I have been here for lunch several times as my office is nearby, and the food is always very good. I highly recommend starting with the lentil soup, as it is flavorful and delicious. I typically get the lamb and gyro shawarma sandwich with tzatziki sauce, served with your choice of rice, couscous, salad, or french fries. It is consistently very tasty. I also tried a bite of the tilapia recently and it was also really good and seasoned very well. The food is wonderful and the server, Seif is very nice. The food can take awhile to come out sometimes, depending on the day, but it is worth the wait. read more

Delivery service was prompt and courteous - an "excellent." Can't comment on ambiance as this was delivery. Ample portion sizes for the 2 appetizers - the falafel and the hummus. Enough each to be shared. The pita served with the hummus was cut up into wedges which were still warm and moist. However, the falafel balls were overcooked, and the tahini was so watery I tossed it. (I also tossed out the remaining falafel.) The hummus was nicely textured but over-salted; I didn't finish that either.. The rice pudding - a portion for one - was excellent. Overall, an unremarkable experience. I read more

Came here for dinner last week and ate outside. The server was so friendly! We ordered salmon kebabs which were great. For my son we ordered steak kebabs, it was about $15-$16 for the kebabs without sides, he loved it! We've ordered delivery a few times, always good. We will absolutely continue to dine in and order delivery/ take out! read more

We had lunch at Biladi Grill and it was fabulous! We enjoyed the beef/lamb and chicken shawarma platters. The meats were flavorful and not dry.

Great food option to have in town. I typically get the salmon kebab meal or one of the salmon entrees. We also often get the steak Kebab for my son. The food is always consistent and good. We have eaten there a couple times, but they also deliver as well, which we have done on several different occasions. read more

Ordered the shawarma meat platter with beef and chicken (5/5). You get two sides and had Mediterranean salad which was fresh and had perfect amount of dressing. Tried the bulgar instead of rice and it was fantastic! Smaller restaurant that was filled up with people and it's like that for a reason, highly recommend! read more

My partner and I visited Biladi Grill on a whim with a bottle of wine in hand. There's a liquor store right across the street, so you can take advantage of their BYOB option. The restaurant is rather narrow inside, but you're still separated enough from others to enjoy your dining experience. You definitely get the impression of it being a family-style of business, which only adds to the coziness of the space. The menu has a perfect variety of items to choose from, especially with vegetarian/vegan options. The service was prompt and we were able to place our order with ease. Once our food arrived, we were delighted to dig in--everything was seasoned well and the portion sizes were plentiful. read more

This place is friendly open area and the food is terrific. I wanted a small lunch and got a fabulous Tabouleh salad with flaffels. It was perfect. The waitress and cook were helpful and clearly proud of their family restaurant. Nice attention to detail and super tasty food. I'll be back with family. read more

First time trying this restaurant. Loved the salmon kabobs! Chicken kabobs were great too. Both top quality salmon/chicken breast and both cooked perfectly. Rice was good too. Will be back! read more

Solid 4.5/5 restaurant! Had it delivered to me due to the pandemic and it arrived within the hour. Not sure how I did not discover this place before but it definitely really good Mediterranean food. 1. Gyro - Loads of meat. Asked for the sauce on the side. Good for lunch or dinner! 2. Lamb plate - Came with salad and I chose fries. Lamb was good, smaller pieces but very flavorful. Salad was good but not great. Some of the dressing was salty. The fries were oily and out of this world. Overall, I'm definitely trying other things on their menu! read more

Biladi Grill was amazing. The owners were so kind and happy that we came to visit the restaurant. The weather was nice enough to sit outside and the street has a really nice town feel. It was during the summer so there were a few bugs outside but the owners were fast acting and got us a candle. The food was absolutely amazing. We had Lamb Chops and they were mouth watering. so good that I wanted to take an order to go! I have to say that the most surprising great thing I experienced was the LEMONADE! It is to DIE FOR. I believe there was mint in it as well. It is also BYOB but there is a store right across the street and there was plenty of street parking. definitely heading back! read more

How was this place? It was f'ing amazing. The food was spot on and they catered to my bazaar food allergies. Excellent choice for this type of cuisine. The inside is very nice and they also have several tables lining the sidewalk. The staff was very nice and service was quick. Glad we found this place. read more

Biladi Grill - Shrimp dish. Can't remember the name. - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

Do it order from here. These people are unethical and should not be in business. We ordered the mixed grill for delivery amount other items, but the mixed grill at $30 was meant to be our main dish and it was not enough of a serving for one person. They were unapologetic when we called to follow up. Food quality also isn't worth the money. read more

The food was first rate. The eggplant babaganoush was flavorful and went well with the many triangles of pitas offered. The salmon was cooked to perfection with charring on the top. The rice was fresh and not instant. Shrimp and couscous were done well as well as the accompanying salad and vegetables. The service was good and the staff friendly. We will return to this small gem. read more

