    The food was delicious and tasted just like a homemade meal. Everything was fresh and felt like home.

    DELICIOUS!

    11/24/25 Ordered on DoorDash lunch & dinner. Chicken Shawarma and a Honeycomb. Paid for it there & went to pick it up. Arrived!! Greeted by kind worker and let him know and received with good day wishes! Great! Very nice restaurant. Lots of seating including little private areas that can be covered from others. Lunchtime! Oh my goodness! Where to start?? Fresh and DELICIOUS salad. Very flavorful hummus and tasty, perfectly cooked rice. Chicken is seasoned, tasty & GREAT! You make your own shawarma. The pita bread comes on the side. DELICIOUS, Garlic sauce too! You definitely get your moneys worth. Easily two meals of leftovers. The Honeycomb for dinner looks GREAT too! A lot! 1/2 will be plenty. More leftovers or to share! I'll add it after I have it tonight. Dinner! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, perfectly sweet Honeycomb 1/2 for dinner! Warming it made it even better!! Good service, convenient online ordering & Really GREAT lunch & soon to be Dinner!! Highly recommended!!

    Stumbled across this place while getting parts for my car at O'Reilly's! Ordered two meals and a side of pita bread and everything was delicious, and decently priced for the amount of food given. Will definitely come back, the atmosphere was pretty and everything was clean. The people were also really nice.

    So great food and place and service

    Such a great place. Service is so nice and qualified. Food just great. Respect to the chief. Highly recommend!!

    Newly opened restaurant. Waitress was polite and tried to explain some of the food items we had questions about. There was a little bit of a language barrier but we worked it out. Food was really good and portions were good. We will return and try new dishes. The home made hummus is the best I have ever had, so good. The lamb kabobs were so tender and tasty and the dipping sauce was outstanding. Prices are a little high But, worth the price. We will revisit soon.

    I just wanted hummus. Ordered a nice big 14 oz which came with a huge warm soft pita bread. 12 bucks. Best hummus I've tasted in a while subtle notes of tahini sauce garlic and olive oil. It was creamy and paired perfect with that soft warm pita. The music, along with the decor, and smells from the kitchen, was a new vibe and made me excited to come back to eat with my wife and my kid. Also the server who helped me at the counter was very engaging and informative. :)

    This is the first time I've been to Al-Hadara Restaurant. Very clean, friendly service, and food was amazing!! Variety of seasonings just dance on your palate! I ordered Haneeth Lamb lunch plate. Lamb was tender, perfectly seasoned, served over aromatic rice, & the bread (well, I could eat it all day!)

    Firstly, I cam from Oakland to an appointment and asked a friend of mine for a great place to eat…read morefor lunch while in Fresno. And so, the rice was so delicious, lamb so succulent that it almost melted in my mouth. The server was so kind and sweet, even with a jam packed midday lunch crowd. Everyone there seemed like they were being treated like family and like they eat there all the time. Aside from the above, which would easily be enough for a positive review here, there's even more. As I rushed out of the restaurant, I left my credit card. In my haste to be the 3-hour traffic back up to the Bay Area, I completely forgot until I got halfway back home, stopped for gas, and realized I couldn't pay for my gas with my card. I called them and luckily the same gal who was my server picked up and remembered me, confirmed she had my CC and told me to come back and get it. I told her I was back up in Oakland and asked a HUUUUUUGE Favor of them, to mail my CC back to me to save me the 6 hour round trip drive and ALL the headache I'd incur of getting a new card and having to redo all of the auto-pay set for countless bills with a new card number. Guess what? They did it! They took time from their busy lives, put a customer's needs first and saw past my human error and so generously sent my card to my home. Places like this family owned, down home place restore my faith in humanity and make me wish more places like this existed all over. "Thank you" doesn't even do justice for my gratitude to these folks. Can't wait to sit and dine with you all again. Huge thanks Phoenician Garden Folks

