al Badawi

"I came here with my coworkers and they all loved it. I grew up eating mansaf so I was a bit disappointed by the way this was prepped (it even tasted a bit sweet, almost like they added rose water to it). The food was good though, just don’t expect an extremely authentic Jordanian mansaf. The lamb was delicious though, did not taste very gamey"

"Came here last month during a work trip to NYC and loved it! Within a minute of sitting down, I had warm fresh bread, olive oil and olives on the table that were delicious. The staff were so friendly and helped me choose the right dish - I wanted to try every traditional dish but being solo, I couldn't have everything and decided on the Ouzi lamb. It was incredible. The meat was tender and fell off the bone and the rice had so much flavour. I've been thinking about that dish ever since. Definitely will go back next time I'm in New York."

"I was expecting it to be good but ended up being blown away. Like wow. So flavorful. Exactly what I needed, and everyone in the restaurant was so nice and attentive. Got malfouf and lamb chops. Everything tasted so fresh—and the olive oil!! Even just a drop is so good and robust. Can’t wait to go back."

"Been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint in any way. Amazing service, great suggestions from our waiter, huge portions, great balanced flavors, gorgeous environment. The mural and plant walls were beautiful. Great experience!!"
