Ferdos Grill

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years, it never disappoints. They have a huge selection of items from lamb, steak, chicken, etc. They are famous for their shish kebab, which is amazing. The grape leaves and kibbi are top notch. The best desserts too! Always good service as well.

One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in the Fort Lauderdale area! I’ve been a few times and the experience is always great. The food is super authentic and full of flavor — the kibbeh is one of my go-to dishes! I usually order to-go, and it’s always very well packaged. The prices are very fair for the amount of food you get. The restaurant also has a warm, family-style atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious! One of my favorite restaurants to go when looking for Lebanese food. We have tried the kibbeh, hummus and a platter with chicken and vegetables salte and hummus. All of them are fantastic. The baklava is too sweet for me, and I would never order it again, but it’s probably because I don’t like too sweet deserts. The restaurant is always clean and organized, and the service is very good. Parking is pretty easy.

My staff had lunch here recently. Absolutely Delicious. The service was excellent, Thank you Julio, the meal was perfect. Very flavourful. The price was also on point for lunch. This is a well known, established restaurant that always provides amazing meals with polite courteous service. For those who have never been here, this is your "hidden Gem 💎 ✨️ " So much so, that I am sitting in the front posting this review as I order my dinner to take home.

Very good Lebanese food. Reasonable priced lunch specials. Service was less than expected. Would have expected hot pita bread to be served WITH the entre, not 10 minutes before. When the food arrived the bread was cold.

Excellent Lebanese food! Fabian was a wonderful server. He recommended the platter for two and it did not dissapoint! Everything was wonderful! Lucy is a great hostess too. Will be coming back often.

Ferdos Grill offers exceptional Lebanese cuisine with outstanding service and generous portions. The sangria was refreshing, and the platter we ordered easily satisfied both of us. The highlight was definitely the hummus—creamy and flavorful, the best around! Overall, Ferdos Grill exceeded our expectations. For anyone craving delicious Lebanese food in a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

One of my best meals I had. Service was outstanding! Hummus and escargot to start both flavorful and fantastic! Chicken kabobs were cooked to perfection! The galaba with chicken and beef is my new favorite dish! Baklava was also perfect! Definitely a must try! Will definitely be back!

Everything was wonderful....food was delicious and plentiful , great service and friendly staff. The ambiance was relaxing and comfortable. Looking forward to returning.

i was in the mood for something on the healthier side, mediterranean maybe. my friends suggested this place, so we all opted in. i had never been here before, but id soon find out i was in for a treat ! i ordered the shrimp appetizer to start, which went great with the warm pita they send to the table. the shrimp were a healthy size and the sauce full of flavor. for my entree i went with the falafel salad. the salad itself was tasty and fresh, yet proverbial, however, the falafel nuggets they give with the salad were phenomenal ! crunchy on the outside, moist/soft on the inside, and loaded with flavor ! it's a great accompaniment to the salad and gives it life. my friends got the tacos and the meat, which i didn't try, but they complimented their meals and very much enjoyed it. service was a bit on the slower side, but our server was working the whole room alone, so i didn't hold it against him, and it didn't change our great experience. i will 100% be back !!!

I've been driving by this restaurant for the 25 years I've lived in Ft Lauderdale. I finally gave it a try on 2/3/24. We arrived at 6pm on a Saturday night and 3 tables were occupied. In the beginning we had great service from the male server. We ordered an appetizer and entree. The server asked if we wanted it all at once or one at a time. We chose one at a time. While we waited for the appetizer another staff member brought us warm pita. There is olive oil at the table for one to dip it in. We received the Arayes appetizer 10 minutes after ordering it. It was delicious. This is when things went downhill. We waited one hour after receiving the appetizer to receive the Shawarma entree. While sitting there waiting for the entree, the staff ignored us for 45 minutes. The male who refills waters checked on us and said our entree will be out shortly. Then the female owner checked on us and said it would be coming up soon. Then the male server came to our table and told us we never ordered the Shawarma and now the owner is yelling at him because we told her we were waiting on our entree. It was so unprofessional. The entree came out about 10 minutes after the server spoke with us. The owner never apologized for the mistake or acknowledged it. The entree was delicious too, but I am staying with the 1 star rating due to the terrible and unprofessional service. They automatically add 18% gratuity to the bill, which we did pay, but felt it should have been removed.

