Visited today, and the food was amazing (I can be critical of Mediterranean food since I'm Lebanese). The restaurant itself was very nice, we really admired the lighting! We got the sayadeyeh (spicy fish on a bed of rice), tabbouleh, batata harra (spicy potatoes), mixed grill platter, and Cajun wedges and some chicken noodle soup (my boyfriend was a little sick lol). We weren't super hungry but stopped for a quick bite. We absolutely did not expect how big the portions would be! They also gave us hummus and pita bread. We were super full but were able to at least try a lot of their options. We will definitely be back! The manager spoke to us upon leaving also and was super friendly and welcoming. The service was also great. read more

Excellent service, beautiful restaurant and the food was amazing, i ate the seafood grilled platter, pinacolada, mint lemonade, definitely going back again read more

Service was absolutely amazing! I wish i could remember the servers name, super friendly. The ambiance was nice as well. We sat outside and it was gorgeous. The food was great as well. The Taboulleh was phenomenal as well as the dynamite shrimp. The mixed seafood platter was missing some seasoning in my opinion and it felt like it was more rice than seafood itself. The branzino was delicious, i wish they would've deboned it though. The mashed potatoes were not it. Something tasted so off about it, almost as though it was spoiled? not sure, and it had zero seasoning to it. The grilled octopus was very flavorful but it seemed a little too rubbery, my jaw hurt after trying to chew just a bite. it sat on a bed of mashed potatoes, which again we think was spoiled so we couldn't even eat it. read more

Too over priced. Chilis/Applebees quality, Shaw'a crab house prices! Place had OK food. Nothing spectacular, but I'd have come back if it wasn't for the sticker shock! read more

The atmosphere was unwelcoming my waitress took control over what I wanted to eat she said this Is MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD. My expensive shrimp platter was cold and rubbery she brought the wrong kind of salad and didn't bring the potato's. I requested the salad before the main course she said that they bring everything at once. I sampled the Turkish Coffee it tastes like dirty tree roots and lavender. Throughout my visit all of them continued spying and glancing around hidden places and through plants even the manager or owners like I was a dine and dasher. From my observation it's a "Meeting Place" for immigrant business! Americans aren't welcomed or expected to dine there. Bone Fish has much better quality fresh seafood. This restaurant can't even compete with Red Lobsters quality. read more

First and foremost this place is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Everyone from the host to the owner was extremely friendly, welcoming , and attentive. We had appetizers, the fried seafood and filet Mignon platters for entrees, plus at the end, we just barely fit in some dessert. Tip: if you can save room after the big portion sizes, definitely get the pistachio cake and some coffee. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our first experience at Al Bahaar. The only debatable downside would be the prices , but in my opinion you get what you pay for . The ambiance , service , and quality of food made the prices perfectly palatable. read more

Absolutely the best dining experience!!! Our amazing server Jesse was fantastic!! From the moment we got sat down all the way until we left we had great service. We had the seafood tower at the suggestion of Jesse and the food was incredible! He was so kind to explain the meals , drinks and how the restaurant runs. The restaurant is beautiful, the food was wonderful and the overall experience we had was incredible. Will absolutely return and highly recommend. Thank you so much Jesse for the overall experience. read more

came half an hour late for iftar reservation. the owner was disappointed and said he gave my table away lol then we went to the buffet and got one plate, and when we went back the buffet was gone. not promising at first but when I told the waiter, he was very helpful and told me he will get me anything from the buffet selection right away and will charge for only 1 buffet (there were 2 of us) 0 complaints, I only said 1 sentence and he fixed my concern. we ordered fish saddiyeih separate also and it was very good and fresh. had we come on time we would have had a bigger selection of food, and the service made up for all of this. these guys and the owner took care of us and did a great job. I don't write many reviews but I was impressed for their quick service. five stars for this and I will come back read more

All of the above food service and ambiance were excellent. We had the Greek salad, the shrimp, calamari, and the hummus. All of the food was freshly made and very delicious. The manager and servers' hospitality was outstanding. Their outdoor patio very spacious and decorative. I am definitely coming back. read more

The worst place I have ever eaten at. Nabeel the manager was extremely rude to us and the place had flies and bugs. Will never go back and I do not recommend read more

This is our new favorite seafood place! I can't wait to bring more of my family here. They have really spared no expense with the decorations.

We argued over who had the better food. This place really knows their seafood. read more

We frequent many Mediterranean restaurant, Al Bahaar is in a class by itself. Food is fresh, tender, beautifully seasoned, we ordered the platter for six, 16 skewers of Kofta Kabob, chicken and Filet Mignon, two kind of rice, bread, hummus and other side dishes. We had a baby along. The staff was very accommodatin, bringing a high chair and plastic ware for the baby and all around great service. The ambiance is incredible. Exquisite chandeliers and artifacts from the Middle East creates a portal to another time and place. The artists are commended for their attention to detail, outstanding. I am only sorry I'm limited to five stars, I would have given many more! read more

Awesome food and welcoming environment. Staff were friendly and helpful explaining the food I wasn't familiar with. 10/10 we will be back!

I had the pleasure of dining at Al Bahaar for lunch just last week while in town on business. First, the ambiance is fantastic! The authentic decor is gorgeous imported from the middle east. Although we were dining at lunch, which is currently slower paced, the service was 5-star . . every detail was thought of, nothing missed with extremely attentive wait staff. Last, but definitely not least, is the mouthwatering cuisine. We sampled fresh made sauces. FRESHLY made in-house. Additionally, we enjoyed fried octopus as an appetizer. Please note: I detest octopus until I met their version. I gobbled it up! We had a wide variety of fresh grilled seafood that included lobster tail, salmon, sea bass, branzino and succulent shrimp. All was extremely fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed a fresh made smoothie to wash down my food. FRESHLY made! Finally, we enjoyed a huge, shared piece of the pistachio cake. I had 0 room for it but the presentation of it was gorgeous and I could not resist trying it. FANTASTIC! It was very moist and sort of reminded me of being soaked in milk like a tres leches cake, if you have had experienced this. Now that I am back in North Carolina, I very much wish I had such an amazing restaurant in my area. read more

The food was outstanding! Al Bahaar was incredibly busy yet they nailed it on both the food and service.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The service was also spectacular, we were immediately welcomed with Arabic coffee as we seated. Everyone was so friendly and wanted to make sure we were happy with our experience. The food was full of flavor. We started off with the tuna tartare and then had the grilled octopus which was grilled to perfection. We also tried the mixed grill plate, which my husband couldn't stop raving about - all around we give this place an A+! We can't wait to go back to check out their outdoor area once it is opened! read more
