It was by chance that we stumbled across this small, mom and pop restaurant and we ended up loving everything about this place. The hostess was friendly and helpful and the chef was a sweetheart. She came out from the kitchen to personally give us reccomendations as we were indecisively going through the food options. We ended up ordering the birria tacos and beef shawarma wrap garnished with garlic cream and house sauce. The food was plentiful and phenomenal! We had a fantastic experience and will definitely frequent this establishment! read more

The food was so delicious! Their portions are huge and the presentation of the food in a take out container....WOW....Awesome!! I enjoyed every single bite of it! read more

Fatima's Grill - Shawarma Gyro Mix Plate Beef Gyro Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

See all

For my birthday this year, instead of being able to have a sit down dinner, with strict covid-19 shutdowns, I decided I finally wanted to give Fatima's a try. I have been following them on Instagram and their posts had me craving them for a couple of months now. I am surprised at how great everything was considering I had high expectations after following them on IG. I listened to prior posts and ordered online while driving there. Our guaranteed time was 710pm, so now I know that they don't start on your order until close to your time so no need to go early. Parking is pretty crowded and there are many people lined up to grab their food. Inside they allow only two customers in at a time, ordering and picking up. I am a huge hot cheetos fan but wanted to try their original stuff my first time and then next time dig into something special. Not going to lie, what we experienced was definitely something special. The customer service, the food, the food, the food. Wow! I had the philly with beef and my husband ordered the 3 meat platter without rice. The food came out perfect temperature and we ate in the car. There was an abundance of meat in my philly and it was oozing with cheese. Just the way it should be. The meat was juicy and flavorful. I loved every single bite of it. My husband liked the gyro and chicken from his dish. He said he could have passed on the kafta kabob. But again he said it was infused with flavor and the plate was huge. He kept commenting on how much food he received. I wanted to try their hot sauce, so the owner asked if this was my first time there. I replied yes and he goes take one on the house. Jazak Allah!!! I have not tried it yet, but what great customer service. We will most definitely will be back to try some infusion dishes. Go support this small business because they are exactly what your stomach and heart needs. Way to represent how being a humble business owner should be. read more

This place was more about the hype. Honestly the food was not that great. The burger was probably the only good thing. To top it off we were waiting for one hour and thrifty minutes and then they announced they had run out of hot Cheetos. At this point if you know your business uses so much hot Cheetos why not buy as much as you believe you will use. Anyway not really worth it for the wait. Apology accepted Ali, I suggest you proof read before sending messages.. read more

10 stars if possible. Food amazing staff super cool and friendly. The hot Cheeto crunch wrap is a must have. Highly recommend everyone try it. Ali the owner is the man. Keep it up my guy you're killing it. read more

I visit on saturday but staff dont have manners how to talk with customers one lady standing on counter at night time she speak very badly

This another small place with huge flavor and great prices. We had tacos which came warm, fresh, meaty, with melting cheese. There was a small container of gravy to dip but I drank that as I was dipping my taco in the hot sauce. They served corn tortillas which has a great texture of its own. Some radishes on the side were perfect. The food was filling but not heavy. Inside was a small eating space is a quirky collection of nicknacks and some I felt pretty eating those tacos;-) The wall hanging were reflective of the heritage of the owners and workers Matty at the cash register was such a great guy. Very knowledgeable and easy going. He helped us with all our questions and very gracious host. read more

"I ended up at Fatima's Grill" quit literally. I had been wanting to visit this place since I found out they had a location in Montebello. I just never got around to go. But today, I decided to take the quick drive and head over. Just to find out it's PERMANENTLY CLOSED. (I was so bummed) I did a quick google and seen that the DOWNEY location said open. I went ahead and decided to give the location a call before hand, just to be sure it was up and running. (The phone was answered very quickly.) I let the man who answered know why I was giving them a call. The man on the phone was very kind. Before we hung up the call he said, "drive safe." Personally, it's the little things. You never know what someone is going thru, and that little kind moment can mean so much to someone. Fast forward to arriving to the location. I step up to the register to order, the man at the register says, "you coming from Montebello right?" I'm not even gonna lie I was like what the heck, yes. Lol he's like I saved you guys a table. Mind you the location isn't HUGE, it had maybe like 6/7 tables max. And when we got there it wasn't empty. So right off the back I was like this is AMAZING service. Because yeah, Montebello isnt too far from Downey, but still. I had to drive. lol Back to ordering, I placed my order and he allowed me to pay afterwards. Told me to make myself at home. Which again I love. I wasn't sure if it was a pay up front type of place. The food came out quickly! The presentation of the food was awesome. (Gotta be able to take an IG picture or it didn't happen) the FLAVOR OF THESE DISHES ARE AMAZING!!! They have signature salsa (and yes those were amazing as well) but honestly their food was so flavorful you didn't need to add anything. (But I did) haha while I was eating I noticed the man sweeping, interacting with guest, honestly it looked like he knew everyone who walked in. Just to end this very long review. The service was TOP TEIR but what makes the service outta this world, was that the man serving/taking orders/cleaning/engaging with the guest was THE OWENER! I don't know how you guys feel when you see the owner putting in work out there but I LOVE IT! It just shows how much they love what they do! They're not afraid to be out there working with people. I've worked customer service my whole life. Retail, fast food, hospitality, beauty. I've done it all! And the one thing I always noticed was the uppers always "claimed" to stay grounded and humble but never did I ever see them out there working like where they came from. And I know they don't have to. But it's just a breath of fresh air to see that for a change. Great job to the owner for keeping it real! I'm sure your staff love you. Thank you for making my experience wonderful! Keep it up! read more

