Best WLM Reviews

The restaurant was quiet on a Saturday early afternoon. The seating was comfortable and the staff was friendly and attentive. We had the Makanik and vegetarian sampler, as well as the mint lemonade. Everything was very flavorful and savory, even the crunchy bread was delicious.
Great food. Great service. Good ambience.
Must visit if you like Mediterranean food.
Al Wadi does not fail to impress! There is a beautiful dining atmosphere with attentive staff and delicious food. The Manager sat us in a nice corner booth with gorgeous pillows and closed the blinds so the sun was not in our eyes.
Our beautiful waitress was highly attentive and helped with any questions. They make sure not to rush you out the door which I really appreciate.
The food was executed with precision and with a lot of love. We ordered some dishes we were already familiar, but new ones as well.
It felt as though someone had invited me into their home for an exceptional dining experience! I made sure to grab some baklava to go!
I embarked on a 45-minute journey to experience the culinary delight of this Middle Eastern gem, and it was worth every mile. The food, a symphony of flavors, was not only outstanding but also remarkably fresh. The server's kindness and thoughtfulness added an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience, making it truly memorable. This restaurant is a testament to the artistry of Middle Eastern cuisine and hospitality.
I was a huge supporter of this place. Always had good food, however last time I went in, I got food poisoning from the lamb chops. I am still recovering and it is a very big shame because there are few places that I like in the area. However, no one should have to deal with the symptoms of food poisoning. I don't wish it on no one. Having a restaurant is hard and no one wants a review like this, but I am sick and I'm pissed. My only words to the restaurant are to check your meat and DO NOT serve if it is bad. If you don't know how to cook and sear the meat properly, don't serve it.
Al Wadi deserves to be more popular.
I don’t write google reviews often, so for the restaurant to have spurred me to do so speaks to its place in my heart (as one of my favorites)
The food is amazing. I had never had many of these dishes prior to trying the restaurant, but my family and I frequently crave their food so desperately that we make the 30 minute drive over from where we live. Our favorite is the Warak Enab with meat. We often order two or three, and when we eat there in person we get an extra “to-go” order of it at the end of the meal.
I will describe the food as very citrus forward, with lots of other flavors from spice mixes and garlic. I personally love citrus and garlic, so this makes it one of my favorite restaurants. Despite being heavy on those flavors however, the food is not one note. There is a lot of depth to the flavors.
Today, I came here around 4:30 on a Sunday, and it was empty. Despite the lack of patrons, the interior design, music choices, and friendly staff made the atmosphere welcoming and entitle. The other time I came here was a Friday night, and they had a few more diners. Despite the sign posted requesting patience for being short staffed, both nights yielded excellent service.
I also order takeout and delivery food from here frequently. The food reheats really well in a microwave or oven, so when there’s leftovers, everything gets eaten.
I will say, the restaurant is a bit chilly. I don’t mind it in a tee shirt, but if you run cold bring an extra layer
The kebab had a very bad texture, was tough, and didn’t taste very good. The stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) weren’t bad, but I wouldn’t recommend them.
Beautiful restaurant, amicable staff and wonderful ambiance.
I went there on a Sat nite to celebrate a friends birthday. I arrived early and they were willing to sit me if I would like to or just sit at the bar. The hostess was very friendly.
Our waitress was super nice and patience as we were a party of 10.
We ordered several appetizers and our main dish later. Everything came good as ordered and the food was so so tasty! I couldn’t pick a favorite. The meal portions are big so make sure you go with an appetite.
This place has parking lot although I wish it was bigger.
The belly dancer was amazing.
You go for a meal and get a show too!
Overall “I can’t wait to go again”
P.S. it came in handy to have cash to tip the dancer.
