The food here is delicious and very high quality. Great spot for a fancy dinner out to celebrate a special occasion. They were very knowledgeable of their menu and ingredients and were able to provide me a gluten free meal without any issues. Great spot if you are celiac.

The food was very good - unique dish and flavours. However the service was slow. It took 30 mins for our first cocktails to come and sat for nearly 20 minutes waiting for the machine after the bill was brought. If the service was improved my rating would be much higher. Poor service really takes away from the experience.

The lamb kabobs smelled so bad. You can tell it wasn’t fresh at all. And the fatoush salad wasn’t even the traditional way. They had crushed pita chips instead of whole pieces. And lastly, the Brussels sprouts had way too much cream/cheese. We left the food unconsumed mainly, and walked out

We took out of town clients for the feast and everyone loved it. Service was great and the food was impeccable and abundant. We were stuffed! Everything was fresh and delicious and the patio was a perfect setting for us.

For a hot summer day the restaurant really needs a fan or two for some air circulation. But the food and service was great.

I had not been to Fairouz in a few years, and was very impressed. The food was very tasty and the desserts were unusual but really delicious! Service was excellent and attentive.
