"Great Arabic / Mediterranean restaurant just off Ludlow in Gaslight Clifton with reasonable prices and excellent service. Good parking too. Traditional favorites, including dessert. Nice decor and music. I came for lunch before an afternoon movie at the Esquire and food was fast. I really enjoyed my Kefta Kebob and Lentil Soup with Turkish Coffee. They also have some desserts, but I was full already (I'll try them next time)."

"I was really impressed with this place. The food is really good and reasonably priced. I liked everything I ordered. They have a nice atmosphere, and the cooking area/grill is in full view which I like. Will for sure be back, and would love to try the Friday lunch buffet some time. Edit: I was told they no longer do the Friday lunch buffet. A shame I never went to try it, but I'll still be back for the regular menu."

"Today, my family and I visited Baladi Restaurant for lunch, and we had such a lovely experience. It’s a cozy, Middle Eastern style spot with a great atmosphere. We ordered the Baladi Sampler and the Baladi Grill both were incredibly delicious and full of flavor. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the food was definitely worth it!"

"AVOID EATING HERE!!! Outrageous HIGH prices at an outrageously LOW quality. I was extremely excited to try one of the very few shawarma places in the area, so I ordered on DoorDash, and I was shocked of the quality beyond belief🙃 I ordered kibbeh, tabbouleh, yalanji (was missing), fries, harissa, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, and beef kebab sandwiches, my total was about $105, over $100!!!!!!! And the sandwiches were dry like chewing on paper!!! The chicken shawarma especially had no garlic sauce, no nothing for flavor, literally half a piece of pickle, and that isn’t an exaggeration!!! The beef shawarma had more fat pieces than beef, the sandwich was 99% tightly wrapped bread, and 1% meat, no other ingredients as mentioned in the menu! I’m just totally disappointed, I had a decent level of expectations based on the reviews on this place! There was barely no tabbouleh in the plate for that price!! And $14.62 for yalanji that was even missing! Don’t even make me start on the harissa. Outrageous prices at an outrageously LOW poor quality. Except the kebbeh was well made, to be fair. Either close down the restaurant or pay attention to what you’re serving your community! Cheaping out on ingredients is embarrassing."

"Syrian food selection was impressive and vast. Good food served up by a friendly waitstaff. My surprised treat is the lemonade mint drink."
