When I venture into the heart of Philadelphia it's gonna be for the amazing hookah scene, the Fez Hookah Lounge stands as a long standing distinguished oasis blending as a culinary delight, cultural ambiance, and enchanting entertainment. For years I have brought others to enjoy the experience of the 7-course meal at $30 per person , it's left an indelible mark of gastronomic excellence on whomever I have introduced. The generosity of portions in each course is a testament to Fez's commitment to offering a complete and satisfying culinary journey. A word of advice to future patrons: savor the initial courses with moderation, for there are six more awaiting exploration. As the night progresses, Fez undergoes a delightful metamorphosis from a restaurant to a r & b laid back type of captivating hookah lounge. The ambiance becomes infused with music, entertainment, and an Aladdin-like mystery that transports patrons into a realm of exotic allure. The incorporation of a belly dancer adds a touch of traditional grace to the evening and always awes newbies . Having visited Fez since my high school days, the consistent quality of experience has made it a cherished tradition in my family.

I went early on a Friday night. The place was pretty empty which was perfect for a gathering with friends, I'm sure it gets more busy as the night goes on. Ambiance was unique & beautiful. Service was on par and kind. I didnt order any food but the drinks were good. read more

This place is more than I could ever do a review for. It's a landmark and history of home and an experience that I've enjoyed for years!

If u wanna wast money and time, this is ur place, went with friends menu on the internet is old never update it, they only have chicken and rise that cost $30 a plat and taste like dry food so for 3 plats of dry rice and chicken and one drink cost me $141, place is a small room, that look like a cave with no windows, worst experience I ever had, never again I wish they had half start and they don't even deserve it read more

Came here on Sunday to have some food, and just take in the chill vibes. The food was tasty and we ended up not smoking any hookah which after leaving I regret. Fez is great spot for group as it's plenty of seating for large parties and the plates are sharable. I was little shocked because we first walked in they had Punjabi music pumping in the background and then boom all of sudden hip hop/trap music. Loved the switch over! Will definitely come back next time to try the hookah! read more

Fez Moroccon Restaurant - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our annual vacation is in Morocco this year and what better place to order Moroccan food from than Fez On 2& south street in philly. For a party at my house for 21 people we ordered almost everything on the menu. Feasts and couscous and rice and veggies and chicken and lamb and beef. And dessert too. The hummus was very nice and creamy. The chicken was moist and flAvorful. The rice was sweet and savory. The salads of carrots mixed green diced up and eggplant over the top delicious. I'm not that good at explaining tastes, but this food was amazing. First time eating Moroccan food and we were not disappointed. Any left overs and there wasn't much, everyone took home. It was that good. Thank you tony for helping me with this. See you soon for dinner at your place. Lol read more

This kind of sets the standard for what I consider to be an awesome hookah place in a strange new city. We rolled in around 10pm on Sunday, knowing from the Yelp app full-well that they were going to close at 11pm. So we get seated and get right to it - we want the tequila sunrise hookah because that name just sounds awesome. The decoration is legit & authentic. The walls are covered with cloth, the windows are blacked out from the street with the same cloth, there are the cloth hangings coming off the wall, and the lighting is dim to make it seem authentic, something straight out of one thousand and one nights. The tables are round and are organized in a lavish lounge sort of setting. The waiter guy was nice, friendly, and was doing a rockstar job of checking in on us and the coals. Hookah for three people came out to $27. Not exactly cheap, but at least not exorbitant compared to some hookah places across the country I have unfortunately visited. My return visit scheduled and on the books has already incorporated this place into the itinerary. I look forward to trying the food. And getting some more time with the hookah before the music gets turned off which is a clear indication we need to GTFO at 11:00 exactly - would have appreciated a little more gentle approach and a few extra minutes to hang out, but hey, I bet real important shit was about to go down you had to attend to rather than letting us hang out for a few extra minutes. read more

Used to frequent this place several years ago. Was simply phenomenal. Now absolutely horrible. Ambiance is toxic. Great food from years passed is no more. Essentially a shadow of its former glory. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

