Fattoush is one of those rare restaurants where you can truly taste the care, love, and integrity in every dish. Every ingredient feels intentional and high quality. The fig hummus is something special. Smooth, perfectly balanced with tahini, and unlike anything I've had before. My brother called it the best hummus he's ever had, and honestly I licked the plate clean! The falafel plate deserves its own moment. Warm, crispy on the outside, perfectly moist on the inside, and just the right amount of richness. Paired with the sauce, fresh salad, and rice, it was easily one of the most memorable meals I've had this year. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully put together. Truly some of the best falafel I've ever had. What really took the experience to another level was the service. After we paid, our waitress noticed I had blisters from breaking in new shoes and brought me two bandaids without me even asking. That kind of attention to detail is rare, if I could give 6 stars I would! They are also incredibly accommodating with dietary needs. When the waitress heard my brother was gluten free, she immediately brought out a new plate with double salad instead of rice. Fattoush goes above and beyond in every way. An unforgettable meal and experience. I cannot recommend it enough. I will absolutely be back to try more. Also a beautiful & quiet place to sit with friends or family. We made some very special memories here and laughed into the night. read more

Had lunch at Fattoush this past week and really enjoyed it. Ambiance is great. The restaurant wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon. Service is friendly and food came out quickly. We ordered many things and food was mostly excellent. Warak Enab, fattoush salad, moussaka, mujdara, and cheese rolls were very good. Shish Tawouk was very dry unfortunately, and the fatayer were soggy so it possibly reheated in a microwave? Prices are a bit on the high side, and we'll likely stick to the mezze/appetizers going forward. We'll definitely return! read more

Note- Same listing as https://www.yelp.com/biz/fattoush-by-salma-new-york (asked for a merge) Recommended- Muhammara, moutabal, warak eneb, msakaa Good- Fattoush, kebbeh, falafel Decent- hummus, tabbouleh, shawarma Bad- The rest of the grilled meats I was at this Lebanese restaurant with a large group a while back, having previously been to their alright original location, Salma, which is around the corner. The space inside this one is a bit nicer, with there also being more room, but the lighting is much darker, so the photos came out pretty poorly. The seating arrangement was a bit cramped, but we made do. As with their other location, the mezze are much better than the grilled platters, with the meats being overcooked and dry, so I would stick with their hot or cold appetizers. On an unrelated note, I do find it a bit odd/humorous that the menu goes back and forth between the Arabic and French spelling for their namesake salad, being either fattoush or fattouch. We started with the Mixed Appetizer Plate, a selection of hummus, kebbeh, fattouch, warak enab, falafel, and msakaa for $38.50. The warak eneb, or grape leaves, were particularly tasty, with the msakaa, or moussaka, being good as well. The namesake fattoush was good from all the pita, though maybe a bit too overdressed for my liking, as it was a tad sour. The kebbeh/kibbeh were decent, and the hummus was OK. It was a perfectly good mixed plate and plenty large for the price, with this especially being the case in the East Village. Along with the mixed appetizer plate, we got a few other mezze, which were either of better quality or similar to the warak/msakaa. Best was their take on Muhammara for $16, a dip made from roasted red peppers, walnuts, garlic, pomegranate molasses, and lemon. It was nice and thick and well-spiced with a good amount of red pepper and just enough sweet and sour flavor from the molasses. I would recommend it heavily. Also very tasty and cheaper was the $10.50 Moutabal, or fresh eggplant grilled over charcoal, lightly mashed with tahini and freshly squeezed lemon juice, and topped with EVOO. This was delicious, with it being thick and smoky. Alright, the Tabbouleh, a mix of parsley, tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, and olive oil, was for $14.50. It was fine, though a bit lightly flavored even compared to other spots. If you are going to get a salad, stick with their namesake fattoush. We otherwise got the Family Mixed Grill, consisting of two shish tawouk, two lamb kabobs, two kofta, two lamb chops, shawarma, fattoush, and rice for $139.50. As mentioned, and similar to the one around the corner, the meat was overcooked and dry and lacking spice. The lamb kabobs were chewy, the shish tawouk was dry, and the kofta was both burnt on the outside and dry in the middle. The lamb chops were overcooked as well, but probably had the best flavor. The only saving grace was the shawarma, which was slightly dry but at least had some decent enough flavor, making it by far the best by being just average. This was terrible overall and not remotely worth it. It's hard to rate this spot. I certainly preferred it over my previous meal around the corner, but the meats are still pretty terrible. The fact that they charge $140 for that is a joke, even with the portion size. Stick with their mezze/appetizers to have a good time, and if you have to get meat, the shawarma is decent. I prefer the nearby Zesty, but this is still decent. Upper 2/Low 3. read more

Solid Lebanese food, started off with the Hummus and Pita which were nice. I like that they grilled the pita and had a bit of char on one side because I just love food with a good bit of char. Hummus itself was really smooth and tasty. Got the Shish Tawouk for the main and the chicken was very very tender. With the toum especially it was delish, plus the grilled veggies and the bed of bread. It was supposed to come with rice though and I asked about the rice twice and it still never came so I just gave up on it but whatever it was still good. read more

