I should probably rate this 4 stars, but I had to go to this place three times last week during a miserable week of depositions, depo preps, mediations, and other lawyer bullshit. I had the roast chicken, chicken curry and tilapia. All were good. The salads were great as are the fresh baked breads. I'll go again but not anytime soon. I need time to decompress before I can go back. See you in five years!

vegetarian sampler=the way to go. the service here is very friendly, and their variety of options is great. i especially love their tabbouleh, cucumber salad, and pitas. the hummus is reliably good, as is the baba ghanoush, and i love the chick pea salad (not sure what the authentic name is!) for a little protein. their other roasted hot veggies are always tasty, though i usually feel the need to blot them a bit to remove some of the oil. i appreciate that they don't want to serve dry veggies...but sometimes it's all a bit overly greasy. my mother LOVES the eggplant, and my father has had only good things to say about the meats. i'm also told that if i liked baklava even a tiny bit, i would enjoy theirs. the prices aren't cheap BUT you get a huge amount of food and they feature to-go boxes for the grabbing right next to the drink station, so the cost is justifiable. all in all a good, reliable place, but not something i could do every day.

Awesome Mediterranean food! The pitas are made right there, so they are always fresh. The Baba Ghanoush is OK, as is the Tabbouleh (sorry guys, Ali Baba gets my vote for best Tabbouleh, Mom makes it fresh every day and doesn't skimp on the parsley) Don't forget to try the gyros and the sides. The rosated eggplant is excellent.
Back in the day, I used to have to drive 100 miles for a shawarma. Now it's only five minutes away. Progress!

Their dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) are to die for. Their greek salad is also very tasty. I often find myself picking off of my fiance's plate since he orders richer dishes. amzing gyros. they make their own pita bread. i made a trip to the middle east last year and god the food tast the same. i have been to so many greek places but not even closed to this.
keep up the good work.
I love Fadi's the food is excellent!!! I like the whole cafeteria concept only because you can try so many different things. The first time I was there I went with my husband and we each had a sampler, big mistake we were soooooooo full. So now we order one sampler to share and have an order of falafel. We have yet to try the gyro, the day I don't give in to the sampler I'll have that instead. The restaurant's atmosphere is not great it's like eating at a cafeteria but that does not matter so much, the price is great and the portions are a good size. The place is clean and employees are not rude. Fadi's is definitely on my permanent list.
I've never experienced a Mediterranean restaurant quite like this one. It's *almost* buffet style as you choose what type of combo you want, and then tell the servers how much of each item you want on your plate. Perhaps an odd way to do things, but I think it works out well since I usually want to try lots of the different mezze items. My favorites were the roasted cauliflower, the cous cous, the roasted zucchini, the tabbouleh, and the hummus was also great. For my meat I chose the yellow looking chicken dish which was extremely flavorful and the fresh pita that goes along with everything is AMAZING. Last but not least you must try the "Super Drink" which is a mixture of 14 fruits and it really is pretty Super.
Not only was the place tasty, but it was an amazing value because I was literally overstuffed and didn't finish everything on my plate for a total of $10. The place itself is clean, but definitely lacking in ambiance. This is somewhere I would frequent for weeknight dinners, and although the food is good, the buffet style leads to much more casual dining experience.

YUMM-O. This place has got Mediterranean food down to a science. It's always consistent and always wonderfully flavorful. Their babakanoosh is good but gets old really quickly, but their fresh pita bread/naan is out of this world. Careful: you can easily burn yourself with this stuff when it comes right out of the oven.
My favorites include: the spinach and potato sides and their fresh salads. If you've never been here, try the sampler with a friend to discover what you like.

After seeing the Fadi's review from earlier today, it reminded me that I still have not been. I decided to drop in today and pick up some stuff to go. Wow, I was overwhelmed and honestly, the staff did not really guide me through the line or explain anything. There needs to be instructions for first timers!
I got a side Greek salad and a chicken schwarma. Yum and yum. I honestly got way too much food. Next time, I think I will get hummus and Greek salad and clean it up with the divine pita bread. The chicken schwarma was good and if I am in the mood again, I will go back for that. It had a little too much yogurt but to counter that I asked for the spicy peppery sauce on the side to dabble on each bite. Anyway, this is a find for the price...as people have been posting for ages. I am looking forward to going back and trying some other salads and one of the fresh juices...mango, maybe.

