    Food was well prepared and abundant. Our server was friendly and offered suggestions for us. The lamb stew was good and the stuffed zucchini (special) was really great. We had not been there in a while, but will definitely go back again soon.

    Went to Al Wadi for a goodbye dinner and was very happy with the experience! We ordered small plates to share - hummus, vegetarian grape leaves, sfeha, and halloumi. Everything was delicious and the waitress was friendly and patient! Would definitely go back to try other dishes.

    Drove past several times and finally decided to visit for dinner. Was delighted with the food and highly recommend. My bf is from Cyprus and we both eat and cook a lot of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, and Al Wadi was not only authentic but delicious as well.

    We shared 6 small plates (mezze) among 2 of us and we were delighted every dish was delicious. So much food we had to ask for a doggie bag. Don’t miss the roasted cauliflower! Would love to go back soon to try the entrees. The Lebanese white wine was also delicious as was the riesling by the glass. You won’t be disappointed! Only wish it were closer to my house, but we’ll definitely be back!

    Found this place on Google/Open Table/Trip Advisor. Love Lebanese food so went there with another couple. Friendly staff, not pushy. Informal but nice room with bar. Excellent mezze / wine / salads/. Location easy to get to. Would definitely recommend for good food and nice staff. Definitely going back.

    My husband and I have been coming to Al Wadi for over a year and the food is always excellent, the customer service outstanding and the portions are very generous. I decided to celebrated my birthday dinner in here and it didn’t disappoint. Every one of my guest loved the food, we got great customer and on that Saturday they had a beautiful and sweet belly dancer. The food, the show, the service all outstanding. Highly recommended.

    I want to express how delighted I am with our outing last night to Al Wadi. It was a special occasion and they gave us spectacular VIP treatment. There was also live music and belly dancing, which was a lot of fun. We have been going to Al Wadi for years and have always had positive experiences. We wish them well!

    Great establishment. Wasn’t quite sure if we could get in at the last minute but management made this experience worth the while. We were a party of eleven that left with full stomached, smiles, and a complete feeling of satisfaction. We’ll done Al Wadi. We’ll done.

    Great place for a family dinner! They kindly set up a table for us in a quieter part of the restaurant, so we could chat easily and still enjoy the live music and belly dancing. Server was very kind and took care of special requests. Even called me afterwards when we accidentally double tipped (tipped on to of service included). Food was yummy with large servings. A warm, well run, family friendly place. Would definitely recommend.
