We had a wonderful experience at this charming family-run restaurant. The owner is incredibly kind and makes you feel like part of the family, which creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and the portion sizes are generous for the price. It’s clear they take great pride in what they serve. We’ll definitely be back – my son even declared this as one of his new favorite spots!

Landed here on a Friday evening and it was so worth it. It wasn’t crowded but soon customers started filling in. At the outset, the Moroccan mint tea was so refreshing. Then, for appetisers, I tried the Sfeha-Bi-Lahmi and it tasted like little pockets of heaven — the meat inside the dough was tender and was served with hummus and salad and a side dip. Then, we got the chicken tagine with lemon and olives and the lamb couscous. Both were amazing — the lamb was so flavourful and piled onto a bed of couscous with steamed veggies and chickpeas. The chicken tagine was good with the generous serving of olives and french fries with moroccan bread. The server/owner probably figured out that it was our first time and was super kind and great to talk to. Honestly, I think, more than the food, some people just leave a mark with how they behave with kindness and love and that elevates the whole experience of dining. For me, this was that. :) All in all, loved the food, the service, and the warm homely atmosphere. 10/10 would go again. Also, the desserts!! I’m pretty sure I didn’t catch the name of what we ordered but man, it was good!!

Brought my Moroccan fiancé here to celebrate one year living in America. He absolutely loved it & made him feel nostalgic. I had the lamb & rice, he had the Chicken Bastilla. We shared a medium pot of Moroccan mint tear. Our plates were spotless at the end of our meal. Amazing portions, quality, & service for the price.

After passing by this place for awhile, I finally decided to try it. Really good! The food was delicious and the service very friendly. The chicken pie, lamb tagine and eggplant were yummy!

Fettoosh is one of those restaurants you fall in love with at first sight, the friendly waiters and the cozy atmosphere make for a great expedition. Went in on August 19, to order the lamb kabob plate for $18.95 as well as any drink from the fridge for $2.75. The wait did not feel long as there was music playing in the background, every table gets complementary pita bread (just like how Mexican restaurants do ) which was also good. Once we got the food we dug in, the lamb was a bit rough, but apart from that the salad complimented it. The rice was decent, and the hummus served for both the pita and the lamb chops. At the end the owner gave us complimentary tea and I'd say Fettoosh was one of the most welcoming restaurants I've been in on the D.C. area.
