Al Wadi - Mediterranean restaurant in West Roxbury - 1249 VFW Pkwy, USA

Al Wadi does not fail to impress! There is a beautiful dining atmosphere with attentive staff and delicious food. The Manager sat us in a nice corner booth with gorgeous pillows and closed the blinds so the sun was not in our eyes. Our beautiful waitress was highly attentive and helped with any questions. They make sure not to rush you out the door which I really appreciate. The food was executed with precision and with a lot of love. We ordered some dishes we were already familiar, but new ones as well. It felt as though someone had invited me into their home for an exceptional dining experience! I made sure to grab some baklava to go!

I embarked on a 45-minute journey to experience the culinary delight of this Middle Eastern gem, and it was worth every mile. The food, a symphony of flavors, was not only outstanding but also remarkably fresh. The server's kindness and thoughtfulness added an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience, making it truly memorable. This restaurant is a testament to the artistry of Middle Eastern cuisine and hospitality.

We drove 30 mins for this restaurant and it’s worth every minute. The food is nothing short of fantastic and so consistent! Great service too! Recommend the cauliflower appetizer and the chicken shish-taouk!

Beautiful restaurant, amicable staff and wonderful ambiance. I went there on a Sat nite to celebrate a friends birthday. I arrived early and they were willing to sit me if I would like to or just sit at the bar. The hostess was very friendly. Our waitress was super nice and patience as we were a party of 10. We ordered several appetizers and our main dish later. Everything came good as ordered and the food was so so tasty! I couldn’t pick a favorite. The meal portions are big so make sure you go with an appetite. This place has parking lot although I wish it was bigger. The belly dancer was amazing. You go for a meal and get a show too! Overall “I can’t wait to go again” P.S. it came in handy to have cash to tip the dancer.

One of the better places to eat traditional middle eastern dishes. Staff does a good job - most of them are friendly and helpful. While we liked most of what we got - we also felt that some pairings seemed off - such as which rice was served with which dish and how sweet or well cooked some of the sweet dishes were. Overall - it is worth going back to.

Had heard a lot about this place, so decided to give it a try! Ambiance (5/5) : I loved the vibe at this place! Food (4.5/5): I liked the appetizer, however the Lamb Kebab could have been better! Hospitality (5/5) I loved the people that work here, they were so kind and served with love. Menu (4/5): could have more items on the menu

Our server Sylvia is exceptional. She's friendly and always has a smile. She recommended a few choices that I wasn't sure about, but this turned out to be really good. The atmosphere is quite romantic, not crowded, and clean. There is plenty of parking in the back as well as the front of the establishment. The food is great! I recommend this place for those who have adventurous palate. Ask for Sylvia. She'll make your dining experience awesome.

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 chicken soup. Next, we had an array of appetizers: pita and hummus, tabouli, and stuffed grape leaves. The pita was freshly baked with a great bite to it. the hummus was deliciously creamy, made with tahini sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Made fresh with parsley, mint, wheat bulgur, tomatoes, onions, lots of lemon juice and olive oil, it was hands down the best Tabouli we’ve ever had! The stuffed grape leaves were pretty tasty, with rice, spices, and lemon juice. Next, out came the main course of chicken kebabs, kafta kebabs, and baked kibbeh. I personally loved the chicken kebabs, as they were well spiced and juicy with every bite. I did not like the kafta kebabs which were made of seasoned ground lamb only because I personally don’t like gamey meat (if you like lamb, you’ll love these). The baked kibbeh was made with ground beef, cracked wheat, and pine nuts. A very interesting dish, again if you like gamey meat, you’ll love this. Finally, we ended the meal with dessert: baklava and namoura. The namoura was tasty with an interesting texture, made from semolina flour and yogurt and soaked in syrup. Saving the best for last, I had the best Baklava I’ve had in awhile, each bite of layered pastry was deliciously light and crisp, filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with honey/simple syrup. I’ve always thought of baklava being too sweet to ever enjoy, but like I said this was the best baklava I’ve ever had. The sweetness level was light enough to enjoy all the different elements of the dessert, the layers, textures, and flavors. Just divine! Please check this place out!
