It came with brine-y olives, a dry seasoning that I assume is za'atar, and olive oil. Our drinks were refreshing. The strawberry lemonana was wonderfully sweet, and the virgin mojito was nicely bubbly. For our mains, we shared the cheese bread, which was so flavorful and gooey, and the kafta, which had a nice blend of smoke, spice, and funk, perhaps coming from the beef and lamb blend. I so enjoyed my dinner there, and I'm determined to return!

It was our first time trying Al Badawi and we've been wanting to go for a while. We went for brunch…read moreand wanted something other than the typical brunch and eggs dishes. When we arrived it was empty however by the time we finished, there were many tables filled. The bad thing is that there was only 1 server during brunch. It took forever to get our check and even a to-go bag for our leftovers. We ordered for apps, the grand mezze dish with all of the different spreads, such as hummus, red pepper, tzatziki, eggplant, wow! It was delicious and to top it off they have homemade pita bread! Which was a huge highlight! Even my baby loved their homemade pita bread! For our mains, we ordered branzino, which was such a small sad piece, literally just half of a filet. Would never order again. We also got the mixed meats which came with kafta, lamb, chicken a few pieces of each, and also this was so sad, the pieces were SO small. And we also got this Fattat Jaj (which is a 6 layer dish with chicken, rice chickpeas). Honestly all of the mains were such a disappointment. Full of rice, not a lot of meat in any of the dishes. Especially the Fattat Jaj, which literally was just rice with a bunch of small crispy pita bread, barely had any chicken. While we really enjoyed the mezze platter, especially the homemade pita bread, all of the mains were SO small and terrible. Full of rice and salad and barely any meats (despite we ordered all meat and fish dishes). Sad portions. Would not return.
