This place used to be alright a couple of years ago but I absolutely hate when restaurants increase their prices when the food doesn't get better or the portions bigger. I have been frequenting this place every once in a while for a few years and the last time I went was a very poor experience. We ordered a few appetizer plates like hummus and baba ghannouj and the portions were just dismal, almost ridiculous for the price--and they have the nerve to charge 1.5-2x what other places charge. It's a shame when restaurants put profits above quality and service. The place survives on the Middle Eastern population in the area that gives them repeat business because it's a place to smoke hookah and the ambiance is nice. The quality itself is not bad but definitely not a place worth visiting. read more

ry very very very disappointed in this place, I called at 5:30 Pm to see if we can go in and eat after the buffet. They said yes you can come in and eat ! But we get there at 9:30pm and the manger said what are you guys doing we are close with a big attitude and I felt very disappointed! I drove about 50 miles for nothing ! read more

Good place to eat. The food was really fresh but they are very understaffed. It takes ages to grab your order and serve your food.

This is first time in my life that gratuity was charged for two adults and one kid and that was 18% to the total order for the most pathetic service ever.i was served by Tina G ....the most lousiest server with the least knowledge to provide to the customer about the order.that madam didn't bother to inform us that hummus we asked for is actually highly priced and not complementary and in the check it was mentioned six dollars for a small plate.i After this disgusting experience I am not going back there...I will rather pay at Albawadi or any other Mediterranean restaurant in my area.... read more

I have been here at least 15 or more times over the last 3+ years. Maybe a dozen lunches and 3-4 dinners. This will not be one of those reviews that starts out like mine and then goes on to slam the place. That is, I've been here often (presumably because you like it), yet have never written a review. But one bad experience and I will type 300 mean words. Unfair. So, service used to be kind of slow and even rude, but is really very good these days. Nice to experience the huge improvement over time. As for food, you can't go wrong with any lamb dish. They cook it to a 'well' doneness, but it is not dry. Plus, they will cook it to the temp you want. I liked their mid-rare. Chicken sometimes suffers from overcooking. Maybe they should try thighs or cut larger pieces. Rice accompanies most, if not all dishes. And what a treat it is to eat perfectly cooked rice. All the dips are great, especially the really white one. Mutha-something. Apparently a potato dip, although I have never seen potato flesh the color of snow. Well, it might be very unnatural looking, but super tasty! I always order it and force my friends to try it. That bright white color gives everyone pause. Dare I sample Crisco? But once they taste it, they lap it all up. As long as Fattoush remains open, I will keep coming back. read more

Food was extremely good unfortunately I could not remember anything that we ordered service is fast and the servers are very friendly and helpful with the menu brought a friend who has never had Mediterranean food before and they really enjoyed it will be back read more

I'm not huge on middle eastern food but decided to give this place a shot. Wasn't the best I have ever had but it wasn't dissapointing either. The food was ready on time for pickup and it was decent. They forgot the sauce for the fillafel side that I ordered and those were a little dry but the steak shwarma sandwich was great! read more

Wow! Loved it! I haven't had an authentic Lebanese style shawarma in Chicago land. This is the place for it. Awesome service. Great ambiance. Highly recommended read more

Great place to eat middle eastern food and have a great hookah after. I would definitely recommend the grilled platter

This is my second or third time here. Love this place. The food tastes great and the service is absolutely excellent. The buffet has so many options to choose from and tastes very fresh. The man that works there is so nice, forgot my card and he made sure it got back to me read more

A forever favorite. You MUST try their lunch buffet. $17.99 per person for one of the best buffet spreads you will ever encounter. It feels more like a personal catered event than a buffet. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Some of the best hummus I have ever had, and I have tried A LOT of hummus. Also among my favorites of the buffet was the lamb shank. My oh my how delicately tender and delicious it was. It just falls right off the bone and into your mouth! Did I mention their fresh juices & smoothies? Amazing. I had the Relax Smoothie: lemon & mint. It's like a burst of freshness for your tastebuds. To finish the meal I was too full to attempt dessert but I could not pass up their tasty traditional arabic coffee. It was so good I even had to have three cups! read more

