    Always really good and very full servings. Today we just had hummus and tabbouleh with Bread. Sooooo yummy we will definitely be back. Note that this restaurant is inside the food lab. Some of the pictures show another location which I have no idea if it exists. This one pictured is next door to Babas Chicken.

    This place is phenomenal! This is my second time ordering from here, and I would absolutely recommend. AMAZING food that is cooked to order. It was steaming hot and fresh both times. The employees were very nice and gave great recommendations.

    I don’t recommend eating there I ordered the mixed kabob plate and chicken shawarma fries. The mixed kabob plate was disgusting, the kafta was not cooked, it was full of blood. The meat skewer was so chewy. All the food was cold and the tabouleh was so old and dry. I don’t recommend eating there unless you want food poisoning and a cold meal.

    The flavors are very strong, and the chicken shawarma is little bits of chicken mixed in seasonings and sauce. It’s not the shaved pieces of chicken you get in other restaurants. The pitas are excellent! They are cooked to order in an open-flame oven.

    I do support local businesses, but service and quality are important. Serving burnt food is not acceptable. You can clearly see when the food's appearance is not of quality or the expected outcome, and can make the decision not to serve it to your customers. Second and last time here, not the most customer friendly spot or best food for the prices.

    This place is great! It's part of the Food Lab with lots of choices of restaurants in one spot. We were there on a Saturday night, and it was hopping!

    Fufu’s has been serving excellent Lebanese dishes in Riverside, from their location in Mission Grove and in to the Riverside Food Lab! I was able to check out Fufu’s Middle Eastern Grill’s second location on opening day, Sept. 1, 2018! Yes, I know this review is overdue but I’ve had their food enough times to say each visit was a wonderful experience. The prices are great and the people who work there are friendly! The entrees are plentiful and perfect for sharing. Some of the items I enjoy here are their Mixed Plate (Kafta, Beef & Chicken). The meat is always tender and juicy. I really enjoy their Beef Shawarma Fries! It’s a MUST ORDER item! The Hummus pairs well with most of the entrees too. Overall, Fufu’s is a gem in Riverside! The wonderful staff and delicious food will have you coming back!

    Mixed kabob plate with kafta kabob and chicken was good. Two sides of hummus and salad plus pita bread and garlic sauce were fresh and tasty.

    My second time ordering the chicken shawarma fires and was definitely satisfied. I have ordered other of the many dishes on their menu and recommend them to others to try as well. 😮‍💨

    I had what they call falafel wrap. Everything about the sandwich was good except for the most important ingredient. falafel was big chunks of uncooked garbanzo beans.

    Shawerma has nothing to do with the real shawerma. Name is misleading. Spices, meat cut, and color were so off. But as a regular chicken sandwich, it was good. Chicken and kuftah (beef/lamb) kebabs skewers were good. Spices were good. Both were Juicy and flavorful. I’d buy again. Falafel wrap was good. Falafel was crunchy and hot. Tho spices were a bit off tho - too much of dried cilantro. Stuffing was good. I’d buy again.

    The Zaatar pie and veggie wrap were the closest taste of Dubai we’ve had in California. The food was flavorful and fresh. The longer wait was absolutely worth it!

    Most favorite place in the food lab. I love the chicken or beef shwarma fries and all the wraps are good too. All the mixture of the seasonings they use are delicious. The prices are reasonable to the portion they give u.

    I had lunch here the other day. Paid nearly $25 (including tip) for a chicken plate. Hummus was both gritty and watery. Rice was barely mid. Chicken was ok but hardly had any flavor. Salad was by far thee worst. I had one taste and it tasted odd. Took a second bite and I realized that none of the produce in the salad was at all cleaned. I assume they just grabbed lettuce and onions and tomatoes or whatever and just cut them up and never washed them. Few hours later I was running in and out of the restroom and it was coming out of both ends! Couldn't go to work today cause I'm still nauseous and have immense stomach pain. I'm never coming back here again. Instead I’ll keep going to panini kabob grill and kabob house.

    Ordered uber eats tonight, got the cauliflower and a beef/chicken shwarma plate. Whoever was responsible for drizzle the lemon juice was really having a laugh tonight.... My cauliflower was soaked in lemon juice and there was another piece of lemon in it too! The rice tasted sour, the chicken tasted sour. Everything was sour apart from the pita bread. Quite disappointed given the good reviews online, but would give it another try when I eventually get over tonight's sour taste, literally.

    The place was easily accessible via public as well as private transport. The rates were economical and the quantity was generous. The waiting time was good as well. Tried Hummus, French fries, Pita bread, BBQ and rice, and everything was really delicious. The ambience was good and the sitting area was perfect for family and office gatherings

    Beef Kabobs is not marinated properly, it tasted just like a regular grilled steak, did not even have salt and pepper. They put bread inside the togo box so got saggy. Food was very pricey.

    Zatar pie was so good. Baba ganoush was also good. Pretty good portions for price. Pita bread was the best of it all.

    Food is delicious but you don't get your money's worth. I ordered 2 chicken bowls and it was 90% rice with a little bit of chicken and toppings. I basically paid $30 for 2 bowls of rice and a drink.... I definitely did feel ripped off. If you go to a mom and pop Mediterranean place, they'll give you a nice portion of food and not just rice

    Ordered for the first time off of postmates which is always a little if-fy. The food is so amazing. I've never had a better Falafel, their rice is perfect, garlic butter is great. All of it was perfect will definitely be ordering again and taking my family.