4.5/5 Mixed Appetizer for 4 -- this was such a great variety! Our favorites were the hummus, batata harra (spiced potatoes), and sambousek (crispy lamb pastries). Knocked off 0.5 star due to pita being hard and dry compared to other EV Lebanese spots. 4/5 Mixed Grill Supreme -- enjoyed trying many of their grilled meats, wished it was a bit more seasoned and tender. 4/5 Ouzi Lamb -- lamb shank was so tender, cinnamon flavor of the rice was too overpowering for my personal taste. Loved the intimate setting here, it was a full house when we visited on a Friday evening. Wanted to shout out the staff as well, when they realized our lamb chops were missing from our mixed grill, very nicely offered us free drinks. Service overall is very attentive and friendly. read more

I made a rsvp for my birthday dinner for 10 people and I wasnt disappointed, as everything was on point from A to Z. Service: we were given enough time until everyone came and sat, so there was no pressure and were given 2 options between a set menu or order what you like which we liked. As we were making orders, the waitress gave us alternatives to make plates more family style friendly. She was very patient. Ambiance: The right food and vibe to have right before a snowstorm. The place was very busy, so I would highly recommend making an RSVP on weekend night. Food: what a delicious feast, we had appetizer (Hummus, babaganoush, Batata Harra, cheese rolls, Falafel and more) each one them was truly amazing and we couldn't get enough, the blend of flavors and freshness is top tier. My main dish was a hit, truly, and like everyone were surprised by how big the portions are, something we loved so we made sure to enjoy our food as much as we can. My Lamb was very juicy, soft, it literally slips off the bone. The rice was like wow, I cant describe how flavorful it was. I will definitely come back and try more dishes read more

Definitely a yes!! Food and service and here will not disappoint. Middle Eastern cuisine at it's best and definitely a place I suggest going with a few friends . Get different items and share ,it accentuates the cultural experience of this meal, dining as a family. Dishes are generously seasoned with spices and ingredients are fresh. Meat platters and grilled veggies, so good. Vegetarians and carnivores all happy eaters here. The namesake fattoush salad is not to be skipped but you won't be disappointed by anything here. Service is warm and welcoming . The restaurant has a beautiful and clean aesthetic. Also add their big sister restaurant Salma on your list . read more

Fattoush offering a warm reprieve from the billowing winter wind gusts. Handcrafted light fixtures expose beautifully intricate and authentic wall art and pillowed seating (although with little space as you should be accustomed to in New York). The menu provided a taste of Lebanese and Mediterranean fusion, although often with spices overpowering the quality of meats. read more

Came here with a few friends a few weeks ago (after a workout class so we were appropriately starving) and tried a smattering of things that were all wonderfully delicious. We had the beetroot hummus, tabbouleh, kebbeh, sambousek, and cheese rolls. And decided to split falafel and the shish tawouk platter which was so perfectly seasoned and cooked. There were still so many things we didn't get to try but I will definitely be returning. Also, side shoutout for the mint lemonade - refreshing! The place is cute and cozy, ideal for a date or a small group feast! read more

Ordered two of the kofta kebab wraps and they were super disappointing. They were cold, the bread was rubbery, and not sure there was any actual meat in them. read more

Highly recommend this place! Portions are massive and staff are kind and attentive. I loved the small fattoush salad and the chicken shawarma platter. It should be noted that the platter comes with a choice of rice, fries or salad. My friend and I accidentally revived both fries and rice. The waitress was super kind and let us keep both. The fries were so delicious! It's a bit loud in the restaurant but that comes with a small space. We dined around 7:30pm on a Tuesday. Looking forward to returning here! read more

SERVICE - located on first avenue between 13th and 14th streets in East Village - sister restaurant to nearby Salma - ambiance nice for a semi casual lunch or dinner - seating for small groups or large gatherings - we were the only ones in the restaurant, possibly because it is still very new and unheard of - our server was very sweet with providing us recommendations and checking in on us occasionally - complimentary mint or black tea MENU - Lebanese menu with cold appetizers, hot appetizers, and plates/sandwiches - vegan and vegetarian options available though not marked - well priced ($15 per entree) FOOD - hummus fig (7/10): creamy hummus topped with chopped dried figs. There were a variety of hummus options on the menu but this one stood out as a flavor that I had not seen before. I was a little skeptical about the sweet and savory combination but decided to try it anyway. Because we got the muhammara as our other dip I think this worked because fig and walnut is a classic combination. On its own, I am not sure if I could have finished an entire bowl. - muhammara (10/10): roasted red pepper and walnut spread blended with pomegranate molasses. Served with complimentary bread. This was the star of our table. The dip was the right consistency, not being too smooth or chunky. The pomegranate added a hint of acidity to cut through the sweet peppers and earthy walnuts. These cold appetizers are meant to be ordered as a shareable dish so definitely add this one to your spread. - falafel plate (7/10): 5 pieces of falafel with a side of seasoned rice and fattoush salad. The falafel were very crispy, to the point where the outside felt like eating a tortilla chip. It tasted great when dipped into the hummus or tahini sauce. I was not a huge fan of the rice as I thought it was a bit bland. The salad was a nice fresh element. I enjoyed the mint leaves and the herby, peppery dressing. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The menu was expansive and the ambiance was nice. read more

Very kind staff that accommodated our big party and allowed us to swap out a dish that was too salty. The eggplant dish and halloumi were delicious, but portion for halloumi is a bit small for the price. Fig jam was delicious. Loved the music. Overall recommend! read more
