    Solid spot with large portions and fast service. Food was flavorful and tasted fresh. Gorgeous interior space.

    Have been to Al Bawadi Grill a couple of times and highly recommend. They have a great selection of food and love their shawarma platter. This place is always very busy but the service is excellent. The front of the house staff is super friendly, attentive and always willing to answer questions about the menu. Do stop by ... you won't be disappointed.

    Fascinating efficient service I had to mix grill, which was delicious and the fresh bread with hummus. I really should've gone with the baba ghanoush, which is always good, but the hummus was really really good as well so no complaints all in all a lot of food. Low price can't beat it $50 between two people great Will definitely come back!

    Combo plate. The sauces were delicious too.

    Dined in for lunch with my boyfriend. The appetizers, drinks, and combo plate were absolutely delicious!! Exotic flavors. The staff is very friendly and hospitable. I was impressed by the coffee samples. The Palestinian Kanafa is absolutely delicious! The other guests at the restaurant were impressed, friendly and ecstatic too. Authentic delicious Arabic cuisine. 5 stars!

    Prompt service friendly staff the portions are huge and love the appetizers that come beside your meal I ordered leg of lamb it comes in pieces with 2 times of rice which was amazing but the lamb was so tuff to chew I almost chocked to death they give you no knifes so I cut it with the spoon the other meal was better we also order lemonade to go but did not know it had mint so it was like a virgin version of a mojito the meal for 2 was $89 I wish the lamb would be tenter and juicy not dry and tuff I been here before with my family the food was better I think that was it for me the ambiance romantic and dark for a date night I did not have room for desert

    Gosh went back several more times. HD the beef kebab and on a subsequent time had the mixed meat shawarma plate. Meat for the latter was a bit dry but the plate was plentiful for two meals Nd the garlic sauce just made the dish. However, the main course was not the highlight....but the desserts fee cannot beat it... Had the lotus milk and the pistachios cake which is also a milk cake so super moist and spongy and just dissolves inside your mouth. Wanted to take the whole cake home. Please do yourself a favor and order their dessert even if you're stuff to the rim. You won't regret it

    MUTHAWAMA

    I normally cook when I entertain, but I was celebrating my 50th birthday and didn't want to have to cook for the celebration. Al Bawadi to the rescue! Their catering is so easy and everything comes as a package. I love all of the food and salad and since I had ordered a Sidr and large mixed meat platter, I got falafel as well. Everything was excellent, as always! My guests were raving about everything and there was plenty of food. The meats were all well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender as were all the other meats. The 2 rices are both a lovely color and so yummy and balanced. The hummus is silky smooth and so delicious, and the baba ganouj is the best I've ever had. The muthuwama is the crowd favorite. I've never been able to find it at a place that had perfected it as Al Bawadi has. The ordering process as very easy, I just called and my order was taking by a very nice lady. The food was ready when we picked it up, and presented so nicely! They helped my husband load the boxes and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is beautiful as always! I highly recommend Al Bawadi for both dining in and catering. There's nobody better!

    AL BAWADI APPETIZER SAMPLER PLATTER
    Marisa B.

    The food was incredible. We absolutely ordered too much food but it was all good. The mint lemonade was tart and sweet. The appetizer sampler was a great choice but with our entree we received a side as well. The service was great and water refills came regularly. The ambiance was welcoming and authentic. I would highly recommend this location to others.

    Beautifully cooked dishes, beautiful decor, and stellar service - what's not to love? We were a group of 7 people there for a birthday dinner and we were all amazed not only by the delicious food, but also by the amazing service. We shared an appetizer sampler and an order of kibbeh, all of which tasted amazing and signaled that our main dishes were going to be a treat! We got the large kebab platter, intended for 6 people, and we were amazed by the generous amount of food, which included hummus, babaganoush, muthawama, salad, and a variety of meats. The meats were seasoned perfectly and cooked absolutely beautifully, a truly impressive feat! Of course, we couldn't skip the mint lemonades, a sweet and refreshing touch to our delectable meal. For dessert, we split a large, ultra crispy kenafa with a sparkler and birthday song for the birthday person - super delicious and a sweet touch! Parking was hard to come by, but it was worth every effort just to eat at this restaurant. I absolutely can't wait to come back!

