The food is delicious here. The meat is well done and still juicy, and they are not stingy with the sauces, which I am extremely appreciative of. Everything is so flavorful. My sister tried for the first time, and said it was the best falafel she’s ever had, and I agree. The staff is extremely friendly and food is ready fast! I love this spot!

We went for the first time last night and it was so delicous!!! Great experience! I was in the mood for a salad with falafal but I didnt see that on the menu so I asked if I could get that and the super awesome guy that worked there hooked me right up. I got the mediteranean salad with little heart falafels. My husband got the lamb kabob wrap. Through the whole time eating our meal, we said over and over how good it was! My salad had so much STUFF in it! A lot of places make salads with a lot of lettuce and sprinkles of other ingredients - not here!!! This salad had a mix of different ingredients in every bite and everything was sooo fresh. You get an amazing meal and dont feel all stuffed and bloated lbecause the ingredients are high quality. The guys are awesome, super nice, and so helpful. Love that! So happy and such a fan that we went back again tonight!!!! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The owner was there and talked to us ... shared a delicous treat with us and he definitely appreciates his customers. Tonight I got a Greek salad with heart falafals. Did not disappoint! Another great salad with lots of STUFF, my favorite! I love a healthy meal with super fresh ingredients. Love you guys and cant wait to come back!!! New favorite.

I went to Alani’s this past weekend and was blown away by the amazing customer service. My mom and I were undecided and the owner took the time out to make recommendations and made sure we were fully satisfied . He even jumped behind the counter and made our food to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted. We got the vegetarian platter and a side of rice and fries and everything was fresh and flavorful. The fries were hot and crispy. This was my first time trying falafel and it for sure won’t be my last. We will definitely be back again! Thank you for your amazing hospitality!

The lamp karab was sooo good! The lamp was well-cooked! And the wrap was a bit crispy! So nice! The dessert was amazing, sweet and crispy! I love all of them! It’s truly a wonderful adventure for me to randomly select one restaurant nearby.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent. The staff was kind and patient as this was our first time there. They had tea there that was free for guest and the tea was delicious. Also the owner offered us free baklava to try. Everything was wonderful.

I went here with a friend a little while ago after a long day at a conference. We aren't from the area and wanted to try some Mediterranean food. I am so happy we chose this location. The employees there were so kind and hospitable. Not only that, the food was SO GOOD! The only downside is that I live far from Alanis Mediterranean Bistro. Go there; it won't disappoint! If I am ever in the area, I will definitely return!

The food here is amazing! Anytime I miss my family’s home cooked meals, I go to Alani’s. I get the Alani platter because everything thing there is too good to just pick one. The baba Ganoush is a personal favorite of mine. All of their food is always fresh and served hot! The staff is super friendly and kind and always takes great care of their customers!

Hands down the best hummus I’ve had in my life, no joke. The chicken skewers, grape leaves, and pickled veggies are favorites of mine as well. Quick and easy, delicious and healthy... I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
