    Grilled seafood platter
    Chanel T.

    First time trying this spot and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the lentil soup, baba ghanoush, Egyptian salad, and the seafood platter for pickup. My food was ready when I got there, and the place was clean and nicely decorated. Everything was full of flavor -- the lentil soup was smooth and delicious, the baba ghanoush was amazing, and the salad was fresh. I got the seafood platter grilled (you can get it fried too) and it came with rice that tasted great. Portions and prices were both solid. The friendly lady up front told me they post Friday specials on their Facebook page -- I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes

    Excellent shawerma!! I wish I would have found this place sooner. Now I don't have to go far at all to get really good shawerma :)

We were greeted by a helpful employee and the owner. They helped us decide what to order. We ordered the grilled chicken platter with a side of falafel. We made the mistake of not expressing that this meal was to-go. Another customer walked in after we ordered, placed his order (a wrap) and got his meal on a tray within 5 minutes. He ate in the restaurant and by the time he ate and left, our food still wasn't ready. It was only us and the customer that came in after us and ordered a wrap, so it wasn't busy. When we did get the food, it was tasty, hot, and tasted fresh. The food and the service was good, just express if you want to-go upfront and if you're eating in, prepare for the possibility of a wait. Update: We last went here a couple of months ago. We passed by on 6/22/25 and they are now permanently closed. Hate to see that! Hopefully they will be able to reopen at another location.

If you get a bowl its kinda Subway style so you just choose your toppings and you can watch it be made. The owner is really nice, she is always friendly when I come in. I got egg plant, cucumber, chicken , onions, sauces, and etc. At first I was disappointed at the amount of what she was scooping, but in the end it was a good amount and was filling. The bowl was tasty and I really enjoyed the eggplant. The garlic sauce and hummus was good as well. I'd definitely return. Check them out!!

And the food only paled in comparison to the service. I'm not sure if Alvaro is the owner or related to the proprietor--it's obvious he LOVES his job, he was engaging and knowledgeable and his recommendations were spot on. He suggested the Mezze platter as our appetizer (I ended up eating it as my entire meal). He also was so animated and excited about the buttery sauce that was used in the process of making the lamb chops, we ordered both purely because he was so confident we would like them. And that is where he made his mistake--we didn't LIKE them; we LOVED them! The lamb was cooked to perfection. The appetizer platter was an explosion of flavors--and trust me, the falafel alone is worth the trip back. All too often, falafel is made with the premise that bigger is better. Falafel can taste gummy and dry if it made too large. Baladi had mastered the perfect falafel. They make them small, crunchy and flavorful. Hands down, it was my favorite. And then I tasted the babaganouush! Oh my, my, my! I didn't think the falafel had competition, but that babaganouush nearly melted in my mouth. Look for me when you visit here because Baladi is my new favorite restaurant.

We got the chicken gyro, chicken tawook, and beef gyros. I also ordered a side of rice and tatziki with pita chips. The prices are very reasonable.. I went and waited in the car. The food was ready in about 8 minutes and the gentlemen brought it out to my car, which was very nice. I liked the chicken gyro. It was different textures because of the toppings with a good taste and crunch. The chicken tawook was also good. I liked the beef as well, it was tender and the sauce on it was good. The hummas and tzatziki sauce tasted good also. It made the gyros better. I like that the gyros are rolled kinda long and thin so its easy to eat without everything spilling out. You could easily eat it and drive. The rice was cooked just right. It had no flavor at all, but it was somehow still good... I'd return to try other things. If your looking to try some different foods, this is a good place to try... I got some drinks and a few were good, but one was to sweet. I had fun picking out random things to try though. 4 stars!!

We're started out by sharing the Spanakopita appetizer. The pastry was warm right out of the oven and the yogurt with spices made the dish simply mouthwatering! Our main course selections of shrimp kabob and Greek pasta were prepared to perfection. Now onto the drinks...our margaritas were the BEST! We were able to have them made with our favorite 1800 tequila which only enhanced the flavor. My husband and I felt forced to order a second round of them!! The service was excellent. Our waitress Kelsey possessed such a pleasant and effervescent personality which made our visit that much more fun! The decor was tasteful and layout of tables was such that one did not feel too crowded or confined. This restaurant may be about 45 minutes from our home but well worth the drive! We encourage everyone in the Richmond area to take a chance on a culinary adventure unlike any other at this incredible restaurant the Grape and Vine!

I loved seeing some classic staples here too. The owner is beyond kind and sweet. She is so passionate about what she does here, we loved meeting her. Here is what we tried: Mulukhiyah with Chicken: What an iconic Egyptian soup! How cool to find it in Richmond too. It was really good. The chicken wasn't for us, but the soup was just right. Lamb shank: While the spices and flavors were all right, I think the lamb itself was a bit off for us. This could've just been the night we went. Koshari: My mom's favorite dish of the evening. Something you can't find easily in Richmond either, this was really nice. Kunefa: We finished our evening with dessert, and it was a little overcooked for us. I adored the heart shape. They have a lot of yummy things on their menu. The service was great here too. I am excited to return to try more.
