One of our favorite places in the Milwaukee area. Everything we've tried here has been delicious, and we have been many times. Since Taqwas is a bakery as well as a restaurant, it's no surprise that the bread is fantastic and the manakish may be our favorite thing to get, especially the zeit and zaatar version. We recommend getting many dishes to share and taking any leftovers home: spinach or cheese fatayer, baba ghannouj, hummus, and dawalee (stuffed grape leaves) are always among our selections. And make sure you save room for dessert so you can try the baklava (both the pistachio and the walnut versions are delicious). We also love the mint tea. The service is great and they do a good job of bringing out the food in waves so that there's always something on the table. It's a great space to go as a group too, since the tables are large and you can try more things that way. Pro tip: we once saw someone order a full bread to go at the end of their meal, which struck us as a genius idea and one we will likely copy at some point.
