Najwa’s Mediterranean Cuisine

Najwas is a wonderful, comfortable spot to come through for some hearty, tasty food. The fact that it's a combo restaurant with Angelos just makes the menu so incredibly broad. While I'll agree with others and say that the Angelos Spaghetti may not be the highlight, the sandwiches from that 'side' of the restaurant tend to be simple and filling. I do miss the 'salad bar' of accoutrements that the 'old' Angelos used to provide. With that said, the highlight of this place is Najwa's Mediterranean dishes. While a bit pricier than most counter-order style spaces, many of the dishes are quite reasonable. This particular visit my family and I picked out a bunch of the appetizers and sides to share. The lentil soup is a particular favorite. I don't know what illegal substance they sprinkle on the fried crunchy croutons adorning the soup, but I could eat a bucket full, and they add a wonderful crunch to the smooth lentil soup. The fried cauliflower florets were also a total hit at our table. The edges crispy, but not too greasy, and seasoned well, these were devoured quickly. The roasted broccoli florets with feta and lemon were a bit less of a hit. I think were they roasted much longer, with singed edges and a 'sauce' of feta and lemon added, they'd be better. They were still good dipped in the provided tahini sauce, but we probably wouldn't get them again. The schwarma fries with vegetarian chicken alternative meat were also tasty, although expensive. When are 'smothered and covered' friend-anything NOT tasty, though. Finally, we got a 'triple dip sampler' of hummus, baba ghanoush, and mutabal. The hummus, as has been mentioned over and over is top tier. Absolutely delicious. I personally very much enjoyed the baba ghanoush. The mutabal was a new flavor for me, but it was a fun taste to experiment with. All in all, this spot is a great place to grab a relatively quick, affordable bite and I recommend a visit. I do wish there was a bit more provided in the serving sizes for the price, but I still highly recommend this spot.

I dined here recently and have ordered takeout twice now (last year and this year). They have definitely stepped up the quality since last year on all fronts and I would 100% recommend Najwa’s! The dining experience was lovely. Order and pay at the front, then take a seat. The staff checked on us every now and then and seemed to really care about their job and about us as customers, which I highly appreciated and noticed. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and baba ghanoush (roasted eggplant) when I dined there, and both were excellent. I ordered the salmon plate, crispy cauliflower and trio sampler with takeout, and would definitely get the salmon plate again. I wasn’t personally a fan of the white dip in the sampler so I prefer to order the hummus and baba ghannoush separately.

The food was delicious, I got the chicken Shawarma plate. The portions are pretty big for the price. All the workers there were so nice. I left super happy with the service and with some leftovers.

Amazing food every time, I really love babaganoush, and theirs is amazing. I got the shwarap (schwarma wrap) with the soy beef schwarma, they have soy chicken and beef, and it was very tasty. The vegetables were very crisp and fresh. Also at the time of this posting they do not use soy in their falafel or their pita wraps.

Crispy cauliflower florets were yummy, chicken trip tip shwarma delicious
