Fata Morgana

In spite of its namesake, I assure you that this is no mirage. This is the real deal and in all my travels to West Asia, this was surprisingly good and way exceeded for expectations.To be fair, I only ordered the Hummus and wow, it was a full spread of tahini, a spicy sauce and tahini with to go with the phenomenal pita I had. This hummus eats like a meal, for 2 mind you, but don't let that stop you from ordering more.I'm looking to returning and trying the rest of the menu. I only gave 5 starts because there's no 10 possible.A haven for true foodies looking for a (real) oasis in this desert.P.S. - Order the Limonata

I enjoyed my large portion of chicken schnitzel and healthy, tasty Israeli salad. My server was very attentive and smiled a lot (sweet). The Olympics were on the TV and music was playing. It wasn't loud. The place was clean.

I have to praise this restaurant, the most Israeli there is, really delicious, clean, service ten out of ten, we had a great time, thank you very much, I highly recommend the baguette that comes with Franch fries , very tasty, we will definitely come back here.

Delicious delicious delicious! Hummus with mushrooms are so good. Creamy hummus goes so well with mushrooms and onions. The bread for the hummus is so fluffy and warm. We could not stop but have to stop because this appetizer is huge and we need to have some rooms for the main dish.Sabich is huge and delicious. Fata chef sandwich is so delicious. The sandwich has schnitzel, thin slide of egg plants, and the bast part is the matbucha, spicy tomato and roasted peppers. The portion is huge so we got some leftovers and we also got baklava to go.

I recently went here with a few other people for a weeknight dinner and had a very good experience-the ambiance was fine, the service was solid, and the food was tasty overall. My group split the Baladi eggplant and Lachmajoun as appetizers. Both were very good-the eggplant was smoky and creamy and the lachmajoun had fantastic flavor and spice. Be careful with the condiments that come with the lachmajoun-they have great kick!For mains, one of my friends and I split the malawach and the lamb merguez sandwich. The malawach was delicious and had great toppings. The lamb merguez was somewhat dry, the laffa disappointing, and the other toppings somewhat lacking.I would recommend Fata Morgana for your next outing in Scottsdale!

Amazing, authentic Israeli food in a beautiful, modern setting. The food here is the real deal with big flavors and a variety of options. They even sell fresh kosher meat through their butcher menu with very clean chicken wings and delicious merguez sausage (which you can get to cook at home or order in a pita - a strong recommend!). Plus, the Shabbat takeout buffet on Friday is a real life-saver. The staff are always friendly, too?

Monday night apparently was big night. We were in large group of 17 people and we had such a great time. The food were delicious and the service was good. I got rugelach for dessert for $9.99 a package and was about 15 pieces in it ( looked like mini croissants ) forgot to take pictures, but it was super good! I shared these with my group and everyone loved it. Overall was good and will comeback for more especially the rugelach dessert.Thank you!

I'm pissed at myself that it took me so long to have food from Fata Morgana! As a New York Jew, I was supremely comforted by the authentic food here. Got a lot of takeout that included pretty much the entire menu- shwarma, chicken, rice, pita, challah, hummus, babka, Israeli salad, date cookies, cabbage, and more. Also had a sabich sandwich, an Iraqi Jewish sandwich consisting of pita or laffa bread stuffed with fried eggplants, hard boiled eggs, chopped salad, parsley, amba and tahini sauce. I will say my favorite thing that I tried was the pita bread. It's so soft because they steam it, something I'd never heard of! If you're looking to get one item, I recommend this sandwich! Also appreciated how rich their babka is. It was the most moist, most chocolatey babka I have ever had, including homemade ones. All things Israeli found here! Authentic, high-quality, and comforting - what more could you ask for!

Came with my sister to try this place out. We started with the hummus. Omg it was huge! We weren't a fan of it cause it tasted weird like peanut butter. For entrees I got the baby chicken skewers. It was good you get to pick 2 sides as well. My sister got the chicken shawarma, it tasted good but it was cut into small pieces.

Portions are quite large-consider splitting everything. The garlic truffle fries are amazing. It can become uncomfortably crowded and hot-it's Phoenix. Service is attentive.The food is well worth the effort.
