" While I can't complain about the food at Mashawi Grill, it did take a while for it to arrive, which tested my patience. However, when it did come, the grilled fish was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I will say the restaurant has a cozy vibe, making the wait somewhat bearable. Overall, I might give them another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm quite particular about my Middle Eastern food, and Mashawi Grill did not disappoint! The grilled chicken kebabs were bursting with flavor — you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients used. The service was a bit slow on a busy Saturday night, but the friendly staff made up for it. I'll definitely return to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
