"This was our first time at Sawa, and we enjoyed everything. We had a group of 10, and everyone enjoyed their dish. The service from our server and the entire staff was excellent. The belly dancers were fun to watch, and the environment was very lively. Our only hiccup was that it was very hot outside, and our section didn't have a fan. Other than that, we have no complaints, and will definitely be going back."

"Appetizers were bland and not very inventive as the fried calamari was similar to a rubber bands. Pita served with the hummus appetizer not grilled or heated and tough to chew. Kebobs were tasty though...
Service was attentive and profesional.

"It was ok. The food was also ok. We were not able to sit outside due to the rain so that may have changed the rating for the ambiance but everything else was ok. I dont think I will go back anytime soon."
