" Al Bawadi Grill is a treasure! When we stepped inside, we felt transported to another world. The atmosphere was genuinely inviting, and the traditional dress of the staff added to the experience. The food, oh the food! I highly recommend the mixed grilled platter – every bite was bursting with flavor. The spices used were spot on and catered perfectly to my taste. We topped off our meal with their famous mint lemonade, which was refreshing! The service was also commendable, as the staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I cannot wait to return, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Middle Eastern food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Bawadi Grill exemplifies what an authentic Palestinian restaurant should be. Upon entering, the beautiful interior set the tone for what was to come. We started with the baba ghanoush and pita, both bursting with flavor. I opted for the grilled fish for my main and it was perfectly cooked. Each dish showcased rich, robust flavors that reminded me of meals cooked at home! The service was fantastic; our waiter offered great recommendations and was attentive throughout our meal. Don't skip out on the kunafa for dessert; it's divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Bawadi Grill is a beautiful restaurant, enhancing the experience was their lovely decor and warm staff. I ordered the lentil soup along with the mixed grill platter; both were wonderful! The atmosphere was cozy and enticing, making for a memorable dining experience. Our server was kind, though a bit slow in checking on us. However, the quality of the food more than made up for any service delays. Their kunafa is the perfect sweet finish to a delicious meal! I highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Bawadi Grill lived up to its reputation as a top-notch Palestinian restaurant! I enjoyed a lovely family dinner, where we shared a variety of dishes that showcased the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cooking. Each plate that came out was visually appealing and delicious. I particularly loved their grilled shish kebabs and the fresh bread served alongside. The service was attentive, and they truly took care of us throughout our meal. Overall, it was a delightful evening, and I eagerly await my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had high hopes for Al Bawadi Grill after seeing so many rave reviews, but the reality fell short. While the restaurant is beautifully adorned with cultural artifacts that create a lovely atmosphere, the food was unexpectedly bland for a Middle Eastern restaurant. Our shawarma lacked the traditional spices, which was disappointing. However, the service was good – our waiter was accommodating and made sure we had a comfortable meal. I'll give it another chance down the line, as perhaps this was just a bad day for them! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always wanted to try traditional Palestinian food, and Al Bawadi Grill did not disappoint. The hospitality here is lovely, and the decor adds a nice touch to the dining experience. My order of the mixed grill was satisfying, with each meat offering a different flavor while still being tender and well-seasoned. The staff took great care to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend trying their desserts, specifically the kunafa, which is something you don’t want to miss. I will definitely come back for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at Al Bawadi Grill was quite memorable! The decor made me feel like I was dining in the Middle East. The food doesn’t hold back on flavor, from appetizers to desserts! The grilled chicken and beef kebabs had an amazing smokiness, while the tahini sauce paired perfectly. I also enjoyed the tea served with our meal; it was a lovely touch. However, I found the service a bit slow during peak hours, which made the visit slightly less enjoyable. All in all, I definitely recommend it for a night out! " (*Curated Review*)
