Service
Pros:
"Friendly atmosphere with really good service by all the team."
"All staffs and managers are helpful and they are always willing to give you good advice and explanations about the foods."
"The service for a start is great. They seat you as quickly as possible, the staff are all friendly and polite."
"My first time trying this restaurant and can only sing it's praises, the venue is nicely decorated with plenty of space for each table, the staff are very welcoming and accommodating."
"We were greeted by a very pleasant front of the house. He explained the menu, gave us taster plates and recommended various dishes."
"The staff were friendly and the food arrived quickly - even at the height of the dinner rush."
"Cannot speak highly enough of this amazing restaurant. Ate here with my whole family and Yousef was the best waiter I've ever had - unbelievably friendly, went out of his way to make our first experience here the best!"
"One of the most amazing places, to take your family the best atmosphere if you're lucky enough to meet Yusef honestly the most cheerful & friendly person."
Cons:
"Food was decent but nothing special. Adding a 10% service charge is also a bit cheeky especially when it's not obvious on the menu anywhere that this will be done."
"Wasn't impressed by the 10% service charge added on, wasn't mentioned anywhere or when paying."
"Although confusing when paying as its pay at the front. They do add a 10% service charge automatically."
"Food taste delicious however the service is very poor food came late and staff messed up the order."
"AVOID!!!! £6 starter was a shallow side plate of hummus. Forgotten one of our meals we ordered after 10 minutes of others arriving."
"Food was lovely, can't fault it. Had to wait a good 5 minutes for our bread to accompany our meal and starter of houmous."
"Unfortunately our order was never processed due to tech problems which can obviously happen."
"The food was really nice and arrived very quick however the service from the waitress was poor. She was not attentive at all and not very friendly."

"Had a lunch meal deal, which was good and they have good varieties of veg options and soft drinks."
"We loved our meal at Fattoush Lounge. We lived in the Middle East for 8 years and know our Lebanese cuisine, and this definitely fits the bill!"
"The best Lebanese restaurant - the food is amazing and great size and value for money."
"Food is amazing the staff go over and beyond to serve you, and best service of restaurant had in a long time."
Cons:
"Lamb, was smelling very strong and was hard to chew, also smelled of lemon too strong probably to try to cover smell up."
"Had better before but disappointed this time!! Won't go back."
"The shwarma was quite dry, and the lamb cubes were a bit tough but everything else was lovely."
"Had the lunch menu but chips n salad awful, maybe this food isn't my taste!! but it was nothing special lots of quantity but not quality."
"Wish you would get back to making your own bread or change the supply as it is dry and cardboard like and not very nice."
"Food not great very fatty, poor service! Metro centre staff app says 20% off but they put on a 10% service charge and then only take 10% off??"
"Food was OK rather than amazing. They need to improve their garlic dip!"
"Chips were just frozen ones... should never be like that at a restaurant... I can have them at home."

"Restaurant was empty and after 10 minutes we were finally asked to make an order."
"The place was also not accommodating for children, brought food and I had to ask for fork & knife for my daughter."
