Papa Fattoush Restaurant

Came here for dinner. Had some difficulty finding parking on the street. The restaurant was smaller than I expected for a sit down meal. The restaurant was not very busy. Service was quick and welcoming. The food was delicious! The food appeared fresh and was hot. The portions were plenty and I left feeling very full. I would come back here!

This place is SO delicious and a such a gem in Carmel. I was craving falafel and dolma and just looked up options on Yelp -- so glad that this was the choice! The service was quick, the food was incredibly fresh, and it was clean and cozy. The hummus was beautiful, the tatziki was delicious, the pita was FRESH! The thoum wasn't as garlicky as I like, but I also understand catering to the general populous. The falafel was perfectly fried, the dolma were so beautiful and sprinkled with sumac which was the perfect addition!My dining partner ordered a schwarma sandwich and said it was "incredible!" and super juicy. Will definetly be putting this into the rotation!

Delicious and authentic Mediterranean food in the heart of Carmel! Everything here is so affordable and so fresh too. We came in with a large group and ordered the family platter. This is more of a take-out or casual dining place (you'll be eating on paper plates and with plastic forks if you dine in), but the workers were really nice and patient in making sure we had everything we needed while dining in. The platter came with hummus and pita bread and it was so so good! It also came with a salad and fries, and the platter itself was full of so many types of meat! Chicken, lamb, and kafta kabobs all served over this amazing yellow rice! Huge portions for a reasonable price and really tasty food. Loved it!

Food and service were amazing. Prices are very reasonable for good size potions. Highly recommend.

Great little Mediterranean spot in downtown Carmel. This is a small counter service restaurant but the food is absolutely delicious. The pita's served with the hummus were so soft and delicious. And they put a very generous amount of meat inside the gyro, everything was cooked fresh and served hot!

food was pretty good. the server was super super nice. however the table and ground did feel sticky. but basically if you like mediterranean food you can't go wrong here

If you're looking to get the meat sweats, come to Papa Fattoush! They hook it up with portions of meat and couldn't have asked for a better experience. It doesn't look like much but this place delivered (ok not literally, we ate there). The menu is small but the plate of food was huge. I got the gyro meat with rice and salad and a side of hummus and baklava. It took a little bit to get the food but well worth the wait. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned and I loved the hummus. Smooth, nutty and exactly what I was looking for. I had enough for two meals so my buck definitely went further than I expected here.

If you're looking for authentic Greek meals, look no further. I'm so happy to have found this place because the food was delicious. They offer a variety of Greek/Mediterranean dishes and each comes in a great portion size. I ordered a gyro plate while my friend got a chicken shawarma plate and everything looked and tasted fresh. We sat outside in their convenient outdoor seating and soaked up the sun while enjoying our meals. They also have a few indoor seats or you could place an order for takeout.

the food was SOO GOOOD. i got the mezze plate so that i could try more food. all in all the people were pretty nice and fast. the restaurant is really small but they also have free candy which is a plus

This place is fantastic! I keep going back because it's so delicious (and close to where I live haha). The hummus is life changing. Seriously. It makes you want to throw the kind you get from the grocery store straight in the garbage! The lentil soup is another favorite of mine. I've also tried the falafel and baklava - all amazing. They have free candy and tea for customers as well. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the arts district in Carmel.
