Tonight was our first time visiting Fayrouz and it definitely won't be our last. Everything we tried was AMAZING! We started with the veggie platter and kibbeh as an appetizer. The veggie platter had falafel, stuffed grape leaves, babaganoush, and THE BEST hummus. The kibbeh was also outstanding! For the main course, I had the Fayrouz grill platter, which comes with lamb, chicken, and kefta skewers, rice, fries, and some grilled veggies. The dish is served with toum (a garlic sauce, similar the garlic aioli...very garlicky in a good way), some crazy good chili sauce, and a delicious tahini sauce. Everything was top notch and made from scratch. The staff was also very friendly and helpful! We will be coming back again and again!

I loved my gyro salad that I got from here. The service was great and we really enjoyed the food. It was quick to come out once we ordered and there was only one server for like 15 tables but he was doing amazing on a busy lunch rush. We got to have our dog outside with us which was nice. I definitely recommend the food here and the fresh veggies and great quality of the food!

10/10 experience at Fayrouz tonight. The hummus was incredible and we were happy to learn it’s made fresh, in-house, daily and that you can stop in just to buy some of that fresh to take home! Gyro was so yummy and my husband loved his falafel and baklava. We’ll be back!!

Absolutely fantastic Mediterranean food in Carmel. I had the chicken shawarma bowl and it was spectacular. The rice and chicken are seasoned well, the fries and Greek salad help to tie the whole dish together. The staff are very friendly as well. Definitely recommend this place for an affordable and delicious meal.

I tried this Mediterranean place for dinner tonight and I'm glad I did. The service was awesome and the food was fantastic. The server I had came back to check on me several times. The owner was very friendly and greeted customers. I ordered the chicken kabob platter which comes with yellow rice and a side of fries. Everything came out hot and tasty. I’m not sure what they put on their fries but they were the best. The chicken was well seasoned, juicy and very flavorful. They had Middle Eastern music playing in the background for ambiance and a big mural of the pyramids. Please try the desserts as well. Delish!

If you have a craving for authentic Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, this is the spot to go to. They have a delicious menu of all the staples including falafels, hummus, and shawarma. I tried the hummus which came with delicious pita bread, as well as the shawarma which tasted delicious and authentic. Portion sizes are also quite generous. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. The place can get busy at lunchtime though!

Fayrouz is a must try for Mediterranean food lovers. I wanted to try this place for so long, I’m glad I tried it today for lunch. Ordered their Chicken shawarma bowl, I’m definitely surprised with the quantity. Taste was pretty good and my plate was colourful just how I like it. Staff were polite and the service was good. This could easily be one of the to-go spots for a late lunch or dinner. Definitely would recommend them.

The food was delicious. Got an app with hummus and baba ghanoush, olive leaves, and falafel that was a great way to try a spectrum of items. My main was a gyro that was also delicious. I used some of the hummus and baba ghanoush on it as well. Great meal.