On weekends, they have basically two options: 8-course meat sampling or 8-course vegetarian sampling for $25 a person. We tried the meat one, and had lamb and chicken. The courses: soup, bread/dip spread, chicken pie with powdered sugar, chicken, lamb, cous cous, fruit, and baklava. Out of the entire course, I enjoyed only the chicken, although it was a roasted kind which most of us could make ourselves in a crock pot. The fruit had bananas, oranges, and apples. I was told the apples were "soft" and the bananas looked green, so the oranges were the only ripe option. So, I enjoyed the chicken and orange. The ambiance was different, it felt like we were in a canopy tent. Every so often the belly dancer would come out. She was a good dancer, so it entertaining if you like that sort of thing. I think the guys in our group enjoyed it. Has hookah, so many groups came in towards the later hours to do that. But during dinner, it felt like we were the only group actually dining. I thought the food was not good, and overpriced to boot. I will not be coming back. read more

Great restaurant I've been coming here for 15 years and totally worth it. Service , food and hookah has always and will be top notch

This place is pretty sub-standard. I'm not even any kind of Moroccan food expert but I assure you the dishes here are OK and a bit overpriced for what you get, which is an OK ethnic dish. A bit better than buying the meager $13-15 entrees is the 8-course meal for $25/person. You get a few series of dishes, it's honestly not as filling as it sounds. It's filling enough, IMO. The service could be better, but that might be because on most weekday evenings they have but only one psuedo-attentive server working. Sidenote: he often likes to add in gratuity without any rhyme or reason? Also, when there's only 2 or 3 groups in the place, there really shouldn't be any wait for getting water refilled and the like. So, even though there is but only one server, even on slow nights it kind of borders on inexcusable. If you're looking for a hookah bar or Moroccan cuisine, there's probably better showings of either/both somewhere else. read more

Fez Moroccon Restaurant - New signage for a total of 3 forming one mismatched eyesore. - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ok you can eat with your hands and watch belly dancers all in a restaurant whose windows are covered from onlookers outside. Very cool! From the outside you'd probably be weary of entering, as was I. The inside is covered (walls and ceiling) with colorful Moroccan fabrics and from the ceiling (aka: draped fabric) hangs a few Moroccan lanterns. The tables (circular cushioned benches around a small circular table) are low and line the walls. Before eating you everyone at the table puts there hands in the center over a basin and the water pours warm water of them. This is preparation for dinner because you are eating with your hands. For those who'd rather not but were still dragged here (or scared 1st dates) , they will also give you utensils. (Boo!) I was weary of the food as well, but I loved it all (I have to admit I wasn't sure what exactly we were ordering at some part). You can get a dinner of eight courses for $25 a person. Get this. Don't question what you are eating. One of the courses is beef with powdered sugar on it (I'm pretty sure) and it is amazing. Actually, all the courses taste pretty sweet. Oh yea: you can also smoke a hookah (it is encouraged) while you are enjoying your belly dancing. HINT: After dinner DO NOT think you are funny by asking your hot date to "smell my finger." read more

Fez Moroccon Restaurant - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chill spot for groups and individuals if you're looking for mixed music, hookah, drinks, & Moroccan food. I love their chicken and couscous vegetables style. It has just about enough season so it's not under properly seasoned. The chicken is very tender, comes apart with a fork or spoon. My only thing is that it's a bit more expensive for a relaxing spot. I love the music because they play a lil bit of everything. It was a Monday and I thought it would be empty but it wasn't!lol there was no charge fee at the door. No need for heels or whatnot. Just put on deodorant lmao. Anyways, if you're in the mood to chill smoke hookah and drink, that's one of the places to hit up. Also, the inside is like a Arabian tent, that's the closest I can put i read more

Fez Moroccon Restaurant - a plate of food on a tray - Moroccan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I will give this place a 2-star for the intimate decor inside which feels very authentic. I went on a Sunday evening. We requested to sit on this table where the lantern is right on top. The waiter/host says that place is for party of 12. This place was empty and there were so many areas where group seating could be used. So we were denied to sit in a table of our choice. This is not the way you make customer feel welcome and bring business. Second, we ordered the fez half chicken which is basically a baked chicken with gravy. (Almost curry style). There was no rice or bread served with the chicken?? How do you serve a chicken with no rice or any sides? The taste was not even good. I really don't know who is rating the food here as 5-star. I'm sure it's people that never even ate good Moroccan food. I'm from NYC and this is by far the worst Moroccan cuisine I've ate. The service is dull, the waiter has no guest service etiquette and he tried to rip us off by charging us for double. No, it' was NOT a mistake. We did not try the Hookah, but the food is terrible. This spot may just good for hookah which are over priced as hell lol. $25-35 plus they charge u tips and max ppl per hookah policy. read more

