    I was in the mood for a Gyro and decided to try this place. When I walked in I saw brightly colored walls. I placed my order to go. I ordered 2 Beef Gyros they came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. ( I got their hot sauce on the side.Their hot sauce is very hot.) I also ordered yellow rice, and a Greek Salad. It was very fresh and delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed it so much he said he could've eaten two. Several days later,we came back and placed the same order but this time ordered an additional Gyro. because we enjoyed it so much. Their Yellow Rice was really good and flavorful. I think they use basmati rice. My Greek Salad was also fresh and delicious with lots of feta.This place is Halah. (Made, produced, manufactured, processed, and stored using machinery, equipment, and/or utensils that have been cleaned according to Islamic law.You will not find any pork here.) The manager was very nice, he made good suggestions and was very friendly. His wife was also very nice and friendly. This restaurant is very clean, and bright with a good amount of tables for dining in. There's also a couple of tables outside. They have a wide variety of dishes. I saw some children eating Chicken Tenders and Fries. They have a kids menu. El Waldo Grill offers Chicken,Lamb, and Beef Gyros. You can get it in a pita or on a platter. They have all different kinds of platter's including Seafood Platters. They have delicious falafel. I tried some with their homemade tahini sauce. They serve Burgers, Salads,Sandwiches including Vegetarian Sandwiches. Buffalo Wings, Quesadillas, Popcorn Chicken, All Beef Hot Dogs, Fat Sandwiches for the daring, Milkshakes, Smoothies. and Baklava for dessert. This place is located in the same strip mall as ShopRite and Pets Supply Plus at the far end. There's plenty of free parking.

    Grilled Salmon Platter
    Jay B.

    El Wadi has probably become our favorite takeout spot in the area. Food: the salmon platter was delicious. The salmon was perfectly seasoned and had a slight crisp on the outside. The lamb is the best part of the el wadi special. The chicken is really good too. The falafel is spiced nicely, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The rice for both is perfectly cooked and seasoned. It's nice and fluffy. Be sure to get extra white sauce!! Ambiance: it's more of a takeout spot where you go up the counter and order. There are a few tables inside for a quick bite. Service: the people here are extremely nice and our food always comes out quickly. Value: for $17.99, the salmon platter is an amazing value

    $52 for this meal.  a little tiny gyro which was about $20 and Alexandria mix 2 for $32. Insane !

    Delicious food, but extremely expensive to the point that it's not even worth getting food here anymore. Just ridiculously over priced.

    Mediterranean Mix Platter (2 people)

    We stopped by on our way and didn't expect this small place to have such good, tasty and fresh Mediterranean food. The order taker was friendly and nicely explained menu items. Seating place is average but for the kind of food absolutely perfect. Definitely a place to return for some halal Mediterranean food.

    Chicken kebab platter

    Food: Their chicken platter is always a good go to! The rice and chicken are nicely seasoned. They make everything fresh, so if you are planning to pick up, I would suggest ordering in advance and take about 20 minutes. Interior: a smaller seating area but usually not crowded. The owners are super friendly! We will be back whenever we crave chicken and rice platter! I would also like to try other items off their menu.

    I recently found this restaurant on a Facebook group looking to support local restaurants. My husband and I came in at 9 PM (always nice to finally find a place open past 9 pm). The front is deceiving - I was initially put off by the bright red sign and the complex, but I am thrilled that we ventured on in. Both the service and food were excellent! We ordered the Kofta kebab platter and mixed grill. I'm a fan of kebab in general, and this ranks amongst my top 5 ever. The meat is well flavored and juicy. The sauces and rice are near perfect. I'm always looking to support local businesses and both the great food and kind service will keep me coming back.

    Veggie Mix Platter
    Benjamin B.

    Great spot to pick up meals! I ordered 2 platters to get a sampling of items, Mediterranean Mix platter (kofta and chicken kebab) and Veggie Mix platter (falafel, baba ganoush and hummus). Order was ready in 25 minutes as expected and packaged neatly in a large paper bag stapled closed. Everything was well seasoned and delicious! Definitely satisfied my craving for falafel and the rice was fluffy and tasty. I will be returning again for sure.

    Falafel appetizer was great. Crispy outside, fluffy inside.

I highly recommend getting one of their hummus appetizers, whether it be the standard hummus or the house hummus, which has a little bit of a spicy kick to it.

I'm very much a fan of the pyramid chicken, especially if you are into the flavors of honey mustard and a touch of mushroom in a cream sauce. A very unique dish that I haven't found anywhere else. Of course, you can't go wrong with ordering a chicken shawarma and asking for extra sauce on the side. It's good enough to serve two, but usually I always order one and take home the rest.

On the street parking shouldn't really be an issue in the area. We found with no issue on a Tuesday evening. Inside is cozy.. could be a little warmer, but I'll give that it was an exceptionally cold December evening. The atmosphere gives cozy vibes though, which I appreciate. We were immediately seated upstairs, where they have plenty of large group seating options. Service was attentive and fast. We ordered a round of delicious appetizers.. hummus, saksuka, cheese rolls.. all of it was delicious. I especially loved the octopus app special.. magnificent! Entrees were especially of large portion, which was greatly appreciated. Everything tasted fresh and was beautifully presented. I ordered the Pyramid chicken which was delicious. Their chicken is flavorful and juicy. For dessert, my keskul was amazing! Plenty of pistachio on top with a delicate and very well balanced vanilla custard. I could eat that daily. I definitely plan on returning!!

They gave my dog so much attention, brought him a water bowl, and even let us order a side of steak for him, which he absolutely loved. To start, we shared the beet salad and the grilled halloumi.
