Reviews of Taqwas Bakery and Restaurant
Teaching Channel
We’ve eaten at many different Arab restaurants and this was the BEST food and ambiance. Everything is made so fresh and delicious. The portions are also very generous. We got the mixed grill platter but dove right in and I forgot to take a pic first! The presentation is also 10/10 and just the whole vibe of the place is very authentic and fun. There’s a whole area for photo ops that is a very cool experience to take guests. We will definitely be back whenever we visit Milwaukee!

My go to for delicious & fresh middle eastern food in Milwaukee. Sorta pricy and you can’t be in a rush because you’ll have to wait for your food…but that’s the price you pay for the quality. They bake a lot of the breads fresh.
This is a great choice for Arabs that have high pallet standards and those simply on a hunt for a delicious meal. I love their breakfast spreads, tea and mint & lemon smoothie.
I actually hosted my birthday there last year. They were so accommodating and actually helped my friend with her dead car battery in the snow. Great owners!

I am glad to find this restaurant. From start to end, it was a great dining experience. Such a clean and authentic decor welcomes you. Our server was very polite and attentive. Everything we ordered were amazing, fresh from the oven, and delicious. People who live in Milwaukee are very lucky to have this restaurant, I hope they know its value.
Jose Koenig
Food is great. Bread is made fresh too. The only place I know that make Turkish coffee. The seasoning and flavors are superb. The waitress was a bit novice and took a bit longer than she should to check on us or forgot to bring a thing or two. They also did not have all the pastries they offer in the menu; perhaps they are now focused on a narrow list but hard to tell. Overall we enjoyed the food and the ambience. We recommend this place to anyone.

I am from New York City and we were passing by Milwaukee and found this place on Google. I can tell you this is an hidden gem! Dining room is very clean, staff are friendly but inexperienced -this is understandable because nobody wants to work in these days and kudos to these girls they choose to contribute-
We were two people and ordered just appetizers, little bit of everything. There is a chicken dish comes with stuffed grape leaves but I asked without chicken :) they said it’s okay. Soup and other appetizers were delicious too. I am Turkish and love tea after a good meal. They serve different than our style but still delicious. I strongly recommend this place. Do not afraid to try by looking some of the bad reviews (yes, I read all of them) most of them don’t know how restaurants work in US and some of them expect supermarket price for a service plus meal! Ignore them, try this place.
Nicholas Hoppenrath
All I can say is wow! This is such a fantastic hidden jem of the South side. The meat in the dishes was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were so fresh and flavorful. And the hummus... oh man the hummus was so smooth and creamy that we almost made that into a meal on its own. The staff is mostly kids but are so attentive and professional that most restaurants should send their staff to see how they should conduct themselves with customers. You now have a new set of devoted customers that will be returning for years to come as long as this type of experience continues to be the norm.
Eva Jacobson
Taqwas was not just a dinner it was an experience!! Beautiful environment & the food kept coming! The staff makes you feel at home & is extremely kind & attentive. Loved getting to enjoy this fantastic cuisine, culture, & will definitely be back! We loved it! Thank you!
Dan Profio
Food here is great but it's a little inconsistent and the servers don't seem to care that much. In an empty restaurant, I waited 20+ minutes for food and our appetizers + meal came out at the exact same time. Both hostesses we're sitting on their phones before one of the girls was like "your table is ready" and they finally brought it out. They have a few things to work on, but overall this is one of the best Arabic restaurants in Wisconsin period.
Ricardo Martin
Pleasantly surprised by this place. Was curious finally went in. Everything looked clean and the staff was helpful and polite. Tried the coffee and a few other things. I enjoyed everything I ordered. Looking forward to returning.
Vanessa Sparks
Excellent food and amazing atmosphere. We loved the appetizers- don't skip it! Our waitress Rahaf was amazing 👏
Jeremy Spears
Delicious food and great service. The mixed grill plate has wonderfully seasoned meats that are so tender. Really enjoyed the Turkish coffee.
Joyce
This place is absolutely out of this world!!! From the ambiance to service to food, everything was perfect! We ordered probably half of the menu and managed to scarf it down because it was simply too delicious.
The highlights, personally, were the kibbeh, cheese & za’atar manakish, and the ground beef pies.
Additionally, the service was awesome. So welcoming and warm, I couldn’t recommend this place any more!
Leland Pan
Excellent and underrated spot on the far south side for Middle Eastern food. Pretty laid back and good for takeout or a bougie but affordable sit down experience, whatever you prefer. Owners seem to be pretty involved in the Milwaukee Muslim community as well, participating in things like Halal Restaurant Week. I recommend the coffee and either of the featured entrees. Pictured is the mosakhan.
D Me
The pita appetizer was excellent. Grape leaves were tender but cooked in too much lemon. Dessert of pistachios on semolina cake was great.
Kevin Belfield (Kev007)
This restaurant is everything and more. Come with an empty stomach to fully appreciate the experience. Baklava is superb. All food is fresh and unbelievable. Music, culture and atmosphere is authentic. Service is genuine and caring.
A M
This was an amazing find! Pita bread with olive oil and spice mixture was heaven. I loved the beef cubes kabob. The decor is beautiful. We took home some hareeseh and it is so good.
Karen F
Best. Food. Ever. Don't start with the spinach Fatayer pie, but do not leave without having one. Lentil soup (w/squeeze of fresh lemon) - so good.and the breads! Freshly made. The falafel has a brightness and lightness to it that mine do not have (yet!) Even the most humble of their menu offerings are elevated and are incredibly good. Everything they offer is going to stand out and I cannot wait to get back to Milwaukee to try more.
Ashley Hietpas
Don't let the modest exterior fool you. The dining room is so cute and the host/server was very nice. Hands down the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had. I've gotten taken out before but in person it was twice as good!
Justin Vang
The food, atmosphere, staff, and prices were all superb. I will definitely be coming back.
Theresa Cafaro
Amazing food and portion sizes. Beautiful presentation and great atmosphere. These days it is hard to find good service but Muhammad Manasrah made sure to suggest the best options for us. Impeccable. Great prices and we even ordered the pies to go even tho we were full. Go!
Reginald Jones
Everyone out there who eats and that's ALL of you, hurry up and make your way to this fine establishment! You will feel like being another step closer to heaven and that's a wonderful place to be!
The atmosphere is second to none; the welcoming warmth is stronger than your mother's embrace! Think I'm joking?! Get there and experience it for yourself, you will NOT be disappointed!
Shirah Rachel Apple
I have both eaten in the restaurant and had them cater and had great experiences both times. With catering the food was delivered fresh and hot on time and placed where I wanted it. The driver was courteous and helpful. Many of my guests commented on how fabulous the food was and I agree— The meat was grilled to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The baba ghanouj was smoky and well seasoned, the hummus was smooth and garlicky, and salads were excellent, the bread was so fresh— all of the 100 grape leaves in the order got devoured. We had ample quantities for that many people with two orders of the extra large grill and an order of grape leaves. Thank you Taqwas for helping making my party a success.
Mr k (Ed)
Decent food. Slow but friendly service. I love there tabon bread. I loved there fatyer they are nice and soft and fluffier
Christine Noelle
Absolutely loved dining here!
It looks so unassuming from the outside, but when you step in, everything is beautiful! They did a great job setting up the atmosphere with the decor.
All of the food we got was delicious! Very flavorful hummus with lots of herbs and some spicy & tangy sauce garnishes. Drinks were good, my friend got a Turkish coffee which came in a very cute presentation, and mint lemonade smoothie was delicious. Our entrees came on massive platters, providing us with enough extra food to take home for a whole second meal.
Waitstaff were also very nice, gave us his recommendations on side salad options and appetizers which was helpful. Perfectly attentive...needs were always met but not annoying being around the whole time.
Only criticism I have for the whole place is it would be nice to have real glasses and not red plastic cups. They stuck out like a sore thumb with the rest of the place being so nicely set up and decorated and the rest of the food presentation.
Marilee G
I've been to Jordan and loved their flavors. This place has lovely, authentic flavors and decor. Today I did not have a full meal, so my rating is limited to dessert. I ordered the Pistachio Baklava. Oh my, it was SO good. Not that sickeningly sweet kind one finds most places. The owner said it's flavors were "balanced" and that was it. I will go back to try more meals. Treat yourself. The coffee is really good...
Dito Mathews
This is my second visit to this restaurant on a Sunday evening for dinner. Food was good, but the service was slow. They said the items will take 30 mins. But this is in spite of just our group of 6 alone present in the entire restaurant. The two items we wanted from the menu wasn't available. The mint tea pot we ordered was never received. We did remind her when we got the entrees. But finally she came back saying kitchen is closed. And while billing, the lady billed the mint tea pot we had not received and also a sauce extra. We noticed it after we paid, so the lady asked us to get some sweets for that price as she cannot refund the amount.

