Reviews
If you’re going for the Iftar buffet, make reservations early and clearly state your seating needs. The restaurant gets extremely packed and seating is tight. Not all tables offer the same space, so if you have elderly guests, kids, or need extra room, mention it when booking. Arriving early helped us with parking and allowed the staff to switch us to a more comfortable table.
The food was delicious with a great variety — something for everyone. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and despite how busy it was, the staff worked hard and were accommodating.
A few things to note: parking was hectic, we had to call twice to confirm our reservation, and service can take patience during peak hours. Our bill for two came to about $120, with an automatic 18% service charge added (plus a tip line). While the food was very good, the total was a bit higher than expected.
Overall, great food and a festive Iftar atmosphere — just plan ahead and arrive early for the best experience.
I recently dined at Bawadi Mediterranean Grill and it was an amazing experience from start to finish.
️ Food:
The flavors were rich, fresh, and truly authentic. The hummus was creamy, the falafel crispy, and the lamb shawarma was packed with spice and tenderness. Every dish tasted homemade and full of heart.
Atmosphere:
The setting is clean, cozy, and welcoming — perfect for both casual meals and small gatherings. You can feel the cultural touch in the decor and service.
Service:
Staff were friendly, fast, and helpful with recommendations. They made sure everything was to our liking and even offered complimentary tea at the end.
Price:
Portions are generous and fairly priced for the quality. Great value for authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
Final Verdict:
If you’re craving flavorful, well-prepared Mediterranean food with genuine hospitality, Bawadi Mediterranean Grill is a must-try. Highly recommended! Try their buffet every Monday and Thursday.
I tried the Ramadan Iftar buffet this year, and the selection was excellent. The food was always fresh and restocked almost immediately. I especially love the hummus — it’s the best I’ve had in the area. The fresh salads are great, and I also really enjoy the chicken shawarma, mulukhia, and lamb mandi.
I do wish they would add beef samosas and traditional Ramadan drinks like Vimto.
Highly recommend. I’ve seen a few reviews mention pricing, but honestly, compared to other restaurants, they offer a much bigger variety of dishes, and the food tastes great. Definitely worth it.
This time, I ordered catering for my iftar, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. Everything was just as fresh as it would be dining in the restaurant.. perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. They were incredibly thoughtful with the packaging and made sure to include every single detail I could possibly need to make the catering seamless and special.
From the quality of the food to the care they put into preparation and service, Bawadi never disappoints. Highly recommend for both dining in and catering, especially for special gatherings!
Their molokhya tastes exactly like my mom’s, and their mint lemonade is incredibly refreshing. I always leave happy and satisfied!
