Amazing Moroccan and Lebanese restaurant that recently has been renovated for table service. Food is delicious and freshly made. Service is welcoming. We tried a Fettoosh salad, meatball tangine, and chicken basilla. All very good. My favorite was dipping the homemade bread in the tangine sauce. read more

I happened upon fettoosh just surfing through restaurants on door dash. I ordered the lamb tagine. That meal was a game changer for me. It's so flavorful and the lamb literally fell off the bone. It was different for me as I don't eat much lamb and prunes in the dish was also something new but it went together perfectly. Easily one of my new favorite things to eat. I've already been eyeing the menu for what im gonna try next. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Arlington. Don't be full by this simple decor this place is awesome. Since the pizza restaurant opened up next-door the parking can be a hit or mess. Lately it's been hard to find parking. Nevertheless I will stake a space because their food is so worth it. The lamb with prunes is my favorite dish. It often sells out so I always call ahead to make sure they have it. I've never been disappointed with any of the food. The staff is very friendly. I've never been rushed. What I've came late at night by myself the staff have even been friendly enough to accompany me to my car. How nice is that? However if you are looking for a Middle Eastern restaurant with a lot of desserts this is not the place. While they're lacking sweets they definitely make up for it with the main dishes though so you can't complain. read more

I wanted to try something different today and stumbled upon this place... Ive always wanted to try their tea, so why not, right? We ordered chicken bastilla, combo kebob, fetoosh salad and of course a pot of tea! mmmm. Super healthy food and super tasty. Their hummus was amazing too!!! Omg I devoured their fetoosh salad in 1-2 mins... I am a very picky eater!! Their foods were so fresh and had " pure" taste to them( meaning they didnt put so much crap to " create" flavors). Super good! Tea was good. We will definitely come back :) Owners were super nice too. read more

Fettoosh - Yum! - Moroccan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Having never ordered from Fettoosh, my boyfriend and I were excited after reading the reviews. To confirm that they were still offering delivery during the established times on their website, I gave the restaurant a ring and a very nice gentleman answered. He let me know that postmates was a good option to look into and if not, we could always come pick up. He was friendly, professional and that little interaction made me even more excited to see what this restaurant was all about. We were shocked at the generous portions as we opened the lids and the smells just overtook our kitchen. We couldn't wait to dig in! And oh my goodness.... everything was a hit! From the creamy and super smokey eggplant dip, to the sausage tagine that had an incredible depth of flavor, to the perfectly braised lamb over a massive portion of veggies and fluffy could cous, we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. And why we hadn't discovered this place sooner?! We're already talking about when we can order next... we highly recommend Fettoosh to everyone! read more

As my first Moroccan food experience this place was on point. I went on a DC snow day so we were the only people in the restaurant. I had previously read about chicken bastilla (flakey chicken pastry) in some random food blog a while back and had been wanting to try it. And my friend said the mint tea was to die for, so as a tea fiend, I just had to go. It is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall in terms of ambiance, but in a good way. We ordered the smaller chicken bastilla portion, mint tea, and a spinach pastry that came with tabbouli and hummus. The mint tea was delicious- sweet and flavorful, I had never had tea like that. The chicken bastilla didn't disappoint either- it had a powdered sugar topping, flakey crust, and the meat was enveloped in a kind of sauce that was reminiscent of spiced curry. It sounds weird but it was quite good. The spinach cheese pastry, salad and hummus were also very solid but nothing new in terms of flavor. Overall it was a good eating experience, and I'd say the mint tea is worth going to this place alone. read more

Fettoosh - Chicken bastilla, spanish pastry with salad and hummus, and mint tea - Moroccan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Yummy dinner. Wanted to try something new and was directed here. For two people, we shared: Lamb and prune ($15) Small pot of mint tea ($3.5) Vegetarian combo ($10) Must get all three, everything was perfect. The owner was really friendly, and we felt like we felt like we were eating a authentic Lebanese/Moroccan dinner made with love. Clearly this is a place passionate about its food. We would return to try the chicken bastilla and lamb tartine. So glad we found this local joint. read more

Fettoosh - Perfect dinner:: veg combo platter ($10), lamb & prune ($15). Not pictured:mint tea ($3.5) and pita/bread (free). - Moroccan Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This was such a pleasant find! The people are so nice at this restaurant, and the food will not disappoint. The chicken bastilla is outstanding. The couscous is great. The harrira soup is delicious. Can't wait to try their other dishes. read more

This place is good. Im not an expert in Morrocan food but yhis has to be one of the better moroccan spots. This is a great place for foodies because its run by people that are authentically tied to Moroccan culture. I had the lamb shank, bastlla and the harira soup. read more

The plus: Very fresh and tasty couscous, plenty of food, absolutely fabulous mint tea. Very friendly waiter - was he also the owner? - and very generous. The minus: I would pass on the desserts here. Flavors are good enough but nothing "old world." I hate to think that these are the best spices Morocco has to offer. Overall: While I enjoyed my experience here, it's nothing I would plan on returning to. It just seems a bit too bland and Americanized. read more

