    The Beef Kebab dinner.
    Dan D.

    We went there tonight on a Groupon. Eddie took fantastic care of us. I know he's at least the manager and maybe the owner. Service was great and the food was fantastic and we actually got out cheaper than what we thought. If you haven't been there. Do yourself a favor and try it. We also had some kind of spicy pita bread that we dipped in some kind of white sauce for appetizer that was fantastic.

    Steak and Shrimp Kebab

    Finally!!!! Al-Amir has been in my hometown of Arlington, TX for over 35 years!!!! S/O to Hamza for dropping the knowledge! If you wondering, they do have a Dallas location. Both places in the afternoon... the roof is jumping off the building! You'll hear some Latin, techno vibes while dining. I found myself dancing a few times to some Selena... "I'll do anything for Selena's!!!" The watermelon martini was good! Embodied the perfect watermelon. The Hummus is the perfect creamy, consistent texture! No lumps and just so smooth. Oiled and topped with a dabble of fattoush! Served with triangles of pita, piping hot! Needed no extra seasoning, just wishing for a spicy version to complete my wildest spicy hummus dreams. Don't skip out on the cheese rolls. Filled with feta and fried *drools*. Pro tip: dip those babies in your hummus, NOW!!! Lastly, my awesome waitress Liya recommended all the kebabs. So I went for surf and turf pairing. Shrimp and Steak served over a bed of rice... steak perfectly cooked. So tender I pulled it apart with my fingers. Shrimp tender and both were juicy with the perfect grill marks and char!! Most importantly, everything is cooked fresh, daily!!! And you can taste it in the food. Def will be back. In my opinion, better than Princes!

    Hummus w beef! Tasty

    Driving down the road to this place, you worry if it's sketchy but worry not, it's very nice once you see the building! It was a pretty white beach looking building with a great patio, lots of parking and well lit so I never felt unsafe. Heads up, this place is DRESS CODE enforced when it's evening time so either come earlier or come prepared. I wanted hookah and my friend wanted a drink. So we ended up here, one of the few places around Arlington that have both. The hookah was smooth, minty and the service was good/experienced! We had Josh as our server and hope we can get him every time we visit bc he was a good server and great conversation. They had other staff making rounds to help as well. Never needed to wait or ask for much. We tried the hummus w beef and it was delicious. I'll try an entree in the future. The inside had two big dance floors as well. One more catered to authentic Latino music and the other for more variety of music so something for everyone! This place might be on the pricey end but I feel we got what we paid for plus, hookah and food is shareable so very worth it. Had lots of fun here and plan to be back.

    Chicken kabob platter
    P T.

    I purchased a Groupon for this place so I was a little inhibited about the quality-- we went on a Wednesday night and it was dead. ..with that said -- the food was delicious! We were promptly greeted/seated and looked over the menu. I start my judging process with kabob -- I ordered the chicken kabob... wow-- the chicken was succulent and well seasoned. The rice was moist with hints of flavor. The garlic sauce was robust. My friend ordered the lamb kabob -- it was also tender and well seasoned. The hummus and pita were equally tasty. The plate also came with roasted tomatoes and onions. .. mmm mmm good! This place isn't around the corner for me, but I'll be back for food this good. I'll update to five stars once I try more things and see consistency.

    Whats the dress code for weekends?

    It's dressy , since it's a dancing place they require dress shoes for men you see them in a collar shirt and jeans and women wear dresses or skirts , jeans and a cute top with heels. Some a little skimpier than others lol

For dessert, we tried the Baklava Sundae; chef's kiss. I'm not sure what kind of ice cream flavor it was (did not taste like pistachio), but it was amazing. It was very light, semi sweet and had pieces of pistachio inside. Definitely 1 of 1. Our server was amazing, and knowledgeable about the menu. She didn't steer us wrong on any of the recommendations. This place is a must any time I'm in Arlington.