Ordered Chicken Tenders , Mixed platter grill & falafel; was plenty for 2 Adults & 2 kids. Taste was just a OK.

Mixed platter grill & falafel are Descent options.
Falafel was really good.
Eric
Going to dream about the Mosakhan or the outstanding fresh baked deserts we took home and devoured
sudipta sen
This is one of the best meditation resturants I am visited so far. The ambient is great, the food is even better. We ordered the large mixed grill platter and it was too much for 4 people. I think 6 people can easily eat it. The quality is good. The price is very reasonable. Also the Bekary is also fresh. Overall a great great place to dine in or take out. One small suggestion to the owner, when you are serving large portions of food like meat, try to place ot over something hot. Because, once it is cold, it does not taste that good.
Chris Guido
So here’s the thing. We ordered a bunch of food. There wasn’t a single thing that wasn’t amazing.
The food is superb, the staff was really nice and the interior is really cool.
I would recommend this place to everybody. So flavorful
Mary Netzinger
Awesome experience thanks to Roza. Food delicious. Expand your horizons & your taste buds. Great atmosphere (& clean!) Oh did I mention homemade baklava. Support small
Michael Aronow
This was our second time dining at Taqwas and the food was just as great as the first time. If you enjoy Arab dining, you'll love Taqwas. And their brick oven baked bread is AMAZING
Farhana Haque
This is our first time here. Did pick up. Ordered Mosakkhan, mixed grill platter with fattoush salad and baklava. Overall taste of the items is average but their meat felt fresh. Mosakkhan chicken was bland but the caramelized onion topped bread was full of flavors. Wrapped together with the tziki sauce it tasted good. All the kababs of the mixed grill platter tasted ok, had better in other places. Baklava was great, no overwhelming rose water syrup.
I guess they are more of a bakery and breakfast/brunch kind of place. Their interior is very beautiful. I'll come again to dine in once the pandemic is over. I'll go for the light orders next time.
John Mesch
Really good and authentic Middle Eastern food. Dope af waitstaff that comes by frequently to make sure all your needs are met.
Josh Adams
Amazing!!! Can’t wait to get back. Had a late lunch here and the food was incredible. The most tender and juicy kabab around. Wesan took great care of us and made some great recommendations. i’d give them 6 stars if i could.
peyt black
Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in (MKE). The service was unmatched. OUR amazing server was Roza she truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in (MKE). Highly recommend!
Rob Knight
Discovered this gem while getting my car serviced at Schlossman Subaru across the street. Amazing food and service!!
Update 12/7/2022: This place is still amazing—great food, atmosphere, and service, especially Roza 😊
Mike H.
So so so good! The decor is wonderful. We had the breakfast platter and turkish coffee and mint tea. We took home some of the fresh bread it's so delicious. They have a wide menu and some really helpful staff. Can't wait to go back.
Vivian
Everything was delicious! The spinach and cheese fatayer was soooo good! (Highly recommend the spinach one for the flavor 😋) We also had the Mosakhan and that was enough to feed my bf and I!! Worth the $13 and you get a ton of chicken! After leaving, we realized they have a drive-thru . Will come back. Fast and attentive service :) …
Mark Silverman
The food, atmosphere and service was excellent for our party of seven, tonight! Found plenty of vegan options. Can't wait to dine there again! (Our server was Roza).
Jay Stevenson
Great food, great atmosphere, and very friendly service! Prices are good too. I'll definitely be going back
Hirak Patel
This was our first time visiting Taqwa's Bakery & Restaurant. Before we sat down at our table, we immediately noticed the beautiful decor and Middle Eastern music. We ordered the cheese & zaatar manakish, hummus, baba ghannouj, mthawwamih, falafel, and fried mediterranean cheese. For drinks, we had the Turkish coffee and laban ayran (yogurt drink). The food was fabulous. The bread was freshly baked in their stone oven. The dishes were authentic and flavorful. The restaurant was quite busy but the service was prompt. We will certainly be back!
Andrew Braun
Delicious food and wonderful service. Our server Rosa was super friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back!
emilia kruzel
What an incredible restaurant. Hands down, this is the best dining experience I've had in Wisconsin in at least a year. The falafel and hummus were perfection, and the freshly made bread is nothing short of divine. Such incredible food was only surpassed by the warm and loving hospitality; lunch here reminded me what I love about restaurants (and what's i've been missing during social isolation).
Long live Taqwas. I'll certainly be back.
Marlou Kelly
First time to try this little gem, unnoticed for quite some time. Did not disappoint with their food, price and service. Roza was very nice and pleasant. Will choose Taqwa’s anytime over the expensive place that’s down the street!
Ibrahim Abu-Arqoub
Brand new middle eastern restaurant. Their bakery is out of this world, delicious BBQ and mouth watering appetizers. The decoration is authentic and the people are so friendly. I can’t skip mentioning that their prices are very reasonable.
Chuckles
The food was amazing, as well as the atmosphere. Rosa radiated a positive energy and was very helpful the entire time.
Sara Wong
So good this is our second visit in one week! We still have several items on the menu we'd like to try. Order the dawalee! The baba ganouj is smoky and delicious. The kibbeh is flavorfully seasoned. Don't miss the delightful desserts. The bread and accompanying seasonings are irresistible.
Feedback YouDeserve
Beautifully decorated restaurant with delicious, authentic middle-eastern food. I came with my family and ordered the large platter that serves 8-10 people. The meat was plenty, and so tender and juicy. The rice was light and fluffy. The platter came with 2 plates of hummus, 2 baba ghanouj and 2 salads. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our server kept returning with freshly baked bread, which was really appreciated. From the atmosphere to the service, to the food, Taqwa’s restaurant provides an excellent experience!
Vin Sparks
Probably one of the best middle eastern restaurants in the city.
The staff was very accommodating of our party of 11, the service was great, and the food was over-the-top good. Our group ordered appetizers, salads, kabobs, and an assortment of other entrées and we sampled each other's dishes. This is probably one of the best middle eastern restaurants in the city. I highly recommend it.
Miriam Brabham
The most amazing food! The hardest part is deciding what you want, everything is so tasty, busrting with flavor!!! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, just a great place!!!!
Lula Talula
So glad I chose this spot for some lentil soup. Ended up getting spinach pie as well and was amazed at the flavor & texture of the pie so much so I did a U turn for 8 more pies and 3 more lentil soups along with their Zaatar, currently waiting for them lol can’t wait to try the Zaatar w/ cheese. Beautiful restaurant & very kind employees. Was a very pleasant experience.
Highly recommended.g

