Delicious! Creamy clam chowder, perfectly balanced hummus and baba ganoush, and meats that melt in your mouth. My only regret is not ordering a seafood option because I was recommended the mixed grill, which was delicious all the same. Will be back!

The restaurant was really great! The food was delicious and we had such a nice time there. The lemon and mint drink was so fresh and tasty. We hadn’t enjoyed a meal like this in a long time! We really liked the atmosphere and everything was wonderful.

First time here. What an amazing experience. Jesse was engaging and informative. The food is tasty. Husband had the branzino. I had the Salmon w/dill sauce. Presentation is on point. Definitely will return.

Great food and great service! Staff was super attentive and made sure everything was up to our standards. The shrimp Alfredo was great, and the grilled salmon with dill sauce was so tender it was falling apart. No details were missed with the decor (the interior is beautiful!), or even the employee uniforms. My one complaint is that the calamari appetizer did not come with a sufficient amount of calamari for the price. Regardless, I would return with more family and friends

Simply incredible. Had the seafood tower and tuna tartar and couldn't be happier. Large portions, great presentation, big flavors. We can't wait to come back.

The best restaurant in the States Excellent service All employees are helpful and friendly. The food is tasty and delicious. Their open buffet has a lot of options. Everything was yummy Highly recommended We are visiting from the state of Georgia, and this place is the best spot to eat.

Seafood is amazing here. They have a nice middle eastern twist to it, compared to your other seafood restaurants. Mediterranean food is mid (don’t come here for that). The middle eastern style Branzino was amazing. The seafood tower was pretty good. The dynamite shrimp was a hit for the group (like most of the other reviews). The mixed kabob platter was my least favorite thing, but what do you expect at a seafood restaurant? Lastly... the kinafah is made fresh and is absolutely worth the wait (10 minutes). If you left room for desert, don’t leave without it.

My boyfriend and I visited Al Bahaar on 4/26, and we were absolutely blown away! I meant to write this review right after our visit, but life got hectic—still, the food and service were so incredible that I had to come back and share our experience. Jessie was phenomenal! Even with a 300-person party going on at the same time, he provided the most attentive and personable service we could have asked for. Everything we ordered was outstanding: the mint lemonade, lamb chops, mixed vegetables, chateau potatoes, grilled seafood mix, batata harra—even the mozzarella sticks! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Jessie even explained how fresh the lamb chops were—a true farm-to-table experience. I could go on and on about this place. We’re already looking forward to returning and trying even more from the menu. Huge thanks to Jessie for making our visit so special!
