Visited Al Badawi on Atlantic Avenue with a party of four. We had originally hoped to add a fifth…read moreperson to our reservation, but unfortunately they were unable to accommodate the extra person. Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.

Walking through, you get a nice view of the kitchen area, seeing where the magic happens: an exciting way to start the experience! My group decided to share a few things, all of which were delicious. The vegetable pizza (or "pitza" as they style it) was a huge hit: we loved the crust, with its resonant notes of olive oil, and the mozzarella cheese could not have been fresher. The olives and peppers delightfully balanced the cheese and tomatoes, making for an irresistible flavor profile and mouthfeel. Seriously, do not underestimate this formidable pie! The chicken platter came loaded with grilled chicken, hummus, and salad, along with warm, freshly baked pita. Perfect option for the person that wants to take their time sampling a variety of foods. The leg of lamb sandwich, meanwhile, is ready to be consumed at whatever pace you deem fit: indeed, one of our party devoured it voraciously, no crumbs left behind. And finally, we also worked our way through the large feta salad, which turns out to actually be an enormous platter of crumbled feta with some diced tomatoes on top. Don't order this expecting a leafy green salad, it's all cheese! BUT, do order it so that you can add some tangy feta to everything else on the table. It really makes the flavors pop. My first impression of Bedouin Tent was excellent. Service was great and the prices are very fair for the area. Whether you're seeking a more traditional Mediterranean meal or something with a fusion twist, this is an awesome spot to consider.

The restaurant was pretty spacious with some outdoor seating as well. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered the small babaganoush, hummus, and 3 sandwiches. The small dips were actually a fairly large portion, we didn't finish either. The sandwiches however were a bit on the smaller size, but they were still tasty! The pricing was fairly reasonable, and the ambiance made for a lovely dinner. I'd definitely come back here if I'm back in the area!

The team here is so friendly and they're good at giving you a heads up of how long orders will take. The food is a fantastic deal as you get a lot of it for the price, and it's always perfectly seasoned. What I've tried so far: - the falafel platter - the lamb platter - the steak sandwich - a number of juices and smoothies The falafel platter - INCREDIBLE deal for the amount of food. Only $11 for falafel, a salad, hummus, and pita. The falafel aren't dry and overall they're well seasoned. The only thing this is missing is their rice (which is amazing on its own). The lamb platter - I like this included super flavorful rice. Generous portion of meat. Definitely heavier than the falafel platter. Steak sandwich - SO good. They have some kind of secret sauce that ties everything together. Portion was smaller than the platters (easier to get through in one sitting) and this was probably the best thing I tried on the menu. It does say it comes with a side salad but we never got one. Would be better with a salad to balance out the steak+bread. Smoothies and juices - very fresh and tasty. Overall, we're very happy we found this cute neighborhood falafel spot :)

Abdullah is super friendly, very helpful, and was only slightly confused that two men were about to share a lamb shawarma platter as opposed to getting their own separate meals. (What Abdullah did not know is that this was our second lunch of the afternoon - classic bang bang - and we're pretty comfortable with each other.) When it came out, the platter was everything I'd hoped for. A stunning, colorful array of intensely flavorful lamb slices carved off the spit and served over rice and salad, slathered in white and hot sauce, topped with pickled vegetables. To be sure, I regretted having a second lunch, but not because of anything amiss with the food. And I also regretted not getting any baklava, but I'll rectify that next time around.

The restaurant is spacious with a vibrant, lively atmosphere. One thing that immediately stood out was the music. For a Middle Eastern restaurant, the playlist was refreshingly diverse. We heard everything from hip-hop and salsa to world music, and it really added to the vibe. Our server, Omar, was EXCELLENT! If you can, ask to sit in his section. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and absolutely wonderful throughout our meal. We started with the very popular short rib hummus and homemade pita, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Very, very good! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, especially the hummus and bread, which are made in-house. We also tried another pita topped with spices, which was a little more sophisticated and absolutely worth ordering. For brunch, we tried the Lebanese omelette, which was a little bland for my taste, but the fig toast was a MUST! Definitely one of the standouts of the meal. The chicken shawarma was also very good. For drinks, we tried the Strawberry & Na'a along with one of their bourbon-based cocktails and enjoyed both. Overall, Boutros was such a pleasant surprise. Great atmosphere, fresh food, fun music, and exceptional service from Omar. There's still so much on the menu I want to try, so I will FOR SURE be back!
