Booked a large group event of 20+ people for Ramadan iftaar. They knew it was an iftaar beforehand. When some of us tried to pray individually after breaking our fast, instead of accommodating us with a small corner, they told us to stop. Very disrespectful. Half the restaurant was empty anyways. What a joke as a restaurant that serves “halal” food. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Excellent middler eastern food with vegan options. The place is well decorated and service was good. Parking is tight.

Our family keeps an “Ethnic Cuisine Bucket List” that’s going to be harder to complete, now that we’ve found Al Wadi. We drove 25 miles to check it out, and we cannot wait to come back. We had the mezza sampler platter (beautiful and fresh), and Shakeeb, our attentive server, made sure we ordered well, “but not too well!” Magnificent lamb shank, tabouli, and eggplant stew. Actual quote from our 12-year-old: “There’s going to be a ‘next time,’ right dad?”There most certainly will!Did I mention they have parking, too? Five stars, all the way.Vegetarian options: Vegan, too.Kid-friendliness: Our 12 and 15 year old boys were not put upon and loved it. Other families there with small children.
This place is amazing I am coming back great portions and interesting menu. Loved the cauliflower and dessert the best.

Al Wadi is fantastic! The food is great, service great and the decor/atmosphere is just amazing. We went for a birthday celebration. Didn't know that there was entertainment. There is belly dancing - Elizabeth was excellent. What a surprise and treat! We had falafel, lamb kabobs and a few other apps. So good! HIGHLY recommend!

Outside of restaurant does not look like much. Boy were we surprised by how nice the inside is. Food was delicious and served promptly! Sad we didn't discover this gem sooner!
Stopped in by chance with my parents on a Thursday night, and we were blown away! Great service, cozy and beautifully decorated interior, and the food was amazing. Everything exceeded my expectations- the fattoush with chicken was so flavorful, and the cauliflower was out of this world. Will definitely be coming back.

Meh. Slow service, mediocre food. Too many GOOD places to go in the area to bother with here. Yes, even for mideastern food as served here.

Authentic, delicious, Lebanese cuisine from a family-owned local business. The restaurant is beautiful inside, with comfortable themes and beautifully detailed lamps. More frequently, we use their catering services for parties in our home.Recently, Nadine helped recommend, then beautifully arrange, food for a 16 person party in our home. Delicious chicken and beef kabobs, rice, pita, salad, hummus, falafel, tahini, labneh, baba, and grape leaves. Upon entering our home, our guests took in the amazing smells and reminded us how much they loved our last get together, where we also served Al-Wadi.I highly recommend their tasty family establishment.
I had lamb kebab, medium well, on rice pilaf. The dish was done to perfection. The meat was really tender and flavorful. The rice pilaf was perfectly done.

Al Wadi is one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area! My ethnicity is half-Lebanese, and although I have never been over to Lebanon, Al Wadi's food takes me there. My wife and I have never had a dish that didn't exceed expectations. Service is always excellent and friendly, and we really appreciate all the little details that make an evening at Al Wadi special.
Excellent food and service.