Great tasting food and great atmosphere.Our waitresses Roza was very helpful in helping us with the menu.
Katharine Brejcha
Hands down amazing. We ordered dinner from here for our son's family birthday party with a ton of adults. Taqwa was amazing helping me select the right food, quantities and to stay within my budget. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew the food was going to be great. I was blown away! Taqwa's husband Abdullah delivered directly to our house (for a small fee) and helped set everything up. He was so kind. As he kept lifting up the lids on all the trays each item was more beautiful than the next! The hummus looked like a masterpiece! Everyone at our party could not stop talking about the food, they all had seconds and thirds! They thought it was incredible. There is not a lot of food like this in the area and this is a place we will keep coming back to and ordering from. Taqwa, her family and her business went the extra mile for us. I can't say enough great things! Thank you Taqwa!
dave warner
Had take out twice. Can't wait to come dine in! Great bakery, great food, great prices!!! Come try it!!!!
Eileen Harrington
We live in Madison, WI and sought out a Middle Eastern restaurant on a recent trip to Ikea in Oak Creek. We wanted a restaurant that also has a bakery serving particular favorites z'aatar bread and fatayer (both spinach and meat). Taqwas did not disappoint! Even though we arrived after the bread oven was closed down (it operates for breakfast and early lunch - 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.) the owner, upon learning that we'd come from out of town hoping to have some z'aatar bread right from the oven, restarted the oven and prepared a generous order for us. Delicious! The fatayer were similarly wonderful. We also ordered shish tawouk as a wrap and the house speciality dish of a half chicken served on a piece of fresh pita covered with onions and lemon juice. While waiting for our baked items, we had bowls of the wonderful house lentil soup. Everything we ate at the restaurant and brought home to enjoy later was first rate. The staff of the restaurant, and the owner, are lovely people, very friendly and as is obvious willing to go the extra mile to take care of customers. We will make Taqwas a regular stop - it's not much more than an hour from Madison, and it's well worth the drive.
Vanesa Limberatos
Food is delicious. Service less to be desired. Forgot appetizer and brought half order when it we broughr to her attention at the end of our meal. Had to flag down for drink refillls.
Curt Bennett
So the obvious and most important thing is that the food is amazing. I'm actually not the biggest fan of Middle Eastern food though I do enjoy it time to time just because the flavors aren't usually Hardy enough for me. But these dishes seem to have just a little bit more pop and seasoning to where I find the perfect and the people that were with us with a more traditional palette enjoyed just as equally.
Good night that we arrived they were not planning for as busy as they were. It was evident that they had to call in another server as every table ended up occupied. Everyone worked hard was continually courteous and got things out and worked with all of us.
Even with they are being overwhelmed it was an amazing experience where they bend over backwards to make sure that everyone left satisfied.
I am now craving the next time I can go back!
Hasan BK
Very very good and authentic! Always puts a smile on my face and brings me back to the Middle East 😊 very welcoming staff
Heba Mohammad
This restaurant has the nicest staff and great food. The menu isn't too large: they offer all the classic Levantine foods and make them well. It's reasonably priced, they have a beautifully decorated interior, and outdoor seating is available in warm weather. If you're looking for delicious Arab food accompanied by unmatched Arab hospitality, you'll find it here.
Annika Morrison
My favorite middle eastern restaurant in Madison closed several years ago due to housing development and my heart was broken because of it - I spent a lot of time there enjoying everything on their menu. After several less than stellar experiences elsewhere when trying to find a place that matched the restaurant I was so in love with, I was hesitant to try Taqwas; however, the food, vibe, authenticity, and service were phenomenal. My husband and I stopped on our way to a week getaway for our wedding anniversary and we talked about how incredible the food was the entire week; it was so good that we made the decision to stop back again on our way home. We don't venture to Milwaukee often but we certainly will now. Taqwas has shot up to top three in my favorite restaurants. What an absolute gem of a place!
K S
Definitely a spot you MUST try. I've never been disappointed, only extremely full because this food makes you not want to leave one morsel behind.
kevinyovng
The best middle eastern restaurant in the area in my opinion. Fair prices, and good quality, fresh products. Great customer service as well, Rahaf our server was very professional and receptive to our needs! Highly recommend. Very clean.
Patrick O. Ryan
Warm and welcoming. Extensive menu. 5-star service. "Authentic & Fresh", just like their tagline!
Ed Schmitt
The food and atmosphere were great, and our server Rahaf was delightful. She helped make our first experience at Taqwa very enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Mohamud Abdi
I liked their food, I tried their mix grill and it was good. I will be going back to try something else.
Diane Kowalski
The food is excellent and the servers are very friendly and nice. Lamb chops melt in your mouth. Kabobs are nicely seasoned.
Edward Wire (Eddie Wire)
AMAZING middle eastern food. The best in Milwaukee. This is the place you want to be. We loved every dish and the ambience was great.
Jenni Gard
Great service. Great presentation. Great food. Portions are large and everything is made in-house.
The baklava is a MUST try. We even took a tray to go.
manda braun
Great atmosphere #1!! Very authentic, clean, kind people... love this place!!!💗💗💗 our waiter roza was the best ever …
Nashwan Al Shargabi
The place is amazing, super clean and so nice. Staff are very polite and acting very professional. The food was so so delicious. They deserve the 5 stars and more.
Taylor Anglin
The lentil soup was amazing!
Zulf Shariff
Good kabobs, nice bakery bread. Like the grill tomato and onion as side accompaniment to entree dishes. Little pricy
Mike “MikeMmmm” Mmmm