An absolute VIBE. Totally recommend this place. Free parking out front. Our orders: chicken kebab, shish kebab (med rare), hot tea, hummus, tabouleh. The music is a vibe, food was 11/10, and service was fun. I could bathe in the hummus

My buddy was in town this past Saturday so after a day of rock climbing we were starving and went to ferdos. It's been months since I've been there so I was pretty excited to go. We arrived and were seated immediately and probably not even 15min and our appetizers were on the table. A few minutes later and the Main dish was served. The food was phenomenal and the environment was great. They even had a belly dancer there. Highly recommend going here.

We ordered takeout for the first time and it was excellent! We originally were going to dine in, but we were on a time crunch to go home so we popped in and ordered our meal to go. We came on a Monday night and were greeted right away. We were escorted to the bar and the hostess/server gave us a few minutes to peruse the menu. She suggested the Ferdo Special Platter to share which came with a little bit of everything; protein, rice, salad and hummus along with garlic sauce. We also ordered a side of French fries. While we waited, we enjoyed a glass of delicious Lebanese wine. Our food came out shortly after finishing our wines and we were on our way. With our short time there, the service was great and we'll definitely be back to dine in. When we get home, our food was packaged nicely and it was alllll delicious! The meats were cooked to perfection and she even gave us extra pita to enjoy. All of the flavors were fresh and plentiful and we ate the whole thing. A new Mediterranean spot to add to our rotation!

Honestly second time ordering from them for work lunch in and I'm still disappointed. I got the chicken platter and this is how it came. 3 pieces of chicken meat which had no flavor. I did like the hummus, rice and the salad but the chicken wasn't the best. Disappointed

Ferdos is not a place I'd write out completely and hear me out. The food seemed to lack a bit of freshness and refinement in terms of plating and portion size. The portions are okay for the price but could be better at almost $20 a plate ( for example , the vegetables portion did not coincide with the rice and is personally enjoy more vegetables than parboiled rice ) for something as basic as vegetables , parboiled rice and chicken. I will upload a photo of my plate so you can take a gander. Okay here's the part where we don't write it off. This super quaint spot can be as quiet or as loud , depending on the day and parties inside of course. We went right before the dinner rush and it slowly got a bit louder. It is consistent with the taste , you can easily find that consistency in most of their dishes. The babaganoush was excellent as well as the lentils. The servers are also very pleasant and quick to help but make sure to order everything at once in case there's a huge party. Would I go back to it again? Maybe but it wasn't a space for me to remember to go back because it didn't have anything that truly made it different than most Lebanese spots.

The ambience is great! Love the decor, the waitress was amazing, so personable and friendly; she had a lot of knowledge on the food which I loved because I haven't really had much of it before. The food tasted so fresh and delicious! We had three dips: hummus, yogurt dip and baba ghanoush. We had grape leaves, kibbi (fried) which is my fave it's so delicious! And the falafel! So flavorful and crunchy on the outside! The service was immaculate and we even tried dessert, which I can't recall the name but it had cheese and rose petal water with crispy noodles on top and crushed pistachios it was delightful! Highly recommend and would definitely be back!!

Came here for lunch and the portions were perfect, food very tasty and fresh. All of us at the table loved our meal and the hot tea was very good too.

The food was delicious! The restaurant was clean and inviting with a cool ambiance and all of the staff were friendly and attentive . We had the chicken shawarma and the beef kabobs, both were delicious. Also had a nice glass of wine. There is outdoor dining but it wasn't open when I was there. Great new find, can't wait to go back!

Stopped by weekday lunch, sat at middle booth table, nice cosy decor. Ordered chicken kababs comes unsweetened iced tea with pita bread. Food came in 10 minutes, grilled chicken was juicy, hummus, salad and rice were all delicious, server was nice and brought a box to take leftovers. There is no lunch in the weekend and close on Sundays.

We ordered food from this restaurant through Ubereats since it was the closest restaurant that was not a fast food joint near our hotel. The food was not good and the fees on Ubereats were outrageous. We ordered the beef galaba, gyro platter and kibeh. It was all very bland and they never sent plasticware with the food.

Let me upfront say I have always loved this restaurant's food and service plus I take the blame for not reading my check BUT the server never said a word! BE AWARE OF TIP ADDED! I have been coming to Ferdos Grill for quite a while but last night was the first time I charged our dinner. I don't mind a tip being included in the price BUT I would like to be told about it. In addition to the $24 CASH tip we left I just noticed today that I was charged a $17.82 tip on my charge card! That came to a total of $41.82 for a little over a 40% tip!!. I was a waiter for 38 years and when I worked at a restaurant where a tip was included I always told the customer. Whether this is a new policy of the new owners or not I feel the server is responsible to tell the customer of the tip being added but then he/she might not get doubled tip! I will NOT be coming back to Ferdos Grill anymore.

