Al Wadi - WEST ROXBURY

My husband and I got the prix fixe dinner for two and the food was amazing. Probably some of the best Lebanese food I've had in Boston! And the belly dancer Elizabeth and live musician make it such a fun and lively environment. I would recommend this place to everyone, my husband and I still talk about how good the food was.

Had heard a lot about this place, so decided to give it a try! Ambiance (5/5) : I loved the vibe at this place! Food (4.5/5): I liked the appetizer, however the Lamb Kebab could have been better! Hospitality (5/5) I loved the people that work here, they were so kind and served with love. Menu (4/5): could have more items on the menu

What a wonderful experience! We had our son's 1st Communion at Al-Wadi and the staff was such a delight, the food was amazing and the owner was the best to work with. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Thank you so much for making our son's Communion celebration complete! Looking forward to return for family dinners!

First time here at @alwadiboston and what a wonderful Lebanese dinner experience we had! We got the Al Wadi for two and were completely stuffed with leftovers to take home First, we started off our feast with a deliciously comforting bowl of chicken soup. Next, we had an array of appetizers: pita and hummus, tabouli, and stuffed grape leaves. The pita was freshly baked with a great bite to it. the hummus was deliciously creamy, made with tahini sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil. Made fresh with parsley, mint, wheat bulgur, tomatoes, onions, lots of lemon juice and olive oil, it was hands down the best Tabouli we’ve ever had! The stuffed grape leaves were pretty tasty, with rice, spices, and lemon juice. Next, out came the main course of chicken kebabs, kafta kebabs, and baked kibbeh. I personally loved the chicken kebabs, as they were well spiced and juicy with every bite. I did not like the kafta kebabs which were made of seasoned ground lamb only because I personally don’t like gamey meat (if you like lamb, you’ll love these). The baked kibbeh was made with ground beef, cracked wheat, and pine nuts. A very interesting dish, again if you like gamey meat, you’ll love this. Finally, we ended the meal with dessert: baklava and namoura. The namoura was tasty with an interesting texture, made from semolina flour and yogurt and soaked in syrup. Saving the best for last, I had the best Baklava I’ve had in awhile, each bite of layered pastry was deliciously light and crisp, filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with honey/simple syrup. I’ve always thought of baklava being too sweet to ever enjoy, but like I said this was the best baklava I’ve ever had. The sweetness level was light enough to enjoy all the different elements of the dessert, the layers, textures, and flavors. Just divine! Please check this place out!

Really liked this place. Exposed to a whole new cuisine with dishes that really highlighted a culture I was not too familiar with. The hummus and tabouli were especially good and since then inspired me to start making them myself regularly. Some of the dishes I could not even name for you right now. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for something exotic and different.