The rice was very good. The chicken kabob was very tasty and moist. The steak kabob was seasoned perfectly and had good char for flavor but was just slightly overcooked for my taste. Still, it was very satisfying. The seasoned ground beef kabob was ok flavor wise but was very dry. The salad was fresh and had a good mix of veggies but I didn't care for the dressing. It was a little too tart or sour for my taste. The spinach pie was cooked just right but again tasted a little too tart/sour and too many onions for my taste. The ambiance was GREAT! I loved the decorations and the music playing. I would love to come here with a group of friends whenever this CoVid situation is resolved. No matter what I will come back even just for takeout.
Brad Gray
1st time visiting. Food was amazing! I cant wait to visit again.
craig loomis
wonderful staff. Ask for the local favorites, the flat bread meals are delicious!
Jose Estrada
Just ate here for the first time. Our server Rahaf was very polite and welcoming. The food was so good, too. I am appreciative of the service. A very pleasant experience.
Michael Tokarz
Food was very, very good. Mixed meat platter was very satisfying. Service was lacking, which holds them back but I would still come back with how good the food was. Best tahini salad I've had so far.
Amy Hundley
Stopped here because we heard good things from a Milwaukee Foodie group and we were in the area and it did not disappoint! The flavors are phenomenal. We tried the Mixed Grill Platter and the Dawalee. Both portions were huge. I think the Kufta Kabob is the best I've ever eaten. The beef & chicken kabob was also very good. Make sure you get the garlic sauce and hot sauce. I'll be back soon! :)
Ashley M
First time trying. Everything tasted good (especially the steak) but the prices were raised too high for the portions given. A $7 side salad came in a tiny container. Plus they did not allow me to buy bread to go even though bakery is in their name. Likely will not return.
Christopher Chan
My partner and I went there tonight just on a whim after seeing the name while driving past and wow am I glad we did. First, they were nice enough to stay open for us as they were closing down a little early tonight so huge points for that. The décor is beautiful. They managed to take a standard strip-mall type building and create a beautiful interior that stands out. The server was very friendly and also very helpful in identifying menu items that met dietary and allergy needs.
As far as food goes...
Zeit and Zaatar Manakish: The flatbread was fantastic as was the olive oil. The spice mixture was tasty, but didn't 'wow' me. That's not a commentary on the quality, it just didn't make me scream with joy.
Falafel: HOLY GOD THESE WERE DELICIOUS! Not much more to say on that. :)
Kufta Kabob Platter: First off, this comes on a huge platter of rice along with the kabob components so come hungry. The kufta was very well spiced and quite delicious. Even the rice and grilled veggies (onion, pepper, tomato) were extremely good and had that great char flavor. The entre also comes with a choice of one of their salad options. I went with the tabbouleh myself which was fresh and vibrant.
The pricing was about average for what you'd expect to pay for dinner these days. For two kabob platters, an order of falafel (6), and two drinks it was about $45 + tip. I very much highly recommend popping by just for the experience of the décor, but they do also have an external carry-out window and delivery through the usual services.
We're both super happy with our experience and will definitely be going back.
Hanan Zayed
Great middle eastern food with generous portions. I’m a big fan of the dawali, but everything I’ve tried there has been delicious. We love getting her spinach pies and manakeesh for breakfast as well. It has a homey outdoor space that was nice in the warmer months. The decor inside is super cute and there’s a seating area for pictures as well.
Rob Barrett
Very nice place that serves the freshest bread. Always order a second order right away...lol
Brunilda Gjylameti
Great and delicious breakfast. Great service and very clean. Highly recommend!
Margie Castillo
We eat here regularly because the food is delicious. The mixed grill is tender and juicy! The best! Mohammed and Nabaa were very nice and hard working. We did not wait long for our food!
Jamie McCartney
I am currently eating food from Taqwa's food at a conference. It is FANTASTIC! Absolutely wonderful food. I would encourage you to give it a shot if you're considering. You will NOT be disappointed. My only disappointment is that I am not from this state and won't be able to have it unless I come back to Wisconsin!
Larry Jost
We had a group of 4 go for brunch. The falafel was fantastic, bread great, hummus, cheeses, serving sizes were all great for very moderate price. Our server was helpful and friendly. This restaurant is highly recommended for fresh and authentic food!
Lambo
Wow. This place is so clean inside and out. It looks newly remodeled and the atmosphere is very cultural. We have been here 3 times now and not once were we disappointed. We had the Large Mix Grill which is about 3-4 servings of food. It was nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. Bread is baked fresh daily there in a stone oven by Abdul. Stop in and give them a try, you will not regret it.
Natalie
Taqwas has a wonderful variety of delicious foods. Their meals are great as takeout or for dine-in and the outdoor patio is really lovely and comfortable. The portions are super generous and it is hard to recommend any particular dish because everything is fantastic!
Ed Sahagian-Allsopp
This is my new favorite place to eat. Everything about it is top notch.
Yeng Been
I had a really great time at the restaurant. The food was amazing, there was so much flavor in the meat. Their kibbeh is super good. It’s like heaven in my mouth. The service was amazing too. I had a young man wait my table, and he was super nice. He had some good jokes too. He would help me out and was super patient with me and my curiosity with the middle eastern food. There was also this very nice bald man who would work at the bakery area with all the bread. Turns out, their bread is fully made from scratch, and it’s their own recipe. And let me tell you this, the bread, it’s extraordinary. It tasted amazing with the appetizers they gave us in the beginning. I will definitely be back and bring family and friends next time. I felt really comfortable and welcome in their restaurant. It was actually very homey and beautiful.

