We ordered through the drive-thru, and while the line can get long, it took us about 20 minutes to get our food. The customer service is friendly, attentive, and patient.

Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. I'll definitely come back. The food is a bit on the pricier side and my chicken shawarma meal was around $19.

I was just at this establishment about an hour ago.. and unfortunately, I was treated pretty rudely…read morein a very short amount of time. To briefly explain... I ordered, paid for the order, then my wrap was being prepared. I see the worker putting the finishing touches on my wrap, crisping it on the grill.. so I wait to be handed my order. While waiting, someone else comes in.. orders and pays, customizes their bowl.. receives their bowl ....and then is given an extra bowl that a customer didn't pick up and was told it was to make up for the "wait".. meanwhile, the worker who made my wrap has long disappeared and my order has been sitting on the grill. That person who came in after me, has now left. I only received my order a few minutes after that. Btw there were no other people in line waiting. Just me, standing there for over 15 minutes waiting on an order that was done. Also, the way I was talked to was not okay when I was asked was 'said bowl' my order. So unfortunately, this came across as racially motivated, since I was treated as less of a priority. And it's really rare that I feel that way but... this was a weirdly rude experience. Will not be returning. Thank you for my meal.

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.

We started with the veggie appetizer, and the house-made pita was honestly the best pita I've ever had -- warm, fresh, and perfect with all the dips (which were all delicious). For our entrée, we shared the mixed grill plate. We did ask for the filet mignon to be well done but slightly pink, and even though it wasn't exactly that, everything still tasted really good and flavorful. To drink, we had the lemon and mint, which was super refreshing. For dessert, we tried the kunafa (hope I'm spelling that right!), and Mones walked us through it and explained everything, which made it even more enjoyable. Great food, amazing service, and we'll definitely be coming back.

But there was a steady stream of customers, so I figured it had to be decent. I didn't pick the best time to go, as there was a large group there and the small staff was busy preparing their orders. After I got someone's attention, I asked for a few skewers with a side of rice. They didn't have rice, so I asked for pita bread instead. I ordered one kufta skewer, one chicken skewer, and one beef (filet mignon) skewer. In addition to the pita bread, they served the food with hummus, pickles, and some sort of tomato salad. Although you order and pay at the counter (no paper menus), they did bring the food out to the table. The kufta and chicken were decent, but a little dry. The beef was excellent; tender and juicy. The hummus and tomato salad were delicious, especially the former. The pita bread was fine, but it would have been nicer if it was slightly warmed up. The interior isn't the nicest, but there is an extension with additional seating. Decent food and a good value. The total with tax and tip came out to just under $25, which was enough for a light lunch for three people.

The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing.

One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying.
