    A big fan of Mawa and was excited to try Mawita. Suffice to say it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful ambiance, good music and a great menu that isn’t over the top indulgent. Very well priced and most of the items have the Mawa touch which makes it an exciting culinary adventure beyond the typical tapas joint. Shared a lot of dishes with our friends and they were all fabulous.
