" I decided to give Alwadi a try when I landed at IAH, and I'm glad I did! The chicken shawarma was absolutely fantastic, very flavorful with a great balance of spices. The staff was friendly and they served my meal quickly, which was just what I needed after a long flight. I also appreciated the portion size; it certainly filled me up! I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequent Mediterranean restaurants, and Alwadi is a hidden gem close to the airport. The shawarma is tender and full of flavor, and the mezze platter offers a delightful variety. While the service can be a tad busy during lunch hours, the staff is generally attentive and polite. The prices are reasonable for the quality you receive, although I noticed some items are slightly pricier. All in all, a wonderful experience that I will undoubtedly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a frequent visitor at Alwadi and they consistently deliver a fantastic dining experience. The portions are generous, especially for the price paid. My recent chicken shawarma was succulent and flavorful. The atmosphere is always friendly, and the staff knows how to make you feel welcome. It's a solid spot to satisfy your Mediterranean cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment is an understatement for my experience at Alwadi. I went hoping for a genuine Mediterranean experience but found the opposite. The food was overly priced for very small portions. My gyro was bland and not what I expected. I can’t speak for the service positively as I encountered short tempers from their staff. Simply put, I would not recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Phenomenal meal! Alwadi nails authenticity with flavors that take me back to my travels in the Mediterranean. My chicken kabob was perfectly cooked and paired wonderfully with the garlic sauce. The staff was friendly, and the wait was manageable even during peak hours. If you're looking for an authentic Mediterranean meal while at the airport, Alwadi should be top on your list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Alwadi seeking some Mediterranean comfort food and I wasn't disappointed. The lamb kebab was excellent, very tender with a great sauce accompanying it. The atmosphere was pleasant, albeit small during peak hours. The only downside was the pricing, which I found a little steep for the quantity served. I would recommend Alwadi to friends if they seek great flavors but would also caution them about the pricing. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much buzz about Alwadi, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The service was adequate, but the flavor of the dishes was lacking. My lamb kebab was on the dry side and lacked the spices that are typical of Mediterranean cuisine. The atmosphere felt casual, but overall it was missing that special touch that elevates a dining experience. I'm unsure if I’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)
