Fairouz Cafe

My wife and I came here for our anniversary dinner, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was very flavorful, and the presentation was excellent. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. We were happy to see that the beef and chicken are halal, though it’s worth noting the duck isn’t. Parking near the restaurant was a bit of a hassle, but there are a few paid garages nearby if you don’t mind walking a bit. One standout dish for us was the knafeh—it was absolutely delicious and a perfect way to end the meal. The only downside was that the portions felt a bit small for the price, but the quality of the food made up for it. Overall a 4.5 experience

We’ve been several times and always recommend the dip trio and any halloumi dish :) But we recently visited to celebrate our ten year anniversary which sadly wasn’t acknowledged by staff :( would recommend for a nice dinner but not necessarily a celebration

Great food! We ordered the meat platter for the family and it was just the right amount. Lamb, beef, chicken and tons of spreads, salads, and side dishes. 9/10 on the flavour side and genuinely lovely staff.

Nice place , super clean and friendly staff ! The spices overpowered the taste of all the dishes. From the baba ghannouj all the way to the meat platter ( which we found a little overpriced at 100$) for what came on it !

We went to Fairouz Cafe for our anniversary dinner, and it was a great experience. We ordered the beef skewer, and it was cooked to perfection. I was expecting smaller portions due to the fine dining environment, but the food was well-portioned and very filling. The lady serving us was energetic and efficient. I forgot her name, but her service was excellent! I loved that they explained exactly how each dish was made. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this place.

DO NOT ORDER pide - it came out very salty! We brought it to staff and manager's attention (Eric) and they still charged us for it. It is sad because this was my favorite place in Ottawa, it truly ruined our experience and for that reason I will not come back.

Good, but Overrated & overpriced. This was a meal that tried to hard to be fancier than it was. As a group of 8, we ordered “the feast” @ 60$ per person for dinner. There was a variety of food over 3 courses. It was pretty good overall, with some dishes being quite good, others medium. They love adding pomegranate seeds to dress up the look of appetizers, but it’s seems odd & less special when it’s on all 4 appetizers, salad included. Home made bread was really good. meats quite good overall. Deserts, including baklava, were nice. - FYI : 19% gratuity billed as a default — I’d prefer being able to choose the tip based on service and food. - draft cider was $14. Seems high for for was it was, even if it was good. Service was very good overall. I left this meal full but it was hungry 2 hours later… Felt steep paying $100 for meal, cider, tax and tip. If I go back, I would order a meal vs a “feast” or Sharable. That said, in no hurry to return. Or if I do go back, I might just go for a drink and desert.

We were a party of 4. We wanted a good place for a business dinner. It was the perfect accommodation for us. We order many different item to share between the 4 of us. I am fairly new to middle eastern cuisine so it was a discovery. Everything was on point and the waiter explained every dish with passion :) We all enjoyed our experience.
