We flew in to Heathrow, got to our hotel (Hilton Metropole) after midnight and then went out looking for dinner at 1am. We were drawn to Fatoush, which had a sizeable crowd and had no problem accommodating nine of us (5 adults and 4 kids). Even though it was 1am and the restaurant closed at 2am, they made us feel welcome and did not rush us. We ordered a variety of kebabs, lamb shawarma, chicken shawarma and Lebanese lamb biryani. The food was amazing, freshly made and delicious. They gave us free pita, dips (spicy garlic and a spicy dip) and pickles and after dinner, baklava and coconut cake. They were extremely gracious and made us feel like family. A really wonderful experience and we will be back to try the other delicious items on the menu.

My co-workers and I came here for our last meal in London. It was a small shop but the food looked good. I got the lamb shwarma and a bottle of water. The food came pretty quickly, ~10-minutes. The food was pretty good. Good pita, lamb was nicely cooked and plentiful. Salad was tasty. Price was also pretty good for what we got. Overall good and quick meal.

Tried this place during a recent trip to London. It was walking distance to my hotel so it was really convenient. After a long day of seeing sights, it was nice to settle down and eat a meal close to homecooking. Tried the chicken, vegetables, and rice. The portions were huge (can be shared between two people) and tasted really good. I haven't had access to Lebanese food near my home town so this really hit the spot.

It's on Edgware Road and it rhymes with Maroush, the ubiquitous Middle Eastern chain. So it must be a Middle Eastern restaurant.

I popped in here to get a takeaway freshly squeezed melon drink. I love this stuff - if they bottled and sold it in the supermarkets, they would clean up. Sweet and refreshing, it's just what you need on a warm summer's day.

I didn't eat, having just had dinner but the shwarmas rotating on the spits looked and smelt very appetising.

With the many other lebanese restaurants on Edgeware Road, Fatoush has a lot to live up to, and it definitely does that. 
The restaurant is decorated colourfully, with seating by the front of the restaurant, or seating in the more secluded area towards the back. They also have outside seating, where you can enjoy your meal as well as smoke a sheesha.
The staff are very friendly, and made an effort to make sure that the meal went well and that we were pleased with our food. They recommended their specials, and they were as good as they said. 
At the end of the meal, they also provide a complimentary small plate of sweet lebanese pastries. 
The prices seemed a bit high compared to some of the places on Edgeware Road, but for one of the more up-market places, it wasn't too bad, with the main courses going for on average £12 each. 
Would definitely not mind going back there again.

My parents and I wandered in here after a long international flight in July 2012...sometime around 1am. When we walked up they said they were closed for Ramadan. We asked if anyone else might be open and they said everything nearby was also closed so, they graciously allowed us to sit down at a table and said they could serve us at 2am if we were willing to hang out. We did wait and the waiter (owner?) returned to our table just after 2am with delicious hommos beiruty, moutabal, and tabbouleh.

Service was slow and disinterested. Food was pretty good. Fresh. Might come here again if in the area, but wouldnt necessarily recommend.

The chef is so nice and makes a delicious shawarma.  Walked me thru the flavors and made sure we loved every bite.

the Mediterranean cuisine has always fascinated me, with its full, rich taste, and colours, not to mention mouth watering dishes! I went with some friends to celebrate an anniversary, and we had the most enjoyable evening there! The food was absolutely superb! the waiter was a professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and with a smile.He knew what to recommend and was very attentive to our requests when it came to diet restriction or certain ingredients.The atmosphere was amazing, it was as if we were transferred in time and place to and exotic place, with wonderful smells and enticing choice of foodI recommend Fatoush restaurant to anyone who wants to explore the Lebanese cuisine, perfect!

I have been coming here for as long as i can remember. I discovered on one of my outings to west london and just couldnt get enough. The food is authentic and the service is immaculate. I always order something different and they have never disappointed me. For starters you have to try kibbeh shamiya, the diff pastry fillings they have and also the hummus n tabuleh..
For main its whatever you prefer.. in a group we tend to order a variety of mains n just share this way u get try a bit of everything and u r guarantee to find that one particular main which tickles your taste bud. The stuffed chicken is succulent and juicy with enough flavour.. the chefs special first page of the menu are all diving however the bamiyah(okra) with pulled lamb is a must buy. You may not be an okra fan like me but I have to say it was truly a delicious main. They do the traditional grills which is very filling n flavoursome. We went as a party of four for a birthday and went crazy with the food ordering, we ordered 5/6 startes 4 mains, extra sides and drinks.. the bill was 25ppn which in my opinion was totally worth it.. oo portion size is perfect they give more than enough and dont be suprised if u have leftover to take home.. 
Hopefully u all have the same great exp I have had numerous of times.
