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.

    Fuimos en la hora del Happy Hour y la comida estuvo buenísima pero al principio nos abandonaron un poco en la mesa y teníamos que llamar para pedir servicio, de hecho yo pedí agua para mi perrita y se la tuve que pedir a tres personas antes de qué llegara el bowl. Por lo demás todo excelente como siempre. Yo vivo en Puerto Rico cuando vengo a Florida me quedo en Fort Lauderdale y siempre vengo a SAWA YA RAMSÉS NOS CONOCE Y CUANDO ÉL ESTÁ NOS ATIENDEN DE MARAVILLA.

    As always we had a wonderful time. Giselle, the general manager, came to our table to ask if everything was to our liking. She’s is very knowledgeable, hard working and is able to multi task. She was engaging with us while maintaining an eye on the staff, tables and food. Giselle is an asset to Sawa

    Marcela was our server and the bartender, she was wonderful and the food was very tasty however overall it was not the best experience. We sat inside which is very hot and humid with mosquitos flying around. Took a long time to receive waters and such. Will only be back for a leisure afternoon outside but not to sit inside for lunch or dinner.

    Bad experience. Not going back. Hostesses, eating while discussing our table, rude when I asked for a specific table, waiter had to intervene given the indifference. Food was awful. Tasted bland, likely warmed up in the microwave.

    We had a wonderful outdoor dining experience here with an attentive server and excellent food. The only negative on the food was that the Greek salad was advertised as having olives and it had none because the restaurant was out of olives. We could’ve been told that at the time we placed our order. The portion size was Substantial. With the temperature in the upper 70s, it was a perfect evening to dine outdoors.

    Had a wonderful night at SAWA. We had the Kebab Platter and it was more than enough for two. The ambiance was relaxing. The entertainment with the belly dancer was unexpected but great! I was one of the chosen ones to have a sword on their head! We had a great time! Definitely recommend!

    Always a great time a sawa. We were outside and surprisingly with the fans it wasn't too hot. The menu is extensive with lot's of great options for any diet. We are disappointed they discontinued the lobster nori tacos, but there are lots of other options. It's a great value. Enjoy the belly dancing!