My husband and I had such a fun time here!! We started at around 7:30pm and it was not terribly busy (which we honestly prefer) but it filled up as the night went on. We happily spend a while here because the ambiance was so relaxing. We cuddled on the couch and took our time smoking the fuzzy navel hookah, which was $25. (They also have "fresh fruit" hookah for $35). The hookah seemed to last forever and I don't think we even finished it. We also ate chicken Bastilla which was yummmyyyy but the meat was a little too dry. Overall it was such an awesome place to relax, unwind, and get comfy. I will definitely return to try some of their other menu items! I'll bring more people next time so that the hookah doesn't go to waste lol! read more

I was in town for the night thought I would give this place a shot. Hookah was great had mint and grape, ordered tea as well. Service was okay the person who took my order never checked on my not once, I was surprised when I got the check and they added 21% gratuity ! I would've tipped anyways however you should not add 21% for below average service. I gave 3 stars based on the hookah and the atmosphere. read more

I called the restaurant for the availability. The guy told me there's table that it's available and he never mentioned anything about cover charge. When I got there after 30 min of drive they asked me for cover charge. I wish if they can inform the customers with more transparency information. That will be very helpful. Instead of wasting other people time. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Horrible experience one of the security guards literally harassed & threatened us claiming we were drunk & we couldn't even wait for our uber inside. I was with another woman & this was a large gentleman who immediately made us feel threatened! He spoke to us extremely disrespectfully & we have recorded it all for documentation purposes. He kept threatening to get law enforcement involved & to get us arrested we literally were sitting on a bench waiting to get into an uber. I stood my ground because I wasn't doing anything wrong & he later walked away but I felt extremely threatened & afraid at the time. The owners watched as this happened & didn't intervene but told us we could wait there read more

Came down from Jersey after seeing the Dan Band perform, which was phenomenal! We got the urge to order a hookah with a liquor option. Walked over to Fez.. no one attended us at first so we sat down at the couch area. The place was dead for 10pm Friday. The attendant came and said let me seat you someplace else. I asked to keep the seat I was already at. He said we couldn't, so I told him to speak to whomever to get the approval. The guy came out and ask what's the problem. I said hey boss, your place is dead and we'd like to sit at the large couch area. He said they can't because that's for parties of 8. I said I understand, but there was no one in your store and if that big party ever came, we would move. Their answer: no we can't. I said no problem, packed my things and was ready to walk out. The guy asked are you really leaving? I said bro, no one is here. The place is dead. What do I have to do? Order a bottle? He said no again.. so.. went to a better spot! Saqqara Hookah bear broad across from City Diner! So much better staff! No young deutche bags trying to show how much more testosterone they have. Saqqara had great fast hookah service, really really great food and best part, was their service. They actually made the effort to cater to their guest. Fez.. you are the old 2017. Do better 2018! Saqqara, keep up the great work! You'll squash the competition in no time! read more

I started coming here a little over a year ago after trying a few hookah bars in the city. We would come once every 2 months or so for drinks, appetizers, and hookah. It was truly the best in terms of flavor, smoke, and good food. Our last two visits have been very disappointing. The staff has been less attentive to coals and drinks and the hookah has gone downhill. Our last hookah was almost flavorless and the couple we were with had issues with lack of smoke due to coals that were not hot enough. They no longer offer their "a la carte" menu on the weekends, leaving you with the only option of the Moroccan feast. I don't always want a multi course meal with my hookah. On one occasion we were seated next to the door, which is very uncomfortable and cold in the winter. I also prefer to leave here before midnight, when the atmosphere and crowd changes. Before midnight, Moroccan music plays softly in the background and gets louder when the dancers come in. However, after midnight, they play very loud hip hop music that is more appropriate for a club. They now include a 15% gratuity for hookah. read more

I went to Fez with my family and we were pretty excited to eat some good Moroccon food! However, it was a horrible experience. 1) food was below average. 2) overpriced for very small portions 3) slow service 4) I was surprised for the price they didn't even serve free pita/ appetizer or Moroccan tea/coffee The only good thing was the ambience and that's it! Wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't go back! read more

