Al Wadi Cafe

The establishment provided an exceptional experience, characterized by an intimate and inviting ambiance. Our server demonstrated professionalism and attentiveness throughout the dining experience. The Sunday buffet offered an impressive array of delectable dishes, catering to a wide range of preferences. We eagerly anticipate our next visit.

I’m so happy. I’m Lebanese and I grew up in El Paso where my grandparents on both sides made epic Lebanese food. Greek food is not Lebanese food, so it’s been frustrating for me to find some of the classics I grew up with. Found them here! They have rolled grape leaves with meat. That’s the Lebanese version. Dolmas are the Greek version and not what I prefer. We will be frequenting and catering from here! So glad I found you! I ate one of the grape leave rolls before taking the picture.

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.

Just enjoyed a tasty buffet lunch with my lovely wife. Food here is always great. The lunch buffet is only Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday.

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!!
