I had a very disappointing experience here. After eating at this restaurant, I ended up with food poisoning. The kitchen appeared extremely dirty, which was very concerning. The prices were also high for the quality and portion sizes provided. When I contacted the owner, my concerns were denied despite the evidence I have. I cannot recommend this place and hope others stay cautious.

Best Moroccan food I’ve had in the US. Ranks at the top among the Moroccan restaurants I’ve been to in Marrakesh, Paris, and Marseilles.
The lamb couscous is simply exceptional. And the owner is super friendly.

We tried the harira and the fatoush, and both were good. The harira was comforting and well seasoned, and the fatoush was fresh and nicely dressed. The lamb prunes dish was too sweet for my taste. I was expecting it to be more savory and spiced, so it didn’t work for me. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, with some dishes stronger than others.

Fettoush offers authentic, delicious Moroccan cuisine. The food is freshly made, generous portions and it tastes wonderful. I ordered Couscous with lamb and chicken with vegetables, they were both outstanding. Will definitely be my place for delicious comfort food

Aziz was a wonderful host and this restaurant is a gem. I always try to get different dishes when I go but I can never pass up the lamb couscous. Can’t wait to go back. This place is must try in Arlington!

My first visit to Fettoosh felt intimate in the best way. The owner personally served the dining room while also tending the kitchen, which lent the experience a quiet, home-cooked sincerity. Their signature mint tea was genuinely splendid—aromatic, balanced, and restorative—whether by recipe or by the hand that poured it.
I ordered the Tfaya (djaaj), drawn by curiosity about raisin-topped couscous, and was rewarded with a warm, herbal, deeply satisfying dish. The flavors felt honest and transportive, offering the closest approximation of a Maghrebi home kitchen I’ve encountered locally. While the setting is modest and the operation clearly small, the food carries cultural confidence and care. Fettoosh succeeds not by spectacle, but by intimacy—and that, here, is its strength!

Best Moroccan food in the area. The food is healthy, authentically prepared, and full of flavor. The owner is incredibly kind and made our experience truly wonderful. The lentil soup is delicious, and the tajine is outstanding—there isn’t a single bad dish on the menu. Highly recommend!

I stopped by for a vehicle emissions inspection nearby and happened to run into the owner of Fettoosh—he recognized me even though it had been a while since I last visited. He invited me to swing by while I waited and welcomed me with tea, hummus, freshly baked bread, and warm pitas. It was such an unexpected and generous gesture.
Fettoosh has always been one of my favorite spots for Moroccan food, and this experience was a reminder of why. The hospitality is truly unmatched, and the food is always delicious. Highly recommend this place, not just for the meals but for the kindness behind them.