Fatima's Grill - The owner working up front - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

"We just want to let you know that we have a wait time of 45 minutes" said an exhausted waiter as we thumbed through the large touch screen replacing what is supposed to be the front cashier for orders. "That's okay, we drove from West LA, we can wait" I responded. The lady gave me a look as if I hadn't read the room. Only one family had food on their table, folks were tapping their feet anxiously waiting for their orders. Turning my head to the door I entered from, I realized the swaths of people hanging around the parking lot were also customers waiting for orders. I realized I shared the same oversight as management did in under-appreciating standard dinner rush hours. As a restaurant in the halal-meat space you are held to a higher standard because you not only represent a dining experience but also the Muslim Ummah. You could learn a thing or two from Tacos Gavilan down the street, with dozens of employees at the front counter ready to serve hungry customers. One could argue Fatima's is a small business but you shouldn't have more than one location if you can't handle the weight of one. Quality over quantity any day. Btw, you're not a boba shop. Your menu is super dense. Maybe an iPad shouldn't replace a human for one of the most critical parts of the assembly line. Disappointed would be an understatement. Conclusion: Dipped out unfed, I bet the lady warning us with the wait time was whispering "Alhamdulillah" to herself. read more

Alright so I've pulled up to this place a couple of times both with friends and with work colleagues over the past couple of years and this joint has never ever failed to disappoint! To begin with the food, I've tried both their traditional Lebanese cuisine and their fusion dishes and BRO. In particular the Burria Burrito with the hot Cheetos toppings. It is just packed with so many different flavors that compliment each other really well for a delicious freaking meal, and the prices are genuinely hella reasonable for the sheer amount of food that you're getting. I'm personally a big fan of their loaded fries (the seasoning on the fries is out of this world) and the Philly Cheese Steak sub, but literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! Aside from the food, the vibe is just great. It's the textbook definition of a hole in the wall/mom and pop type establishment, has great personality with the decor but personally love how they blend a truly SoCal/American culture with their Lebanese roots. Great ambience and the service has never been bad. The food sometimes takes a bit to come out I'll say, but legitimately worth it. It's never been too long that I'm like hella pressed about it, and trust the food is delicious enough to make up for it. Especially if Hassan is working, that dude is the epitome of chill, always great convos and connections with customers. If my friends and I are ever in the area, or even if we're relatively close, Fatima's Grill is the place to go. On my life it won't let you down! read more

The food here is amazing! Always a HIT never a miss! you can't go wrong with LebaMex food fusion and some hot Cheetos with queso on to customer service is always great. read more

Best place in town if like you like lebanese food stop by this hidden gem in downey the chicken shawarma is amazing

Absolutely never disappoints. Crunch wrap, falafel, chile relleno taco, and even their tortas always hit just right. This place is a must every time I'm in there area. The only negative is the lack of heat in the salsas/sauces. read more

Wow! Finally a restaurant that lives up to its reputation. So, this is the actual definition of fusion... Who knew that the marriage of Lebanese and Mexican cuisines would be so delicious. Clearly these guys did! First and foremost, the service here is amazing. Everyone is so welcoming and it is clear that they love the food and their customers. Now on to the food... Everything is extremely fresh and the portions are big. Which is actually a very good thing, because you are going to find yourself wanting more and more. I'm pretty sure you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu, but as a purist I had to try the beef and chicken shawarma. They were perfectly marinated and cooked and probably some of the best shawarma I've had in quite a while. Paired with their housemaid pita and hummus, it was the perfect meal. Ali's sauce is legendary. It's made in house and is better than anything you'll find in a bottle. I will absolutely continue to come back and try as much as I can from their vast menu! read more

I am beyond happy and May God bless you Ali. There was also a lot of praise for the food that everyone enjoyed. The people who ate this food said that it was the best Mexican food they had ever eaten. There is no doubt that this is a great place to visit. At the end, I also received handmade baklava, Thank you so much. read more

Saw their delicious-looking shrimp quesa tacos on yelp and had to try them! They were just as amazing as they looked: salty melted cheese with sweet shrimp and green salsa. YUM! Unfortunately for me they also had a ton of onions which i dont like but that was completely my fault for not asking. I like a crispy taco shell and this didn't disappoint. My husband got the bbq chicken fries and i could barely see the fries for all the meat on top! And that was the SMALL! He loves them. The guy taking our order was extremely friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything in our order even though it was incredibly busy. Thank you!!!
