I'd been craving pastitsio (Greek lasagna) and moussaka for a while, and after searching around, I finally found a few places that served them -- Al Wadi being one of them. It's not exactly close to me, but the menu convinced us to give it a try. My husband went with the buffet and enjoyed the variety -- hummus, gyro, salad, and pita bread -- and felt the price was a great value for what was offered. I ordered the pastitsio. It wasn't quite the same as the versions I've had in Chicago, where I've enjoyed both homemade and restaurant-made versions. This one was still enjoyable, but not as flavorful as I remembered. The béchamel sauce was creamy, though I felt it needed a bit more seasoning, and the tomato sauce leaned a little too soupy for my taste. I took the moussaka to go. It had a very similar flavor profile to the pastitsio, but instead of pasta, it featured layers of eggplant and ground beef. It was comforting and hearty, though the flavors felt a bit repetitive between the two dishes. The cheese bread that came with both the pastitsio and moussaka was really good -- warm, soft, and a great pairing with the meal. Service was fantastic -- friendly and attentive -- and the space, while small, had a cozy, homey feel. Overall, I'm glad I finally got my pastitsio fix, and it was a pleasant experience. read more

I had the lunch buffet on a Sunday afternoon. Another person at the table ordered the Moussaka. The buffet was not huge, but had many of the Mediterranean items I was looking for. Everything was pretty good, and priced very reasonably. Sunday lunch buffet was $18. The ambiance is clean, cozy and charming. Not fancy, but welcoming. The Turkish coffee was excellent. read more

I love this family owned BYOB café we had the baby ganache and the Awadi dip They were both very tasty and generous size portions prices here are very reasonable many options to choose from even some cool non alcoholic drinks.

Just off Harwood, this excellent lunch or dinner place was beautiful with excellent Mediterranean and Indian dishes. With excellent service and environment, and most days a buffet for discovering your favorites. Great spice levels in veggie dishes as well as chicken and lamb choices. read more

I don't think there's anything here that I don't like. Personally, the chicken Shawarma salad is my favorite.

It was ok. Not bad at all, nothing really bad to say about it and the people seemed nice but with several other similar restaurants in the area, I have had fresher, better Middle Eastern/Greek elsewhere. read more

As a family we love this place and are so happy to have a great Mediterranean option near home! There's nothing we haven't loved in the menu. You can go for every staple and keep it in the fridge for dips and add-ons to home cooked meals. They're timely with every order and though we don't eat in house very often, the space is lovely! read more

Great food, authentic just like ur Greek grandma used to make. A nice surprise for Mediterranean food in DFW. read more

Amazing food, it is fresh, light and delightful. There are a lot of places that call themselves Greek, Lebanese, Mediterranean...but this place truly deserves. 4 of us went there. We had Mezze platter, Moussaka, Falafel, Fattoush and kebab platters. For dessert it was Baklava and Rice Pudding, it was all good. The service was very friendly and prompt. read more

Delicious Lebanese and Greek food served at a family-run restaurant. I love the pita wraps for a reasonably priced lunch - try it "Al Wadi" style (+ hummus and tabbouleh) with a small basket of crispy fries. For dinner, bring your own bottle of beer or wine to enjoy with dinner on the small patio. An order of baklava is a must - if I'm too stuffed to eat it at the restaurant, I take it home to enjoy with coffee the next morning. Food is always fresh and service is always friendly. read more

This place is the bomb y'all, best Lebanese Egyptian food I ever had, just perfect hummus and tabbouleh.

Gotta tell ya ! This place is amazing! Seriously. Nice buffet with plenty of options and choices . We were hungry so we tried many many items and all were good . Great food and service read more

Amazing! They have a buffet and a menu options. My waitress was amazing and made sure that I was well taken care of.

This is a clean, basic Mediterranean eatery with excellent food. BYOB. Good menu selection. I had a lamb shank plate with an extra side of green beans. Best shank I've had in a while. Nobody is in a huge hurry here and that's really nice. I was with a group of three others and everyone enjoyed the food. The menu is easy to maneuver with good selections. Mom and Pop places are usually the best. read more

This family run restaurant and middle eastern market is a gem. Our family and I have been dining here for 20 years and they are just consistently great Greek and Middleastern food. They are still open for takeout and please stop in to support them. I just had takeout from here last night and it was just superb, with left overs. Right now it's a husband and wife team only keeping things alive, but they keep cranking out mama's Lebanese recipes. I so hope that the future will allow their buffet to return because it's wonderful. Please give them a call. Best gyro and falafel you'll ever taste. read more

Hadn't been here in almost 4 years, and it didn't disappoint! Pita was fresh and warm, hummus smooth and tasty. House salad dressing fresh and lite. Lamb kabobs cooked to perfection with seasoned tender cubes of lamb and shrimp kabob just as tasty--and the shrimp were not dry or chewy at all! We will he back again soon, so sure! read more

Well, this proved to be a disappointment of rather epic proportions. As I had a hankering for a Greek salad and as the Best Ever Greek Salad sadly went away with Bizzi's around the corner on Harwood closing, I poured over YELP reviews last evening looking for an offering here in NE Tarrant county that we had not yet sampled. As the reviews on YELP were very good with at least one recommending the Greek salad we decided to give Al Wadi a whirl today. On Saturday at 12:30 PM we were initially the only occupied table. By the time we left two more tables were occupied. We wanted the addition of chicken to the salad and as I'm hearing impaired and could not understand the explanation of the chicken options my wife did the ordering and the chicken that we chose to top the salad proved to be the consistency of coarsely ground beef. This is not a complaint. We ordered it. Just a report, although I would not recommend it as it was not in that consistency a very enjoyable addition to the salad at all. The Romaine was fresh and crisp and the salad consisted of the usual red onion, tomatoes, kalamata olives, very nice small cucumber rounds (Persian?), fresh feta cheese, and one whole pepperoncini. The dressing, however, was nothing like any Greek salad dressing we've ever had before. Very nondescript and bland. I would have never guessed this was a Greek salad if were served to me blind. It was palatable enough, but not enjoyable. The greatest disappointment however (and disappointment is a generous comment) was in the half chicken we ordered to go, to take home for supper. When we got home and I opened the container to take a look my first words were "Sam's Warehouse rotisserie chicken!" Upon sampling it I said, "Maybe even some discount grocery store rotisserie chicken". If not, it is definitely an identical clone of a commercial rotisserie chicken. But with this one one exception: it was so dried out and tough as to be inedible. I tried. It was tough as leather. In 72 years I have never had chicken like this. Not even when I was, like, grilling drunk or something. And $13.00! So, I dunno. Every store has it's off days and meals. And there are lots of great reviews here. So give it a try it for yourself and let us know. read more

Great neighborhood find. Grocery store next door is worth a visit as well. All food well prepared. This was my first visit. My son and wife eat there frequently and have yet to be disappointed. Will definitely go back. read more
