Mashawe Mediterranean Bbq

Unclaimed

Absolutely amazing Mediterranean food. This place was jam packed on a weeknight and there had to be a reason for it. Tried the smoked Lebanese wrap and traditional Shwarma. Both had the actual authentic taste one can get in Middle East. The portion sizes were really big and filling. The rates are totally reasonable and actually feel a lot less compared to the quality and quantity of food they serve. This is a must try, definitely to be tried once you are in this vibrant market. Highly recommended

Limited sit inside the restaurant but can't denied the food is so yummy/delicious in New Zealand. I had been trying most of the Arabic cuisine in NZ this is the best in Christchurch.The skewers is juicy not so hard to chew along with the raisin rice and fattush salad make it so great taste. burger with fried sweet onion make it so wonder the taste of it.

How can I give a 6 star rating!?! Mashawe Mediterranean BBQ stands out on Christchurch’s iconic New Regent Street. We came for its well-reviewed authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, and the experience did not disappoint. This casual, family-friendly eatery offers a menu packed with smokey grilled meats, Greek souvlakis, mezze platters, and classic dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, and falafel. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, with a mix of indoor seating and options for dine-in, takeout, and delivery. We found the portions generous, the ingredients fresh, and especially appreciated the halal certification. Service was friendly and efficient, and the owner even made space for us to perform our prayers. It’s no wonder the restaurant is doing so well. The menu also features salads, share plates, and indulgent burgers, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Mashawe is a top choice for lunch, dinner, or a quick bite-whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or as a family. Mashawe Mediterranean BBQ is a must-visit for anyone craving vibrant flavours in the heart of the city.

Absolutely amazing food. We've never had falafel this crispy, fluffy, and not greasy anywhere else before. The shawarma and Lebanese smoked wraps were incredible (chicken and lamb respectively). The staff were very kind and attentive. If you haven't been here, you need to fix that quickly!

We ordered the mixed grill for two, and it was more than enough for both me and my husband. The meat was delicious and well-cooked. The staff were very kind and welcoming? Highly recommended!