Among the best Mediterranean restaurants around. Try their lentil soup and salads. Their shish kabobs are second to none. Friendly and comfortable as well. around. read more

Everything was just delicious! The shawarma platter was tasty and filling as was the rosemary chicken with rice and veggies. It was all very well spiced. It's a very small but inviting space. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. Soft Mediterranean music plays. The staff, who I would guess are the owners, are so nice and take care to make sure you have everything you like. I will be sure to come back when I'm in Madison again. read more

The food here is amazing. We got the baklava, baba ganoush, and I also got the beef and lamb shawarma. Baklava was perfect cut size and sooo yummy. A little messy but good enough to lick your fingers... mmm. It was my first time eating baba ganoush and I am in love. Flavors so good. A little chunkier that I thought but still the flavors were amazing. I got myself the beef and lamb shawarma. It was messy so I just ate it wit ha knife and fork. The beef and lamb had such amazing seasoning. I recommend it! Everything was really good. I will order agaim! read more

We were passing through Madison, NJ and needed food. You can never go wrong with Mediterranean cuisine and Biladi did not disappoint. We ordered on-line directly thru their website...better for them! The service was perfect and the food was delicious. Beyond delicious actually!! Really fresh toppings make a huge difference!!! Wish we lived in the area. We'd be regular customers for sure. Thank you, Biladi. Our Kofta sandwiches were a wonderful treat! read more

It is a small restaurant on a busy street but a diamond in the rough. I like mediterranean food a lot so others may not as much, but the chicken shawarma was perfect. Small pieces that were tender and rice with onions in it-- it was delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try other things and the place is clean and well-lit. read more

It's not every day the entire dinner party gushes over the food and the service. With family in town from Manhattan, they were impressed with the quality and flavors. The salmon was amazing. My daughters are already asking for more of their couscous. Just about everything is made at Biladi from scratch and it shows. Try the lemonade and the rice pudding. I'm already craving them both! read more

Oh boy do we like their food!!! It's so good we always over order. The shepherds salad is great, the paninis are great we've always ordered in by hands down one of my favorite middle eastern restaurants in the area. read more

Absolutely delicious food and great service. The outdoor dining was perfect with umbrellas and a heater. Loved the homemade lemonade too!

Went with the mixed grilled platter (with veggies and salad). Chose the kofta, chicken shawarma, shish kabob. The serving size was definitely on the smaller side in comparison to platters from places like grillera. Still cooked well, but the chicken was extremely peppery. Not bad overall but probably better options in the area read more

Amazing food!! We got the sampler to try out more apps. We tried Saksuka and roasted potatoes for the first time and it was beyond delicious. So flavorful and fresh. The labneh was on point and the falafel were fresh and crispy. Our tabouli salad (no picture bc we dig right in) was extremely well made. Super fresh veggies and parsley tasted great bc of the right amount of acidity from lime/lemon juice. What a great meal!!! And finally to top it off the dessert was different - I have had kunafa/kunefe before but this was a bit different. The inside filling had a minty taste. It was really good!! I was a little skeptical when I cut it and saw little green dry herbs but it was surprisingly good. Definitely try if you are in the mood for different! 5 star customer service as well. We will be coming here again and again! read more

Real authentic homemade food! Me and my fiancé got the tomato feta cheese pita bread, calamari, and lentil soup as our appetizers. Everything was spot on delicious! Made from scratch but surprisingly it was not a long wait. For our entree I had the lamp chops and he had the Biladi salmon. The meat was tender and juicy full of flavor and the sauce on the salmon was to die for! Definitely recommend this place if you're in Madison! read more

My fiancée and I found Biladi's last night through Yelp after a shopping trip to Short Hills Mall. Having grown up in the Detroit area, I appreciate and love Mediterranean cuisine. The flavors, spices and passion fill the senses. Biladi Grill exceeds my expectations. Delicious food, friendly service and great value. We shared the lentil soup, tabbouleh salad and lamb chop and shawarma dinner. Topped off with generous portion baklava for dessert. Everything at Biladi was delicious. Will be back!! read more

Biladi Grill - Baklava - Mediterranean Near Me - Madison, New Jersey

It was with my wife's recommendation that we visited Biladi Grill in Madison this past week. prior to arriving we called our order in, we had originally decided to eat in the car however, once we arrived we noticed some tables outside with an array of trees spaced out in front directly on the street witch immediately caught my eye. Once we approached the restaurant we were greeted by Anthony we asked if the tables were available with the most welcoming greeting I have ever experienced Anthony sat us. Anthony brought our food to the table when it was ready. Once the Shawarmas accompanied by some delicious fries .. arrived we went to town on these delicious Shawarmas, WOW they were something to talk about I can't imagine never hearing about this place before. after some small talk with Anthony we learned that he was the owner , we inquired about the origin of the foods he served and we were very impressed how much detail he put into making his delightful and delicious food from scratch. My family and I will sure be going back !! Real Soon!! Enjoy life!! Eat Shawarmas !!! Thank you Anthony and family ..... read more

