“ This review is for Ramadan buffet, the fast break at sunset. The buffet offers multiple Palestinian traditional dishes, from Chicken Mandi, to Lamb Kabse, kabobs, and much more. They also offer Mediterranean classics like hummus, babaghanouj, Fatayer, and other offerings. Service was friendly, and the food variety a great opportunity to sample different traditional dishes. I believe the buffet option is available outside Ramadan period on weekends. ”

“ This is seriously the most delicious halal restaurant in the whole DMV. The first time I went to Bawadi was in 2021, and I fell in love with it. The service is always very welcoming, and the ambiance is familiar. It doesn't matter how many times you come; it never gets repetitive, and all of the dishes are amazing. My latest discovery was the eggplant salad, and it was mind-blowing. May Allah (SWT) keep blessing this restaurant. ”
“ Well if your GPS takes you around to the back parking lot like mine did, it might look rather unassuming BUT go INSIDE! You will not be disappointed! The pita is made fresh in house in a wood fired oven! You pass it as you head to the inside seating area. There's also an outside area and they have hooka too The food is buffet style with different hot options depending on the day. Kabobs, roasted chicken and rice seem to be staples. Then different stews and rice. Salad, hummus, tzatziki, and babaganush are cold option staples. Different coffees, espresso, tea, FRESH lemonade (gotta try it!) as well as canned sodas. Deserts are plentiful variety of baklava and other sweets I can't remember the name of. They are all delicious. Folks are friendly and happy to explain the different foods if you're not familiar. We'll be back again for sure! ”
