Fairouz is a wonderful restaurant. I've been dining with them for more than four years and taking out during Covid. They are our top choice for middle Eastern food. Besides great food, the people are friendly and provide great service. Highly recommend. 😀😀😀😀😀 More...

Great service! The place is super clean. I ordered the falafel wrap. It was super good. However, the falafel is not cooked in round individual balls, as the typical falafel. It's more like a falafel log Idk but it made a difference for me in terms of texture. But it was still a good bite. Should have gone with the chicken shawarma or stake. :) More...

Chicken kebab is my favorite. I love the flavor of the grilled chicken and vegetables even the garlic dip. Generous in serving.

I LOVE their labneh it is so creamy and thickkk! All their dips are great! Baba ghanoush and hummus are simply a cut above everyone else in the Boston area. I also love their chicken kabob which is super flavorful. I love the way they roast their veggies in good olive oil so amazing. The one comment I have for them is that their chicken and beef shawarma are not cooked on the big wheel, they're kind of separately cooked on their own. They taste good just don't have the same tenderness that comes from being shaved off the big roasted wheel. Maybe one day they will get the equipment, I'm sure theirs would be the best! I also like their fries! Love dipping them in the garlic sauce it's so good. Wishing them all the continued success in the Boston area. More...

I heard about Fairouz (named after the famous Lebanese singer) from a Sheryl Julian review in the Globe:bostonglobe.com/lifestyl…Sounded good, so a Middle Eastern-born friend and I decided to check it out.  Our conclusion: Fairouz is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in the Boston area!At 7PM on a cold Wednesday night, there were only 2 other tables occupied.  The interior is spartan but nice, with plenty of cloth-covered tables and a few booths.  The menu had the usual Middle Eastern specialties, and as Sheryl pointed out, a few that you may not have had before.  But my companion knew just what to order:ZA'ATAR: Complementary start to the meal, with pita bread, this was excellent.  My DC is addicted to this stuff, and said it was an outstanding version.FALAFEL ($9): Served with plenty of tahini in a sauce boat, these were well made and cooked all the way through, although more dense than I prefer.  A crunchy crust, but no burnt or old oil flavor.  My companion particularly liked them.HUMMUS ($7): A sizable bowl served with plenty of pita (not warm), this was very thick and delicious.  Maybe not the best hummus I've ever had, but I'd be happy to eat this every day.  I like that there was so much of it, with a comparable amount of pita.ARNABEET ($8): We had to try the roasted cauliflower that Sheryl raved about, and it was a pretty dish and perfectly roasted, although I didn't find it as addictive as Sheryl.  But who doesn't like roasted cauliflower?, SAMBOUSEK($8): Meat-filled baked dumplings, these were perfectly cooked, with nicely seasoned, finely ground stuffing (maybe a hint of cinnamon, I'm not sure).  My favorite of the evening.They also serve pizza, hamburgers, etc, if you care.Highly recommended for a nice, causal Lebanese meal.  Parking is fairly easy, and free, along Washington Street out front (if snow piles don't cover the parking lane).

What a nice find. We are sitting here stuffed like a grape leaf. And these people know how to stuff grape leaves. We had the falafel, moussaka, Shawarma, and all the fixings. Everything fresh and delicious. They start with a bread basket and olive oil with sesame seeds for a dip. The crust of the bread is crunchy goodness. We enjoyed dinner, took home enough food for a small army and the check was less than some cheap lunch dates. We will be back! More...

Showed up late with a large group. Staff was very friendly and patient with explaining different things. Everything we ate was delicious, but we all especially loved the crispy falafel, creamy hummus, and tahini sauce. I got cheese sambousek - a sharp, herbed feta-like cheese in a pastry shell and it might be my new favorite Mediterranean dish. Finished off with some baklava to-go and enjoyed it the next night-some of the beat baklava I've had.Can't recommend enough! More...

The Lebanese food here is top notch, I take their meat pies to my Lebanese grandma and she loves them so they must be good. They do have more 'western' food on their menu if you have a picky eater but honestly the Lebanese food is so good I wouldn't get anything else. One of the top 5 hummus I've been able to find in the boston area, really highly recommend them. More...

