Alwadi Cafe

"A rather unique food choices, but very good. The atmosphere is peaceful and serenity. Customer service is delightful to see genuine smiles. Price is moderate, but it's worth it."

"One of my favorite restaurants! Excellent food and wonderful owners and staff! Thanks Emad and Salwa!"

"Absolutely love this food! We ordered Mezza appetizer, Moussaka, Manakeesh beef, gyro and fries. We got it to go and we live 20 minutes away still hot and fresh when we got home! Every bit of it was super tasty and satisfying!!"

"We’ve anticipated coming here for weeks and chose this based on the stellar reviews, but oh man am I hugely disappointed! Lebanese (and Mid Eastern/ Mediterranean in general) is my absolute favorite and I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying some amazing, authentic cuisine back home and here in DFW, but this was a big miss! I stopped in and was the only customer Tuesday afternoon and ordered Kabob dinners, tabbouleh, and the Sambousek (both meat and cheese) to go. The Sambouseks were already cold when I got home a whopping 6 minutes away, but even more importantly, tiny with hardly any filling inside. The meat seemed old and my husband thought the cheese tasted sour. Speaking of sour, the tabbouleh was seriously inedible! I took one bite and had to spit it out because it tastes sour and rotten. The chicken kabob, my husband enjoyed, but my kafta was overly salted and had a charred flavor. The rice and grilled veggies were the only redeeming elements in these meals. They were cooked very well. The accompanying sauce was also too bitter. Which is crazy because my palate preferences are salty,sour, charred foods… but this was all overkill. Can’t believe I can say this; but I’ve had much better at a local Americanized chain Mediterranean restaurant there… and that’s saying something."

"Finally tried this place out after years of driving by and not remembering to stop in. Quickly greeted and seated when we arrived around 6 pm. There were a few customers and everyone appeared to be enjoying the restaurant and food. Started with a calamari ($7.99) which was delicious. Good portion size, price and nice semi-spicy accompanying sauce. Wife had the vegetarian sampler ($13.99). Son had the falafel platter ($5.99) with add-on side of fries ($1.99) and small hummus ($3.99). I had the shwarma combo dinner ($14.99). Consistent flavors and good presentation. In the midst of dinner, they were swamped with a party of 10 and shortly afterwards another party of 7. Our waitress did a great job while managing the entire restaurant along with training a new employee. Definitely worth a visit if you've never eaten here."