The delicious food, comfortable (and quiet!) ambience and impeccable service make this one of our favorite places to visit.

Writing this review strictly based off of the hummus. It's amazing. I literally just come here to get hummus. I don't know what magical goodness they put inside the hummus, but it's delicious. I've heard the food is pretty good too. Based off the hummus, I bet it is. Everyone is friendly at the restaurant. You can dine in or take out.

Cute, Middle Eastern interior with a combination of booths and tables. Had to ask for new water glasses, as both had lip prints and finger marks. Pleasant service, however, and a comprehensive menu. They had lunch specials available as well. Overall, nicely prepared dishes full of flavor. Will definitely return. Try the Kibbi!

I have enjoyed our meals here. I will be accountable for my past negligence. But tonight, we noticed how they added the tip, which I have no problems with. I do have a problem with them adding a tip and not labeling it, then following it up with a suggested gratuity amount on the bill with a tip already on it. BAD BUSINESS! I even called the waiter over, and he said he never noticed it. I told him it is a shady way of trying to take money from people. Very sad for this place, the food was good.

I absolutely looooved this place. The hostess Lucy is a sweetheart and our waiter Julio was hilarious. The food was fantastic. We ordered a little (ok a lot) of things to share. Here are a few of the things I can remember ordering but I kind of lost consciousness after eating so much . -Baba Ghannouj (not usually a fan but this was really good) -Tabbouleh (oh so fresh) -Hummus (definitely a must) -Falafel (really good) -Labneh (yuuum) -Lamb grape leaves (could eat a thousand) -Lebanese sausage (seriously delicious) You must order the fried pita bread because everything tastes better fried. We also got the roasted pepper dip that I forgot the name of and it actually deserves a separate mention because it was the highlight for everyone. It is seriously the best one I have ever tried! I will definitely be coming back to Ferdos soon.

Had takeout it was very good food. Not huge portions but meat was well cooked and the hummus was really good

The best and auténtic Lebanese food Really the best The executive chef owner Chaiben is a genius waoo the presentation of the plate,the flavors are Unik The service excellent

We came to Ferdos for a party and they otherwise closed the restaurant. It was delicious and we had wonderful loving service. Gyro and Fatoush with hummus and babaganouj. We had a great time!!

I usually come here for takeout for work lunches. The food is very authentic and not to mention delicious! The portions are great as well. Obsessed w their hummus. I would definitely recommend. For more follow me on insta @kristythefloridafoodie

Delicious!!!! We both got the gyros. The salad was so good. The gyros and tzatziki were out of this world. My friend had rice with hers and couldn't stop saying how good it was. Portions were so big I had it for dinner and a snack the next day , Service was terrific. Wish we lived closer. We took a menu so we wouldn't forget the name for next years trip!

I wont recommend this place to anyone as the food is pathetic and overpriced. There is no taste in the food and the menu in the photos here has old and different prices and the dining prices are way too high. Never going to visit this place and wont recommend to waste your money here.

The food was amazing. Make sure you try the Fava bean salad and the ferdo's sampler platter. There was nothing that wasn't delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and service attentive. We'll be back often.

Easy going lunch spot with very quick service and hearty portions. The fatoosh salad with chicken comes with a generous amount of chicken and well salted veggies that make it light but filling. Cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and pita chips with a sour cream like sauce for dipping. Also enjoyed the hummus with warm pita bread to start. Hummus was freshly made and smooth. The espresso at the end of the meal was a nice pick me up for a big meal. A few light pastry desserts To go along with the coffee may have been a bit too much for me. Overall, I like the restaurant for a midday lunch during the week. Nothing stood out in a good or bad way so I would likely come back for another lunch or come back to check out dinner.

This is my first time at Ferdos Grill... I always drive by it; I mean, the location is perfect on federal highway. The service was good, and the food was served quickly, during lunchtime. The food was authentic and traditional to the Lebanese cuisine. The portions were big that I had enough to take home. Lunch special ranged from $11.99 ton14.99 - Prices for lunchtime are fair. If you are into beer, you must try Almaza beer. I can't wait to return to try the other food.

Had a very enjoyable lunch at Ferdo's. My friend and I had the shrimp kebab which came with delicious rice, hummus, pita wedges, and salad. Everything was great including the atmosphere. The decor was very pleasing along with relaxing music. We will definitely return.

Excellent food with good size portions. To go service offered. Friendly owner and staff.

This place is a gem. Have dined in once and it was a wonderful experience. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. Excellent service, the staff was so nice and wanted to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. I ordered the Shish tawook Sandwich with rice. Food was so delicious and flavorful. I highly recommend and I look forward to visiting again!

