Get the fattat jaj. It's chicken and rice with crispy , toasted almonds, and garlic yogurt, and it's the dish people name most. The ouzi and the mezze platter come up a lot for groups. Portions are big enough that two people can split an entree. The one repeated complaint is that the seasoning runs mild and Americanized.

“Al Badawi is amazing! Definitely try the Musakhan—it’s their signature dish and it's delicious. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the sumac gives it a unique flavor. The Kibbeh and Hummus are also top-notch, perfect for sharing.”
