FYI only at the bar does this menu exist. Reservations online is easy to book for a table. This property is beautiful. Open and covered patio. Waterfalls and beautiful flowers surround the area. Plenty of covered tables to block the sun. Inside has bar area , restaurant area and party area. Building is spacious and sultry lit. Bar area has plenty of seating. Staff friendly. I ordered off the happy hour menu chicken slider which were meaty and fresh. Caesar salad and a lavender martini. This meal was 20 bucks. Worth every cent.

But there was a waiter that when I requested butter for the bread came a little too late as everyone else ate the bread. He just got us more bread- that was a nice touch. They also had a special bday card on the table. The food was good. We ordered bread, salad soup, and our main was the beef medallions. The bread was good. Came with a butter beurreblanc i didnt care for. But thats ok bc the waiter brought me regular butter. The steak was good but i didnt love the sauce. Salad was nice & they split our portions as we were sharing the salad. Overall good experience. Worst part was the restaurant was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. It was a weekend evening so maybe week days are better???

Great restaurant - attentive service, great food'…read more We first learned of Aldar from the Ian Froeb review in the Post-Dispatch and he gave it a recommended rating, and we agree! We called ahead and Khalid answered the phone and confirmed that many items on the menu are gluten free, and with that we were on our way. The restaurant is in the shopping complex with the Wildwood Schnucks, on Old Manchester just near the intersection with Manchester / Hw 100. There were many other guess when we arrived and by time we left it was almost filled. Aldar means house and the team there makes you feel like you are home - thank you to Khalid and the team for making us so welcome! When they seat you, they bring a bowl of soup. It's the lamb soup mentioned by Froeb in his review: "There isn't any meat in this -- maybe a scant shred -- but lamb's grassy, funky flavor is unmistakable. The cloudy broth sticks to your lips and tongue, a texture patiently coaxed from bones. A peppery accent builds subtly and then not so subtly. The gracious welcome and that heat linger over the rest of your meal." The menu has many items, some veg, others with lamb, chicken and/or beef. Tonight my wonderful wife and I shared an order of lamb chops... amazing... the chops tender inside and nicely browned on the outside... atop (long grain) mandy rice, with fried onions, also tomato and cucumber salad and a side of favored yogurt / yoghourt. So so so good. I saw other tables had a large piece of bread... roughly the side of a large pizza, toasted in a hot oven to make many air bubbles in the crust - it looked so good. I asked for a small piece of the bread only wanting a little, and Khalid still brought a while order... some for the table and some I took home. Two TVs were on, one showing videos of cooking the recipes, the other some of the beautiful countryside and beaches of Yemen. We look forward to returning soon!

