I've been hearing for a long time that Al Bawadi Grill had some of the best Middle Eastern food…read morearound, so I finally had to give it a try. From the moment you walk in, you can smell the food cooking. The atmosphere was great too. The music playing in the background, the decor, and the food videos on the TVs all came together and made the place feel lively and welcoming. The staff was super nice and made us feel welcome right away. I decided to order the Filet Mignon Kabab, which came with grilled onions, tomatoes, red and yellow rice. The meat ended up being cooked well done, which wasn't my choice, but honestly it was still packed with flavor. From the first bite, all the seasoning came through. The outside had a nice char from the grill, while the marinade added a savory blend of spices that soaked deep into the meat. Even though it was cooked more than I normally like, every bite still had a rich beefy flavor. The rice was amazing too, richer flavor that paired perfectly with the kabab. I can definitely see why people talk about this place so much. I'd definitely come back and try more from the menu.

The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for our main entrée, had to ask for the water again, and the Nutella shake we ordered was never served at all. Our server was not attentive throughout the night. One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying. The food was enjoyable, but the poor service really affected the overall experience.

Pita Land certainly has good tasting food for the most part. Best things are the platters where you get a variety of salads to choose from. The kind of high prices are the worst thing about it . Came in last time to get something as carryout. I got the Falafel Plate. This has a lot of different items on it, which makes it a good sampler. It's about $10 for a fairly good portion. This has falafel over rice. Mostly it seems the big pita is taking up room on the plate. There's garlic sauce, hummus, lettuce, pickles, pita bread, tahini, and tomatoes. Good combination. The only problem is there's not that much of it and the price is kind of high. Has a pretty good amount of seating areas inside. It always seems empty because most get to go orders. The prices are a little cheaper when getting takeout.
