This restaurant has the potential to be a 5 star experience. It's one of those hit or miss kind of places. Definitely ask questions, be friendly and intrigued. Post your own pictures as well to help aid in promoting their business and offering more visibility for their business if you can. The salmon was really good. It had a crispy candied essence to it, highly recommended! The broccolini was too salty, and the rice was fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken was lightly seasoned at best, it more so had a tasty charred flavor. The complimentary pita is fresh and excellent. The sampler was good, but seemed to lack a pazazz of flavor I wish it possessed. Overall it really was a great experience. A bit pricey for what you get, but the vibe and atmosphere is really relaxing and enjoyable. Service was alright, they got the job done, not perfect, but not bad either. I do recommend this restaurant as the options for of a Mediterranean restaurant in this price range are limited in this area. Enjoy!

Food & drinks were excellent. Pricing was fair. Service left something to be desired, as they seemed understaffed.

A friend of mine was in town from New York so we decided to go to Al Dar. When you walk in, you are greeted with the sight of a bar with a couple of TVs to your right and on your left is the main dining room. The main dining room is elegant with a Mediterranean feel. The bar serves high-quality drinks and does not have a rowdy crowd allowing you to bring children. They also have some limited outdoor seating. Once inside the hostess greeted me. She quickly escorted me to my seat. However, she was unaware of what they had drink-wise. In the middle of the meal, she just left and April became the waitress.I started off with the grilled calamari. It was actually really solid. It was nice and flavorful! It also was topped with some nice lemon. For my entree, I got chicken and pasta. The pasta was really good topped with parsley and cream sauce. However, the chicken was a little hard. Al Dar can be pretty pricey, but that can be expected with most Main Line restaurants. Altogether, I had a good meal andI will return!

Stop here often since it's right down the street from our personal training studio. The menu has interesting food choices that are good. And the price is very reasonable. Chris Vtrainers Personal Training.

The other night my wife and I did takeout and it was fantastic. I actually ordered through Yelp (powered by Grub Hub) for delivery and we received in 30 min. She got the Artic Char and I got the coconut salmon - both outstanding! When we get takeout, we typically are not impressed with the presentation because, well, it's takeout however Al Dar put each entree in a large enough container that it looked like the plate you would have received at the restaurant. We also shared the chilled moussaka which was outstanding. They also provided three large pitas and their famous dipping oil. Everything was warm (with the exception of the chilled moussaka of course.) Even the pita was warm and we live about 15 min away from Al Dar. Very impressed with the service and I'm glad we were able to support a local business during this challenging time. Thank you Al Dar! We will be back!

Worst meal we have had in a very long time. Service was fine, and that is the best you can say about Aldar. Worst Gyro I have had in more than 50 years. No taste. Lamb was small overcooked strips that had probably been just sitting around. Veggie Moussaka had no taste, but at least the rice and veggies would have been good if they were hot. Mussels were tasteless. Will never go back. Buyer be ware

We just had our son's Rehearsal dinner at Aldar Bistro. Our out of town guests were raving about the food and we agreed. Walid was a pleasure to work with and was as excited about our event as we were. We were welcomed as if we were family. The private room made for a nice atmosphere to have our rehearsal dinner. Service was fantastic and we felt there was great value at this restaurant. We highly recommend a visit and it is a great choice if you have a larger group event.

This was such a disappointment. The Greek salad was a regular salad with Feta cheese on top and 2 tiny olives.The Gyso has overcooked, dry lamb and not enough yogurt so it was dry too.The place is lovely and waiter was fantastic but not the food

Good good and like their service and ambiance. Would recommend their octopus and chicken dishes. Strange that they have beer taps at the bar but no tapped beer but decent bottled collection. Loyal clientele who are treated like family so good place to be a regular.

Aldar is a bit of an undiscovered, unappreciated Main Line treasure. The dining room is attractive with a full bar. They're very welcoming and the service is very good. Most importantly, their large menu of Middle Eastern and continental specialities feature super fresh and high quality ingredients. Their salads and vegetables are terrific and their entrees are cooked with care and are excellent.