Very simple styling inside, but good food quality. My wife and I had hummus, sfelha bi-lahmi, and the lamb tagine. All were delicious. The management (owner I'm guessing) was very friendly and attentive and offered recommendations and gave us plenty of time to order and enjoy our food. The tables around us all seemed to get their food promptly as well, and I noticed that the owner was very involved in making sure everyone got what they wanted. Their menu offers quite bit of both Lebanese and Moroccan selection, so it will probably require multiple visits to try out the full spread of what they offer. The atmosphere inside is what you'd expect from looking at the outside. A little warm (spring/summer), not a lot of decoration, a busy kitchen, and a TV playing soccer games in Arabic. Overall good experience, will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. read more

Wow! Driven by this place for years and finally stopped in for dinner. Wow! Amazingly good! Everything was beautifully spiced, fresh, and delicious. The owner was so gracious to everyone who entered the restaurant and made everyone feel so welcome. This will definitely be our #1 neighborhood spot for a long time to come. read more

I love this place! its simple and not super fancy, but the food is wonderful (and they deliver!). the bread is amazing and fresh. i loooooove the meatball tagine and pastilla, my boyfriend loves the harrira soup and chicken tagine (and he is moroccan and super picky, so it must be super authentic). the guy who owns this place is just the nicest person. It really is service with a smile! Also, don't forget the mint tea! its so delicious and such a treat. Also, in Ramadan they have a special menu and you should get there early to get a table to take advantage of it because it fills up fast :) read more

This may have replaced my previous favorite Arlington eats. Fettoosh is a simple restaurant, one where you go not for the ambiance but to have wonderful food cooked and served by friendly people. My friend and I came here on a weekend and decided to share. We ordered: -Small chicken bastilla: a bastilla is a pastry round stuffed with a layer of chopped almonds and savory meat or vegetable filling. For those who are a fan of sweet and savory, I cannot recommend this dish enough. We ordered a small, which was more than enough to share. -Lamb couscous: after we saw the man sitting nearby enjoying this dish, we had to do the same. We received a huge pile of couscous mixed with vegetables and served with a giant lamb shank. The dish also comes with a broth and spicy harissa for additional flavoring. So delicious, and we ended up having enough leftover for another meal! At ~$15 a person, we left full, satisfied, and with a box of leftovers to enjoy later! read more

I never had Moroccan food before. A colleague of mine was spending 3 months in Morocco, throughout the country and wanted to try some Moroccan cuisine. The food was spot on. A real "ma and pa" kind of place. When my colleague returned from Morocco we went back--sure as shit--my colleague said the food at Fettoosh is the real deal. The tea was minty and sweet. The lamb fell off the bone. The couscous, well, what can one say about couscous? IT ROCKED THE BOAT! read more

Ate here before and loved it, owner is super gracious and made it a great experience, finally made it back for Couscous Friday. My wife had chicken and I had the lamb- WOW !!!, I do not normally like certain vegetables such as zucchini or butternut squash, but in this dish they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend and will be back. Not cheap, but worth it. read more

Great food! Greeat service! Friendly owner! We had lentil soup, baba ghanouj, cheese treat, chicken bastilla, lamb tagine and left with a bundle of baked cookies. Everything was delisicious and the service was excellent. Quite a find! We left so full and yearning to come back. Even my 80 year old father who likes his American with a little Italian loved it! The most interesting part for us was when we were leaving people where coming in by droves. And special plates and drinks were being set. These were so people could break their fast for Ramedan. What they were having looked interesting and tasty. We want to go back!!! read more

This little place off the beaten path is a MUST. Every time my parents visit they turn down the chance to go to any trendy DC/ Arlington restaurants and insist that we go back to Fettoosh. I personally can't get enough of the lamb tagine, with meat so tender that it falls off the bone, but everything we've had has been excellent. Considering the prices in the area, this is a great value. Highly recommend! read more

The food served here is authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The service was better than expected and dinner was fabulous. read more

I am not from Morocco but I have been to many cities in Morocco. This the closest homemade food I found compare with what I had there. My favorite dish is Kafta Tagine and Harirah soup. I also like their Bastilla, Zaalouk and Couscus. read more

Stopped by here because it was one of the few places open on Christmas- so glad we did! Ordered beef shawarma and namoura-both delicious! Meat was tender and marinated well. Namoura was a very sweet, dense dessert. The mint tea was so wonderful, herbal and sweet. Customer service was amazing, the owner was SO friendly and funny. Gave us a falafel on the house because he knew we wanted to try it out. Checked on us to make sure everything was going well. Thankfully when we went it wasn't too busy, so service time was fine but I can see how it may take a while to get your food if the restaurant gets busy. read more