Wow! What a great place to open up on the south side. By far the best middle eastern food in the area. My husband picked this restaurant out of nowhere because he had noticed it while driving down S. 27th St. and curiosity won the best of him and I am so glad it did! We had a late dinner and when we walked in we were immediately greeted by our waitress and shown to our booth. The restaurant is beautiful they truly did an amazing job transforming it from a cookie cutter fast food space to a middle eastern oasis. Once we took a seat first thing they brought out was a delicious fire oven in house made middle eastern bread with dipping oil and spice blend which was a pleasant surprise. We ordered Babaganoush as an appetizer and you could tell the freshness of the ingredients used to make the dip. My husband ordered Shishkabobs and I ordered lamb chops. Both dishes were made with fresh ingredients which enhanced their flavor and showcased the spices and marinades of the traditional middle eastern cuisine and were accompanied by rice. The rice was outstanding and complemented the meats very well. We ended our dinner with dessert and authentic Arab coffee; I was pleasantly surprised of the spices that I was able to taste while drinking it and the Baklava, which was also made in house, was a great way to end our evening. Our waitress was very friendly, available always checking on us and had a wonderful sense of humor. Mohammad one of the owners was friendly and made you feel at home. One last thing I want to point out is the whole place is very Covid aware; everyone wore masks, tables were disinfected and wiped down after every meal, and there was hand sanitizer available by the counter! Keep up the great job; can’t wait to come in again soon 😊

Excellent eating experience. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing.
Abe Habahbeh
I just ordered 5 manikish and I loved it! They tasted amazing! And surprisingly, it took less than 15 minutes. Everyone was so nice and patient with me, since it was my first time ordering. The girl that helped me explained what the food was and answered all my questions without any complaint. I will definitely be back! Great service and the food tastes amazing
Nishat Hossain
I placed my first order from here after just hearing about it! It was soo good. I had the potato pie which I wish I had gotten more of. Next time I go I will be sure to get more and also try the other pies. I also got the chicken shish tawook wrap and baklava. The entree tasted delicious and the bread they put with it was so nice and fluffy. The baklava was also amazing! It was way bigger than I thought it would be so the price is reasonable. I am definitely coming back here soon!
Mona Alawi
The owner is really hands on, so sweet and kind. Such a great atmosphere you feel at home. The food was amazing really good!!! Highly recommend must try if you haven’t already!!!!
For sure a returning customer.
Rachel Knoespel
Ordered the large mixed grill party platter over the phone for pickup with a few changes and it was so easy/convenient! The flavors were amazing, there was so much food enough to feed 4 people plus leftovers and such an affordable price! We will be back soon!
kristen stanley
Delightful dining experience. Love the food from here. I had the lamb chops tonight. Great value! Family friendly and exceptional customer service. Would love to see the Zatar seasoning for sale. We will be back, again. Appreciate the drive through option.

