Mashawi Moroccan & Middle Eastern

Lovely evening out, excellent food, relaxed and enjoyable service, cool and comfortable, could easily talk and hear others, thank you for a very nice dinner out.

Great menu, was quite loud inside. Loved the fact that it was BYO

Not licenced so byo all alcohol which keeps the price down. Very attentive service but not pushy or uncomfortable. Food AMAZING

We had a vege tagine called Black Fez and chicken kebabs, chips, salad and shared Hummos. It was all very good and fresh and full of flavour. Great for a pre Astor Theatre meal.

Visited Mashawi for a saturday lunch. We had the set "Feast menu" which was great value with more than enough to eat. We started with a selection of breads and dips, followed by a mixed entree plate. We were a party of three so we shared three tagines; chicken with potatoes and olives, apricot chicken and I think tbe highlight; lamb with prunes. All meats were succulent and pulled apart with the fork. Could not fault anything. We finished with a pick of middle eastern treats; pistachio birds nest, baklava, lady's fingers. These were accompanied with a hot drink of choice; we tried the Moroccan mint tea and traditional Moroccan coffee. Decor in the restaurant sets the scene and service was friendly and accommodating. My 78 year old Mum also was a fan. An enjoyable experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The restaurant seems to have dumbed down its food for an Australian palate (mistakenly). There was scarcely a trace of Moroccan herbs and spices.

Tagines come with a base of rice or cous cous and the portion of meat or vegetables on top are small.

Friend and I shared 2 vegan tagines (we’re not vegan but they sounded so delicious) - they were both so tasty and the serving sizes were so generous we couldn’t finish them both. A great menu with something for everyone plus it’s BYO - definitely recommend!

Big portions, great dips. Main meals need more flavour though.

Amazing food and service

The food was really great and very satisfied. I would definitely go back for the food. The only downside was the waitresses kept trying to clear our table while we were still eating... I understand there is time limit when you book with The Fork but it was on Sunday night and there were always empty tables around after the first sitting. I don't think they needed to rush us?

Our first time here and won't be the last I love this cuisine!

Staff were friendly and food is quite OK.

Extensive and varied menu, something for everyone. Easy-going, neighborhood restaurant, casual and a lot of fun.

The waitresses were all attentive and friendly.

We visited on a Saturday night and every table was full which made it very noisy but the food and service was fantastic and the entertainment was a bonus. Would definitely recommend and we will return.

We were asked about four times within the first 15 minutes of seating, if we know what we want to order yet even though we repeatedly said “please could you give us 5 minutes”. When the food arrived it lacked spice, salt and portions were small. Belly dancer arrived after our meal to a booming sound system which was very poor quality and should be updated. Venue is too small to accommodate that many tables that have been crammed in, belly dancer even struggled through her routine to pass by the tables from one per of the room to the other.

Great food and good vegetarian selection

been there twice now, great food

Very friendly service, food better than in Morocco, just back from there
