It's been years since I have been here but every time I come it is always refreshing and delicious. Got the ferdos sampler and escargot. It was perfect for two people. Tabouli was fresh and the grape leaves packed with stuffing. So good! I will be back. Escargot was buttery/garlicky and same consistency of calamari. The sampler has stuffed grape leaves, hummus and tabouli. read more

Kept seeing this Lebanese restaurant along Federal Hwy and finally had the rare opportunity to try it. I've had mediterranean food plenty of times but never Lebanese coffee but knew it was super strong. The waitress made traditional Lebanese coffee in a mini metal kettle or Rakweh, presented on a gold colored metal serving tray. I poured the thick black coffee into a small porcelain cup. The taste was extremely strong, nothing at all like cuban coffee. Aside from the coffee, they have a ful traditional Lebanese menu including a great drink special - Monday thru Thursday all day Sangrias for only $6.00. read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Got a little bit of everything and it was all INCREDIBLE. Our server Samir was the best. We'll definitely be back!!!!

Food was delicious, service was exceptional! Look forward to returning to Ferdos Grill.

This was our initial lunch visit to Ferdos Grill, and we were extremely happy. The lamb grape leaves were outstanding and very authentic. We both had the Shish Kafta and it was plentiful and outstanding. The salad that they served with the meal was also delicious. I highly recommend this Lebanese restaurant for great food and authenticity. read more

OH MY Word Authentic, like momma made it. In love with the place, the food and the vibe are equally wonderful. Staff is gracious and welcoming. If you enjoy authentic Mediterranean food at its finest. Take it from a happy foodie. This is it. Rob read more

Ferdos Grill - Ferdos Special. Chicken kabob , shish kabob, kafta kabob, tabouli, hummus, baba gannoul. My favorite. - Mediterranean Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Excellent from start to finish. The place is beautiful inside. The booths the chandeliers so ornate. Great attention to detail. Our server was such a gentleman. Very attentive. The food was perfect. Lentil soup, zaatar manakeesh and the mixed grill platter. We actually wound up have 4 meals from it. 3 dinners and one lunch. It's the kind of place that you're planning your next meal at before you even finish. The almond cake dessert was amazing too and expresso was perfect. Everything was so fresh. They also told me they've been open 27 years so they are definitely doing it right. read more

My favorite is the Chicken Breast Platter. The breast is moist and seasoned perfectly. The rice, hummus and salad are great additions to the platter. The complimentary pita bread was a great appetizer prior to our meal. The service by Julio is efficient and enjoyable. The ambience includes upbeat middle eastern music and beautiful Mediterranean decor. read more

Good food, if you're dropping in. If you're planning ahead -- and trying to make a reservation, as suggested; they DO get busy -- go elsewhere. Noone answers their phone -- 6 attempts over a week. Noone responds to emails -- 4 tried, over a week as well. read more

A place you feel welcome with good service and excellent food. Beautifully decorated and cozy booths.

I've been driving by this restaurant for the 25 years I've lived in Ft Lauderdale. I finally gave it a try on 2/3/24. We arrived at 6pm on a Saturday night and 3 tables were occupied. In the beginning we had great service from the male server. We ordered an appetizer and entree. The server asked if we wanted it all at once or one at a time. We chose one at a time. While we waited for the appetizer another staff member brought us warm pita. There is olive oil at the table for one to dip it in. We received the Arayes appetizer 10 minutes after ordering it. It was delicious. This is when things went downhill. We waited one hour after receiving the appetizer to receive the Shawarma entree. While sitting there waiting for the entree, the staff ignored us for 45 minutes. The male who refills waters checked on us and said our entree will be out shortly. Then the female owner checked on us and said it would be coming up soon. Then the male server came to our table and told us we never ordered the Shawarma and now the owner is yelling at him because we told her we were waiting on our entree. It was so unprofessional. The entree came out about 10 minutes after the server spoke with us. The owner never apologized for the mistake or acknowledged it. The entree was delicious too, but I am staying with the 1 star rating due to the terrible and unprofessional service. They automatically add 18% gratuity to the bill, which we did pay, but felt it should have been removed. read more

