We stopped to eat while in town for a concert. We were a little concerned about being about to pronounce things on the menu and figure what we’d like but the waitstaff was absolutely fantastic and friendly. We started with hummus and their naan bread and it was amazing. The presentation of the hummus plate was so cool! The mixed grill was recommended and it was fantastic. We also got the Mansaf and it was fantastic. The broth was so good we wish they would give us the recipe :) For desert we got a cream cheese stuffed flaky croissant called a Fatayer and pistachio Baklava - both very good! We highly recommend this place and would be back

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This Mediterranean restaurant offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with food that clearly reflects care and tradition. The fatayer and manakish were absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly baked. The hummus was smooth and rich, and the baklava was a standout, with just the right balance of sweetness and crunch. The meat platter was generous, though the chicken was a bit dry compared to the rest of the dishes. That said, the overall experience was very enjoyable, and the prices were fair for the quality and portion sizes. A great spot for authentic Mediterranean flavors, especially if you’re there for the breads, spreads, and desserts.

First and foremost, highly recommend Taqwah’s bakery. The staff is the best, food is fresh and delicious, and atmosphere was pleasant. While this is my first visit here, I really enjoyed the wide variety of food that they had to offer. Arabian stuffed grape leaves, assortments of rice, chicken, salads, lamb, and other garnishes. After dinner they had coffee, pastries, fruits, and other delights. Also a smaller prayer area to pray at.