To me, the name Ian Froeb is synonymous with quality eats in the Saint Louis area. I read his…read moreweekly reviews via email newsletter from the Post Dispatch. I used to read his reviews in the Riverfront Times religiously. So when he praises any eatery in the region, I quickly put in on my tbe (to-be-eaten) list. Such was the case with Aldar Yemeni Cuisine. My wife, daughter, and I found ourselves in Wildwood this weekend following a scheduled visit to a Chesterfield play place for the kiddo. We needed a visit to nature after being surrounded by countless, screaming toddlers. After an hour at Castlewood State Park, it was time for some late afternoon vittles. The recent review of Aldar flashed in my mind as we loaded into the daddy-van. The wife agreed some Yemeni cuisine sounded delightful and we were on our way. Jump ahead to our table at the new restaurant, which was doing some brisk business at a time in the afternoon (3:00:ish) when most restaurants are facing a lull, even on a Saturday. That was our first good sign. The menu contains a plethora of Yemeni and Mediterranean choices, ranging from pita and hummus to baklava and tres leches cake. As is typical with me, I asked the server what they recommended. The Mandy Chicken was suggested, and I could sense some true passion from the server about the dish, so that was my selection. My wife chose the Mixed Grill Combo, and our daughter, being the typical four-year-old, brightened as soon as she saw the chicken nuggets on the menu. No amount of begging could convince her to try something even slightly more authentic. We were delighted by the lamb broth that was presented gratis at the beginning of the meal, along with a bowl of spicy Sahawaq, which the server explained could act as a condiment through the entire meal. It was indeed a delicious condiment. The broth was equally delicious; very soothing and comforting, despite the hot temperature outdoors. Now on to that Chicken Mandy. Wow. It's half a chicken with crispy skin and tender meat served with turmeric basmati rice and some raw vegetables for texture contrast. All the components were made even better with the addition of the Sahawaq. This was the perfect introduction to Yemeni cuisine. The portion was generous enough that I had breakfast for Sunday morning. I was very tempted to try some other, sweeter, items on the menu as well. The baklava, coffees, and smoothies were calling out to me. But I decided, perhaps against my better judgement, to use my craving for something sweet as a reason to return soon, as if we needed another reason beyond that crispy, flavorful chicken. Only two criticisms for Aldar; the beef portion of the Mixed Grill Combo was bland and dry. I only had a small taste and my wife assured me she was enjoying it slathered with the Sahawaq, but I was not impressed. The other, very small, critique was that the table and benches we were seated at were too far apart. I had to sit forward through the whole meal and felt the journey from plate to mouth was too far to be comfortable. It was an even bigger struggle for our daughter, who had to really stretch those short arms to reach her plate. Other than those two minor issues, everything else was near perfect. Five stars to the food, service, ambience, value, portion sizes, cleanliness, and overall experience. We will certainly be back as soon as we can. Thank you, Mr. Froeb, for another great suggestion, via your great reviews.

However, I returned for meetings last week, and this was a "must-visit" stop for me. CBW is exactly as I remember it, with an even bigger menu! I always get a Chicken Caesar wrap or a buffalo chicken wrap. Both are equally exceptional. They are full of fried chicken, which pairs perfectly with the rice. Just absolutely delicious. Frankly, fast food can be salty and inconsistent. CBW is neither! I should have ordered an extra sandwich to take home with me. I also ordered an egg roll, which was alright. Not exceptional, but ok. The service was exceptional. It's quick and their restaurants are clean! The fact is, this place leaves you full, without feeling like you just took in empty calories. I hope someday you go national. It's a great concept.

Since it was late and I didn't want anything heavy, I thought to give this place a try.

I decided to get a side of Parmesan crusted chicken, a side Caesar, and a side of the cheese bread. All were so good and kept me full. Additionally, it's nice to be able to get something small, yet filling, and not feel guilty!

Few fast casual restaurants offer feta. I should try one of the salads sometime, but when I'm here, I'm famished, and I want the maximum carbs. The food is good. The employees are always friendly and they seem happy. I usually bus my own dishes, but recently staff has stepped in to take care of those for me. That saves me half a minute and make the experience more of that of a restaurant. I see our late, great Yelper Patt C also reviewed Noodles and Company after having sold items to Scotman's Coin a few businesses down. I have stopped at Noodles when I go to Scotsman's, so I follow in the footsteps of a Yelp giant. (I wish we could meet up at the FroYo in the same parking lot, Patt!) Turning left out of the parking lot is difficult and can take some time. Turn right and turn again at the next light.

The menu is plentiful and has so many different sandwich, and salad options to choose from. I was contemplating between the chicken bacon ranch wrap and the Cubano. I opted to get the cubano. My sandwich came with slow roasted pork, ham,Swiss cheese, deli mustard and pickles. I got mine on white bread. They put the sandwich in the oven to warm it up and melt the cheese, then gets dressed in what ever toppings you want. I chose to keep mine as is. The pork needs a little more seasoning, but over all, it was delicious. The meat was very tender, bread was so fluffy and soft. The deli mustard was not too tangy. I also grabbed a lemon cheesecake cookie. It was soft, chewy and had cheesecake pieces incorporated into it. I would definitely get that again. Plenty of seating inside and seating on the patio. It is noisy inside so if you're looking for a quieter place, i would take my food to go. The parking lot can become busy and congested due to it being in a plaza with other businesses. I will be back to try other sandwiches!