Always drove by this place and finally decided to check it out. Had a good meal with friends, the dips were delicious

This is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have ever been to. The food is authentic and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Lucy was my server she was very knowledgeable. If I could give 10 stars, I would! read more

We ordered takeout for the first time and it was excellent! We originally were going to dine in, but we were on a time crunch to go home so we popped in and ordered our meal to go. We came on a Monday night and were greeted right away. We were escorted to the bar and the hostess/server gave us a few minutes to peruse the menu. She suggested the Ferdo Special Platter to share which came with a little bit of everything; protein, rice, salad and hummus along with garlic sauce. We also ordered a side of French fries. While we waited, we enjoyed a glass of delicious Lebanese wine. Our food came out shortly after finishing our wines and we were on our way. With our short time there, the service was great and we'll definitely be back to dine in. When we get home, our food was packaged nicely and it was alllll delicious! The meats were cooked to perfection and she even gave us extra pita to enjoy. All of the flavors were fresh and plentiful and we ate the whole thing. A new Mediterranean spot to add to our rotation! read more

My server's name was Favion, he was an amazing server HANDS DOWN!!! It was my first time there, he suggested what I would enjoy from the lunch menu, it was rice and beef, and salad, it also had hummus and it was delicious! The other people just walked past me kinda smirked never said a word to me except are you ready to pay?? They also went past other tables and spoke to each customer. I don't want to throw in the "BLACK CARD" me being the only black in there, you can come to your own conclusion. read more

Came here for the first time and cannot recommend enough. Will be our new go to whenever I am in town. Lucy our waitress had the best recommendations for a group of three and was so friendly, we felt like family. Tried the stuffed grape leaves and kibbeh Bil as an app, the special with samples of everything and baklava. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just absolutely amazing! read more

An absolute VIBE. Totally recommend this place. Free parking out front. Our orders: chicken kebab, shish kebab (med rare), hot tea, hummus, tabouleh. The music is a vibe, food was 11/10, and service was fun. I could bathe in the hummus read more

we were extremely disappointed with the food, had to return the beef shilefta had a odd refrigerated taste. However, what was mostly concerned us was after our order was taken by the server who is the chef's son not once did he come back to our table and asked if we needed anything else or how was our meal. He literally disappeared. Lastly when we politely shared this feedback with manager NO one really cared. Thumbs down for this place and we will never return. read more

I ordered the grilled chicken salad and I will not be back. It was terrible. It used to be good.

9/30/24- place was empty. But . I ordered the Tawook Chick. Platter. It came with small ramekins of garlic sauce yum, also a nice salad with a very tasty dressing. Plus hummus and pita, ( looks as if they butterfly them. ) Very thin, but good. Service was nice. By the time I left some more people arrived . read more

Ferdos is not a place I'd write out completely and hear me out. The food seemed to lack a bit of freshness and refinement in terms of plating and portion size. The portions are okay for the price but could be better at almost $20 a plate ( for example , the vegetables portion did not coincide with the rice and is personally enjoy more vegetables than parboiled rice ) for something as basic as vegetables , parboiled rice and chicken. I will upload a photo of my plate so you can take a gander. Okay here's the part where we don't write it off. This super quaint spot can be as quiet or as loud , depending on the day and parties inside of course. We went right before the dinner rush and it slowly got a bit louder. It is consistent with the taste , you can easily find that consistency in most of their dishes. The babaganoush was excellent as well as the lentils. The servers are also very pleasant and quick to help but make sure to order everything at once in case there's a huge party. Would I go back to it again? Maybe but it wasn't a space for me to remember to go back because it didn't have anything that truly made it different than most Lebanese spots. read more

Now this place turned out to be a great surprise... It was quiet in there mid week but was really craving a lamb/ Mediterranean dish and these guys didn't disappoint. It's casual, it's simple, mid range but very good comfort food. I recommend. read more

