    I'm hooked on this food. I can't wait to go back. It's just around the corner from brookshires next to subway.

    Server was very nice. Our water was always full, salad was fresh, yummy and came out quick. Food…read morewas super fresh and tasty. The lamb kebab platter was absolutely delicious, moist meat with super soft rice, squash and grilled onions were an amazing addition. The rice pudding was super refreshing, sweet and yummy. Great bang for your buck!

    I'd been craving pastitsio (Greek lasagna) and moussaka for a while, and after searching around, I…read morefinally 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.

    Andalous is one of my favorite places to eat in Arlington. It's a cafeteria style restaurant with…read moremany combo plates, salads, meats, veggies and more. A while back I went and the vegetable combo had gone up to $20! Now it's back down to $16 so I'm back. The food is as good as ever. Homemade everything. Two versions of hummus, regular and spicy, and both are delicious! Tatziki, tabouli and garbanzo salad as well as stuffed grape leaves, chicken and beet salad. And hot sides are also available on the veggie plate! Rice pilaf, roasted cauliflower, eggplant and several more. The cauliflower was amazing! If you get a meat they have many but the tenderloin kabab ("beef kabab"") was a huge hit at my table. Cooked to perfection on the charcoal grill. Just fabulous. They've got shwarma, gyro sandwiches and even more delicious meats and the freshest vegetables. The pita bread is fresh from the oven- a steaming hot pillow of goodness. They have several types of canned and bottled drinks including yogurt drink and San Pelligrino, a couple of iced teas, lemonade and various fountain drink choices. No alcohol here. If you have never been, go and if you've been, go back because it's definitely worth the visit. It is a great place to enjoy tasty homemade Lebanese, Mediterranean and Greek food. Oh! One final note: the staff is friendly and welcoming. I felt so comfortable and relaxed because they really make you feel at home .

    My husband and I love Mediterranean food. We had been looking forward to giving this place a try…read more I had the beef kabob, rice, Greek salad and zucchini. The beef and rice were delicious. The salad was ok. The zucchini was loaded with cilantro. I hate cilantro. Very disappointed in that. My husband's food on the other hand was a big let down. He had Greek salad, zucchini, eggplant, lamb shank and curry chicken. Zucchini - he doesn't like cilantro either. The eggplant was too bitter to eat. The lamb shank was very tender but flavorless. The curry chicken was dry, despite being in a sauce and flavorless. And to add insult to injury both meats came with a hefty upcharge.
