I didn't realize it was quite so far away, but it was worth checking out. Overall, I really enjoyed The Berliner with chicken, and the fresh Somun Bread & Kajmak was also a standout.

That said, no one had anything negative to say about the food itself, and overall it was still a positive dining experience.

It's as you'd expect from a nice place like this. But the Chicken Korma....how horrible. It's not the flavour, the flavour is good. But they chop up chicken and put it in, bones, cartilage and all. (pictures) So you can't take a bite of food without having to analyze it with your teeth to make sure youre not biting into something hard. It's worse than the restaurants that serve you a pasta dish with shrimp but the tails are still attached so you have to coat your fingers in alfredo sauce just to be able to eat your food. The dish was wholly disappointing because it was pretty much inedible. The naan bread is tortilla-like, it's not really the nice, fluffy bread you'd expect. (picture) The rice was nice and fluffy. Some good things but only three stars because of the inedible dish. We'll order other things next time, and there will be a next time no problem. Updated review to follow I'm sure.

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.

It came with a portion of leg and sacrum with attached meat. The meat was cooked to perfection and falling off the bone...no knife required. The spices were fresh, flavorful, and aromatic. A complementary bowl of lamb soup (a broth) was served first, also with a salsa. The salsa was tomato-based and was spicy, sweet, and aromatic all at the same time. It was very fresh. Next time I will have to arrive earlier in the day so as to enjoy one of their many flavored coffee drinks!

Before 7pm, our small party of four were almost the only ones in and that was pleasant. The hookahs were not being used and the place was quite comfortable. We ordered a couple of appetizers and enjoyed them. The pita with baked halloumi cheese was very delicious and still so even after it had cooled while we were talking. The spicy potatoes were good though not particularly spicy. And the basket of pita breads were irresistible and yes, super hot! The service was great and the seating is comfortable. My only disappointment is that they had nothing particularly special to drink. No Lebanese wine or even regional imported beer. I was hoping for something different.

We first tried them at a Festival of Nations and have been hooked since. They're a flavorful curry and meat dish that can be loved and enjoyed even for those not a fan of heat. One thing to note is that the curried lamb dish IS spicier than the curry chicken since the curries are prepared with different ingredients. I love the curried lamb dish almost more than the mango meatballs. The others in my party had the beef kebabs and the national dish - Qabelli Palau. Both of those were also exceptional! When you walk in, there's several steps to enter the restaurant. Then, you'll be guided up a few more stairs into the dining room and seated at a cozy table. The decor is minimal and traditional.

I had a meat pie and a spinach pie plus a can of soda and a small salad for about $10. Same crust on both - a bit dry, not very flaky or flavorful. The meat pie had a flavor which I couldn't quite identify but which didn't appeal to me. Slightly vinegar, slightly something else. I'm guessing it is an authentic flavor but it was not to my liking. The spinach was better but still not great. The best thing was the small salad. Slightly wilted from the vinegar in the dressing like I like sometimes but very basic.
