Will always come back to Fattoush... definitely my top 2 places in Lincoln. Omar is always so nice and friendly every time we come. Food is amazing as always! The beef Kebab was my go-to, but ever since I got the chicken tikka... game changer.

Absolutely delicious food! The fattoush salad is addictive! Highly recommend for those who love tangy side dishes. The dolmas here are incredible--they blew the ones I'd had in the past out of the water. I've had the falafel plate, lentil soup, and gyro as well and they were all spot on! A very clean restaurant, friendly workers, and overall a fantastic place to enjoy a meal!

Fantastic service, delicious food, and big portion sizes. It's hard to find gems like this. 10/10 all around. This was our second visit and it's become our new favorite. We appreciate the great service here and the friendliness. I wish I had more photos of our food, presentation was also lovely.

Literally so good! The food is so flavorful and workers are so kind. Make sure not to come too late, or call ahead because they sell out quick!! The beef kabobs with rice dish is literally so bomb as is the beef shawarma and baba ganoush.

We were actually sent here by a relative's physical therapist, who raved about the food. It's also super accessible - there is flat pavement from the front door all the way to the curb, and YES, it is a (6-spot) parking lot. I will probably still park in the back when not traveling with someone in a wheelchair, but if your mobility is limited, getting in and out is a dream (they even lifted the wheelchair into the trunk when we left - I was almost embarrassed). One of the stars is just for this accessibility The therapist actually raved about the food, which is very good. There are more choices than I'm used to at a Mediterranean restaurant, including four kinds of soup (okra, bean, eggplant, and lentil), all vegetarian. The okra was lovely and the eggplant also good (I'm not usually a big fan of either vegetable). We got a Lebanese lemon/mint soda, our soup, the dolma plate and the falafel plate (all vegetarian). The falafel plate comes with a generous amount of pita bread, in addition to pickled turnips and a delightful whipped garlic sauce. While I found the falafel balls a little bland, my companion raved about them, and is planning on recommending the place to her Peace Corps group, as well as our elderly parents. Ambiance is basic (booths covered with Chinese characters, for some reason - easy to get into from a wheelchair) with one storefront of seating and additional booths in the storefront where you order. Service was quick and couldn't be friendlier. Vegetarians who like to plan ahead: the website carefully calls out all the veg options, of which there are several.