This is my favorite Moroccan spot in Philadelphia. It's clean and very nice. Sometimes parking can be difficult but never too bad. The staff is friend and man men. Not man speak complete English but they can understand you. This place is excellent for groups and just couples. My recent visit was with my boyfriend. We had the Fez feast. It's $30 pp and comes with a few dishes which is fulfilling but I would've love to have more chicken and a half chicken could feed one person especially if both don't eat all meats served. We had the lemon chicken and I was so delicious, full of flavor. The lamb was tender and good. I enjoyed this other dish which had chicken and scrambled eggs inside a warm dough with sugar. The mint tea is good and was included. This is a good spot to relax mingle and smoke hookah. I would recommend to anyone who wants to try something different. Since I've been to Morocco I would say this is very authentic!! Go, have fun and enjoy yourself!! No drama just a good time!! Food is goo! Excellent service. read more

I used to be a frequent patron of this business up until this weekend. I strongly believe I was a victim of discrimination and received extremely poor service at this hookah bar. Our "server" purposely ignored us and when we asked for things he would look over at us and walk by. He did this 6 times before he half ass attempted to finally fulfill our request but by then another server did it for us. I also would not recommend this place because I know they serve alcohol to minors. I know several people who have been to this place and have been served with no questions asked. On top of all of that, they pack the place and force you to squeeze next to another party. I was literally sitting on top of my friend and a random woman!!!! So unprofessional. Will never go back to this dump again. 0 STARS!!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! From the ambience and the decor, to the AMAZING food...I would come back time and time again! The owner is super accommodating and the staff exemplifies some of the best customer service I've ever experienced! From beginning to end, it was clear that the owner and staff here want each patron to have a nice time! This place is truly a gem! Make sure you try the half chicken and rice, you will not be let down! read more

Let me preface this by saying that it is very seldom that I give a place I've been to "one star", but after going to this place, I wish they had the option on Yelp of identifying your experience by a "black star" because this place should have a big fat one above their restaurant sign. Firstly, the service was POOR. I was in a party of five and I realize that the server was the only waiter for similar sized tables but this guy was extremely aloof and appeared like he just smoked a field of marijuanna when he greeted us. Tell me if I'm wrong, but when more than one person settles at a sit-down restaurant, shoudn't we all have a menu? He obviously thought that it was a luxury to have as he placed one food and drink menu on the table and expected us to pass it around- prolonging the time we could have ordered- it was hard enough to read with such dim light that had absolutely no effect on the ambiance. He didn't bring out silverware too which he also might of thought was an indulgence to have. What a nut job this guy was! Needless to say he also forgot about bringing out one of our orders, which was another blow to our dining experience. But it was nothing compared to the quantity and quality of the food. Perhaps it was what we got- but the food was mediocre, nothing to brag about, and was not justified in the amount of money you pay for it. To put it in perspective, my lamb kabob dish was about 3 oz of unseasoned rice with an equal amount of lamb parsels that were tasteless. They served it on an appetizer plate. Go figure. The server at the end topped off the night with charging us 46% gratuity, which was an obvious error in his calculation. I expect that from a pothead, but the chefs know better! If you're looking for an delicious place to eat, a place that signifies the beautiful arab culture with their art, food, and service... THIS IS NOT THE PLACE... especially if you're a novice at this type of cuisine- steer clear- this is NOT authentic. Trust me- there are better restaurants in the city if you're looking for genuine middle eastern food- and Fez does not qualify as one of them. read more

The novelty of a dark, smoky Moroccan den is tainted by the sub-par food and terrible service. Been here twice and twice was enough to get my fill. Pass through the painted and cracked glass doors to enter a dark, vaguely musty room draped in velvet tapestries, thick dingy curtains and bordered by plush, half-moon couches and low metal tables. An 8-course menu, at $25 per person, is a fairly traditional offering, though lacking in any sort of distinguished flavor. You can order a hookah here (also $25) in a dozen fruity flavors; possibly the biggest draw. It's relaxing to sink back into the cushions, inhale deeply and pretend you're the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. Whoooo are youu? It appears servers are hard to come by during dinner service, as are any drinks from the bar. Savor the first glass of water they bring, as it may be your only. Sure, you'll enjoy the novelty of washing your hands in rosewater tableside and later eating with flat breads, sans utensils. A bellydancer may briefly sashay through the aisles on Saturday night and underage diners may be slipped a glass of wine. That could entice you, sure. And true, your meal will feature uncommon dishes by American standards, like lamb with honey or chicken wrapped in sweet, powdered pastry -- but in the end the food is lacking real spice, flavor and memorable taste. It's average, and just so. You'll do better at Marrakesh in all senses. read more

