We're visiting the area and looking for a spot for lunch and decided to stop in at Mashawy and were so glad we did! We shared the Mixed Appetizer for Two and the Mixed Grilled Platter, and everything was excellent. The appetizer had two of each falafel, sambousa, and grape leaves—fresh, crispy, and well-seasoned across the board. The grape leaves were perfectly cooked and so tasty! The mixed grill was the highlight: shish kabob, kafta kabob, chicken kabob, and 2 lamb chops, all perfectly grilled and flavorful. Our favorite was the kafta and the beef. It came with basmati rice, fattoush, and hummus, which were just as good as the mains. Portions were generous and great for sharing. Solid Mediterranean food, cooked well and served fresh. If we were locals, this place would definitely be on our usual rotation. Service was wonderful and got to meet the chef!

All I can say is "WOW". We're full time travelers in the area at the Caverns. A must visit of in the area. I am not a lamb person. But the menu pictures sucked me in to try. Was not disappointed. Were so tender and delicious. Even the rice under it was great. Can't forget the awesome Hummus. They greeted us at the door. Felt like a great family welcome. Had great entertainment that was playing. Kirsten our waitress was great. She was so personable. The restaurant was beautiful and clean. We will be back today for the gyro for lunch. ☺️ if in the area. This place will not disappoint. Great reasonable prices.

Locally owned restaurant serving delicious, uniquely seasoned food. Beautiful, calm interior with peaceful music. The beef shish kabob platter, and lentil soup were fresh and flavorful. Server was sweet and attentive. Varied menu with plenty of options for adventurous and non adventurous diners. Conveniently located near Florida Caverns state park. If you're visiting the park, you must try this place.

I’ve been to a LOT of Turkish/Mediterranean restaurants and this place surprised me. It was great! The appetizers were amazing (especially the sombousas). I don’t typically like grape leaves but these guys were wonderful! Soft, silky and perfectly seasoned. For entree I ordered lamp chops. The flavor was great. The chop size was adequate for lamp chops. However my wife ordered the snapper glabah and that was something special!!! Next up: desserts!! 100% get the Nadya!!! Simple but delicious! The Baglava wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but only because it was hard to cut into pieces.