Amazing food. This is my second time here and everything is home made fresh. The hummus is as good as it gets. My mother had the fatoush salad-excellent. My father had spinach pies (I don’t remember what they were called in the menu, they were beautiful and he lived them. I had the lamb kabob,so good. Highly recommended and I will be back.

Unfortunately, I no longer live in the area, however, I do work in Boston. At lunch Today I was able to get out and about. (rare). I initially drove right by and turned around to come back after seeing the sign. Instantly charmed by the room and the smells wafting from the kitchen.Chicken kabob wrap was excellent! When I asked the server what the special was today (albeit, too late),  a min later Chef appeared in front of me. Wow! Made me feel like his customers are important to him. We didn't exchange pleasantries (no English, I think, so what?) Gracious and classy operation. GO EAT HERE! More...

I eat here a few years back and I would not have given it an excellent review. Recently, I gave the place another chance as I was craving some humus, babaganoosh, taboolah and shishtawooq. .. I was pleasantly surprised of how fresh and tasty the food was. So I asked for the owner as he is always there and he informed me of the new chef  Mr. Goerge who has many years of experience in the restaurant and food business. I thanked him for a wonderful dinner as it reminded me of the food I eat while in the ME.. This is authentic as it gets! Fresh and delicious! A must try!!!! More...

This place is really good! Got delivery scheduled for 2 hours in advance they brought it on time, food was still hot and super fresh! The meat grape leaves are the best I've had better than Al Wadi. Tje price is very reasonable for the amount of food we got. The only thing I was not happy with was the "garlic dip" didn't know what that would be but got it anyways as a 3$ side but it was just like garlic mayo and grossed me out. But the rice, falafel, pita, labneh, cheese rolls and everything else was super super good. Still worth 5stars! Will def be going back soon! More...

It almost pains me to reveal this hidden gem. The food is very delicious and very authentic. I've been there twice and received excellent service both times. I recommend sticking to the mezza plates (think middle eastern tapas), so you can get a variety of dishes. The pita is fluffy and perfect for dipping in the creamy hummus or flavorful babaganouj.While I'm a little sad to see it not being very crowded either time I've gone, I'm always happy to not have to wait for a table :-) More...

Excellent Lebanese food in a homey setting.  While the ambiance is not quite as appealing as Al Wadi, the food is a bit different and equally as good.  The complementary carrots dipped in lemon juice were a nice treat, and the hot appetizer plate easily served as one of our meals.  As noted by others, their hummus is really tasty and definitely worth a try.

Hidden local gem. I'm blessed with a selection of very good middle eastern restaurants in town and this one is up there. We ordered a bunch to go and that did not mess up the quality.The mezza platter was tasty but the hummus was the best on the plate. We could have just ordered that and been satisfied.The chicken dinner plate was a very good portion. The chicken skewers were charred nicely and the rice was so so good. With tahini on top made the perfect to-go food. Highly recommend! More...

Excellent food & customer service experience. I used the online ordering feature through Yelp and there was a small complication with my order. The person who answered the phone was courteous, admitted the mistake, and rectified it right away. Likewise the driver was prompt, professional, and polite both times. The complication was resolved pleasantly and they generously compensated by adding on a complementary side dish. All of this occurred within the original estimated delivery time, which is impressive! Yes, the food was delicious too!  I had a Greek salad with Lamb kebob and hummus. The hummus was particularly fantastic - creamy and tangy.  I'm excited to have found a new regular place near my new apartment. More...

We went there for a late lunch on the Father's Day weekend and were delighted with the great food quality and welcoming and helpful staff and the nice live ethnic music and songs you don't expect to see in a local restaurant around Boston. .. I tried their beef kabob platter and my wife went for their chicken kabob and both were satisfied with our choices. On the side we got Tabouleh and babaghanoush... IMHO the latter could use a larger fraction grilled eggplant and slightly more garlic ... only my opinion though. The only real downside was that, in general, the side dishes were a bit overpriced.