So went to this restaurant last night with a group of friends. It was a Sat night and every restaurant in the city is crowded but that is the whole point of making a reservation. We were kept waiting for almost 1/2 hr in spite of a resv. The service was terrible. We were in a group of 6+ people therefore the waiter didn't feel like putting his best effort. We literally took turns to get up and go look for the waiter because we got tired of waiting for our food/drinks/hookah/belly dancer. We were sitting in a back room which one would consider nice to have some privacy but we felt more ignored than special. Their cocktails were WEAK and $$$. This was my first experience for Moroccan food but from the reviews I have heard from my friends it is not supposed to be this bland. It majorly lacked taste. The bread that was served was not thawed well..it was frozen at the center. Pros - hookah, belly dancer Cons - inattentive service, expensive, food was to bland. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.. read more

Terrible experience. Went there with an Eversave which I purchased under the allure of trying a new cuisine. This place really should just be advertised as a hookah bar that happens to have food rather than a restaurant. The atmosphere was great but the food was terrible and horrendously priced at that! The service was even worse. My date and I were the only ones in the place during our time there and yet the wait was intolerable. Moreover, the waiter never refilled our waters. We had to ask for more water if we wanted any. It is a pretty basic courtesy for waiters to at least be capable of refilling water and asking how everything is, but not here. I would give it 0 stars for the next atrocity. Forced 18% gratuity on the bill even though we were only a party of two! This is a reprehensible policy as the service was absolutely crap. Worse, I went over the bill and they actually did 25% gratuity but they refused to change it. Terrible place. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! read more

I'll start off by saying I haven't been to Fez in about six years. A few friends hipped me to the place in high school. For the next seven years, I was a regular patron. The interior of the place makes manages to transform the hustle and bustle of the South Street area into a spacious, Moroccan tent with its plush cushions, hanging brass lanterns and hewn circular tables. They used to come out and was your hands. A large brass basin was placed in the center of the table. Those eating would then place their hands over the basin as the waiter poured warm an astringent consisting of rose water over them. Towels were distributed to dry off your hands, which were to be you actual eating utensils. The only exception to this is if you had soup. In this case, they would furnish you with a wooden spoon. Belly dancers would proffer their shows on weekend nights at well spaced intervals. Service there was great, even on busy nights. Even if the food and/or service has slipped a bit, it is still worth checking out at least once for the experience, which, at the time, was the only place at which you could have it. read more

Hey Yelpers, I went to Fez with my girls to celebrate a b-day last weekend and we had a blast! I mean, it was a new experience for all but one of us (group of 6) and we were not disappointed. We got the Fez Feast (which, by the way, is the ONLY thing you can order on the weekends) and got accustomed to using our hands to eat pretty quickly. We enjoyed everything except for the veggie couscous..even my two vegetarian friends didn't care for it. The chicken was awesome and I really enjoyed the beef kabobs. We went thru two bottles of wine like water and we ended the night with a Fuzzy Navel flavored hookah. Now, none of us smoke but all agreed that it was a great experience. Is going to Fez something I would do on a regular? No. But for a great nite out with my girls..Absolutely! We thought the service was on point..the server was attentive and took the time to explain everything...and the bellydancer became our new homegirl...She'll probably be hangin' with us at the next girls' nite out! Cool chick with great moves!! I think I'll take bellydancin classes now....My husband would concur, lol. read more

I went here for my birthday a year or so ago. Definitely an experience to remember although the waitstaff seemed to ignore us for another table of "regulars." We did the 8 course prix fixe meal which gave you a chance to try a little of everything. You have to eat everything with yourhands so I recommend you go with close friends! Overall the food was good but I don't know if I would return for a second visit. read more

A little hole on the wall but full of character once inside. Delicious food and great atmosphere.