We decided we wanted Mediterranean and to try a new place which took us to Madison and Biladi Grill. The restaurant itself was small and quaint on the Main Street of Madison. We sat by the window but the person servicing us lacked any enthusiasm or interest in servicing us. We ordered the Sampler Platter to start with and for entrees, we ordered Mixed Grill Platter, Shawarma entree and Salmon Kebabs. The Sampler Platter was DELICIOUS and hands down the BEST part of the meal. You can choose 3 items for your platter- we chose hummus, saksuka, and falafel and we loved all 3!! The pita bread was fresh, soft and warm. We had mixed feelings about the Mixed grill. The Kofta was average. The chicken kofta was on the dry side. The chicken kebab was ok again, a little on the dry side. The beef and lamb shwarma was good but, not over the top. The Salmon Kebab was the best plate that we enjoyed with the salmon perfectly grilled - moist, flavorful and tender. My boys loved the rice that was one of the side options and the sautéed veggies were very good. Additional help came in and the service improved by the end of the meal. Given the good reviews, the day may have been an off day. I would definitely give the restaurant another chance and try it again!!! read more

This is our go to local restaurant. Food is great. Very flavorful. Folks treat you like family. BYOB.

Been here twice and both times were excellent. The most recent meal was actually perfect. I enjoyed the chicken kabob with salad and couscous with a plate of the roasted rosemary potatoes for the table. My lady friend equally enjoyed her seasoned shrimp. One of those places that offers food that is healthy and tasty. Also very nice owners and staff. read more

Solid Middle Eastern cuisine. This BYOB is kind of small and tight, but cozy. The waitress was nice and attentive, despite having to wait on a lot of tables at the same time. On to the food! Appetizers 1. Felafel - I'll admit I'm not really a felafel expert, but I've had better and I've had worse, so this one was probably about average. It was crispy on the outside and had some spiciness to the inside, which was interesting. The sauce helped with the dryness. 2. Lentil Soup - My wife enjoyed it and I thought it was pretty good. Again had a little bit of spiciness. 3. Moussaka - This was really good and my wife liked it, too. According to their menu, it is "layers of ground beef, potatoes, sliced eggplant topped with a creamy cheese béchamel sauce baked to a golden perfection". Entrees: 1. Chicken Shawarma (gyro) - This was really tasty. I suppose it could have used some more chicken, but it was satisfying. My wife liked it, too. 2. Mediterranean wrap - My wife thought it was OK, but not as tasty as the shawarma gyro. Prices were decent, so it's a good local spot for Madison. I'll be back for sure next time I'm in the mood. They also deliver, $15 minimum. read more

We are the only table at 1:00pm on Saturday. It is a really quite place while staff and owners are studying next to us. This is the most expensive Mideast restaurant we ever visited. The starter pita is hot and tasty. Our platters of lamb, chicken, and beef kabab are chucky and large. The meat were perfectly cooked, tender inside and charcoaled outside. The saltiness is well balanced with meat flavor. A good stop for lunch. read more

It pains to do this but I have since been to Biladi Grill 2x in the past 2 weeks and each time the food was inedible. It was over seasoned to a point that if I scraped off the seasoning I would be able to fill up a salt shaker (exaggerating but not really). The chicken was gross...fatty and chunky tasting... The lamb, which my wife loved, was over seasoned (both times) and stringy. I really liked this place months ago but it has gone down hill...we have officially crossed this off our return lists. Plus it was expensive...$35 for two kebabs...which would be lunch size portions elsewhere. No thanks... read more

Frankly, the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. I'm used to tiny little storefronts that make falafel sandwiches in front of you -- and I don't even mind that so much because I like falafels. But this was many steps above that in taste and class. As noted in another review, the food is very fresh. I get wonderfully tasty hummus with grilled pita to start, and my falafel sandwich (wrapped in a nice thick pita, not a supermarket-bought thin pita pocket) was crisp and yummy with great sauce and spices. I particularly like the red sauce they serve on the tables. Spicy and very flavorful. What's really nice is the ambiance and the friendliness of the father-son team who run the place. And the prices are very reasonable -- the only thing less expensive is pizza. My wife and I will be regulars for a long time. read more

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the service. Four customers who ordered after me all got their food before me, and my food was similar to theirs. The food was delicious. I ordered the falafel platter which I chose to have with rice and couscous. I have no complaints about the food at all. However I had to ask the waiter when my food was coming out and he said "it's coming now, there was a mix up". Had I gotten my food in a timely manner, I would have given this place 5 stars. They didn't even offer to give me something for free (a piece of baklava wouldn't have been a bad idea). read more
