  Don't hesitate, just go and order from Taqwa. What a gem - our server was attentive, our food came out quickly and was freshly made, and the inside decor is... read more absolutely beautiful.

You are immediately served hot pita with olive oil and spices that you mix together; it was fluffy and warm and you could taste the love made in it.

We had:
- Mint tea: Can't go wrong on a cold day with ~fresh~ mint!
- Dawalee: Wrapped grape leaves with meat/rice inside and a roasted chicken thigh/drumstick. The grape leaves are delightfully tangy, and the chicken thigh had quite possibly some of the crispiest chicken skin I have ever sunk my teeth into!
- Mixed plate with shish kabob, chicken shish tawook, and kufta kabob: all of the meat was moist, tender, and seasoned well. I loved the rice that came with!
- Cheese and zaatar manakish: an excellent appetizer that came to recommendation by our server; cheesy and herby and hot - what's not to love??
- Cucumber salad: a cool accompaniment to any meat dish with yogurt
- Fattoush: yet another refreshing, herby side!

We had leftovers that extended into two more meals. Just do yourself a favor and give this place a try and don't second guess it! Homemade, tasty, and absolutely all-around beautiful.

Absolutely the most delicious versions of middle eastern food, including the best hummus I've ever had, amazing falafel, unbelievable beef kebabs and lamb chops... everything... read more is top notch, and the service is great. Been here twice and can't stop thinking about it!

  This place is amazing! Their hummus is unbelievable. Highly recommend the kebabs, grape leaves, lamb chops. Our kids love it also.  Very friendly staff.

  I really want to try them out, but they need to think about their pricing of their wraps. Almost all middle eastern places in the area charge much less for... read more a wrap. $15+ for a wrap? That's way out of line.

  The food was amazing. Best middle eastern food I've had in the Milwaukee area. The lentil soup and kabobs are spot on and bursting with flavor.

  A great way to start off 2021!  Friendly staff, clean, huge variety in the menu and delicious doesn't even cover how good everything was. My husband and I noticed it... read more as we drove past the At Home parking lot 27/Layton and as I read the reviews my husband turned the car around!  He joked about how someone wrote they ordered so many items...then as we started we couldn't help but order more and more!

  Amazing! Everything we ordered was so incredibly devious, and we ordered a ton of food!!! Any time I travel I search for Middle Eastern food and this place was hands... read more down perfection!

We also ordered cheese pies and kebba, it was homemade with love!!!
Highly recommended

  OMG! I just found my new "go to" Mediterranean/Middle Eastern place.  Since it was my first time, I ordered WAY to much cuz everything sounded great.  The Baba Gannouj was... read more outstanding (been way too long since I had baba gannouj as good as this) as we're the falafels and hummus. Got a Taboun expecting something like a pita.  Boy was I wrong.  It was as big as my head, soft, chewy and amazing. I'll never eat a pita again. AND I ordered a Manakish which, I had no idea, was the size of a pizza.  Its was crispy on the bottom, soft and chewy in the middle, smoothered with chesse and unbelievably delicious.  Yeah... I'll be back.

  We had this a few days ago, and everything was delicious!  We look forward to our next order.

  Everything was very delicious. Turkish coffee was fantastic and zeit and zaatar was such a big portion and flavorful.

  Hi, what are your plans for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? I'll help - go to Taqwa's! They revived an old Burger King into a wonderful new oasis for your tastebuds.... read more We got takeout  but I have seen photos of the inside and it's gorgeous. I ordered the mixed grill plate and my husband got the mixed grill wrap. We also ordered falafel as an appetizer and it's the best falafel I have had in my life. Even though we are not super close to the location, our food was hot and fresh. Lots of leftovers to enjoy the next day. You can taste the love and care they are putting into this food, and we all need some extra love and care these days. Treat yourself and enjoy! They definitely deserve your business and hard earned money.

  So so good!! My daughter and I have a new neighborhood favorite. Did a sampler of almost everything . All was delicious and we had plenty to bring home for... read more a snack later. And before I forget the Turkish coffee is amazing ... I like my coffee strong and flavorful, and I almost ordered another but decided against it. Definitely check them out!!

  We read about Taqwa's in the Journal/Sentinel and had to try it!  We were greeted by the very friendly and funny Taka who also waited on us.  We had the... read more mint/lemon smoothie - so fresh and tangy, the Manikish with ground beef which was flavorful and plentiful, but the star of the night was house specialty Marakhan!  The most unique Palestinian bread (like a thick and crunchy pizza crust), topped with tangy carmelized onions, crunchy toasted almonds, fresh parsley and a quarter chicken.  How do you put bone-in chicken on top of a pizza, you might ask?  Well, don't ask.  It just works!  The chicken falls off the bone, great flavor and crispy skin.  I don't know how they do it.  We will definitely go back soon with our kids.  Delicious, different and divine!

  Wow.... What a nice place. And the service was top notch. Food, amazing. All fresh, prepared. I got the mix grill you can taste and smell the difference. The bread... read more is made here delicious and the falafel are crunchy, I recommend this to everyone!

  The food is really amazing and Taqwa is the sweetest! Highly recommend!

  All of our food was delicious and full of great flavors. Desserts were yummy ( I had warbat ) !  Strong dark coffee !   The patio was roomy (... read more tables were well spaced )   Definitely will be returning!!

  I don't usually seek out this type of food because I've found where i've gone the meat and rice were dry most of the time.  To my surprise this place... read more was good. I had the chicken shish tawook and the large chunks of  chicken were moist and tender and rice wasn't dry it was kind of like a pilaf.The breads were soft fluffy deliciousness. Had a cheese pie the pillowy dough with cheese and add some of the seasonings on top o my good little appetizer. Portions are generous and come with a type of salad of your choosing with an entree. The salad I had was with cucumbers, tomato, croutons and mint and it was  fresh cool clean flavor and good for summertime. Waitress was friendly and did well.  They have pastries to buy upfront.  I had a piece of baklava cinnamon honey phyllo nuts sticky good yumminess.  Being a yelp person you can check in and receive a free dessert.  Ill be going back to try other dishes
