" As someone who has spent considerable time in the Middle East, I can confidently say that Al Forno serves some of the most authentic shawarma I've had in the States. The spices were spot on, and the meat was tender and juicy. The hummus was incredibly smooth, and their pita bread was fresh out of the oven. The only downside was that the restaurant was a bit small, so I can see it getting crowded during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of visiting Al Forno for the first time, and it was truly remarkable. The staff greeted us with warm smiles, and our meals came promptly. I ordered the falafel platter, which was not just authentic but also incredibly tasty. The garlic sauce served on the side was a great complement, and the servings were generous. This place is a treasure for anyone wanting to enjoy flavorful Mediterranean food in a friendly environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Forno easily exceeded my expectations! I ordered the mixed kebab platter, and every bite I took was heavenly. The quality of the meat was excellent, and each skewer was cooked perfectly. The fries were phenomenal and seasoned just right. Of particular note was the service—my server was attentive but not overbearing, which made the dining experience all the better. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" After seeing so many glowing reviews, I decided to visit Al Forno, and I was not let down! The falafel wrap was to die for and bursting with flavors. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant’s atmosphere was very pleasant. However, I felt the prices were a tad high for a wrap. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Al Forno was average. The food was decent, but unfortunately, my chicken shawarma was slightly dry. The service was good, and the staff were polite. However, the price seemed a bit high for what I received. I might give it another chance on a busy weekend, as I’ve heard varying opinions from friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Al Forno for a quick lunch and was thoroughly impressed! The presentation of my plate was beautiful, and the mixed shawarma I ordered was packed with spices and moisture—it was seriously the best I’ve had outside of the Middle East! The staff were friendly and happy to make recommendations. A bit of a drive for me, but worth every mile! I’ll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A huge shoutout to the wonderful staff at Al Forno! They made my first visit memorable. The meals were not only visually appealing but delicious. I had the beef and chicken shawarma served on a platter, and both were fantastic. It was rich in flavor and well-priced. I walked out feeling satisfied, and I can’t wait to return and try more items off their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
