He had a thicker accent so I didn't fully hear what he was saying, but he is such a sweetheart. The standard for how we treat customers has 100% become forgotten, but I'd say Alejandro really has an amazing attitude for his service. I'm not sure he knew how much his kindness brightened my day. I don't think hospitality is ever recognized enough in the food industry. Hopefully this reaches the right people. Thank you, again to the staff there today!!!! The ambiance was also amazing!

Recently, I moved up to a plate because the portions in the bowl seemed to have gotten smaller. Now the portions of the plate have gotten ridiculous. Just shy of $17 for rice and couscous, cucumber, red, cabbage, and hardly any meat! $17 for a whole lot of water from vegetables and rice. How greedy does a place have to be? I know things are getting expensive but when you shrink the portions and raise the prices, you're just begging for people to just stop spending their money there. And like I said, it all depends on who's serving you. This meal is worth $13 - $14 at best total after taxes for what you get!

Is a place was really nice inside and the parking is a bit small but there is a valet and the service was good. For the food the seafood platter was good the salmon was cooked perfectly but we were a bit disappointed with the Shawarma plate according to my friend the beef and lamb tasted like jerky so he was really disappointed with it we did order a lamp kebab which was really good I am very picky with my lamb and this one I would go back for because it didn't have that after it taste that I don't like when eating lamb. I would definitely still go back to try some other stuff in the menu. But definitely will have to try the meat kabob instead of the shawarmas next time. Happy eating!

The staff is warm and welcoming, and we were seated quickly upon arriving. Love the ambiance! It is very cozy and inviting. We were served a complimentary appetizer: pita bread strips, pickled veggies, and what I believe to be an eggplant dip. We also ordered the Bawadi wing appetizer. It was delicious, and those wings! It came with a sauce, but I cannot comment on that because none of us tried it. The wings by themselves are delicious! My friends both ordered the lamb chops, and I ordered the Al Bawadi mixed grill with hummus and bread. Everything was good, and the portions are generous. The meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned well. We all enjoyed our meals. We plan on coming back in the Fall to celebrate another birthday. This is definitely a neighborhood staple and will come back with family.

The meal was served family style so don't go when you're not hungry. There was plenty of food and it was all delicious; hummus, warm pitas, Israeli cucumber salad, eggplant salad, falafel, rice, green beans, shawarma, and coke or Israeli juice beverages. I loved it all! It was amazing to share a meal family style, make new friends, and eat really delicious food. I'll definitely go back and bring friends to this great venue. The party room was more than enough space for our in group and when I got done I shopped for a kosher candy bar in the adjacent grocery store! The staff is super friendly in the restaurant and store so if you didn't read Hebrew, ask for help! Nobody will shun you! Enjoy the experience of great food, great people, and a great venue. Then go next door and test your never me Hebrew skills as you buy yourself a take home treat.

I looked them all up and was pleased with so many amazing options and started to kick off our weekend of fun at Mizrahi Grill. We walked in and my cousins and daughter were excited about the attached market and asked if we could shop there a little after eating. But first food.... We placed our orders and then waited at a table for them to bring us our food. While they were super friendly, it wasn't the fastest service and we were waiting for quite a while. Finally i went up to confirm they were working on our order and it appeared a few minutes later. It was worth the wait because we all agreed it was delicious! I had ordered a kebab sandwich on a laffa, which was stuffed with israeli salad, hummus, tehina, pickles and french fries (the best part). It was all so tasty, especially the laffa which i'm pretty sure they make in house. It was also ginormous. I ended up taking half home and eating it for dinner. The rest of my party enjoyed their sandwiches as much as I did. Before leaving we shopped for some treats at the market, including a $20 dubai chocolate bar that my kids have been dying to try thanks to tiktok. They split it for dessert later that evening and all 3 of them agreed it lived up to the hype. This is a great food option if looking for kosher food...or if you just want really tasty food!

Having a sudden taste for Mediterranean food, I decided to try this highly reviewed Snack & Shrack…read more It was well worth the trip. It is located in an L-shaped strip mall with easy parking. I had the Beef Shawarma Plate, falafels, and lentil soup. Ordering at the counter was easy. The shawarma plate comes with rice, house salad, hummus, red cabbage, pickles, and tahini sauce which is great. There are other possible sauce and topping additions or substitutions, but I went with those. It was delicious and filling. The lentil soup was tasty and freshly made, and the falafels had the perfect balance of crunch and softness. I took half of those home with me. Although size prevents it from being a complete dine-in experience, I was quite comfortable eating at one of the small tables available for those eating there. A gentleman who worked at the 7-11 in the same plaza, stopped in to eat as well. He had a tasty looking wrap. The guys behind the counter spoke back and forth with him, so it was obvious that he is a regular customer. It's nice that he can grab a nice, quality lunch so nearby his workplace. The service was quick, the food terrific, and the prices reasonable. I highly recommend.