While the ambiance is nothing to write home about the food more than makes up for it. It is probably the best middle eastern food I have had, well since I've been to the Middle East. There is nothing on this menu not worth trying. I had the kabob platter with all of the salads, stuffed grape leaves and french fries. All were amazing. I know what you're thinking, French fries are French fries, but not these. They put a sauce on them that is absolutely killer. All of the salads and dips were homemade as well and you can definitely taste the difference. All I can tell you is don't judge a book by the cover. If you are a foodie then you have to try this place.

.6:6:18- wow the hostesses does it all opens door for all guest , seats you ckean's tables plus. We went w: the lunch specials , I had Tawook which is the chicken skewers with rice small salad plus hummus and this small amount of this garlic sauce delious the best . G had the Kafta which was like chop meat in a long like log w/ the same sides . Server was very good all this plus a coffee or ice tea only $9.99 . went for lunch busy I had a Takook chicken with small green peppers came with a small iceberg lettuce salad , nice dressing and rice and a garlic sauce that was very good also hummus , also a ice tea or coffee included for only $9.99 . The pita bread was dry . My gf had the fish which was Grouper looked good with the same sides . The server was very good in the busy lunch crowd

Underwhelming Greek/Mediterranean place. Lackluster food and service to match. $50 lunch for 2 with only ice tea to drink should impress me way more than this place did. Ethos on Wilton Drive far exceeds this place in food quality, service and value. Not worthy of a detour so unless you're desperate don't bother.

I'd forgotten how good this place is for middle eastern (Mediterranean) food. I'd been here many years ago for an association meeting. Liked it so much that I brought my husband here for a meal. We've been a time or two since, but not in many, many years. This time, we came for a late dinner. There is an attached lot and we found a parking spot right in front. The lot can get busy at certain times. They start you off with some pita and a dish of zaatar spices topped with sesame seeds. You add in some olive oil (I like to add some salt, too) and mix it together. Dipping the pita in the spice mixture keeps you munching while deciding what you want to order. They have a full bar, but we both opted for lemonade. They have various coffees and teas, too. I was surprised that they were still fairly full as it was a bit late in the evening. A large group of gals were celebrating a birthday, a family with a couple young kids, a group of business folks dining together, another older couple, and the two gay guys sitting behind us who were on their first date together. They have some limited outside seating as well and there was a large family group at a table that we passed on the way out. We decided to share their Ferdo's Sampler Platter (listed under appetizers). It was wonderful. Some of the best fresh hummus I've had in quite sometime -- creamy smooth chickpeas; a delicious slightly chunky baba-ghanouj (ghanoush?). You could taste the smokiness of the roast eggplant in the purée mixed with lemon and tahini and topped with olive oil. There were two fried felafel balls to dip in the small dish of tehina. I'd substituted the meat filled grape leaves for the veggie ones. These were excellent. The vine leaves were tender. They were stuffed and rolled around a mix of lamb and soft rice with spices. They were served hot. You could taste the lemony flavor of the broth and olive oil they were cooked in. All this was served over a bed of refreshing fatoush salad -- lots of parsley and crispy pita pieces mixed in with the red onions, and salad greens. We were pretty full after just this, but decided to add in a bit more protein. We ordered their fried smelts. The basket of small fish served whole (no heads) was crispy and served piping hot with a side dish of lemon sauce for dipping. If you like them, these were perfect. Small enough to eat entirely without worrying about any bones. We were too full even by then to try their version of one of our favorite middle eastern desserts (knafeh). We left saying we should come back much sooner...

We haven't visited Ferdos in several years though we drive by a few times a week. We invited friends to tag along and everyone was very happy with their meals. The hummus was very good and all of the kabobs and chop dishes cooked to perfection. We finished with kanafeh dessert - a cheesy mixture topped with baked philo dough strips, rose water, honey, butter, nuts and other tasty stuff. Our server Sam was very attentive, even with a large family table and nearly full dining room. The belly dancer was good and entertaining; however, the entertainment and loud music hindered social conversation after the first few dances.

Such a hidden gem. It's right on US 1, and I would always pass it and think nothing of it. One night we decided to just try something new, and we ended up finding one of our favorite local Mediterranean spots. Ferdos has the best hummus I've ever had. It is so creamy and smooth. Every time we go, I order a hummus to go (which usually only lasts me a day or two because I devour it!). Plenty of fresh options and vegan and vegetarian options. I enjoy their veggie kabob and garlic sauce. The sampler appetizer platter has fabulous grape leaves, falafel, and hummus. My husband gets the chicken sandwich and never tried anything else because he loves it so much. They have live belly dancing entertainment on the weekends, so it's cute to see parties enjoy and interact with the dancer. Family owned and operated--the wife of the owner has been our server and is very kind and welcoming! Happy to support such a delicious local gem.

