Al Wadi

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!

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 restaurants that are not primarily vegan. The live entertainment by musician, "Mitchell Kaltsunas" and the belly dancer, "Elizabeth" were an absolute hit. So engaging! The staff accommodated our party of 20 with ease. Everyone was pleased with their meals. This is a new staple for us. I ate, I danced, I sang and everything in between. What a first impression! We will definitely be back... and often! Thank you for helping me bring in 40 with the best vibrations a gal could ask for. Peace and Blessings....

Good place for mediteranean food, highly recomend the falfels. The hadock dish was tasty and beef tenderloing kebab was very tasty as well.

Another great Google Maps find. We haven’t had a Lebanese meal since moving to Massachusetts and we were very happy with our delicious meal at Al Wadi. My wife is a vegetarian so she chose two Mezzes that she enjoyed (Lentil Soup and Rekakat) and a side dish of Mdardara. I started with the Soujouk with Tomatoes (house made sausage) and Mixed Grill Platter with tender sausage, beef and chicken. We love that they has Pepsi soda. Our server Oliguerta was very pleasant and managed our table extremely well. We can recommend if you are near Al Wadi it’s well worth the experience.
