Les convives peuvent s'attendre à un shawarma de poulet succulent, des brochettes de shish taouk parfaitement assaisonnées et du kofta tendre, le tout préparé avec des épices et des techniques traditionnelles. L'établissement propose une atmosphère vibrante où les arômes d'herbes fraîches et de délices grillés emplissent l'air. Chaque plat témoigne du riche héritage culinaire du Liban, offrant un véritable goût de la cuisine familiale. C'est la destination idéale pour ceux qui recherchent des saveurs audacieuses et satisfaisantes ancrées dans des recettes classiques du Moyen-Orient.
Farooj Abo Alabed est largement reconnu pour son exceptionnel poulet grillé au charbon de bois et ses saveurs libanaises authentiques, de nombreux clients décrivant la nourriture comme étant juteuse, fraîche et délicieuse. Les sandwichs au poulet signature et la savoureuse sauce à l'ail sont fréquemment encensés, étant souvent comparés favorablement aux plats traditionnels dégustés au Liban. Bien que l'atmosphère soit décrite comme joliment décorée et accueillante, le restaurant est constamment très fréquenté, ce qui peut entraîner des temps d'attente importants durant les heures de pointe. Si certains visiteurs estiment que le service et la taille des portions pourraient être plus constants, beaucoup d'autres apprécient le travail acharné du personnel et considèrent que la grande qualité des repas justifie largement la visite.
The sandwiches are consistently good every time I go there. Ordered 17 different sandwiches on Saturday for a group gathering & the service was excellent. They made sure every sandwich was in the bag & I waited no more than 20 minutes for such a big order. Thanks to Mohammed, Bilal & the rest of the team 👍🏻
I understand a lot of people leave negative reviews about the place, & i hesitated so much before coming because of that, but decided to take a leap of faith & try it
🌟 SERVICE: I was definitely satisfied at the end, the staff are amazing, very friendly & patient despite how busy they are, I spoke with the management (Muhammad) about why they have so many negative reviews, & it seems like people are not accepting the long wait despite how busy & crowded it gets, he took the time to discuss it with me & address my concern, excellent customer service, some people are just not reasonable when it comes to accepting the wait time at such a busy restaurant
🌟 Food: the food was very good, the sandwiches are tasty, fries are nice & crispy, but the highlight was their Sumac garlic sauce with the fries 😍
We wait 15 min for the order, it was just sandwiches! The prices are expensive comparing to others restaurants, even we order one tabouleh, it was not good at all they just give us a small container for sauce & it was for 10$ for nothing !
Very disappointed with my experience. Around 10 p.m., I ordered 2 sandwiches & 1 combo. I specifically repeated my order to the employee & even confirmed the total because it came to around $60, which already seemed high.
On my way home, I looked at the receipt & realized I had been charged for 3 combos instead of what I actually ordered. I only received & wanted one drink, yet I was charged for three combo meals.
This was my first time trying this place, & unfortunately, it will also be my last. Poor service & careless order taking. Make sure to double-check your order & receipt before leaving, or you may end up paying for items you never asked for.
I've visited this place several times since they opened & unfortunately the wait times to get your order are simply ridiculous.
Let me start with the positive: the sandwiches are spectacular. They're the only reason I kept coming back & giving this place multiple chances. However, great food can only make up for poor service for so long. If the service doesn't improve, definitely i will won't be returning.
My first visit was during a busy period, so I was willing to be understanding. However, it still took nearly 50 min to receive 4 chicken sandwiches.
On my second visit, the restaurant was only moderately busy, yet it took 45 min to get two sandwiches.
For my third visit, I called ahead for pickup *25 minutes before arriving* but I still had to wait an additional 10 min on the store for 3 chicken sandwiches.
The fourth visit was my last. I placed a pickup order **30 minutes in advance** for three sandwiches & once again, had to wait another 10 min after arriving.
After several visits, it became clear that the problem isn't the food-it's the organization. Watching the staff work, everything seemed chaotic & poorly coordinated. These aren't overly complex sandwiches to prepare, especially when the chicken is already done & ready to be assembled in the pita & finished on the charcoal grill.
This kind of delay will eventually drive customers elsewhere, am one them. There are plenty of similar restaurants nearby, including long-established places like this place, where customers can get quality food without spending nearly an hour waiting for a few sandwiches.
I genuinely wish this new business success because the food is excellent but at the end of the day, you got to experience the whole thing & it's simply not worth spending 45-60 minutes waiting for 3-4 sandwiches. Great food brings customers in, but efficient service is what keeps them coming back.
Outstanding sandwiches, but extremely slow & disorganized service makes the overall experience frustrating.
The sandwiches are overpriced & seem to have more sauce than actual filling. There was barely any chicken, & that's basically all you taste. A better balance between sauce & ingredients would make a big difference, along with more generous & evenly distributed filling.
We paid $55.99 for the promotion, which included 4 sandwiches, 4 cans of soda, & only 2 small orders of fries. For that price, the portion size is disappointing, & the promotion doesn't even make sense. Marketing-wise, it feels like the focus is on upselling rather than offering real value. A clearer promotion design with more balanced sides would make the offer feel much fairer. Why include 4 sandwiches & 4 drinks but only 2 small fries?
We also ordered the fries sandwich, but once again it was mostly bread & sauce, with barely any fries inside. Improving the ingredient distribution would help a lot, since the sandwich should actually reflect what it promises.
Overall, I think this place is overhyped. I was really looking forward to trying it, but I left very disappointed with my experience. With better portion balance, clearer promotions, & more consistent ingredient distribution, it could be much better.
