    Lentil soup
    Liz H.

    For appetizers we ordered the falafel and the lentil soup. The lentil soup was pretty good! Great flavor and I recommend it, but the felafel was average ( slightly too crispy) After that we ordered the Three Combo and the Lamb Shank. The Three Combo was a good way to try a little bit of 3 different meats if you are not sure what to order; the kefta meat was the tastiest for me. The lamb shank was tender and the meat effortlessly fell off the bone. The service was great; the guy who attended us was friendly and helpful. Portions are average. Ambiance is okay, a casual little place, background music is fitting. Over all this is a good place to check out.

My husband ordered the chicken kebab meal for $11.99 and it came with a bottle of water or a can of soda. They don't have Fountain drinks here. The portion size was big and it was served in a Styrofoam container, even for dine in which was kind of sad because my food was beautifully plated. Not sure why his wasn't...? The falafel came with delicious pickles, two tahini, sauces, and some tomatoes. I think these are the best falafel I've ever had. They stayed together nicely and they were moist and delicious. I definitely recommend you try these. My soup was excellent. I love lentil soup and this one was seasoned well and the cup was a decent size. I love the pita bread here because it's very thin and holds up well when you make a sandwich. This is great for people who are watching their carb, but still want to have some bread. We had service with a smile and the lady who took our order, brought everything out to our table, and she was really kind and professional. You pay for the food when you order it. The menu seems to have a lot of great items so we'll be back again to try other things. I highly recommend you give this place a try and check out our photos of the menu as well as the videos of the food we ate!

I opted for the chicken shawarma plate, and it was great. Creamy hummus, a light/fresh salad, a good amount of perfectly cooked/seasoned rice, and the fresh shawarma chicken rounded out this great plate. It comes with pitas which was nice for making small sandwiches, and also came with an interesting hot sauce/garlic sauce. The price was fair around 12$, it came with a lot of food so I definitely got my moneys worth, and overall just pleased with the friendliness of the staff. Looking forward to coming back!

It was so hard to decide on what to get so we decided to get 3 of the Al Bawadi Appetizer Sampler Platter which has Falafel, Grape Leaves, Feta Cheese, and homemade Hummus and Baba Ghanouj. Chicken Toshka: Baked pita bread stuffed with chicken shawarma, cheese and garlic spread. Fried Halloumi Cheese And for the main: large mixed kabab platter - shish kabab, kufta kabab, chicken shish tawook, lamb chops, served over our biryani and saffron rice and garnished with fresh parsley and roasted almonds. Lastly, a Grilled Shrimp Kabab Plate. I must say it was a ton of food! And I certainly tried a little of everything. Each bite was good and you couldn't go wrong. I really loved the Chicken Toshka - it was so good and I loved the crunchy baked pita the chicken and cheese was creamy! The servers were nice and very helpful. If you visit, I'm 100% sure that whatevr you order will be good. I thik the next time I visit, I'll order something small so it can be focused. But I will be sure to order the Chicken Toshka.

I've since visited the Niles location several times. The food has always been consistently excellent, but unfortunately the service has never matched the quality of the kitchen. Today's visit was by far the worst. It took over 10 minutes for our server to come to the table to take our order. Throughout the meal, I had to repeatedly flag her down whenever we needed something. To make matters worse, she seemed to disappear halfway through dinner--I'm assuming she clocked out--because we had to get another server's attention just to receive basic assistance. The food, however, was fantastic. I ordered the Al Bawadi Seafood Mixed Grill, and it absolutely delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. That's what makes this so frustrating. This restaurant serves some of the best Middle Eastern food in the area, but when you're paying premium prices, you expect service that matches the quality of the food. I still recommend the food without hesitation, but the consistently poor service at the Niles location is making it harder to justify returning.

Actually is a pretty good amount of food. The prices are okay for portions. Coming here this is where we knew to go. It's one of the few places in the food court that isn't fast food or other chains typically in a mall. This is one of those places you order at the counter and they make it in front of you. A lot of options to choose from. Prices are okay for what you get it seems. It's about $3 for a lemonade. These come in a few flavors including mint. Had a minty tangy taste to it. The food is a choice of bowls, pitas, or salads along with choice of protein such as beef, chicken, or falafel. It's about $12 for the Falafel Bowl. This has almost unlimited toppings so I had them pile on these. Choose various sauces and vegetables to add. This was actually pretty filling so the name makes sense to be honest. Has to be the best place in the food court. It's located on the top floor. There's plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

    I wanted Falafill to be better than it was…read more.. As a Mediterranean food enthusiast. I was very excited to see this as an option in the woodfield mall. The line was pretty long which gave me an indication that it was popular/good. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered their Falafel bowl, with rice and a bunch of their available options. You are allowed to select 4 and then every topping after that is $1 per topping. This seems a bit extreme as they are NOT generous when adding your selected ingredients. I was expecting a much larger portion, but understand they are a business and have to manage their margins. The food itself was fine. The falafel were just ok, and had been sitting in a container, lacking the crispiness and freshness I am used to normally. For the extra options, everything tasted fine, I just felt skimped on the portions I was given. The highlight for me was the hot sauce that they offer. It was extremely flavorful and had a nice level of heat. I would buy that by the bottle if It was available. I think Falafill is worth a try, but you just have to manage your expectations. They do not come close to the traditional mediterranean restaurants I am used to visiting, but for mall food it's pretty good.

When we entered the restaurant, if you feel like you're transported into another country, even the background music compliments what you're about to experience It's a dicey kinda place nothing fancy. First you would have to take a look at the menu and place your order at the front. They do not have waiters staff to your table. There are two rooms one that you can sit with the front table to order and another room is full of tables that can also accommodate large parties. The guy was pretty good remembering who ordered what while people were coming in and out, placing orders and sitting down and enjoying their food. To my surprise, the service was quick and friendly we ordered the six piece falafel appetizer which was crispy and hot and the tahini was nice and creamy Hubby enjoyed his grape flavored crush. Haven't had that in a while. When we got our meal hubby ordered the beef and chicken combo shredding pieces on top of rice nice and tender had a lemony taste to it and I had the assorted shredded soft beef on top of seasoned yellow fluffy rice. When we got our meal, it was plenty , especially for the price. We could have shared a plate The meat was nice and tender and the sauce was spot on the season yellow rice yum! I couldn't stop eating the rice, but I had to cause I was getting too full that we had take out containers and can I tell you the leftovers was even better! I overheard one of the customers who was happy with his wrapped meal said compliments to the chef the owner said it is his grandmother who cooked and prepared our food. overall it was a nice experience. Staff was friendly place was clean. Food was good and plenty. I'll definitely come back here again even if it's out of the way, the flavor and the texture of the rice was really good! This was a nice find you don't stumble upon new places like this often so I won't gate keep it. if you like this kind of food and you're picky about your rice then Check it out and enjoy your meal here!
