My family has been coming to Fattoush for years, and it has truly become one of our favorite places to gather and enjoy a great meal together. Over time, we’ve celebrated birthdays, casual dinners, and quick lunches here, and it never disappoints. I absolutely love the renovations they recently completed. The space feels refreshed, modern, and even more welcoming and cozy than before. The addition of the café area was such a wonderful idea. It creates the perfect cozy atmosphere to relax, enjoy dessert, and spend extra time with friends and family. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served quickly, which makes every visit easy and enjoyable. The service is consistently attentive and friendly, making you feel appreciated as a customer. I highly recommend their chicken soup, which is comforting and delicious, as well as the shawarma, which is perfectly seasoned and satisfying. The rice pudding is creamy and delightful, and the pistachio baklava is an absolute must try. All of the desserts in the café area are beautifully displayed and so cute I can’t wait until I’ve tried every single one of them!

If you're seeking for the best Middle Eastern restaurant around Arlington or Pantego, TX, Fattoush Restaurant is a must-try! I came by on a family trip after hearing about it from my sister-in-law, and it lived up to the hype. The Mixed Grill (Lamb Tikka, Kebab, and Chicken Shish Tawook with Hummus) was tender, delicious, and well cooked. Even after closing, the staff went above and above to bring me a freshly prepared Kanafah with syrup poured at the table, which was hands down the best I've had in the U.S. The atmosphere was quiet and welcoming, and the service is polite, patient, and attentive. Nomad Tip: Don't miss the Iraqi kebabs, they're freshly made and amazing!

I’m sitting here and waiting for my desert - with full tummy and happy smile! The food was amazing! I had to wait a bit, but it was definitely worth it! It was fresh and full of flavor. This place was crazy busy Saturday afternoon, so I didn’t mind the wait. The food portion was large (I don’t even know why I got fried cauliflower appetizer). I really love this place! The vibe, the food, customer service - everything top notch!!!

I’ve been to this place multiple times, and it never disappoints. Hands down some of the best Mediterranean kababs around. The shish tawook is juicy and perfectly seasoned, the beef skewers are flavorful and tender, and the hummus is absolutely mind-blowing, smooth, fresh, and addictive. Consistency is key, and they nail it every single visit. Great food, great quality, and always worth coming back for. Highly recommended!

I've been dinning at Fattoush for over 2 year's now. The first time I saw it mentioned was in The Dallas Observer it received high praises. Then again I saw them on the list of top 50 restaurants in DFW. I finally decided to try them. I went in with high expectations and the food did not disappoint. It has become my favorite Mediterranean Restaurant. The hummus with pitas is hard to beat the Fattoush salad is amazing and Im not a salad type of guy. Last night we ordered the family meal for 4 included chicken, beef, lamb, rice, salad and hummus. The portions are huge the meal could feed 6. The service has always been great staff is friendly and attentive. The only time Ive had an issue is when they are busy during those times service can be slow but, the quality of food is not compromised. Fattoush Staff keep up the great food and service.

I opened up to try a new Mediterranean place other than Prince Lebanese, and oh my goodness I was blown away by the flavors here. The appetizers set the bar so high it tasted so fresh so delicious and I am very happy I came here. The surface was great the blonde lady who was our waiter. I didn’t get her name, but she was really sweet. I definitely recommend because the hummus and the baba ghanoush. I’m still thinking about it.
