Reviews for Al Wadi in West Roxbury, MA
First time here at @alwadiboston and what a wonderful Lebanese dinner experience we had! We got the Al Wadi for two and were... completely stuffed with leftovers to take home ?? First, we started off our feast with a deliciously comforting bowl of chickensoup. Next, we had an array of appetizers: pita and hummus, tabouli, and stuffed grape leaves. The pita was freshly baked with agreat bite to it. the hummus was deliciously creamy, made with tahini sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Made fresh withparsley, mint, wheat bulgur, tomatoes, onions, lots of lemon juice and olive oil, it was hands down the best Tabouli we’veever had! The stuffed grape leaves were pretty tasty, with rice, spices, and lemon juice. Next, out came the main course ofchicken kebabs, kafta kebabs, and baked kibbeh. I personally loved the chicken kebabs, as they were well spiced and juicy withevery bite. I did not like the kafta kebabs which were made of seasoned ground lamb only because I personally don’t like gameymeat (if you like lamb, you’ll love these). The baked kibbeh was made with ground beef, cracked wheat, and pine nuts. A veryinteresting dish, again if you like gamey meat, you’ll love this. Finally, we ended the meal with dessert: baklava andnamoura. The namoura was tasty with an interesting texture, made from semolina flour and yogurt and soaked in syrup. Saving thebest for last, I had the best Baklava I’ve had in awhile, each bite of layered pastry was deliciously light and crisp, filledwith chopped nuts and sweetened with honey/simple syrup. I’ve always thought of baklava being too sweet to ever enjoy, butlike I said this was the best baklava I’ve ever had. The sweetness level was light enough to enjoy all the different elementsof the dessert, the layers, textures, and flavors. Just divine! Please check this place out! Read more
Really liked this place. Exposed to a whole new cuisine with dishes that really highlighted a culture I was not too familiar... with. The hummus and tabouli were especially good and since then inspired me to start making them myself regularly. Some of thedishes I could not even name for you right now. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for something exotic anddifferent. Read more

I Spent my 40th birthday here with my friends and family. It was an experience I will never forget. It felt like home; Elegant,... Classy and down to earth, all wrapped up into one! They had delicious hearty vegan options which are hard to find at restaurantsthat are not primarily vegan. The live entertainment by musician, "Mitchell Kaltsunas" and the belly dancer, "Elizabeth" were anabsolute hit. So engaging! The staff accommodated our party of 20 with ease. Everyone was pleased with their meals. This is anew staple for us. I ate, I danced, I sang and everything in between. What a first impression! We will definitely be back... andoften! Thank you for helping me bring in 40 with the best vibrations a gal could ask for. Peace and Blessings.... Read more

This was my first time trying a Lebanese restaurant and I was gladly surprised by the quality of the food and service there. The... place is very nice and spacious. The tables were clean and with white towels. The food was very tasty, good looking and withmoderate amount of food on plates like I'm used from Europe were I'm from. Actually everything had more of an European stylethan everything we usually try in usa local restaurants. If you want to try a Lebanese or middle east type food but with someEuropean style in the middle you definitely have to try this place. Read more
