Every detail has been paid attention to not only in the food but also in the decorum. My favorite dish is the beef koobedideh. The sauce provided is fantastic!!! The service is from the moment you enter until the moment you leave above and beyond. I mean truly impressive service. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and always welcoming.

It was Mother's Day weekend so I will offer some slack. I will start with saying that they need to…read morehave a pleasant well organized hostess at the door. I think the owner may have been at the door that day and seemed a bit frazzled (understandable). Also, a sign that says please wait here to be seated. When we arrived we didn't know where to stand so we went to the other side of the front desk and were somewhat scolded and redirected to go back around and wait. It was pointed out there was another family waiting to be seated. Hmm. But it was a busy day so we let that go. Fortunately we didn't wait long to be seated. The waiter, although not to experienced, was trying hard and answered all our questions. When we placed our order we were informed several items were not available. Hmmm. It was still early in the day, how do you not have the items. We ordered humus. DELICIOUS!!! Spanish Octopus with white rice, combination plate with lamb, steak and chicken plus the white rice, and finally lamb chops with white rice. Problem the octopus was served first it had superb flavor and not rubbery at all. That was my son's meal. Then about 5 mins later came my meal, the combination which was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was moist!! Finally 5-10 mins later the waiter came and told my daughter that the kitchen failed to tell him there were no lamb chops. So disappointed. They apologize and she ordered the combination plate which came about 10 minutes later. Needless to say my son and I were done with our meal. Problem: initially when we got the hummus we ate it but had to drink water because our drinks didn't come till I got my meal. I reminded the waiter and he explained they had to make the drinks. habiscus water and a mint lemonade. Hmmm Problem: when my son got his octopus, he didn't get a knife and I had to give him my steak knife so he could cut his octopus legs. Finally when we got the bill, we were being charged for the lamb chops!!! Needless to say Al Bahar was recommended by Albawadi Grill waitress. And yes the food is terrific! Even the white rice makes my mouth water. But the service and consistency needs much improvement. Although the waiter apologized, at no time were we offered some type of compensation for all the inconveniences experienced. Not that it's required nor do I expect it but it would've been a nice gesture. The table next to us complained loudly and they were offered free food. We complained subtly and no type of courtesy was extended. Do I recommend. Yes for pick up order the food is scrumptious and No I do not recommend dine in experience. They have much to improve! Goto Al Bawadi instead!! Their food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the humus and fresh made pita unbelievably delicious!

Lastly it was very spacious and clean. 12/10 score and will definitely be coming back! Thank you Sharbell!

We ordered the falafel bowl, a crispy chicken shawarma sandwich, hummus, and 5 piece falafel. They fry the falafel to order which is amazing because it will always be fresh and crispy. Hummus had a good smooth texture and they were very generous with the oil (great quality olive oil) and toppings. The crispy sandwich had a good amount of chicken in it making it very filling. The garlic sauce tasted exactly how it should. Like pure garlic! The restaurant was very clean and they even had gloves at the tables. I love that! Workers were very friendly as well. Overall, I would 100% recommend!

What really concerned me was finding a pickle that looked like it had already been bitten into by someone and then placed back in my food. That is completely unacceptable and made me lose my appetite immediately. I contacted the restaurant about the issue, but they refused to refund me or properly resolve the problem. I would not order from here again

The fries were very fresh. My husband had the lentil soup, Jerusalem salad, falafel and pita bread.overall it was good. The bad, well the pita bread wasn't fresh, authentic which was a bummer. The assorted baklava wasn't fresh absolutely terrible omg. Very dry and way too much sugar. It wasn't good at all. We actually left it behind. I believe it's outsourced so that's definitely no bueno.

I had a little bit of trouble finding the door to get in because they are doing a little bit of construction. A rally friendly fella pointed me into the right direction.

These folks are an hour away from where I live and now that we have eaten everything that I bought.... I'm trying to figure out how soon I can get back there! The chocolate baklava was my favorite out of everything. I think I am gonna need a truckload of that when I go back there.