Maybe I'm just a hard person to please when it comes to food? I just thought the food was flavorless for the price. I ordered the chicken kabob and it seriously tasted like rubber. If you want real middle eastern food check out Bawadi. It's maybe 10 minutes away from Fattoush. The only thing that's decent here is their hookah. read more

great food. their appetizers are top notch! great service most of the time. I tried their seafood plate. wow! highly recommended read more

Really good food, came here on a recommendation. I got the mixed grill plate. Definitely satisfying. I'm no expert with Mediterranean food but this passes my taste test! read more

This place is great! They have the most flavorful meat and the service is great. I will always continue to come here with my family. It was Christmas Eve and I thought that the waiter would probably be an asshole but he was very pleasant and nonstop hooking it up read more

Ate There Yesterday And Had A Great Experience, Great Host, Great Waiter, And Great Food. I Recommend The Mixed Grill And Hummus. You Will Not Be Disappointed. Other Than The 1 Star Parking They Get 5 Stars! read more

Buffet was perfect this Ramadan. Phenomenal food, a great variety, truly a good reflection of Palestinian Cuisine. It includes tea, Qatayef and a massive amount of meats, sides, hummus and pretty much everything you can think of. Try reserving a table if you're a lot of people before you come. That being said, it is pretty crowded so you have to have common sense and come early and be in line for the Buffet early, the Waiters and Waitresses were very helpful and working across the clock for Ramadan. It's not a buffet place obviously so you have to understand they don't operate like one, and this is special only for Iftar. Be mindful and respectful of other people. read more

I was here not too long ago, and I must say BEST SERVICE EVER! I have been to many restaurant that are 5 stars and top rated downtown, with phenomenal service, but when I tell you my waitress made me feel like I was right at home, she went above and beyond my expectations and what she had to do. When I first walked in I waited about two minutes at the door, but as soon as our waitress came from the outdoor seating and seen us, she came right up with an amazing smile welcoming us in asking to sit in or out, and brought us something to drink right away without us even telling her too! She introduced herself and asked us if this was our first visit which it was and she recommended a few things off the menu and answered ALL of our questions in detail to help us better understand what we are choosing from. She then took the menus and not even 2 min later she was back with our drinks some bread and soup. At first we explained that we had not ordered soup, but she had explained how you receive soup with your meal, which was odd to is only because not everyone around was having soup brought to them, after about ten minutes she brings us all these little mini starters for us to try and that I thought was amazing! The bread was soft warm and fresh. The soup was hot and seemed like it had just got done cooking. Before I could even ask she would already have a new refill for me or our bread basket refilled and always made sure we had everything. Our food finally arrived which was on time and hot, but being honest here I give the food. 4 to a 4 1/2 star because it was good but not the best kabob I have ever had. They could have been more generous with the portions and not so stingy which is what it seemed like, to be honest. Soon after we were done with our meal she came up right away packed our food and cleared off our table, when she came back with our Togo containers she had brought us tea with mint and some sweet dessert on the house! She than convinced us to try this orange sweet and some cocktails which I'm glad we tried because of how amazing and fresh the drinks and dessert was!! She had us go out with our drinks and dessert and had us try the hookah which by the way I recommend what she recommended which was totally worth the price, was the pineapple hookah, unbelievably huge! And totally worth the price. We had trouble a few times getting charcoal from the guy but it was a very busy night I might add so we were very patient. When she brought us out bill it was in this cute box with candy and on the receipt was a little note written on it which we loved! It showed us that this restaurant or at least our waitress really cares and is not just trying to get rid of us for the next table. From how phenomenal her service was I thought this was a family owned business so I asked and she told me the owners are family but she was not related in anyway and didn't even live in the area! Not only was the service more than top notch she was well mannered and very polite and was funny with a good sense of humor. It was very busy that night and we were not even going to come in because we thought that it was going to take too long or the service was going to be lacking in that department, but I am more than happy we have gotten the chance to eat and be served with the best service ever. The main reason I will be back at fattoush is for the service. I recommend asking for the waitress we had, her name is Nessie, and she says she should be working everyday, so you can't miss her! We wanted to comment rave on her wonderful service because she deserves more than a 5 star under the service category. The decor I really liked, all warm and cool colors made me feel at more of a classy place. The lighting wasn't too bad but could have been better. Very clean for the most part from what we seen around us there were a few things disturbing like uncleaned tabletops sitting for longer than a min or two especially on a busy night. One of the waitresses had her long hair practically in the food. One toilet was very disturbing in the ladies and from what my husband told me the men's as well. But all in all I give the restaurant a 3 star rating for decor, food, options but the main reason I give this review a 5 is honestly for the best service that I had experienced not just at a Mediterranean restaurant, best service period. Just ask for Nessie and in promise you won't be disappointed! I most definitely will be back as long as Nessie will be our waitress! Also I do recommend this restaurant as the food did taste fresh and was hot. Can't wait for our next outing at Fattoush! read more

Easily one of my favorite restaurants. Great, healthy food a little pricey but you get what you paid for...