The night my friend and I went was a one woman show. She seated us and was the server. No issues. Really, really loved the food.broght home enough for another meal Only complaint was when I used Applepay, the bill said tip was included. Found out after we left that the tip was 18%. I would have given more. Will definitely be back and hope to make it up read more

The ambience is great! Love the decor, the waitress was amazing, so personable and friendly; she had a lot of knowledge on the food which I loved because I haven't really had much of it before. The food tasted so fresh and delicious! We had three dips: hummus, yogurt dip and baba ghanoush. We had grape leaves, kibbi (fried) which is my fave it's so delicious! And the falafel! So flavorful and crunchy on the outside! The service was immaculate and we even tried dessert, which I can't recall the name but it had cheese and rose petal water with crispy noodles on top and crushed pistachios it was delightful! Highly recommend and would definitely be back!! read more

Amazing service! Amazing food. Felt like I was eating authentic Lebanese food. 10/10 recommend

Honestly second time ordering from them for work lunch in and I'm still disappointed. I got the chicken platter and this is how it came. 3 pieces of chicken meat which had no flavor. I did like the hummus, rice and the salad but the chicken wasn't the best. Disappointed read more

The food was delicious, tasty and fresh, but the service was slow, inconsistent, and harried! The decor and ambiance are very nice. If you like or haven't tried Lebanese food, stop in and check it out! We were a group of 20+ so that may have been the service issue. They needed at least one more server for us. However, the food was so good I'd definitely recommend dining here. I'll be back with my family! read more

Excellent food. Terrible service, unfortunately. A server had put a high gratitude automatically 18%, and, after we told we needed to put different amount, he told it's America, and he couldn't reverse that transaction. Finally, we reversed transaction despite of his statement. He gave us cash. I forgot a purse, he came to our car, went rushing outside (having best intentions, might be?). But he was having such angry face, holding his right hand with the purse behind, like holding a gun. All of my family thought so. Then he gave my purse back and told: " it's God!". No idea what it meant. Because of his angry face and manner taking out his hand, like taking out a gun, I got severe cardiac spasm. Understanding, he might me frustrated working on holiday, but all of us do sometimes, and still have to have a nice face. It's business, and we were excellent grateful customers. read more

I absolutely looooved this place. The hostess Lucy is a sweetheart and our waiter Julio was hilarious. The food was fantastic. We ordered a little (ok a lot) of things to share. Here are a few of the things I can remember ordering but I kind of lost consciousness after eating so much . -Baba Ghannouj (not usually a fan but this was really good) -Tabbouleh (oh so fresh) -Hummus (definitely a must) -Falafel (really good) -Labneh (yuuum) -Lamb grape leaves (could eat a thousand) -Lebanese sausage (seriously delicious) You must order the fried pita bread because everything tastes better fried. We also got the roasted pepper dip that I forgot the name of and it actually deserves a separate mention because it was the highlight for everyone. It is seriously the best one I have ever tried! I will definitely be coming back to Ferdos soon. read more

Ferdos Grill - Not the best picture but I was busy trying everything - Mediterranean Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Sad to leave a bad review. We love this restaurant. Been going there for years. Everything is usually spot on ... service, food, atmosphere, even the belly dancers. But all of that was 100% opposite tonight. We arrived at 7:30 PM. We ordered a bottle of wine which they were out of. The waiter brought us the most expensive wine on the menu as a substitute. It was awful. We ordered another bottle which they were out of and the waiter brought us another more expensive one which was awful. We settled on a less awful wine and didn't finish it. We ordered the mixed dips appetizer ... which the waiter (Julio) forgot to place. We finally got our appetizer at 8:05 PM and it was wrong. Then we didn't get our main entree's until 8:40. The salmon was smelly and the veggie kabobs were a different mix from what we are used to. They close at 9:00 PM and since we were still eating, we were still there. They turned off the music and blamed it on the internet. (BTW: there were no belly dancers even though there are supposed to be on Saturday nights) Then the bill came with an 18% gratuity added in. That has NEVER happened. The waiter said it has always been done. Not true. We will never return and we are sad to see this restaurant go downhill. read more

