Fares Arabic Cuisine

Love the food and the staff !

They have always been welcoming and extremely accomodative. I like how the taste is always consistent. Food is always fresh and has authentic middle eastern touch to it.

I wish they had fresh kunafeh, I will start visiting twice as much if they introduce it.

Very yummy food. Good service and atmosphere, but not great if you are in a hurry. They take their time with the food, but we found it to be worth the wait. We will be back.

Absolutely amazing…I am originally from the valley but live in Florida now. My husband is Jordanian and I am so incredibly proud of the diversity the valley has to offer. Fares was at the top of our list and they did not disappoint. The lamb was flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. The hummus was divine as was the coffee. Thank you for the impeccable service and hospitality. 🤲❤️

We came when this place originally opened, I want to say about a year before covid, but recently wanted to give it another try, and we were not disappointed.

Overall, it can be a bit pricey, but damn, the food was worth every penny.

We got the Fares platter for two, believe it had probably the best pricing for two people which includes two meats, three cold mezzes, a salad and pita bread, which also includes rice and veggies on the plate.

The flavor of the Shih Tawook (chicken) has a bit of a southern bbq flavor and yet more, which is great as we usually tend to get regular bbq chicken in the area and the differnce in flavoring is spectacular. The Kofta Kebab (beef) has a flavor similar to what we call Albondigas which is a mix of like meatballs, rice, seasonings and other ingredients that I wouldn't know other than to say it was delicious.

The baba ghannouj, hummus, and the muhammara were all fresh and packed with flavor. We almost filled up on them before the actual meal .

By far the side salad that they give you in this meal, called Fattoush, let me say I'm not big on eating salads but it had so much flavor I was basically fighting to get more of it than my wife.

If you're in the area, want to try something other than Mexican or Chinese, give them a try, and it won't disappoint. They even had fresh in house made pistachio cake, which paired amazingly with their special hot tea.

Thank you for the experience and the flavors.

This is me n my wife's favorite Arabic restaurant in the RGV. It's an authentic family owned restraunt with great food, service and ambiance. Love the music they play here even though I can't understand the lyrics lol. It's a vibe. And we dig it. I recommend the platter for two with an arabic tea or housemade lemonade. Baba ganoush and labneh are 🔥 Pita bread is fresh. Only con is it can be a bit pricey for some people but considering the moneys going to a small family owned business I don't mind.

Delicious food ?, and don't forget to get hot Tea and coffee

The food was great! Taste wise it’s a great restaurant. Did not appreciate the arrogant vibes I got from the main chef. He didn’t check on us once to see if our food was good or if we needed anything. We felt unwelcome/questioned after asking for an extra side for our meal. Too expensive to treat people unkindly.