It has only been open a few weeks and I have been there twice; once for carryout and once for in-person dining on their patio. Yes, they have a beautiful fenced in patio with super cushioned seating. At first I thought this was an Indian Food restaurant but it is Arabian Food! High protein grilled meat menu with luxurious Mediterranean sides, breads, and salads! Super healthy and Super delicious! They have a large fired oven in the middle of the restaurant where all their breads are baked fresh in front of you! The flavors are more subtle than Indian Food. There is no worry of having something "too spicy". The presentation of the plates is high quality. The ingredients of the food is high quality. The prices are very reasonable and the portions sizes are quite large adding even more value. The interior is exquisitely decorated in true Arabian theme. One would never know it was once a Burger King! They will be offering a drive through soon for even easier ways to enjoy their great food. Personally, in Covid world, I really enjoyed the Patio seating..but it was during the day. Come winter I will definitely make use of the drive through. When I did get carryout, the restaurant was FULL. It is a beautiful setting. But the food.....Fabulous!!!

One of our favorite places to stop on our way home from the airport! The potato fatayer is delicious! The mixed grill, humus and kibbeh are some favorites too. I wish they were located closer to our house!
Shahed Zaman
Service was great, food - did not meet my expectations. Really liked the interior, though. Very nice touch of middle eastern decoration. Might try the kababs next time.
Arwa Atari
Delicious! So happy to have a true authentic Middle Eastern restaurant in our town. The food is satisfying and great.
DD
Very delicious and authentic Levantine food! Very good value as well! My only recommendation is that there is consistency of when things are available (lunch and breakfast food). I called about bread One morning and they said it wouldn't be available for a few hours. However, for a new restaurant, I think they are simply amazing! So happy to have discovered this gem in Milwaukee!
MJ Patten
I enjoyed nearly every detail of this place. From the decor, to the plating, to the food. Everything was beautiful. Service was a little slow but I believe there was only one waitress taking orders. So, I’m still giving 5 stars because everything else was really superb and she was still super helpful. I’d definitely love to come back and try more.
Sumeyye Ozbek
The place is very nice, but the service is very slow. We had to wait about 15 minutes for them to open us a table. While we wait for the table we ordered our food thinking that the food would be ready by the time we sit down. But we were wrong… It took exactly 50 minutes
William Klitzkie
Decided to try something different so we stopped in fo lunch an were impressed with the interior character and wait staff. We initially set at an indoor table but then realized there was a covered patio available outside which we requested and were allowed to sit at it would succeed me warm outside 94 degrees but the fries on the patio and the refreshing iced tea was very relaxing and comfortable not knowing which food assumed we were offered Suggestions by the server who recommended two entrees and not reviewing the menu in detail followed her her suggestions they were to see me tasty serve pleasantly and characteristic Mediterranean authenticity of lemon, parsley, cucumber sauce and mint and a variety of different mixes with meats and vegetables after spending approximately hour-and-a-half eating and joining the atmosphere we left without sampeling any of the scrumptious dessert which were evidently available. Iit appears as though breakfast and super are there strong suits, But I think one of the pies with soup/salid would be a great lunch.
OG_1970s_Gamer
We did carry out for the first time tonight. I did end up waiting for quite awhile in the parking lot for my order. They were pretty busy and the young lady was very apologetic so that goes a long way in my book. They did forgot my order of falafel so that takes a star away. The food was very good but a bit on the pricey side in my opinion. The taboun bread was awesome and still warm when I got it home. We enjoyed everything we ordered and I’m sure we will be back in the future. I’m glad to see something took over the old BK building.
Emily J
It was absolutely delicious, with a good atmosphere and music. The staff and owner were so nice and very accommodating. I highly recommend!!
Rebecca Knox Captain Save A Home (Captain Save A Home)
We had lunch with friends yesterday. I had never been here but our friends love this place and I can definitely see why. The food is a 10 for sure.
I docked a point because of service and also they told us they were unable to provide certain items on the menu because they were too busy yet we saw other tables getting the items we had wanted. The other thing was there was guys in the parking lot that had a gun and it seemed that one of the people working in the restaurant knew them because he went out there and was laughing with the group. It's sort of nerve-wracking to eat lunch and have to see a group of guys with a gun in the parking lot especially during these times we live in.
Dawn Hutchison
Amazing food! I had Dawalee (rolled grapeleaves), chicken and the cucumber salad. The lemon mint smoothy was heavenly! The food tasted amazing and was beautifully presented. My entree was very reasonably priced and the service was kind and attentive. Taqwas just became my new favorite place to eat!
alan grabow (ALnG Culinary)
I ordered the Mixed Grill, a great mix of the protiens with an ample serving of rice. The flavors were spot on as expected. Our server was beyond attentive and polite she knew all the menu items and described the dish with knowledge. A special diner after the game. Thank you Muhamad
Jason
Delicious food. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The decor is also very neat.
Jillian Suh-Kurovski
What a lovely place to eat and experience! Wonderful service and food.
My friends and I ordered about half the menu, and every single bite was fantastic. We strongly recommend Taqwas.
Thank you so much to Taqwas for the most wonderful dining experience!
MA
Amazing service and food, top notch atmosphere!
Dave Marriott
The food is incredible; the staff was also kind. The internal atmosphere is great, so long as you can get passed the non-ambiance of the parking lot. We traveled 45 mins for this meal and would gladly do it again.
Suz D
Food was excellent! Fresh and tasty! Service was superb! Would DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant and will be back!
Mohammed Khan
I like the ambience. I orderred tahini kufta it was sour but the rice was just amazing. The fattoush salad was not good at all due to huge amount of lemon squeeze on it. By the way the quantity of food was alot. They need to lower there quantity to make profits. The customer service was fantastic better than food
Andrew Short
Amazing food and customer service. Rahaf was a great server. Very hospitable and funny. 10/10, please do come here.
M A
I think it is one of the best Arabic quality food here in MKE! Brenda -our table waitress- did an awesome job 👍🏼 …
Julie Ray
Went with my parents and brother. Food was delicious, flavorful -- service was excellent. Will definitely be back!
Max Alqadi
The most amazing restaurant experience I’ve ever had! The food was a delicacy, the staff is super friendly and actually care! Most definitely going there again!!
bill petersen
It was our first visit to Taqwa's and it was nothing short of amazing. The young lady at the front was super helpful with our order. The food was outstanding, even though my wife couldn't figure out what she wanted and got three different entrees lol. No worries ill eat it for her.
Sawsan Rizeq
I was looking forward to trying this place and it did not disappoint! They did a wonderful job with decor, customer service and most importantly delicious Middle Eastern dishes. The homemade bread coming out the oven is their staple. Dip in the bread with olive oil and zatar. Family place you can come for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will want to come back and try everything!
Le Du
Very nicely culturally decor place with very cool music back ground. Had the vegetarian plate with lentil soup. Love it. Taste of the food and presentation is great. The waitres very professional and respectful. Definitely will be back.
Vingati
Tie me up and throw me into a pit of fire - the food here is absolutely delicious! The lamb chomps with rice was as good as the Libyan regime back in the 80s; fresh and savory. I highly recommend getting a side of hummus and falafel too. Don't worry about the bill, there's nothing better you could spend your money on. When you go there, mention my name "bandoor" - this way they charge you extra. They deserve every penny.
Katrina Short
Rahaf was amazing! She is funny and answered all of our questions! The food was also amazing and we will definitely be coming back!! 😊
Adam Ali
Best food in Milwaukee with the best server Roza you have to try it
Saud Khazal
Dined there for the first time yesterday and as a middle eastern born and raised person from Arabia I can attest to its authenticity not to mention it’s great tastes! I ordered hummus, baba ghanouj, mix grill plate and a freshly squeezed mint lemonade drink! Big portions, and all very tasty. Bread is baked fresh before served in their fire oven which is visible to the clients (like a pizza open oven). We also ordered mana’eesh (a freshly baked bread in a pizza shape topped with Zataar and olive oil) along with fatayer ( like a stuffed calazone with spinach and cheese) all nicely packed and freshly baked handed to us on our way out! It’s an adorable family run business and the passion shows through everything! Mashalla.. a must try alone, with a friend or a full family.
Moaz Alhamedy
Taqwas is a solid choice. The staff is welcoming, and the food is tasty with adequate portions.
Lory Bresina
We have enjoyed the delicious and reasonably priced food at Taquas Bakery and Restaurant twice so far. We hope to visit again soon and try out different items. Don't skip dessert--all freshly prepared. Also, the decor of the restaurant is delightful!
Samy Mankarious
Food is good but didn't like the fact that except for the waiter, most people inside didn't ware masks . Didnt see any signs to ask people to wait one. Tables were close by and there is cluster of people by the cash register. Maybe next time I will order curbside or delivery or just wait after the pandemic is over
terri c
Picked up dinner for two as takeout and Everything I ordered was delicious! The zaatar and cheese bread was amazing and didn’t make it home untouched! The tabouli and shish kebabs were made with fresh ingredients and delicious spices. The desserts were also fresh and amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Melissa Hodgson
The food here is excellent! You can experience good healthy food with flavors that will feel you up. This was my 2nd trip, and I’ll be back. Manasrah, your helpful. Thanks for taking the time to break the menu down😊 …
Heidi Mascal
My Mother's Day was complete with our awesome meal at this cute establishment! Our first time after seeing the highlight on Fox6 news. I highly recommend the

