Between my friends and I we got falafel, shawarma, hummus, arayes, malabi, and the drink of the day which was cucumber! I recommend the falafel and the malabi. The falafel was the best food in my opinion and the dessert was extraordinary. Just keep in mind the malabi has rose syrup so if you don't like heavy rose, maybe pass but I am a big fan of rose and loved this dessert! The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is because I felt the shawarma needed more filling but other than that I had no complaints!

I saw Al Awael on Yelp and the food looked so good. I wanted to check this place out. My party came…read moreto Al Awael later in the evening, after the Iftar rush. As a result, the restaurant was not crowded, but they were out of several menu items. The restaurant is spacious and very color coordinated. The armrests on the chairs are at a slightly odd height for me but very aesthetic. This restaurant is family-run by a father and son duo. The father was cooking while his son was on the front end of things. The service was super friendly and I really appreciated that he explained the menu thoroughly to us. They were out of beef kabob and chicken shawarma (my go-to). I opted for the liver plate with fries, and also tried a bite of beef shawarma. We were also served a complimentary lentil soup as an appetizer. The soup was DELICIOUS. Soft and warm and comforting, with vermicelli bits in it. It was incredibly flavorful and soothing, something I would crave on cold days, sick days, any days really. I will definitely be finding recipes and attempting to make this myself. Middle Eastern places always have the most delicious, freshly fried fries, 10/10 no notes especially with ketchup (sue me, I'm basic XD). My grilled liver hit the spot. I think my one critique would be that because the pieces were quite large, some parts were quite tough. The roast onions and tomatoes had a good smoky char, and the portions were generous. After I polished off my first cube, the son swung by and set a grilled jalapeño down in front of me, saying that his father recommended parting it with the liver. It's personal touches like this that make me really love a local, family owned place! And his father was definitely right about the jalapeño. That and the pickled cabbage were the perfect complement for the rich, earthy liver. Prices were fair and portions were huge. The service was standout here as well. I would LOVE to come back and try their lamb dishes, and I definitely anticipate updating to a 5 star review then.

It seems the restauranteurs spend more money on aesthetic than gastronomy. I think it's also important to note that service was top notch. Everyone was extremely kind and professional.

I've been a customer of this restaurant for the last 4 years. And 4 years ago, the quality and…read moreportions of the dishes were outstanding. I don't know what happened to this place, but the last 2 times I've ordered food from them I noticed a dramatical change in their standards. The Alamanara salad is not what it used to be. Now, it is basically 95 % green lettuce and a scarce amount of tomatoes and cucumbers, a very tiny portion of Feta cheese and one thin slice of a black olive. All this with almost undectable amount of dressing. I've talked to the manager the first time and it was fixed. But the second time was to go so I sent them a message through facebook. 1.5 hours later I received a call from the owner asking me to tell the cashier next time I order food from them. I am sorry there will be no next time. They lost a customer. It used to be a good place. I do not recommend it now. You pay way to much for the food quality and portions. It is not worth it. There is a ton of other good places in the same area with same prices and higher standards.

This was my sending time here for lunch. The ambiance is casual. There's a large parking lot but…read morethere's some construction at this time. I was still able to find parking. I got the flatbread wrap as a pita sandwich this time with chicken tika since it's what the guy behind the counter recommended. The pita was fluffy, slightly toasted, and flavorful. There's 4 sauces you can have with your meal but you don't really need it since there so much flavor to the pita (or plate if you order one). There's last time I was here, I ordered the flatbread tortilla wrap and that was delicious as well. It's much larger than the pita sandwich for $1 more. There is no bathroom here but I am told that you can go to Handel's to use theirs. I would removed 1/2 a star for that but the food is tasty enough to overlook it. There is a television on one side of the wall and 80s rock music playing in the background (great track if you ask me). They offer catering as well.

I love the floral and pistachio taste, and it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards. The mint lemonade is also a must have- tastes like it came from the garden in the best way possible. For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.