Everything is fresh and delicious! The inside is very cute. Nice place to have lunch or dinner.

The food is amazing! They have exceptional customer service. The place is a bit small but other than that 10/10

This is the second time that we have dined here for lunch. The first time we were not as impressed with the food and came back because we heard there were new owners. I ordered off the lunch menu the ground beef kebab with salad and rice. My friend had the Ferdos sampler with order of spinach pie. The small salad and beef was salty and was served with an abundance of rice. Her sampler was just ok. For lunch prices the bill was very high for the quality of food and amount of food. Service was very slow for being the only ones in there. We definitely will not be back..

You're driving down US1 and you read a "Home of the Kabob" sign and think nothing of it as the plaza looks sketchy and dark, so you keep driving. Well that was me for years before first trying Ferdo's. Boy am I glad I checked this place out because the food is great! I'm always looking for good Greek/middle eastern food and this place is the perfect spot for that. I love the hummus with either beef or chicken -yum! And I always get the Greek salad with lamb. The lamb isn't that thin artificial stuff you get everywhere else. It's thick and juicy and full of flavor. I've tried the other salads as well and they are also great! I promise you won't leave this place hungry. The vibe of the place isn't amazing, it's sort of just casual and sometimes they have an occasional belly dancer but definitely come here for the food! Thanks Ferdo's!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now because several years ago someone told me it was very good. I love middle eastern food and have eaten many M E restaurants. The place is cute and has a bit of character, but i was disappointed with the food. We had the babaganoush appetizer...It was excellent BUT they brought the little pita slices first and they got cold by the time the Baba came. I tried to use the "olive oil" on the table with my little pitas but was struck by the taste and color. Did not taste like olive oil and it was very light in color, almost like another vegetable oil. I also noticed the olive oil used as garni on the babag. was darker & aromatic in color and the taste was certainly more appealing. Very disappointed. Olive Oil should be a good quality and it was not. My son had the Lamb Shwarma (aka Gyro classic). When we left my son told me it was the driest most overcooked he had ever had. He said the Tzatziki was not good. He was not a fan. I had the Ferde's special combo grill kebabs: Chicken, Beef, Kaffte (sp) rice & veggies. All were seasoned tasty but the Beef was very rare (I asked for medium) and the Kaffte texture was not as I am used to. It was more fluffy and soft. The Service was fair. And agree they should tell you when the Bill has the gratuity already included. Sad, but I don't think I will be coming back.

We've been going to Ferdos for over 20 years and loved it. Lately, though, the food was not as good. For example, the salad dressing is not as tasty and the hummus was thicker than it has been. The waitstaff is still good (Lucy is fantastic) but we do miss Sam. I'm past years, I Wouk's have given Ferdos 5 stars but now...4 is all I can give.

I don't like leaving bad reviews of businesses as I feel like everyone has bad days. My wife and I tried Ferdos as we love Lebanese food. The atmosphere and service were very nice but we did not enjoy our food at all and we both ended up sick from it. Would not recommend as there are much better places for similar price range.

The best Lebanese food I've ever experienced you don't want to miss it Ferdos Grill Lebanese cuisine inside the Delray market Delray Beach A must !!!

My server was Lucy and she had terrific customer service. She was attentive and made sure my food was exactly how I wanted it. I had a great experience and will definitely come again!

Somewhat small cozy greek restaurant located on federal hwy in ft Lauderdale. On a Thursday night around 7pm it wasn't to crowded so we sat right away. Menu has a lot of greek selections that you'd expect to see on a menu however their bar selection was kind slim. We ordered the Gyro and salmon. I love salmon and this was pretty good but it didn't knock my socks off. Definitely really nice size portions of all of the food though. I took off a star because the service was a bit on the slow side. Not awful but not great either. I'd go back again for sure.

Top notch. Service was great. Food was delicious. I cant believe we hadn't visited sooner.

Came here with my family on vacation and the food was very delicious. To start they gave you pita, oil, and a spice to mix in. It lacked flavor, but good when you added a little salt. After we share the hummus which was tasty, and the escargot. For dishes we had the Greek salad, falafel sandwich, and gyro platter. Everything was great- the gyro meat was cooked perfectly and everything had great flavors. A knock off for the service not being great. Everything was very very slow and took forever for her to come over to take our order.

wonderful Lebanese food. Tabouli to die for. Fresh & clean, when I missing Lebanese cuisine this is my 1st choice