Let me upfront say I have always loved this restaurant's food and service plus I take the blame for not reading my check BUT the server never said a word! BE AWARE OF TIP ADDED! I have been coming to Ferdos Grill for quite a while but last night was the first time I charged our dinner. I don't mind a tip being included in the price BUT I would like to be told about it. In addition to the $24 CASH tip we left I just noticed today that I was charged a $17.82 tip on my charge card! That came to a total of $41.82 for a little over a 40% tip!!. I was a waiter for 38 years and when I worked at a restaurant where a tip was included I always told the customer. Whether this is a new policy of the new owners or not I feel the server is responsible to tell the customer of the tip being added but then he/she might not get doubled tip! I will NOT be coming back to Ferdos Grill anymore. read more

Writing this review strictly based off of the hummus. It's amazing. I literally just come here to get hummus. I don't know what magical goodness they put inside the hummus, but it's delicious. I've heard the food is pretty good too. Based off the hummus, I bet it is. Everyone is friendly at the restaurant. You can dine in or take out. read more

i was in the mood for something on the healthier side, mediterranean maybe. my friends suggested this place, so we all opted in. i had never been here before, but id soon find out i was in for a treat ! i ordered the shrimp appetizer to start, which went great with the warm pita they send to the table. the shrimp were a healthy size and the sauce full of flavor. for my entree i went with the falafel salad. the salad itself was tasty and fresh, yet proverbial, however, the falafel nuggets they give with the salad were phenomenal ! crunchy on the outside, moist/soft on the inside, and loaded with flavor ! it's a great accompaniment to the salad and gives it life. my friends got the tacos and the meat, which i didn't try, but they complimented their meals and very much enjoyed it. service was a bit on the slower side, but our server was working the whole room alone, so i didn't hold it against him, and it didn't change our great experience. i will 100% be back !!! read more

My buddy was in town this past Saturday so after a day of rock climbing we were starving and went to ferdos. It's been months since I've been there so I was pretty excited to go. We arrived and were seated immediately and probably not even 15min and our appetizers were on the table. A few minutes later and the Main dish was served. The food was phenomenal and the environment was great. They even had a belly dancer there. Highly recommend going here. read more

I have been a customer for over 20 years and always look forward to eating here. Today I met my sister for lunch I ordered the Chicken Tawook Platter. The rice is different but still good. The chicken was way under cooked, and the peppers were raw. They added a sauce to the kabob that was overpowering and covered the taste of the chicken. My sister got a gyro platter that was ok. When the bill came it was $44 dollars. My kabobs were $17 which is the lunch special price but they charged $25 for the gyro which is the dinner price. Sorry to say this is my last meal at Ferdos. read more

Stopped by weekday lunch, sat at middle booth table, nice cosy decor. Ordered chicken kababs comes unsweetened iced tea with pita bread. Food came in 10 minutes, grilled chicken was juicy, hummus, salad and rice were all delicious, server was nice and brought a box to take leftovers. There is no lunch in the weekend and close on Sundays. read more

Love this restaurant and have been patronizing it for many years, and more than one ownership. Love the clean, fresh, healthy and delicious food. I was very disappointed today about the customer service though, a while back a good friend had given me a gift card to this restaurant Because we both love it; I kept waiting for her to be available so we could have lunch together and use the card; ;months went gone by and I finally decided to use it today. When I presented it to the hostess, who has also 'seen' me at the restaurant for several years now; she said she needed to doublecheck because they did not accept old gift cards. She returned to tell me that card was not in their system, although she said it was a Ferdo's gift card from last year. Needless to say, I was somewhat surprised because even if even if she had never seen me before, gift cards are as good as cash, and I never known for them to expire and there is no expiration date on the card. I don't think the card is older than a year at the latest. I would like to ask my friend to demand an explanation from them, but I'm too embarrassed to let her know I hadn't gotten around to use it. Anyhow, I'm looking for a new Middle Eastern restaurant where loyalty is appreciated and recognized read more
