About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
  • Healthy
Sawa Restaurant & Lounge opened with a contemporary Mediterranean & Japanese dual-concept cuisine in early 2010 in the beautiful upscale Shops at Merrick Park.

Sawa's dual-concept tapas-centric menu was created to encourage a shareable dining experience. The menu tells a story of when the East meets the Far East and the unique offerings of contemporary Mediterranean & Japanese dishes merge an innovative sushi menu with a memorable ensemble of tapas and entrees. Guests can explore traditional Lebanese dishes, such as hummus, kibbeh, and falafel and expand into nouveau Mediterranean and Japanese flavors, as Sawa fuses together creative cuisine elements into one great menu.

While Sawa is known for its inclusive & creative menu and beautiful outdoor ambiance, entertainment is also an integral part of Sawa's story, focusing on an upscale eater-tainment concept as dinner guests are enchanted by live professional bellydance shows every weekend.

    Great service and outstanding food. I had the Shrimp Dumplings, Lentils, and the Pasta Antigiano with shrimp, my friend had the Mahi Mahi Ceviche, the Emperor’s Date Boat, the Dragon Roll and we share the Chocolate Lava Cake. Every single plate was perfectly cooked and the presentation was amazing. Definitely will return. We highly recommended this place. The Menu has dishes from Japan, Greece, and Lebanese. Fantastic Menu!

    My salad was not washed, you could taste the dirt, and feel the grit between your teeth. Told my server, he did nothing. Told the manager, she did nothing. No apology, no attempt to correct. Very disappointed after so many years of eating here.

    Sawa is our local “go to” for a consistent experience of great welcoming service, menu variety, and consistent quality of food! We’ve been going for many years and plan to continue for many more! Hats off to the incredible staff of servers and kitchen, and to the management team that creates this environment for the staff to enjoy what they’re doing…it’s shows!! We’ll be back very soon!
