I love the variety of dining options they had- the lamb was a little gamey but good. Love the hookah and the aurprise belly dancer at night - recommend ober the other boring restaurants

“Unique restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Sawa is a blend of Japanese and middle eastern cuisine. Sitting outside in the Village of Merrick Park is wonderful. I found the appetizers especially good as are the happy hour prices and drinks.

“Not a good sushi....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

The food is really average, beyond average, and it is not a good sushi and sashimi by any stretch of imagination. It do not know what type of sushi the restaurant believes they serve, but somebody out to tell them that they are very mistaken.

“A (good) surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

When we decided to have a luncheon at Merrick Park, we were attracted by this restaurant's terrasse on a square.
We took the $19 three course menu.
It happened to be flawless.
We had "Jamon croquette" as a starter, then a hamburger with mushrooms/onions and our dessert was "Duce de leche" a banana with ice cream on top. Everything was tasting good, cooked to our request.
With 2 large bottles of Saratoga sparkling water, we ended with a $52 check for two.
The service was very attentive, helpful and friendly.
We will definitely go back. This is a best buy in the area.

“Wonderful Place for Brunch with the Girls”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2012

We had a wonderful time at Sawa this past Sunday for Miami Spice. The food was definitely good for the price point and our server was very attentive. Did I mention 2 for 1 Bellinis? You can't beat that anywhere. I would suggest the Strawberry and the Passion Fruit.. the Lychee is also an interesting experience. The Dulce de Leche Banana Spring Roll is worthy of the gods.

We will definitely be back. Enthusiastic 3/12 to 4 stars.