    CHICKEN SHAWERMA SANDWICH
    Jim D.

    Read rave reviews prior to coming here. I merely indulged in take out & twas simply a c chicken burrito of sorts but I wasn't impressed. Consequently there was nothing wrong with the sandwich but I trekked quite a way to get here. If ever in the area & I didn't feel like spending a ton on a quick bite sure this would be an option but to go of out my way would be a stretch.

    Chicken Tawook Toshka
    Shruti J.

    We came here for dinner and ordered a bunch of things: Lamb chops - they were good not great Chicken shawarma platter - flavorful chicken, I bet it tastes a lot better in a wrap Pomfret - it was oily, wasn't really flavorful. I wish they served this with a tangy salad or atleast a slice of lime on the side. No spice whatsoever! Bawadi wings : these were good, had good flavor and kick Chicken tawook toshka- probably our favorite dish here! Get the tawook version.. takes a bit longer but is nothing like anything you've had before. Very tasty and comes crispy. Kunafa - honestly, this was my first and I did not know what to expect but I enjoyed it. Overall, I felt our experience was alright, nothing extraordinary. We really enjoyed a few dishes and some were subpar.

    Is it a BYOB restaurant? 🍷

    Anyone ever order the sage tea? How was it?

    It's amazing

    Do they have hookah here?

    Sierra, short answer, no. Long answer there's a reason why they don't. It's bc Al Bawadi is a full scale family restaurant where hookahs (Indian Subcontinental) & shishas (more Arab & Middle Eastern) are not seen as a familial type of activity,… Read more

    The atmosphere is loud, has anyone been there for lunch or around 5? Thinking to have a Birthday dinner for abt 10 people.

    Call ahead and make a reservation - they have a couple areas they can probably put your party in for more intimacy.

We started with the veggie appetizer, and the house-made pita was honestly the best pita I've ever had -- warm, fresh, and perfect with all the dips (which were all delicious). For our entrée, we shared the mixed grill plate. We did ask for the filet mignon to be well done but slightly pink, and even though it wasn't exactly that, everything still tasted really good and flavorful. To drink, we had the lemon and mint, which was super refreshing. For dessert, we tried the kunafa (hope I'm spelling that right!), and Mones walked us through it and explained everything, which made it even more enjoyable. Great food, amazing service, and we'll definitely be coming back.

I did turn to give a look but finally after a 30min long listening to the cry. My son loved the brisket. I don't get it why he did not order authentic Palestinian food.

    Listen to me, I've driven by this place so many times and wondered what's really good to eat here…read more Most of the time I was intimidated by the traffic here, and how cramped it can seem - but let me tell you, the food is WORTH IT, man! Just the bowl of lamb broth pre-meal is worth an hour of wait. I DREAM OF THAT BROTH, it was that good. I wanted to seek out the chef, and kiss his/her hands, but I don't have bail money, so I didn't. Their grilled fish was also to die for; booked through perfectly, and juicy, with a bunch of beautifully caramelized seasoning giving it a scrumptious yet delicate flavor. Baba Ghanoush can be had as a main, versus a side, the portion is aplenty, and the flavor is top notch; I prefer my ghanoush more chunky, but this is creamy and satisfying too! Overall, thoroughly satisfied, this is the kind of meal that will have you hating yourself for not getting here sooner! Go try it now..... it's not just about Yemeni Coffee, the food is amazing too!

Yemani Adni tea was good, but unfortunately was pre mixed with sugar - no other choice was possible. Appetizer of a breaded chicken Sandwitch was OK, the hummus left a lot to be desired.

I will give it another try after they have run the place for a few months and hopefully improved.
