Review Al Dar Bistro - Bala Cynwyd

I was excited to try this place when I was searching for middle eastern restaurants near by. The food was really delicious and huge portions! The naan was amazing as was the olive oil dip that came with it. The grilled octopus was DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend!!!

I really give this establishment 10 stars. Upscale feel with Old World Cafe vibes. I ordered a grilled, pistachio encrusted, artic char with couscous and bok choy. It makes a huge difference when restaurants cook everything fresh with attention to every detail. The meal was outstanding. Pleasant service throughout the evening. I definitely recommend .

I had worked in the basement replacing the furnace and ever time I passed this one closed door I would get dizzy and lose my balance as I'm falling into the walls like a pin ball in this small hallway. This went on for 2days straight, these dead people keep trying to knock me over, i was getting beat up by dead people! It wasn't until the 3rd day when I pulled up out back of the restaurant and I didn't feel anything , that Panic, not able too breathe rite, paranoid dizzy, time slowing down effect disappeared, Now I'm really confused, but then seconds later I watched this woman pull up and walk in the restaurant, so I get out and follow her, just to watch her go rite down the steps and open the door too that room... I thought to myself, well , today is going to be an easier day , that's for sure! thanks lady!!! 😊

Update: Got take out last night for 4 of us. They did a great job packaging all the food. Falafel on the side so it didn't get soggy in the salad. The kafta kebab was delicious. Flavors were so good. The rice was like crack with all the flavors. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. Still a little crunch and color. The Israeli salad was made with beautiful ripe red tomatoes. Didn't love the salad dressing that it came with (on the side) but I used some of the pita dipping oil and that was supurb. ---- Everything is so fresh and delicious. The pita and oil is like crack. Soooo addicting. Great spot for my vegan daughter. So much to choose from.

this place is truly amazing!!! the owners are very kind and service was so good!! And the food is delicious ❤️

We call him Waleed bayk el m3allim, in other words, Waleed is the man, he is the boss. Amazing familial atmosphere, very warm and welcoming. The caring and service was top notch. I would move to that neighborhood just to see those guys more often and enjoy the nice bite with a nice drink. Thank you guys