Does it really matter that there's six shooters and Texas stars? No because there is enthusiastically prepared Lebanese food happening here. We arrived to lively Middle Eastern music, just short of "Lunch special" time in the afternoon and ordered from the regular menu. Take a look at my large portion of Babaganoush! Creamy. Perfect. The pitas arrived in a warmer and were typically good. We also tried their lentil soup. I had the cup, he had the bowl. Mine was a little watery actually and underwhelming. Flat. No flavor. But his had depth and texture. Not sure about how that happened. We both ordered the Iraqui Kabob Sandwich. Nicely wrapped with a tender, juicy and well seasoned kabob, I loved the wrap with Tahini sauce. My husband even ordered a second one!!

They even have a little parking lot, which is always a bonus. I will start with my only minor gripe. Without asking for water, they gave us two Kirkland bottled waters. Since every table had them and we had not asked, I assumed they were complimentary. In fact, I had said I was fine with the water bottle I had brought in with me. On the bill they charged us $1 each. Again, it was only a minor gripe, which stayed minor because the food and service were outstanding. We started with the famous meat pies, but you can mix them up with cheese or spinach as well. They come four to an order, and the waitress suggested two meat and two cheese. Whoa, these were incredible and a definite must order. Next, my man and I split the triple kebob plate with chicken, beef, and kofta. I love kofta, but the chicken might have been my favorite, so tender and perfectly charred. The plate comes with two sides, and we chose salad and hummus. The kebobs also come with a few slices of tomato, pickles, some garlic sauce, and a thin flatbread. Everything was wonderful. I only wish I lived closer, but this is a spot we may return to as a destination all on its own.

Our usual move is the 4-person combo for the family, or the Iraqi-style meal that comes with that MASSIVE Iraqi bread -- seriously, the bread deserves its own table. In my opinion, Fattoush is easily one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in all of North Texas. Recently, they added pizza to the menu, and we usually get the chicken + beef shawarma combo pizza. But today... fate intervened. They didn't have our usual meats available, so I asked the server, "Can you substitute the meat with lamb kebab?" And OH. MY. GOODNESS. LAMB. KEBAB. PIZZA. This may legitimately be the best thing I've eaten here in four years -- and that is saying A LOT. Add some fresh white onion and a little of their garlic sauce, and it is absolutely MAGNIFICENT. Technically, it's off-menu and there's an extra charge for the lamb, which I was more than happy to pay. Zero regrets. Fattoush, PLEASE make this a permanent menu item. Also, my name is Jay, so if you want to call it "The Jay Special," I'm completely fine with that. No royalties necessary. Until then, just ask for the lamb kebab pizza, add onion and garlic sauce, and thank me later.

We were quickly seated and our orders were taken. For our party of three, we opted for the Combo for Two family meal as well as the Maza Large. The latter was brought out first. It include the falafel, tabooli, hummus, baba ghanoush, and some pita bread. My favorite out of these was definitely the falafel. After not too long of a wait, the meal for the combo came out. The meats, lamb and chicken, were without a doubt juicy and flavorful. Went well with the rice (which I do wish came more with the order). However, the highlight of the night for me was actually the chicken lemon soup. This is my first time ever having it. My first thought was that it would be too lemon-forward. That was certainly not the case. It was still savory and subtly fragrant with lemon instead. Despite all of the food being above average to very tasty as well as the service being superb, the one thing that detracted from the night for me was the breeze every single time the door opened. The weather was particularly cold and windy that day. We weren't the closest to the door but every time someone came in or out, there was a noticeable breeze. I feel that this could have been mitigated if there was a panel that could shield customers from the breeze on these certain days. Regardless, I would still come back for some delicious mediterranean food!

If you have never been, go and if you've been, go back because it's definitely worth the visit. It is a great place to enjoy tasty homemade Lebanese, Mediterranean and Greek food. Oh! One final note: the staff is friendly and welcoming. I felt so comfortable and relaxed because they really make you feel at home .
