Food was alright. I wasn't blown away by any means. Dinner started off with a complimentary plate of slightly oily pickles and some crispy roasted bread strips with seasoning. I ordered some hummus and baba ganouj as our appetizers. The bread that came with was delightfully fluffy when warm but quickly became hard quite quickly. Hummus was thick and smooth but overly sour for my taste. I loved the baba ganouj. Chicken shish tawook wrap was mediocre: dry chicken and soggy veggies completely drenched in sauce. With the fries, the dish felt so heavy and greasy. The best thing about the shawarma platter was the portion size while the taste was not remarkable.

"This establishment is very good, I've been here several times. Today I had fish there, it was very tasty and cooked perfectly. I also like this place because they provide excellent service, prepare food very quickly, and the quality of food is very good. For those who don't speak English, there are Russian-speaking waitresses here, so you can also communicate in Russian. Also, they serve a delicious knafeh with tea. Additionally, when you enter and sit down, they give you a complimentary appetizer. The atmosphere here is also very good, as if you're immersing yourself in the East. Everything, including the atmosphere and the waitstaff, is very nicely dressed. At the entrance, you are greeted by an uncle dressed in traditional clothing. Overall, the atmosphere, food quality, and service are top-notch. I give this place 5 stars."

I love this place! My friend & I met at Linne Woods to walk the nature preserve trails there for an hour, and then had lunch here - Everyone was so friendly, the food and atmosphere/decor/music Were great, the Gentlemen at the host station, & theManager were so kind; I loved the coffee with cardamom and ginger that they brought around for everyone to taste, and their house pistachio dessert was fantastic! Will definitely go back.

Excellent restaurant for authentic Middle Eastern food! It's especially fun to enjoy this restaurant with a large group of friends and family as Al-Bawadi has massive, catering-sized portions for sharing.I was with family and friends here on Sunday for lunch. There were several first-timers at the table who loved the food and plan to return.Osama and our primary female waitress provided great table service, were very attentive, friendly and polite. We thought the kenafa was great! My sister-in-law LOVES the kenafa!!!!

Yesterday I was at the restaurant and the manager gave an attitude for a waitress in front of people that it’s not nice at all. I don’t like that manager because he was bad with employees and it’s not fair to do that.