Decent Mediterranean fare at a reasonable price. The baba ghanouj, tabouli, and hummus were OK, but not near as good as Ali Baba's. The roasted eggplant was outstanding, and the mushroom, spinach, and cranberry salad was delish! The bread was nice as well. It is more convenient than Ali Baba's, and easier to access at lunch, so I'll use it for that purpose... BUT when I want the real deal, I'm still heading to lower Greenville-Baba land.

Above average. I think if you found your favorite things here, you'd be set. For a first timer, it was overwhelming & expensive. We had way too much food & weren't quite sure what to do with ourselves. Some things were good, others were not. I did enjoy just making a mess out of the pita, hummus & tabouleh. I could bathe in that shit. YUM. Don't be fooled by ALL the dips- they aren't that great unfortunately. Neither are the veggies. I want to go back & try the wraps. It was good, I think you just need to know what the hell you are doing.

I was hankering a Schwarma. I had been to a Fadi's in Houston, but wanted to check out what the birth place of Fadi's had to offer. Pretty much the same thing and thats awesome because consistency is key at chains. I ordered a Beef Schwarma and the Fadi sampler platter. The Platter was amazing. I could have whatever I wanted from their never ending cafeteria style line of Mediterranean food. I had an assorted plate of dips (hummus and baba ganoush) , sampling of three different salads (greek salad, carrot salad, tabbouleh), a mix of veggies (rice, roasted cauliflower yum yum yum!, spinach, potatoes, green beans) , and a delicious lemon roasted chicken. I know I know its a lot of food but, i ordered to go and I will have the rest for my meals today! I was lucky too because they were making fresh Pita right when i walked and they were sooooo goood!!! The best part I ordered it all to go!

If you are looking for a great hole in the wall type place, don't come here. This place is very modern and has a very commercialized feel to it. The food, however, is good to go along with low prices.
Their spicy hummus wasn't great. I was expecting hummus with a kick and instead got hummus with a weird aftertaste. I'll stick with regular next time. My main course was the gyro wrap. The meat was well seasoned and the portions are good. I'll definitely come back.
Though the atmosphere comes off much more western than authentic ethnic, the food is good. Almost like a greek version of Chipotle...almost. For decent food and a great value, go here. 3.5 stars...

Fadi's would get an extra star if they added a little more seasoning to their food. I have eaten here on a couple of occasions and it always is pretty solid. The beef shwarma is good, the lamb is decent and everything else is okay.

Fadi's - I give you 3 stars. I wanted spanikopita and you failed me. I didn't like most of my options on the salad bar and the hummus was ehh at best. My chicken kabob was pretty delicious though and that kept you from getting 2 stars. That's about all I gotta say about this place really..
Ok Ok.. One of my friends demanded I give Fadi's credit for the Magic Juice as she loves it. So there you do. Magic Juice. Fadis. Good (or so I hear!)

Terrific food, great atmosphere. Theres nothing in the line that I don't enjoy. The first time I went there, I and a friend shared the $15.99 sampler plate, ate like starved animals and had enough left over for the next days lunch. The staff is more than willing to answer any questions. I recommend sharing a number 1 or 2 special with someone with strawberry or carrot juice. I can't give it a strong enough recommendation.

Yelp needs the ability to give half stars. I give this place 3.5 stars. I went in here not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. I got a beef sharwarma sandwich and a side of falafels. The sandwich was good, except the meat felt more like gryro meat compared to the meatier texture of the shawarma I am used to. Falafels were good, not great. The sauces are thinner than I like. I also tried the magic juice because of Jennifer C.'s friend's recommendation and really now, who can resist something called MAGIC juice. Well, sadly enough, there wasn't really anything magical about it. It was good. Fresh. Just didn't have any punch.

Fadi's has a cafeteria style layout. First you choose three vegetables, choices include hummus, various salads, potatoes and many more options, then you choose what type of meat you want. You end up with a huge plate full of food that will satisfy any amount of hunger. Their hummus is fantastic and has to be enjoyed with hot out of the oven pita bread. Come hungry.

Fadi's is a great value. You get a lot of flavor and a lot of food for a good price. It's a cafeteria style restaurant so be prepared to wait until people decide what they want (which can at times be annoying if you already know what you want) Service is less than enthusiastic but nonetheless, food is great. I prefer the lamb dishes and their roasted potatoes are so good. Be sure to start with their hummus or my favorite, Baba Ghanouge; paired with the best pita bread I've ever had.
Also, try the lamb kabob sandwich...it has great large cuts of lamb, relish, tomatoes, and a great dressing, all wrapped up in a great tortilla type bread. So good and filling!
