Excellent food. I've been ordering lunch, dinner, and even corporate catering from this restaurant since it used to be Kebab Fusion in Morristown when i worked a few streets away. But they moved to Madison under their new name Biladi Grill - that still didn't stop me from eating here at least once a month, if not more. My best friends and i make a girls night out of it, BYOB. Liquor store across the street. We have even brought our children a few weekends and the owners are always playing with them and making them feel welcome.
The ambiance is warm and cozy, lights low and music mellow. The food is consistently Fresh and Delicious! I live at least 30 miles away and I don't hesitate to drive the distance for the food. I've eaten almost everything on the menu, from the soups, to the Egyptian style falafel, to the shwarma and desserts. My favorite latest addition to the menu is the cilantro jalapeno hummus. It was so good with the warm grilled pita that we even took one more to go. I also tried the tomato feta starter which was a perfect blend of fresh tomato and cheese warmed to perfection by the pressed pita.. melt in your mouth goodness. One of my favorite starters is the fattoush salad that comes with crispy fried pita. This salad is large and my friends and i share it with plenty left over. The dressing is fresh and light and absolutely delicious.
I find the cuisine is authentic, cooked to the right temperatures and seasoned just like home. On my latest visit i had the lamb gyro and the meat is so fresh and juicy. The grill toasted pita rolls around the overstuffed filling tenderly without breaking or "sogging" off. The salad topping is fresh and I ate it with both the tzatziki dressing as well as the yummy hot sauce on the table (which I've taken in small containers to go as well!). I've also had the lamb chops, sooo good. Not overdone with fresh veggies on the side, crispy not mushy with a rosemary seasoning that really complimented the chops. The chicken kebabs are another regular dish for me, so juicy and not overly spiced.
Overall this place is definitely 5 stars. I have always been greeted and served by friendly staff. At times the owner has come over to ask how our dinner is, accompanied by a warm handshake. Great for girls dinner out, family lunch, or date night. The weekends get busy so i would recommend reservations. And don't forget the Turkish coffee or cappuccino, both excellent! Normally i don't have room for dessert, however their rice pudding is creamy, sweet, and yummy and the homemade baklava is even better. And can't beat the pricing. They can probably charge more for the quality and experience. Can't wait to go back soon!! read more