This is by far the best Lebanese restaurant in the Arlington/DC area, and the owner is the nicest hardest working business owner I've ever seen in a restaurant. He takes orders, cleans and busses tables, manages the cash register, etc. I'm more of a Lebanese fan so I've never tried the Moroccan food. The pita and hummus are excellent and my favorite dish is the chicken kebab. I've also had the chicken Schwarma and kefta kebab. The falafel is ok, but not the best I've had around here. The namoura is excellent. I do wish that konafa was offered or maybe increase the desert options. Overall everything is excellent and the service is great. read more

The falafel was the best I ever had, and everyone who worked there was so kind. Definitely a 100/10 place for a inexpensive meal of expensive meal quality. read more

If the food wasn't so good here I would swear my Husband only likes this place because he likes to randomly yell Fettoosh! on the way to pick up our food. This place is always bustling with couples and families having a good time. I love Morroccan food but it's hard to find locally. Fettoosh is the best in the area. Chicken bastillia is one of my favorite foods. If i were ordered to give my final meal request a good chicken bastillia would be on the list. More specifically Fettosh's chicken bastillia. They make them fresh and to order. Everytime get it Im halfway through eating before I remember to take a picture. It's gotten to the point where my husband and I can't share bastillia anymore. Thy have great lamb with prunes and their chicken dishes are delicious. Honestly I have liked everything I've been served at Fettoosh. Portion sizes are great. The food is richly flavored without being overbearing. The owner and his wife are nice and inviting even with a ton of orders coming in. Parking is tight. This pizza place in the complex hogs a lot of the spots but you can park at 7-11 or across the Street for a quick pickup. Great Morrocan food is hard to come by in the DMV and thankfully Fettoosh delivers. Fettoosh! read more

Stopped by here because I always go to Pulpatella next door so decided to try them out. Got the Chicken Kabob as well as Lamb Tagine. The chicken was slightly dry, but the Tagine was Amazing! I'm making plans to get that already. read more

This place exceeded our expectations. The owner and chef are Moroccan. They have 2 menus, Moroccan and Lebanese. Stick with the Moroccan. We ordered a bunch of dishes, a small chicken bastilla, lamb with prunes (it comes with homemade Moroccan bread) and couscous with lamb. We also had mint tea. Everything was terrific. Even better than the food we had in Morocco. Great find. Excellent service. read more

The food is quite incredible. Very delicious and homemade feeling. The couscous is absolutely tasty!

Want to love this place more but the food is always too dry. Owner is the nicest guy you will ever meet in the industry, but his cooks need to learn about moisture content. read more

I like the food, atmosphere and the hospitality in this place, this is not my first time here, I came once for dinner had Tajin and some appetizers and it was great, this time we had Moroccan tea and dessert (Mushabak), first we ordered the tea then grabbed a dessert box from the shelf, we asked for the tea to be reheated as we wanted it boiling hot, when the co-owner/host brought the tea back he told us the dessert we grabbed wasn't fresh then he brought us a fresh patch in an elegant serving plate, this dessert needs to be fresh to have the perfect crunch to it, we appreciated his eagerness to provide a genuinely nice service although we weren't daily patrons nor that we had a huge order, this kind of service along with great food will always make me come back, I highly recommend this place. read more

This is the best Moroccan food in Virginia. If you want to impress your friends/family like I did today, order a Chicken Bastilla, Lamb Tagine with prunes and Veggies Couscous! Everything else is also very good but I am recommending my favorites. The place is small, owner very attentive and they server generous portions. During this pandemic Please Let's enjoy a delightful meal and support our local businesses. Merci read more

Great little place, friendly service, good food. The lemon and olive lamb tajine was DELICIOUS! The chicken bastilla was good as well, but a touch dry. Pro tip: get the hot mint tea! read more

Lamb was so soft and fell off the bone - so delicious. The chicken pie was oddly sweet, but the spices really came out through it. Couscous was amazingly soft with lamb in between. Highly recommend all! read more

The food is absolutely delicious! I lived in Morocco for 6 months and this is the most authentic Moroccan cuisine I have came across outside of the country. I love their bastillias and their Milwis (Moroccan pancakes). Five stars for the food! Four stars total because it really depends who is currently working, friendliness and customer service can vary greatly. I am also not a big fan of their in their interior, I think they'd benefit a lot if they set it up more cozy, with Moroccan benches and more colors than what it is right now. read more

The food is so good! The smell of the restaurant is so bad! We have been here several times over a year and each time it has had a bad small, like the sanitizing chemicals from a bathroom. You begin not to notice anymore after a few minutes but those are some long minutes. The atmosphere is like a low-end pizza joint with several tables and a TV showing sports, but focus on the food... The menu is both Moroccan and Lebanese but we have always ordered the Moroccan dishes. That said, the Tagine and Bassilla are amazing. We first had Bastilla in Denver and as we have travelled around the country we keep gorging ourselves on it. A flaky phyllo pastry with meat, nuts, fruit, and sauce mixed together and baked. What you get is a lovely crisp exterior with the interior mixture basting and marinating, building on all the flavors finished with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and cinnamon. It should be noted that a large Bastilla could feed 4-6 people. I also recommend the mint tea (sweet and hot), always a pleasure. read more
