Fattoosh Lebanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Sydney

What a disaster.

I arrived and was seated down at my table asked if I wanted table water or sparkling. I proceeded to sit there for another 15 to 20 minutes while I waited for my friend to arrive but no one came to ask if I wanted to order a drink even though there was only one other group in the restaurant.

I eventually waived someone down and ordered my wine. I then went to the bathroom and when I went to exit, I couldn’t open the door. I tried calling the restaurant but no one answered. I texted my friend and waited for her to arrive so that she could notify staff to come and let me out. The owner said that I needed to push the door a certain way when I was locking it. That’s absurd. Replace the lock on the door so that anyone can use it seeing as it’s the only bathroom you have.

You can’t order the mixed grill on Fridays and Saturday nights, now I’m not sure entirely why, because you can order all components of this dish separately for a much higher price..

Service was absolutely shocking. I I had to wave at a waiter each time I wanted to order a drink and when we wanted to order our food. They never came over and asked if we wanted another drink.

The food was pretty abysmal as well. I would expect to get traditional flatbread that’s freshly cooked instead of store bought Lebanese bread cut into quarters served in a plastic bag. The chicken dish that I’d ordered was pretty boring, it came with some aioli and a cold tomato (see photos).

It’s not a young kid friendly place seeing as though there’s nowhere to change a babies nappy in the bathroom.

There was a long black hair in my Lady fingers entree. Yuck!

We ordered all of our dishes at once and waited 35 mins between entrees and mains.

My friends lamb looked like the best meal of the night.

Would not come back here...

I love Lebanese food but had a disappointing experience with Fattoush. service: 4/10. Every guest was packed in one of the rooms while the other one was literally empty. We asked to be moved to the empty room and they moved us but the girls serving us had little idea about customer service despite trying to be nice. Also 3 dishes were served on time and one was served literally when everyone else had finished. main food: 4/10. Grilled lamb on skewers was the only delicious food but next to no salad in the dish. Chicken was too dry, tasteless and covered with too much sauce, unlike the photo which shows the sauce on the side. Slow cooked lamb was as tasteless as hospital food. desert 9/10. Rice pudding with a touch of rose water and pistachios was very nice. It saved the night for my son. Atmosphere: 4/10. Nothing special. Just a small upgrade from the the Turkish kebab place across the road. Any other Lebanese restaurant I have been to in Sydney have been better, and...

My mum and I have been missing our lebanese food and tonight fattoush satisfied every craving!! This was the best and most authentic tasting lebanese food we have had in a very long time, and most definitely tops competitors in the area. Most definitely recommend coming here, the value for the quality is amazing and it’s BYO!!!!!!! We had chicken shish tawouk, lamb shawarma, tabouli, homous and finished with knafeh (must ask for this on fridays and saturdays only) and lebanese coffee! We couldn’t even finish it all and will enjoy the leftovers tomorrow. They also have banquets for a very reasonable price and minimum only 2 people which we definitely will be coming back to have. The service was very good despite it being full and we had no complaints at all! receiving all of our food within half an hour. Also if you are lucky enough to speak to the owner like we were, you will love the place even more....
