" My friends and I had a great time at Kawalees during one of their themed nights. The service was very attentive, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. I loved the selection of authentic Middle Eastern dishes and felt the flavors really stood out. The only downside was the price match up with the portion sizes - I’d love a little more for my money! Still, the overall atmosphere and engaging events made for an unforgettable evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kawalees is an amazing restaurant for those who appreciate authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. I was really blown away by the variety and richness of flavors in the dishes, particularly their dips. The place also has a vibrant atmosphere, and it really feels like a community space. The staff were all extremely friendly, making me feel right at home. One note, I would love to see larger portion sizes for the price, but the experience left a lasting impression on me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Kawalees and it was such an incredible experience! The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, and the live performances added a special touch to the night. I shared a number of dishes with friends, including the kibbeh and falafel, and found them both to be bursting with flavor. The staff was attentive and made our evening special with their hospitality. However, if you're looking for large portions, you might feel a bit underwhelmed, but the quality of food makes it worth it. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I visit Kawalees, I am amazed by the friendly atmosphere and the welcoming staff. It feels more like a gathering place than just a restaurant. I tasted their traditional Syrian dishes and was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity and attention to detail in each plate. The spicy potatoes and the fatayer were my favorites! Every time I’m there, I see a diverse group of people enjoying the entertainment and food. I highly recommend visiting Kawalees to anyone searching for great food and a cultural vibe. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kawalees is a lovely combination of taste and atmosphere. The decor is vibrant, and the events that happen here give it character. I went during a live music night and had such a fun time! The food was delectable, and I particularly loved the fresh salads. The service was prompt and accommodating. I feel like I could visit every week and still find something new to try. I do wish the portion sizes were slightly larger, but overall a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kawalees is a hidden gem! Walking into this basement restaurant, I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a unique decor that reflects Middle Eastern culture. I opted for the za’atar flatbread, which was served fresh and was delicious. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. My only complaint was that some dishes took a bit longer to serve, but the food was worth the wait. I could see myself returning here frequently for their live shows as well. A fantastic place for cultural immersion and great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in the Middle East, I can honestly say that Kawalees captures the essence of authenticity. The food is prepared with genuine flavors and attention to detail that truly reflects the culture. My experience was complemented by the engaging atmosphere and the friendly staff. I tried their mixed platter, which gave me a great variety of tastes, although I felt the price was slightly on the higher side for the portion. Overall, it’s a lovely venue that I highly recommend to anyone interested in Middle Eastern cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
