Fatima's Lebanese Restaurant - Redfern

I must admit, I had had a few drinks when I came here for a late night feed but I was really happy with it. The garlic chicken kebab was tasty and a good size. The beef lady finger was a little oily but delicious none the less!

By far the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at in my life. The restaurant is dirty including staff hygiene. We should of run when we saw the Spinach Triangles and Vine Leaves which were sitting in the Bain Marie of the adjoining takeaway of the restaurant served directly to our table - they were Luke warm and tasted like vomit, literally. Kibbe was rubbery from being microwaved and completely flavourless. Felafel was Grey in colour and also microwaved. Baba Ganoush and Hommous looked like and tasted worst than baby food. Fried Cauliflower & Eggplant were dripping in oil and so over cooked and mushy it was impossible to pick up with a fork. All meat was over cooked, dry and flavourless - I think the soles of Gandhi's flip flops would have been more tender. Garden salad should be renamed Onion Salad. Didn't even bother touching the potatoes as I just couldn't take the massacre any longer. Every staff member was from Indian decent, not one Arabic person in sight. Do yourself a favour - Please Run. Do not look back. This restaurant should be illegal and am surprised it's not on the NSW Food Authorities penalty notice list. I'm surprised we weren't all rushed to hospital with food poisoning. I've never written a restaurant review in my life but felt compelled to do so in order to save someone's life- it's only a matter of time before some does from eating the food served at Fattima's.

Went here with a group of friends for a Lebanese Banquet, it was $35 for pita bread, babaghanoush, hummus, lady fingers, tabouli, lamb kofta, falafel, beef, vine leaves, coffee and dessert (turkish delight and baklava. Great value! The food overall was pretty good, lady fingers were bit oily. It seems it's been made earlier and ready for the take away customers rather than freshly made. Baklava was particularly nice. They also allow BYO with no corkage fee. It's not the most attractive restaurant but cheap and cheerful. aroundtheclockfoodie.com

Just brilliant. Simple Lebanese and West Asian food served with simplicity. I ate in (you can take away too) the decor is old and it adds to the charm of the place. The owner was very generous and kind. As a veggie, this was a great experience to be able to have a wide choice of dishes. Check it out.
