" So, I visited Alwadi after a friend's recommendation, and while the service was friendly, the falafel was not very impressive. It lacked seasoning and was slightly overcooked. The chicken shawarma on the other hand was delicious and helped balance my experience. The price felt reasonable for the portions and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere. Overall, I wouldn’t mind going back, but I may stick to the shawarma next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Regrettably, my experience at Alwadi did not meet expectations. While the staff were friendly, my food felt average at best. The gyro was dry, and I felt that the lack of rich flavor was a huge miss for a Mediterranean place. The prices felt quite steep for what I received. It's unfortunate since I had heard so many good things. I might give it another shot, but I am considerably hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unfortunate experience. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap to go but found it bland and quite uninteresting. The pita was dry as well. Despite the frustration, the staff was polite and attentive, though that couldn’t make up for the disappointment in the meal. I likely won’t be back unless I hear significant changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Serving excellent Mediterranean cuisine, Alwadi is my new go-to spot around the airport! Their falafel is crispy and delicious while the garlic sauce adds that perfect kick to it. The staff is always warm and welcoming, making it a joy to dine in! The ambiance is casual yet lively, which I love. No complaints here! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Alwadi expecting an authentic taste of Mediterranean cuisine, and we came away with mixed feelings. The environment was nice, but the service was a bit slow, and I felt the food, particularly the falafel, lacked the homemade quality I was hoping for. The prices seemed higher than usual for what we got, which was disappointing. I might give it another chance though, as the gyros looked appetizing. " (*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*)
