It's always hard to figure out where to eat when you're new in town and have cravings for good food. This was the case in my scenario: being the nomad that I am, I moved into Phoenix for a short while and was looking for a place that served authentic Mediterranean food the other day. I ran across Mashawi Lebanese Grill using Yelp and I was SO GLAD I did because this place is such a GEM when it came to real authentic cuisine.
I ordered the Mezza Combo and Meat Shawarma Sandwich with Fries, and every thing was made beyond my expectations. Like, yeah, I did read Yelp reviews so I knew it was gonna be good, but certain things was just like some other Yelpers described: the soft, warm pita bread went so well with the flavorful hummus, tabbouleh and baba ghanouj, and the shawarma sandwich was perfectly spiced, with the meat tender and well cooked. Even the fries were awesome, seasoned uniquely with (I think) paprika.
This place is now definitely on my list of favorite restaurants to eat here in Phoenix - can't wait to visit again! :)
