Worst meal we have had in a very long time. Service was fine, and that is the best you can say about Aldar. Worst Gyro I have had in more than 50 years. No taste. Lamb was small overcooked strips that had probably been just sitting around. Veggie Moussaka had no taste, but at least the rice and veggies would have been good if they were hot. Mussels were tasteless. Will never go back. Buyer be ware

This place is always amazing. The food is fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared every time. Walid is a gem of a human who always makes you feel special when you come in and puts a smile on your face. 5/5, 10/10. Will always recommend this restaurant!!

Food & drinks were excellent. Pricing was fair. Service left something to be desired, as they seemed understaffed.

The appetizers are wonderful, the rack of lamb is outstanding! The staff is welcoming and friendly. This is my favorite restaurant. Thank you, Al Dar's!Vegetarian options: Both of my adult children and one of their 11 year old children are vegetarians. They were delighted to have so many choices.Parking: No problem, there is plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: My children and grandchildren love it here! The last time they were here from Boston and NC, there were 10 of us, from 1 1/2 years old to 81 years young. We had a great time.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps, and most tables are large enough to accomodate a wheelchair.

We just had our son's Rehearsal dinner at Aldar Bistro. Our out of town guests were raving about the food and we agreed. Walid was a pleasure to work with and was as excited about our event as we were. The private room made for a nice atmosphere to have our rehearsal dinner. Service was fantastic and we felt there was great value at this restaurant. We highly recommend a visit and it is a great choice if you have a larger group event.

Great ambiance. Server was off her game and was inattentive, but the food was good.

Good good and like their service and ambiance. Would recommend their octopus and chicken dishes. Strange that they have beer taps at the bar but no tapped beer but decent bottled collection. Loyal clientele who are treated like family so good place to be a regular.

This place has horrible customer service. They canceled my order after waiting an hour (I was willing to wait) under the prepairing food status only to tell me that they're now closed and that it's not on them. He advised that I should take it up with doordash. I told them that I'd be willing to pick it up as I am 12 minutes away and he rudely told me if I'm not there in 12 he won't be there. No one reached out to me to give me a heads up and they just closed! Then told me I should thank him for allowing exactly 12 minutes to come. Hopefully this place takes accountability for their decision to use doordash and act like people getting their food is a privilege. I'm leaving this review on a previous order because I can't leave it on the cancelled order.

This was such a disappointment. The Greek salad was a regular salad with Feta cheese on top and 2 tiny olives. The Gyso has overcooked, dry lamb and not enough yogurt so it was dry too. The place is lovely and waiter was fantastic but not the food

Ordered three different dishes for take out. They were so bland (how can a Moroccan chicken dish have no flavor?), and one of the chicken breasts was hard as rubber. Very disappointing as we’ve heard great things.

5 star service and the food was fresh and flavorful.
