    Hummus was amazing. Loved the burnt Brussels sprouts. The steak was very nice. And the wine selection was good.

    We ordered the Feast for four of us and there was a nice variety of dips and food. Great flavors and plenty of food for the four of us. The servers were all very friendly, helpful and attentive. We were very happy with our first experience at Fairouz!

    Fairouz can do no wrong. We went to a different restaurant prior and wanted to leave so bad, and we were glad to get this reservation within 15 mins of checking the app to book it. Here’s to making a last minute decision for my birthday dinner. The meat platter was amazing, quick to bring to the table. An intimate ambiance for a date night, and great Arabi playlist of course