    This original location remains my recommended spot for Mediterranean food. Many Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in Fresno County are Armenian-owned, while only a small handful--like this family-run restaurant--specialize in Lebanese cuisine. Lebanese food is widely considered among the best expressions of Mediterranean cooking due to its vibrant use of fresh ingredients, particularly herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil, along with a strong emphasis on healthy, plant-based, and grilled dishes. It offers diverse, shareable, and nutrient-dense options such as tabbouleh, hummus, and falafel, making it both flavorful and nutritious. I always enjoy dining at Golden Grill because they exemplify Lebanese cuisine so well. Their dishes highlight fresh herbs like mint and parsley, along with garlic and lemon juice, rather than relying heavily on spices. The result is a light, refreshing, and aromatic flavor profile that feels both vibrant and balanced. The kebabs are excellent. The grilled cubes of beef, chicken, and kafta (ground beef and lamb) skewers are flavorful, tender, and juicy, topped with herbs and grilled to perfection. They carry a subtle smokiness and savory aroma, and the meats are beautifully charred with vibrant color. Their pita and saj sandwiches are also very well done. Each sandwich is warm and carefully assembled, forming a sturdy pocket filled with high-quality ingredients. They combine savory meats (or falafel and vegetables), creamy sauces, and crunchy pickles and onions into a balanced bite. The bread holds generous fillings without collapsing while still being tender enough to bite through easily. The pocket opens cleanly, creating the perfect pouch for the ingredients. For a small restaurant with limited seating that appears to receive many to-go orders, the presentation for dine-in guests is especially thoughtful. The dishes are served on clean white ceramic plates and trays, with the food carefully arranged and portions balanced. It is simple yet elegant and visually appealing. Golden Grill also captures the Lebanese mezze-style dining experience. As someone of Korean heritage, I appreciate this approach, since it is similar to how Korean meals are served with many shared dishes that provide variety in every meal. Some of the shared plates include Lebanese staples like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and fresh flatbread. Everything here tastes fresh and well-prepared, with distinct textures and aromatic flavors. The signature entrées come with two cold appetizers. The hummus is silky smooth, a velvety blend of garbanzo beans and tahini that almost melts in your mouth. The baba ghanouj is creamy, garlicky, and finished with olive oil. The tabbouleh is bright and balanced with lemon juice, garlic, and a generous drizzle of olive oil that ties together the citrusy and earthy flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, with tables and chairs wiped down quickly after guests leave. Service is friendly, welcoming, and helpful when placing orders. Prices are also reasonable, especially considering many competing Mediterranean restaurants do not place the same emphasis on presentation or on creating a mezze-style dining experience at no additional cost. While some may prefer other Mediterranean cuisines, I personally enjoy the fresh, light, and diverse flavors that Lebanese food offers. Golden Grill's citrus-forward dishes and extensive mezze options make it one of my favorite Mediterranean spots.

When prices are finally revealed at checkout, they are shockingly high. While I was there, the gentleman in front of me was told his six pomegranates totaled $42. He was so surprised he asked the cashier to confirm she was speaking to him. She explained they were priced at $6.99 per pound. That price is inflated and extremely expensive for pomegranates. He did not end up purchasing them and left disappointed. I also noticed several products on the shelves that were past their expiration date, which is very concerning. Beyond pricing and product quality, the store lacks organization, making it difficult to shop efficiently. There was only one cashier open, and the checkout line stretched down the aisle. Although I appreciate friendly customer service, the cashier was engaged in a lengthy conversation while the line continued to grow. It's absolutely possible to be warm and personable while still being mindful of customers waiting. Living in Orange County, I'm fortunate to have access to many well-stocked, organized, and fairly priced Middle Eastern markets. I genuinely wish the Fresno community had the same level of quality and consistency available to them. This is unfortunately the grocery store my mother frequents due to a lack of options in Fresno. There is a lot of potential here, but unfortunately the overall experience missed the mark.

The cashiers always look pissed off at working at the register except this one guy he's always smiling I don't know his name because none of them were nametags so you could call them by name not even the ones that I know over there I know their names they should all wear name tags and all have nice looking aprons but then again that's not my store but I go there and there's really no deals The fruits are always expensive and bruised up and yucky looking so if you're lucky to find good parsleys that are not filled with sand that would be awesome so we can make our tabouli fresh and not spend so much time washing the dang thing but they do have a sale sometimes for the parsley at 2 $1 that's a great deal. I give this place a three star just because it could get organized it could be like the other papayas around the world the one in Michigan looks so beautiful so clean but when you go to the one in Fresno it's like and whatever the floors ugly it feels dark and dingy the international soda aisle that you go to is mismanaged pricing doesn't match or there's pricing on there they don't even bother removing it and putting nice proper signs around it they probably need to go visit some other stores and know how to label things and put prices on there or maybe even get a scanner where customers can see how much they're actually paying and not be surprised out on the line when they cash out or check out. but other than that the food the area where you order your food the menus delicious food but it seems like the cooks don't even pay attention at the cash register to get your order so you have to look at them if you don't speak Arabic then you don't get help about just about. but some of them like you know they should have a bill there so people can ring it for attention and to get customer service. Just because you work in the food department for the restaurant part of it You need to pay attention on the cash register too there should be some kind of thing that alerts them. other than that I have some friends over there and they are funny they crack me up but of course they don't look up a lot they're always looking down. I like the idea that this store is international way to go Glad you guys open My reviews are not that harsh it's just the way I feel. Just the way I feel I didn't say how you would feel just the way you feel. Thank you
