Al Bahaar
Khaled Robaidi · 271 Google reviewsAl Bahaar — among the best food in Orland Park. The flavors don't apologize for being bold. Service that's warm without being over the top. "Jessie even explained how fresh the lamb chops were—a true farm-to-table experience" — Brit Gaynor [$$$]

“One of the greatest seafood experiences in the US. Everything about Al Bahaar is excellent! From decorations, to service, to the food itself. The owner is well known for his extreme care about his restaurant businesses so you come expecting a great experience. The menu is diverse and spent so much time trying to decide on what time as everything was tempting to order. Ultimately we decided to go for a seafood tower which provide a bit of everything and it was phenomenal. The fish seasoning was among the best I ever had. Wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.”
“Saeed truly sets the standard for hospitality. He is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, and he makes every guest feel important the moment they arrive. His professionalism and warmth create an atmosphere that’s hard to find elsewhere. Because of Saeed, this restaurant feels comfortable and familiar, like a place you want to keep coming back to. Outstanding host and an even better person.”
“Very good restaurant and great food and good service Me and my family were very lucky to have a great time in the restaurant Thanks 🙏 Good luck 👍”
“Wooow! Just landed in Chicago and our friends drive us straight here for dinner. The decor was very well done and service was top notch (the resturant was not filled) The servers were attentive and brought out our food immediately. We had a mix of grill meat and the red snapper- so delicious. The fresh bread with the various dips of hummus, baba ganoush and labneh great starter to our meal. The shrimp was popping with flavor! Various meals were alllll tender with the right amount of flavor- huge portions. We were 9 people and had plenty of left overs! Seating is plenty. Al Bahaar just got a loyal customer! 11/10”
