But particularly the lamb haneeth was incredible! It came with four pieces of lamb, all of which were super tender! Even the rice had a nice lamb flavor. Speaking of rice, they do not skimp on it! Each dish is easily shareable with someone else. Our meal even came with a salad and the tomato sauce (this sauce is a must!). I will definitely be returning!

This place probably deserves a 1 star rating based on the food but the restaurant is decent (big,…read moregood seating, clean bathrooms) and the person serving us seemed to understand that the food was underwhelming. Going back to the food, it was poor from beginning to end. The grape leaves tasted worse or at least as bad as some canned grape leaves. It was not fresh, you could tell from the rice inside and the way the grape leaves broke when you bit into them. The fattoush salad didn't seem to have enough parsley and mint and it was most a lettuce salad. The adeni tea was plain weird. It didn't taste like tea at all. The kabsa felt like rice had been mixed with curry. I guess that's why the guy was asking how spicy we wanted it. Typically that is not a question when ordering kabsa. The lamb chops were not good either. The meat was tough, as was the meat for some of the other dishes. It's unfortunate because we were excited to try this place ever since we saw that it was opening. There was maybe 1 other customer when we were there and I guess it makes sense now. Hope they improve or else they are going to struggle.

You can call in advance for take-out orders, or just place an order in person, walk over to H-Mart for shopping, and return in 15-20 minutes. We have not dined in the restaurant, but it has a separate section with tables that can easily accommodate families and small groups. It has a pleasant, family-owned restaurant vibe.

Stumbled upon this quiet mom & pop shop. They are very welcoming and seated us promptly for dinner…read more My favorite dish would be their chicken kabob platter. It comes with a bowl of salad. The chicken itself is a little on the drier side but I still like it. They give you a fairly large portion of chicken for the price. I definitely met my protein intake goals for dinner. The rice portion was also large and had a nice, simple flavor. I had to get a to-go box because there was so much to eat.

My first visit to Fettoosh felt intimate in the best way. The owner personally served the dining…read moreroom while also tending the kitchen, which lent the experience a quiet, home-cooked sincerity. Their signature mint tea was genuinely splendid--aromatic, balanced, and restorative--whether by recipe or by the hand that poured it. I ordered the Tfaya (djaaj), drawn by curiosity about raisin-topped couscous, and was rewarded with a warm, herbal, deeply satisfying dish. The flavors felt honest and transportive, offering the closest approximation of a Maghrebi home kitchen I've encountered locally. While the setting is modest and the operation clearly small, the food carries cultural confidence and care. Fettoosh succeeds not by spectacle, but by intimacy--and that, here, is its strength

I came here with my sister's for Iftar during Ramadan. The restaurant is decorated beautifully…read more The place is huge and good for groups. They have only buffet during Ramadan. I got there after 6pm. It was packed. It was my first there and had no idea what I was getting into. The menus doesnt explain much nor were prices mentioned. Its like $39.99 They also tacked on a service fee. Which is deceiving since its not mentioned upfront in the menu. You find out when you get your bill. The service was 5 stars. The young man very attentive and friendly. Ushered our dirty tables and brought us our drinks. I had minty lemonade which I recommend if your gonna eat a lot. Here's my gripe. Its very important to label food. None of the food trays or stations were labeled. I have several food allergies and I had no idea what was what. I had to ask what was this or that. One tray had rice and I saw something that had deep fried crispy something. I thought it was chicken... it was fish :( The hummus was good though. The baklava meh. The pita bread was good. Some rice tray had kabob type of meat but it was lukewarm. For the price I paid, its not worth it. Please label your trays. Im give this place another try with my husband after Ramadan. , I saw on the dessert menu they have Knafeh.. a delicious middle eastern dessert that I love. Can't wait to try that.

The size of their shank and pita bread is notably positive. 4/5 for food. The atmosphere is very bland. It's a restaurant in a mall so it is limited at decorum. It's is clean and feels like a bland diner. 3/5 for atmosphere and overall decorum. Service is good. Staff is quick to say hi, ask what we needed and take our order.

Delightfully fresh and filling. Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced red onions, chickpeas, dill, mint, a bit of lemon and some olive oil... and I got mine topped with a generous portion of gyro meat. Absolutely amazing. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful, and the lemon and herbs in the dressing gave the salad an extra brightness and freshness that made the whole thing so delightful. I didn't think it was possible to enjoy a simple salad so much. I'm sitting outside of the restaurant right now seriously deciding if I want to go back in and order one more to take home.

The food all tasted generally authentic with an American kick. They make a great espresso martini as well. Had a couple of those. No issues about the atmosphere; it was lively and generally upbeat. The valet parking is complementary/priced at your discretion and they take cards, so that was super convenient, I tossed the guy a $20.