At first, Fez feels shady. The whole place is draped in fabrics, there aren't a lot of windows, it's very dark and smokey, and there are even some people at the back laying all over each other. That aside, the place is sort of fun and the service is very nice. We went to Fez because of the HORRENDOUS service we got at Byblos. My friend was on a hookah mission so we drove across the city to come here. I'd probably say this place isn't my usual scene but was an interesting change of pace. The belly dancer was really cool (I'll echo a previous review that mentions it does feel a bit weird to tip the dancer as if she's a stripper, but you should definitely tip her. It's very authentic and cool). We had a white peach hookah, I a glass of pinot noir, and my friend had a cup of moroccan mint tea. The tea was very sweet and she got it unsweetened for the next cup. We didn't eat here so I can't comment on that. Overall good experience. read more

Fez is a nice place to go to once for the novelty, but the food is not so great. As others have described, the tent-like decor, cushiony seating, traditional music, and ritual handwashing make for a fun and unusual atmosphere, and the belly dancing is terrific. The food just isn't up to the same standard, especially if you get the vegetarian stuff. We ate there on a recent Friday. On weekends you have to get the $25 per person "Fez Feast," which is fun to order. Try telling a waiter "I'll have the feast, please" without grinning. In deference to gender stereotypes (not to mention our dietary preferences), I ordered the vegetarian feast and my boyfriend got the one with animals in it. Despite its warm and cozy appearance, the restaurant was very cold, so we ordered the Burgundy wine to try to warm up; the wine was excellent, but we were still chilly throughout the meal. Instead of napkins we were given big fluffy hand towels, which was a little disconcerting. When you're eating without utensils you need a whole lotta napkin, but white terrycloth is a peculiar choice. My boyfriend felt like he was eating a big messy piece of chicken in a spa, while I had flashbacks to covert cookie-smuggling missions in the bathroom with my little sister (you had to catch all the crumbs in the bathmat so my mom wouldn't see them). Miscellaneous notes that don't fit anywhere in particular: The vegetarian meal is not a good value at all. They must make a killing on it (so to speak). Pita and hummus are not equivalent to chicken. The bread is disguised as something exotic and triangular, but it tastes like supermarket hot dog buns. The service was attentive, although the waiter seemed incredulous each time we were ready for the next course without having eaten all the food on our plates. We were saving room! Seven is a lot of courses! If you like to smoke hookah, then this might be a nice place to go to regularly to smoke and drink and watch the dancer. Just don't go for the food. read more

Decent hookah, decent atmosphere, shady location, crappy service, and felt dirty. I came here when I first moved to Philadelphia 4 years ago thinking it was the best place in Philly, but there are many many better places in town with much better/smoother hookah. The location makes it a popular place to be on a Friday night (because it's right next to Penn's Landing on South St.), but if you're looking for good hooks, try University City instead. After trying the other places, definitely would not come back here. read more

Probably the worst restaurant that I've been in Center City. First the service was horrendous, it took them forever to change the plate and sometimes we have to tell them to change the plates. The food was really poorly made and extremely simply prepared. The belly dancer was not so good and people were putting money in the skirt as if she was a stripper. The decoration of the restaurant is trying to be a tent environment, but it just looks dirty with all the dust accumulated in the fabrics on the walls. Other than that, there is nothing much more to say but an awful restaurant. I do not usually give bad reviews but this place is just one of a kind. read more

Interesting interior with drapery all around. NOT EVEN a crack of window. I am a hookah & belly dancer EXPERT. Trust me when I say this. This place knows neither. Hookah - uses cheap coals that burns out too quickly, too tightly packed shisha that doesn't pull any smoke, small head basin (i'm used to grape or orange base) Maybe I'm just too used to NY quality vs. Philly? Just saying. read more

Not the best, not the worst. I am not terribly adventurous with my food generally, but I found most everything to be pretty tasty. One big disappointment was the lamb dish we got. I spent time in Australia and had the chance to eat A LOT of lamb, but I also ate a lot of baaaaaaad lamb too - the quality meat here at fez was sub-par. I went with 3 of my friends, when we got into the restaurant we were one of two parties in the whole place. When the belly dancer came around it was awkward - I think I would have enjoyed my dinner more without the entertainment or if there were more people there - I donno. All in all I'd say give it a try for something new but don't expect too much. oh and PS: I don't smoke my my friends got the rose flavored hookah and still can't shut up about how great it was. read more

The interior is nice, the food is okay and the price is a rip-off.

Apparently The hookah cost $25, i got a coffee for $4 and they added their gratuity!!!!! The quality of service wasnt perfect, The food not the top standards and the hookah, mine is defiantly much better. Two Yelps! read more