Brandon Reyes
Very clean and warm place, seems like it’s a family business. Everyone really cares about the quality of everything. The food is Amazing, very big portions so consider sharing. I highly recommend as a have too.

William Bunyan
The food was really good. For my first visit I ordered the kefta entree and the mixed grill entree. I also ordered manakish, which I've never had before, and it was really good. I ordered the half cheese, half zaatar manakish, and liked both sides. I will definitely be back.
Becky Wagner
Taqwa’s was great! Mosakhan was delicious and Rahaf’s service is unbeatable. Highly recommend.
Amal Fares
I am so glad I came to check this place out. It’s amazing and I am coming back for sure. Homemade oven bread is fresh sooo good. Outdoor seating is lovely. Every detail is beautiful and high quality. Great friendly service and best Middle Eastern food in the Midwest!
Nichole Bast
Wanted to try something new. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Food was amazing, so delicious. Service was great and tons of leftovers. I will be going back.
ALLAN BASSETT
We tried this place for the first time and the food is amazing. What a great place for Middle Eastern food .We ordered tabouli spinach pies, meat pies, cucumber yogurt, stuffed meat grape leaves and a quarter piece of chicken👍 We will be back! Carry out is available! …
Scott Davis
My wife and a friend went to Taqwas tonight. They both had a great experience. Muhammed Manasrah recommended the mosakhan and dawalee. Absolutely delicious. She brought home sambousek for me. So good! Great service, very helpful with recommendations and speedy. Nice place, well kept. They can't wait to go back, and now I wish I had gone along.
Roy Chang
Outstanding service and delicious food here

