Fairouz Cafe & Gallery

Great place for a dinner with friends! Friendly and welcoming staff, great food and atmosphere. We ordered lemon chicken soup, Greek salad and lamb entry. Everything was! Owner recommended a great red wine for my husband! We enjoyed gorgeous paintings on the wall! Highly recommended!

First time visiting San Diego and I wanted some authentic food, this place delivered in every way. The food is fantastic (I had mansaf and baba ghanouj). However, my favorite part was actually meeting the owners (Sami and his brother), who are the sweetest people you can meet. They were super hospitable, I felt like I was being taken care of at my mom’s house eating food made with love! The restaurant is a great atmosphere and incredibly decorated with a gallery of the owner’s paintings. I purchased a beautiful print and a card with a poem - all of which are his own work and he shared me a personal backstory behind the print I picked up that I appreciated so much! Thank you to the family running this business for 40+ years, الله يرزقكم و يوفقكم ❤️ next time I’m in San Diego, I will be back!

Delicious food, and stunning paintings by the owner. Owner is extremely friendly and has a lot of great stories to tell! the overall atmosphere is very inviting… feels like having a meal at your family’s home.

Such a fantastic experience! This family owned and operated restaurant is like eating in an art gallery or your favorite uncle’s house. Owned by 2 brothers and one is an artist/poet/author. They are so fun, funny and personable. The food is cooked with love and was delicious Go for the experience and go back for the family feel good food ❤️

My first time at Fairouz and I will definitely be back. Smaller menu with well thought and perfectly executed dishes. It's the feeling of being in someone's home and being served excellent food by family. I definitely recommend.
