & a very modest tip (dish was $17). The picture is of everything, just as I opened the bag. Salad was fresh - no blackened/decaying lettuce - clearly it was just prepared! ? The person answering the phone was very pleasant. The restaurant looked clean and neat, though I didn’t pay a lot of attention. I thought the food was something I’d order again and recommend to someone desiring this type. The 4 stars is only that I can’t give 4.5 and that it wasn’t exceptional. It was at least as I’d hoped and expected from the other reviews I read. It’s a good place to get a meal!Vegetarian options: I thought the samosas were quite tasty ?

What a joke! Only customer in the resturant waiting for my to go meal for over 30 minutes. Ordered 2 things with the owner of the company. He repeated it back to me and still got my order wrong. Way better places to order from in Burien than this.Stay away

I really enjoyed my meal at the Mawadda Cafe. I was a first time visitor and found the restaurant very clean and comfortable. My server made me feel welcome and at home. It's a popular place with lots of regulars. Looking for a vegetarian option, I ordered the falafel sandwich and a mango lassi, then I added the greek fries. Oh my God. They make the "best fries" I have ever eaten. Along with the sandwich and the lassi, I was very satisfied. I will definitely return if and when I'm in the area.
