Alwadi

"While the location may be in an older strip mall, do not let the exterior fool you. I cannot say enough great things about Alwadi; the food, the staff are all exceptional! The chicken shawarma, as a sandwich or entree is my go to; however, no matter what your palette is, you will leave here satisfied! Highly recommend!"

"So I was at IAH for work, and Awaldi was close by. On day one it was a very late lunch and didn't want to have their falafel because I thought I would be disappointed, so I had the tabouli with lamb instead. It tasted like it's what an authentic dish would taste like, lol! In other words, it was fresh tasting. So back to the falafel. My coworker took a chance and ordered the falafel and these were her words, "I haven't had falafel this good in over ten years!" And with that said, we returned the next day for more of their food. I loved this place. It's clean and fast service during lunch hours. I wish there was one near HOBBY AIRPORT."

"Ordered to go, a lamb/beef Gyro, chicken shawarma, and rice . Gyro was dry, shawarma was okay, rice was bland, garlic sauce was good.... maybe just an off day , the AC was out so I waited in my car while my food was getting ready. will give them another try when in the area"

"Delicious food and service. Always consistent taste. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Good Halal Option if you’re in the JFK Airport area. I have been getting their combo meat over Fries for years. (Chose chicken and beef) The price have certainly gone up for the over all fries Meal but still delicious to justify it. I opted to have Red & White Sauces on the side. Their Shawarma meat is prepped different then traditional style; cooked on skillet grill rather then rotating shawarma grill."

"Been here a few times for lunch now. They have pretty big Greek sandwiches here. So far I've tried the chicken kabob sandwich and the their Gyro sandwich. In all honesty don't know why they call their Gyro a sandwich, it's a Gyro. But if any down I would say. Their sandwiches can get a lil dry so make sure you get a few more white sauce cups to go. They're actually pretty good for dipping your fries into too. Plus make sure you get plenty of napkins before you leave, cause your gonna need them. You get messy!"