I wanted to go to the Nile Restaurant on Harlem, but they were closed. Yelp had a deal, so I went to Fattoush. It is a very large restaurant. I had the appetizer platter and lamb chops for the dinner. My waitress, Tina, was outstanding in her service. The hummus, baba ghanoush, and lebna were very good. The falafel was ok and the tabulli had to much lemon juice...yeah, yeah, I know I'm tearing up the spelling of the dishes, but I'm not looking them up :-) I had one of their "cocktails" it was a fruit smoothie, that was ok. The lentil soup was yellow and very liquidy and not flavorful. the lamb chops were not the best I've had, but were ok. The rice was very well seasoned and delicious. I live in the South Suburbs, but would travel to the Nile in Hyde Park for middle eastern. read more

The food is delicious and pita bread is freshly baked. The shawarma plate is delicious the meats are tender and juicy. We keep coming back. The service is never short of excellent. read more

Middle Eastern grilled fare cooked to perfection. Awesome fresh fruit juices and smoothies. Attention to the small details is what make a restaurant or breaks it. Those guys know how to treat their customers. read more

Food is always amazing, service is wonderful! They serve the most tender, juicy and flavorful meats, refreshing salads and thirst quenching juices. If your looking for a Middle Eastern meal that is out of this world, Fattoush is your place! You have to check it out! read more

Nice Arabic food-halal. Tasty. Good service. Decent hookah too. We go a lot and like it here.

I was so unhappy when I ordered this time when I ordered falafel plate , soup and salad and when the water walk with my food all rape in paper bag like I ordered from a grocery store not a restaurant also after I look at the soup and was in 4 oz cup and the hostess tilling me that way too little yes was bad experience read more

I would do 4 1/2 stars, but I couldn't! :( anyways we went here after getting a Groupon for this place and the food was GREAT! Service was top notch, can't remember the waitresses name but she was super friendly. read more

The food is amazing. The extras they give you keep me coming back. Highly recommended.

Lovely lunch - our waiter did a great job of suggesting a platter for four so we all got a lot of food (yeah take home goodies) for a very reasonable price. I run across places like this so close to home and wonder why I haven't been before. Will go back! read more

Bessssssssyttttttttttt restauraunt ever! Try the mixed fish platter, lamb chops or chicken tiika!!!!!!!!!!!! Or go to hell.

Very good food so good .great service I loved everything in the plate. Real test of mediterranean food

Best Mediterranean restaurant in Chicago land. Extremely friendly staff. Every time I come here I feel welcomed. The food is awesomely delicious read more

Yummy food but 2 things. 1. they need to update/activate their website with a useable menu. A PDF that is 100px by 100px does nothing for the customer. 2. what's with the spicy hummus? I like it but I've never had jalapeno hummus. read more

Visited this restaurant for the first time last Thursday. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. We have been to a number of the other restaurants in the Worth/Bridgeview area. This place was just as good a any of the other similar establishments. The food was fresh, the service pretty friendly, and the atmosphere nice (nice decor plus music that was loud enough to create ambiance and not overpower conversation). We had the veggie platter to start which was quite good. I had the mixed platter for my entree. The meats were seasoned and cooked perfectly. My wife had schwerma, which she said was delicious. We each had tea with sage to go with the meal and the server brought a free dessert for each of us (simple dish that was a nice end to the meal). We will be back! read more

The highlight had to have been the man dressed in red with a giant hookah on his back filled with complimentary tamarind juice. Personally, I tried the chicken shawarma sandwich with fries which was enough to fill me up as a post iftar meal. Followed by which we had some delightful "Fattoush Mix" sheesha with a fresh orange bowl. Service was amazing on both sides of the restaurant, definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a full Arab restaurant experience! Bathroom rating: 5/5 read more
