Hadn't been there before but had driven past and wondered, glad we went! When my friend saw they had hot mint tea she said this was definitely the right place for lunch. We both ordered some and are happy we did! We decided to order a couple of things and share. We had the falafel and the mixed grill. Since she has a seafood allergy we asked to be sure things would be cooked and served separately and I love that they put the shrimp on a small plate on it's on. The falafel was perfect, the sauces (a chili sauce and something tahini or yogurt based were good with it as was the pita bread. The mixed grill had three skewers - chicken, beef and shrimp. Each had uniquely yummy flavors. It came with rice, some grilled veggies and some pico like tomato salad. Confess the baklava looked great as we were leaving. Appreciated the hospitality of the person waiting on us. We talked a bit and discovered he was from a country my friend had been to previously. He offered great service paying attention but not hovering.

I'm surprised they don't charge more because after purchasing I always find myself saying something along the lines of "I can't believe they don't charge more for this deliciousness". I've tried their baklava before I knew it wasn't vegan, and it left such a memorable mark on my tastebuds. I wish there were a vegan option, but that's just me being me. I've had their hummus too, but because it's a consistent grocery purchase of mine I don't get it as much when I come here. The picture attached to this review has falafel from Kaslik. The other food was something I prepared earlier in the day for dinner, and then I realized falafel from Kaslik would go perfectly with it.

I used to read his reviews in the Riverfront Times religiously. So when he praises any eatery in the region, I quickly put in on my tbe (to-be-eaten) list. Such was the case with Aldar Yemeni Cuisine. My wife, daughter, and I found ourselves in Wildwood this weekend following a scheduled visit to a Chesterfield play place for the kiddo. We needed a visit to nature after being surrounded by countless, screaming toddlers. After an hour at Castlewood State Park, it was time for some late afternoon vittles. The recent review of Aldar flashed in my mind as we loaded into the daddy-van. The wife agreed some Yemeni cuisine sounded delightful and we were on our way. Jump ahead to our table at the new restaurant, which was doing some brisk business at a time in the afternoon (3:00:ish) when most restaurants are facing a lull, even on a Saturday. That was our first good sign. The menu contains a plethora of Yemeni and Mediterranean choices, ranging from pita and hummus to baklava and tres leches cake. As is typical with me, I asked the server what they recommended. The Mandy Chicken was suggested, and I could sense some true passion from the server about the dish, so that was my selection. My wife chose the Mixed Grill Combo, and our daughter, being the typical four-year-old, brightened as soon as she saw the chicken nuggets on the menu. No amount of begging could convince her to try something even slightly more authentic. We were delighted by the lamb broth that was presented gratis at the beginning of the meal, along with a bowl of spicy Sahawaq, which the server explained could act as a condiment through the entire meal. It was indeed a delicious condiment. The broth was equally delicious; very soothing and comforting, despite the hot temperature outdoors. Now on to that Chicken Mandy. Wow. It's half a chicken with crispy skin and tender meat served with turmeric basmati rice and some raw vegetables for texture contrast. All the components were made even better with the addition of the Sahawaq. This was the perfect introduction to Yemeni cuisine. The portion was generous enough that I had breakfast for Sunday morning. I was very tempted to try some other, sweeter, items on the menu as well. The baklava, coffees, and smoothies were calling out to me. But I decided, perhaps against my better judgement, to use my craving for something sweet as a reason to return soon, as if we needed another reason beyond that crispy, flavorful chicken. Only two criticisms for Aldar; the beef portion of the Mixed Grill Combo was bland and dry. I only had a small taste and my wife assured me she was enjoying it slathered with the Sahawaq, but I was not impressed. The other, very small, critique was that the table and benches we were seated at were too far apart. I had to sit forward through the whole meal and felt the journey from plate to mouth was too far to be comfortable. It was an even bigger struggle for our daughter, who had to really stretch those short arms to reach her plate. Other than those two minor issues, everything else was near perfect. Five stars to the food, service, ambience, value, portion sizes, cleanliness, and overall experience. We will certainly be back as soon as we can. Thank you, Mr. Froeb, for another great suggestion, via your great reviews.

He saw enough so we got a table and went to the buffet. There was just 1 other table finishing their meal, and a couple people came for take out while we ate. We wanted to eat as quickly as possible so no photos. The naan container on the buffet was empty so the lady working said she would bring naan and rice to the table. She also asked if the food was still hot since she had already turned off the buffer heaters before we got there. We tried almost everything. The meats were well spiced outside but dry inside; likely they weren't marinated. Nothing was too spicy-hot for me, but the fritters and lentil soup were too salty, though I am more salt sensitive than others. I dipped the fritters in mango chutney. Husband is unlikely to try the buffet again, but I may go with my college student when she's back over break, since she loves Indian and the price here is not too high. Of course we'll go at the beginning of buffet time!
