Mashawi was born from a deep love for authentic Mediterranean cuisine and a passion for sharing it with the Twin Cities community. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create dishes that are bold, rich in flavor, and reminiscent of home.

Growing up, food was more than just nourishment—it was a way to bring people together, to celebrate traditions, and to create lasting memories. We wanted to bring that same warmth and authenticity to our restaurant, crafting meals that not only satisfy the appetite but also ignite a sense of nostalgia and connection.

At Mashawi, every dish tells a story. From the smoky aroma of coal-fired shawarma to the perfectly spiced kufta kababs and the creamy, velvety hummus, we use only the finest ingredients and time-honored cooking methods to preserve the integrity of our flavors. Whether you're savoring a freshly grilled skewer or dipping warm bread into our signature garlic sauce, each bite is designed to transport you to the heart of the Mediterranean.

But Mashawi is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. A place where families gather, friends connect, and the love for great food brings people together. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite, indulging in a feast, or catering a special event, we welcome you with open arms and a table full of flavor.

This is our story. This is Mashawi. Authentic. Bold. Irresistible.
