Sindibad Mediterranean restaurant — Restaurant in Fort Worth

A true hidden gem!

We came in with our blended family of Americans and Syrians, and this place blew us away. It’s a small, simple spot with minimal decor, but don’t let that fool you—the food is incredible. They’ve only been open for two months, but they’re already serving some of the best, most authentic Syrian food in the DFW area.

We ordered a lot of dishes, and every single one was a hit with both sides of the family. The shawarma was just like it’s served back home in Syria, and the mixed grill was packed with flavor. Highly recommend the shish tawook—it was so tender it melted in our mouths.

Even our picky toddler was impressed—she devoured the chicken tenders, which were made from scratch and absolutely delicious. That alone earns major points in our book!

If you’re craving real, home-style Syrian food, this place is a must. We’re already planning to come back....

It's a simple, but adequate Mediterranean grill owned by a nice family from Syria. A mother, daughter and son run the operation. My Gyro platter was excellent, as was my wife's Tawook platter. My wife's lentil soup was rather thin, though my small Greek salad was excellent. The bathroom is not easily accessible to patrons. Just ask the person at the front counter and they will let you in to the back area where the shared restroom is. The atmosphere itself is pretty sparse, with simple tables and chairs set up, not much in the way of decorations. The place actually got pretty busy while we were there so it appears others appreciate the food as well. Yes...

I regret having to write this one-star review, but I feel compelled to share my experience. The rice that came with the chicken shawarma plate smelled spoiled—it was unmistakable, as someone who grew up eating rice and can easily recognize when it’s off. Unfortunately, the lamb gyro upset my wife’s stomach, and she couldn’t finish it. While the chicken shawarma itself tasted good, and the lady at the counter was very kind, the overall experience was disappointing. We also couldn’t bring ourselves to try the Greek salad that came with our order. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but sadly, it didn’t meet...