Terrance Van Gorder
We can't wait to return to try more of the many dishes that Taqwas offers. We love to see the daily new dish or dessert. Reasonable prices, friendly and responsive staff. Our new favorite restaurant!
Mutaz Hasanin
Recently I visited Tawqas Bakery and restaurant for dinner with family and friends. I must say the food was superb and the service was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was so fresh and delightful. As well the decor is one of a kind. Without a doubt I highly recommend Tawqas as I shall most definitely be returning.
Khawla Asmar
Mrs. Taqwa recently catered a luncheon for our school staff and guests (125 people). The food ordered was delivered and set up by Taqwa and her helpers on time to the minute we requested it. In addition, she provided the desserts, drinks, plates and utensils. In other words, it was a complete service.
The variety of foods was exceptional. We ordered chicken and beef kabob, rice, salads, spinach, cheese and meat pies, stuffed grape leaves (dolmatas), hummus, mixed vegetables in a rich tomato sauce and of course, the famous tabun bread baked fresh daily.
The food was plentiful and all of the guests enjoyed the lunch. The price per individual was extremely fair. Highly recommend Taqwa’s for some of the best Mediterranean flavours in the Milwaukee area. In addition to catering and dine-in services, there is also a drive through.
Dania Wahdan
Great decor and atmosphere. The Manakish was absolutely amazing and everyone should try!
The only thing that I didn’t like was the chicken. It was cold, unseasoned and tasted like it was 1-2days old (not fresh).
Amer Alam
This place is very lovely from the moment you walk in, the food was amazing, tasty and reasonably priced. Service was great
and the music and lightning were perfect. I’ve never came across anything that I do not like. I would definitely come back.
Sheila Badwan
Amazing fresh, authentic middle eastern food. Everyone should go try this restaurant. The service is quick and very welcoming staff. Felt like I was at home. Favorite dish is the grape leaves.
Tapan Bhavsar
Service was slow and we didnt get some part of order. Overall nice place with good food options.we loved the bakery item.
Akshay Narkar
Tons of food and great quality. Ambience is very relaxing and staff is polite. Little slow, but that's perfect for a date.
Christina Hamati
the food here is really good. however they don't provide bread for takeout orders, which as an arab myself, i find to be crazy. you can't sell baba ghanouj and hummus and no bread? what?
the first time they told me they ran out of bread. the second time i asked for bread she told me they didn't have any, then changed her story and said they save it for the buffet. which... who's doing a buffet in the middle of a pandemic? she said she'd check if she could give me bread and put me on hold and came back and said no. like, again, what? who sells hummus and baba ghanouj and no bread?
if you're an arabic restaurant you need to serve bread on the side. periodt. let me know when you fix this issue plz.
Maurq Pea
Come eat here!!!. I spent some time in the Middle East with the military and fell in love with the food. Since I return to the states haven't really been able to find it other than Holy Land grocery on 27th. This food made me smile. So good. I'll be back soon and often!!! Enta Habibi!!!
Ahmad Atari
We ordered cattering for my sisters engagement and the food was so tasty. We ordered three lambs and some rice with some salad. I can honestly say it was the best lamb I had in a long time.
sami muzahem
The food was amazing , the wait was not long, there was always service ready. But there was one person who gave the best service I ever seen in my life and his name is Muhammad manasrah. He was very quick and polite and when we needed something he got it right away and we were satisfied to the fullest.
So thank you muhammad manasrah.
Sue Spersrud
Delicious!!! This has been on our list for a while. Stopped on a Sunday for lunch, great service, very clean and nicely decorated.

Terrific food that the whole family enjoyed. Everything was delicious. The large group sampler meal is great value - easily feed 6 adults for $60. Service was fast and attentive. We'll go back whenever we need a meal going to or from MKE airport.

Amazing authentic, well seasoned and the meat was so tender and juicy. Get the mixed meat platter!!

Delicious and authentic food, with a great homely atmosphere. Amazing Middle Eastern style aesthetic and decor. Friendly staff, and overall a great experience! Will definitely come again and again!
J Baade
OMG! I just found my new "go to" Mediterranean/Middle Eastern place. Since it was my first time, I ordered WAY to much cuz everything sounded great. The Baba Gannouj was outstanding (been way too long since I had baba gannouj as good as this) as we're the falafels and hummus. Got a Taboun expecting something like a pita. Boy was I wrong. It was as big as my head, soft, chewy and amazing. I'll never eat a pita again. AND I ordered a Manakish which, I had no idea, was the size of a pizza. Its was crispy on the bottom, soft and chewy in the middle, smoothered with chesse and unbelievably delicious. Yeah... I'll be back.
Christian Ahangar
The food was delicious. The service was great. The fresh bread they gave us was a wonderful start. I would highly recommend eating her, I know I will be back.
Roberto Gonzalez
The bread is delicious and highly impressed with the quality and amount of food they give you. Everything is fresh and handmade. I’m bringing my parents next week. Staff is extremely friendly.

The BEST Mediterranean food by far! Everything was super tasty! Thank you Muhammad for the great service! If you are in Milwaukee area we highly recommend it!
Lori Ann R
Happy 2021! Just happened past Taqwa’s on my way home from work this morning. It’s been open for 5 months hidden away in the At Home parking lot on 27/Layton. You’d never guess from the inside that it’s a renovated Burger King. Why head downtown or out of town for Mediterranean when we have this fabulous friendly delicious slice of amazing right here!
Ahmed J. Awad
Great food, service and ambiance. Very authentic
Secure Express LLC
Very clean and very nice people love it. Good job. ❤️😘 …
Michael Loew
Just fantastic. We did a pot of mint tea, a lamb chop dinner, a lentil soup, mthawwamih (think Greek scordalia but better) labneh ( a yogurt cheese with a pool of olive oil in the center), manakish (think a light as air fluffy cheese pizza with zataar seasoning too), with a basket of the hearth baked fluffy bread, a small bowl of olive oil and some dry zataar for dunking as an amuse bouche and three anise date filled cookies to go and a total bill that was most reasonable. Looking forward to a quick return to try more items.
Brad Flatoff

We've ordered to go previously and ate in tonight. Food was amazing and the service was very good, very friendly. Try the pies and best hummus in town.
Tyler Hamelink
What can I say but wow. My wife and I went for a late lunch date and ordered the hummus to share, my wife had the mixed grill platter with cucumber yogurt salad, and I had kufta kabob wrap. The hummus was almost certainly the best hummus I've had in my life, the fresh warm bread and all the toppings? I'm never going to be satisfied with normal grocery store hummus after this, it's broken me. The portions on our entrees were insane, we're both going to get at least another meal out of them, maybe even more. The kufta was juicy and and deliciously spiced. Amazing that we have this option in our community, we're going to be back for sure!
John Contreras
Phenomenal food! My partner took me here for lunch, and I will definitely be coming back! The salad was so tasty, and the various meats were perfect. Definitely recommend!
