He allegedly checked everything and than i left. Arrived home and was starving i open the boxed and completely dissatisfied immediately i unwrapped the whole chickens and they had a very strange stench, the rice and meat was just completely wrong, they wanted to compensate after forgetting my french fries, with an extra side of rice like that was going to do anything. So i drive back down to the store come home again and then Open the french fries and they were completely burnt / over cooked no taste whatsoever then He offered me a large yellow rice that literally looked like it was eaten from or somebodys left overs. Im absolutely disgusted and will never step foot in this place ever again. I really dont care if this review nakes them look bad or not. I work hard for my money, and we are in the year of 2026 for a business to have such terrible service where everyone cuts in line infront of you, to the messy unsanitary countertops to the terrible flavors if the food its disgusting!!! And just a word of advice when you open a Lebanese restaurant employ a Lebanese chef who understands the quality and texture and flavor profile of Lebanese authentic food!! No offense to all countries! But Lebanese food carries its traditional and authentic flavors and it's own way of cooking and nore importantly taste!!! Later that night we continuisly threw up during the entire night and went to be checked and were told it was food poisoning!!! I am honest to god extremely disappointed and never ever going back to this place again!

We haven't tried too much Yemeni food in the past and wanted to expand our horizons a bit. Aldaar…read moreseemed like a promising bet, given the feature in the Metro Times a couple of months ago. We decided to stop by for a late lunch over the weekend and as we walked in, we found the restaurant to be pretty empty, with only one other party eating. After we picked a table and sat down, the waitress came over and spread a sheet of plastic on top - I believe Yemeni food is traditionally communal and eaten with the hands, so it helps to contain any mess. While the waitress wasn't able to answer all of the questions that we had (and we had a number of them, given that we aren't too familiar with this cuisine), she was very friendly and patient while we were trying to determine what to order. We went in with the express intent of getting the fahsa, and then yielded to her recommendation for the second dish. Lamb Broth (Complimentary) - Rich, savory, spiced and warming. Just a tad bit of lamb gaminess with small shreds of meat at the bottom of the bowl. Salad (Complimentary) - Mixed chopped salad of lettuce, tomato, red onion, and red cabbage. The diced tomato has all of the seeds taken out so it doesn't make the salad watery. There's no dressing added; instead, they give you a slice of lemon that you can squeeze on top to give some fresh and aromatic acidity. I never would have thought to use straight lemon juice as dressing, but it works surprisingly well. Fahsa ($17.99) - Like all other fahsa, this is served piping hot and bubbling in a stone pot. The fahsa is fantastic, with deeply savory shredded lamb mixed with just a tiny bit of tomato and other vegetables. We didn't request it, but the waitress gave us hilba on the side since she wasn't sure if we would like it or not. And yes, we did try it by itself before dumping and mixing it into the meat. The hilba, made of fenugreek mixed with herbs, is slimy and gooey, almost like a blended okra. The taste is quite earthy and a bit vegetal. I don't think it's something I would ever eat by itself, but it mixes perfectly into the fahsa, adding nice herbal notes to counteract some of the fattiness of the meat. (5/5) Chicken Mandi w/ Rice, Half ($16.99) - The half chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender, like it's been slowly cooked for hours upon hours. The spice mixture lends a fiery red color to the skin and seeps into the meat, giving an orange hue on the interior. The chicken is served on a large bed of rice. Half of it is brown colored, with a deep cardamon and cinnamon taste, and the other half is a yellow rice that's spiced pleasantly, but not nearly as much as the brown. The yellow rice is mixed with sultana, adding a burst of fruity sweetness. Both are perfectly cooked, fluffy with an al dente bite. We find that a lot of places don't give nearly enough rice for the amount of meat - here they give you more than enough. Even the heaviest carb lover should be satisfied. (4/5) Rashush ($2.99) - This thing is massive, probably something around 20+ inches across and is served fresh right from the oven/tanoor. It has some very distinct layers that are able to flake off and tastes slightly buttery. The thinner areas are crisped up from the heat of the oven, while the thicker layers are more chewy resembling a texture of a nice pita. It's sprinkled with nigella seeds, giving the bread a rich earthiness. Overall super delicious and the perfect vessel for the fahsa and mandi. We saw another table get the double rashush and holy cow is that thing huge. I'm talking like 2.5 or 3 feet across. I have no idea how they cook a flatbread that big. (5/5) Everything is served with sahawig, which in this instance is served unmixed, with the bottom layer a salsa-like chopped tomato mixture, and a topping of what seems to be blended jalapenos. Quite spicy, but adds a nice fresh herbal taste to all the food. As we ate over about an hour, the restaurant started getting more and more full - in fact by the time we left, it was almost completely full, with additional people waiting in front of the register to pick up takeout orders. One thing we noticed was that there was one party of only women, and they had a folded screen door blocking their view from the rest of the tables (the other tables were men only). I wonder if that's a cultural thing? We found the food at Aldaar to be exceptionally delicious, and were especially impressed with the massive rashush. We will be back in the future to try more of the offerings - I'm especially looking forward to the maloog and rateb breads on the menu. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. The women's room has a changing table. Note: As with most other more traditional restaurants in the area, they do not have ice water on tap. Pay for bottled water/drinks only. Overall rating of the food this visit: 4.67/5

Visited for lunch last month and wasn't impressed at all. When we walked in, every table except for…read moreone had not been bussed clean. By the time we left, only two tables had been cleared. Hire a busser, first and foremost. Walking into a dirty restaurant doesn't make for the best first impression. Sitting in it for forty-five minutes only lowers that impression. Our waitress was nice. This place is pretty pricey compared to a lot of restaurants around here. A lunch special was around $15 and came with entree, rice, and soup or salad. We ordered the deboned chicken lunch with rice and chicken lemon rice soup. My husband also got a lunch fattoush salad. Soup and salad came up quick. I really enjoyed the CLR soup. It was light and tangy and full of chicken. My husband loved his fattoush salad. Our entree came up not long after. The chicken, while plentiful, was way overcooked. The rice was warn in some spots and cold in others and had random crunchies throughout. Not good. A request for lemon helped the chicken, as did the garlic paste (toum) but still, it shouldn't have come out that dry to begin with. I think my favorite part of the meal was the fresh bread and toum. I probably won't be coming back. I much prefer the service and food at Baba's Grill when I'm looking for a lunch spot.

Had a team lunch…read more There are some booths when you enter, but a slightly bigger room next to the main area. We were seated at the back of the restaurant. I recalled the dining area and being here a couple of times before, it's been a while since I was last here. We ordered two whole chicken, which comes with two sides, 2 hummus, lentil soup and a falafel sandwich for the group. Was enough food for our group and some leftovers to go too. 3% charge for using a credit card. Do people often use cash here then. I don't recall being charged a credit card fee in the past here. We had plenty of big pita pockets and garlic sauce. Can't have a Lebanese or middle eastern meal without pita, hummus or garlic sauce, right? Chicken was nicely seasoned, it's quite flattened and was a tad burned on the edges though. There was about 5-6 breast of chicken per plate. Still not bad. The falafel sandwich wasn't too bad, the falafel could have been more crispy for my team member. The lentil soup was decent, so was the side of rice. The fattoush with pita chips wasn't super popular with the team, team was more focused on the chicken, rice and hummus. Service was good for us throughout, attentive.
