Fattoush

Great food. Fast service, pleasant hostess and caring owner. Do not miss this....very clean.

Fattoush is one of those little gems that seems to operate under the radar. Hidden away in a nondescript strip mall, this restaurant doesn't look like anything special from the outside; and the interior, awash with unadorned tables and minimalist décor, isn't much of a turn on either. However, looks can be deceiving. The strictly utilitarian surroundings belie the fresh, vibrant, made-from-scratch Mediterranean (Lebanese) cuisine that continues to surprise and delight. Add downright moderate prices and the fact that you may BYOB... and you have a recipe for a marvelously enjoyable evening at table. There are a number of excellent appetizers from which to choose, including several absolutely first-rate salads. For my money, however, there's really only one way to start things off; and that's with the incomparable Lebanese Mezza (pictured), a shared platter comprised of many of the traditional usual suspects: Hummus and Baba Ghanouj (popular apps made with ground chickpeas & smoked eggplant, respectively); Falafel (deep-fried spiced balls of ground chickpeas & fava beans) topped with tahini sauce; Kibbe (Lebanese meatballs stuffed with spiced beef, onions, and nuts); Stuffed Grape Leaves; and, of course, plenteous portions of Pita Bread for dipping, etc. The grape leaves may strike many as old hat. May be... but they are still quite delicious and incredibly superior to representatives I have sampled elsewhere. Both the Hummus and Baba Ghanouj exhibit an incredible depth of flavor (my dining partner prefers the former; I, the latter), and the Falafel and Kibbe are irresistibly seasoned.Among the house special entrées, of particular note are the Shawarma. This refers to a method of meat preparation where cuts of spiced & marinated lamb, chicken, turkey, beef, veal, or mixed meats are stacked in a cone-like shape on a vertical rotisserie. As it rotates and the outside cooks continuously, thin slices are shaved off. Shawarma is one of the world's most popular street foods, especially in countries of the eastern Mediterranean, western Asia, and northeast Africa.Shawarma, either beef or chicken, is served as a wrap or on a platter with various accompaniments, which include rice and Tabbouleh salad. For example, I recently enjoyed the Chicken Shawarma (pictured), which was garnished with lettuce, pickles, a first-rate garlic sauce, and wrapped in very thin Lebanese pita bread. Excellent... The big surprise, however, was the side dish. Much against my better judgment, I ordered the fries; and they were, if you'll pardon my French, without doubt, the best fries it has ever been my pleasure to ingest. Encrusted with a delicate complexion of seasonings, they were incredibly crisp and their flavor simply off the charts. Kudos to the kitchen. Not to be missed.The platters, noted above, also deserve mention. The Beef Shawarma Platter is served over rice with Fattoush salad and tahini sauce; the Chicken Shawarma Platter is served with rice, tabbouleh salad, and homemade garlic sauce. Both versions beguile the palate with winning combinations of tastes and textures. But even more interesting, in my opinion, is the Samke Harra (pictured). Pan-fried flounder is served on a pillow of rice and perfectly seasoned slices of sautéed zucchini, topped with diced tri-colored peppers, nuts & onion, and finished with a sensual tahini sauce. Portion sizes here are quite generous. So generous, in fact, that our server noted that those diners who, like us, order the Lebanese Mezza to start, often elect to share one entrée rather than order two... Certainly something to keep in mind.But be sure to leave room for the homemade desserts, as the Baklava and fabulously decadent Bread Pudding (pictured) are both outstanding. Highly recommended on all counts... Just don't forget to BYOB.

I would drive 100 miles to eat at Fattoush! My father ordered the beef shawarma wrap and I got the chicken shawarma platter. Servings were large. We did not, or could not, stop eating until our plates were clean! The staff was attentive and kind. I'd go to Fattoush over "fine dining" any day!

Fabulous food and warm and friendly service. We were looking for a light summer meal and found a winner! The restaurant was bustling with business and it's easy to see why. You won't go wrong with this authentic mediterranean cuisine. It's BYOB so don't forget your adult beverages! And even if you do, there are places very close by to pick up what you like! Enjoy!

The hummus was so creamy and not overloaded with garlic and spices. It was excellent! The falafel was awesome! The pita bread was warm and fresh. Prices are reasonable and service was fast. I highly recommend!

The hummus was my literal most favorite thing at Fattoush! Their fattoush (famous Lebanese salad) was really really yummy too! Will definitely be traveling 30 minutes just for middle eastern place from here! They checked on us so often and made our experience so homey and friendly. I really liked the family feel at this restaurant. The ambiance was just what I wanted for a nice, quiet, kinda quick, fresh dinner.

I ordered takeout from here while in town for a wedding and the food was delicious! My boyfriend and I split a lamb platter with baba ganoush appetizer which came out to $30 and was plenty of food for us. The lamb was super tender and flavorful and was served over seasoned rice. It came with hummus and fattoush - the hummus was creamy and you could tell was homemade. The baba ganoush also had great flavor and came with a pita. Would highly recommend this place for delicious Mediterranean food!

This place is absolutely amazing! I found it by the reviews on Yelp & it definitely didn't disappoint. Hands down the best lamb gyro I ever had. The lamb was seasoned & cooked perfectly. It was sliced thin & neither fatty nor greasy & the portion was huge. The pita was so fresh & the tzatziki was perfection. The falafel is also a must try. It melted in my mouth & the sauce that paired with it was absolutely delicious. The service was so friendly & welcoming. I believe it may have been the owner that greeted me, waited on me, & made sure I didn't have any questions about the menu. He also allowed me to customize my order since I was by myself and wanted a smaller portion of falafel so that I could try more items. I seriously can't say enough great things about this place. Prices are very reasonable & you'll leave feeling more then satisfied. I can't wait to go back & try more things! I wish I lived closer I'd be ordering from here all the time.

We've ordered takeout from fattoush numerous times and they never disappoint. I never liked falafel before but LOVE their falafel sandwich, and the veggies in their salads always taste fresh.

My partner and I came here on the recommendation of his coworker, who is from the area. I'll be honest, from the plaza and inconspicuous look, I probably wouldn't have gone here otherwise, but I'm glad we did! It's actually a very busy restaurant and I saw a lot of people coming in and out throughout my dine-in experience to pick up to go orders and even a large catering order. My partner got the lamb platter and I got the lamb gyro on pita with fries. We also got the fattoush salad to share. Salad was super refreshing, tomatoes were sweet. The lamb meat was super tender and I loved the white sauce on my gyro. My partner demolished the rice and lamb, which also came with hummus and salad, he cleaned his plate! Staff was attentive. Nothing to complain about! 4 stars bc it was very tasty, but not the best gyro pita I've ever had. Would still recommend giving it a try, as it's probably the best of its kind in the area and will def hit the spot when I'm craving a pita sandwich!
