What to Eat at Qasr Al Farouj How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Qasr Al Farouj, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try dine-in. Consider eating in if you want the reported complimentary soup and cabbage-and-carrot salad with your meal.
Ask extras. If you like potato crisp, ask for extra garlic sauce; one regular customer specifically orders it that way.
Check sides. Confirm paid potato additions before accepting delivery, since one order arrived without them and another received regular fries.
Avoid delays. For delivery, allow extra time or avoid peak periods because a customer reported waiting over two hours.
Watch parking. If visiting in person, allow time to find parking because one reviewer noted a parking issue.

Common Concerns
Delivery quality

Inconsistent taste
Some returning customers say recipes or management changes have made the food noticeably worse than before.
Dry dishes
Reviews criticise dry chicken, dry shawarma with little filling and rice that tasted old.
Late orders
One loyal customer waited more than two hours for a delivery, while another reported a long dine-in wait.
Parking
A review mentions a small parking problem, which may matter if you are visiting rather than ordering.

The Bottom Line
Qasr Al Farouj is a Syrian restaurant in Al Quoz with a menu centred on shawarma and chicken. The most convincing praise goes to the chicken shawarma: reviews describe thin bread, tender chicken and creamy garlic sauce. Broasted chicken and grilled chicken also have a loyal following, and the Fawaz chicken fillet sandwich stands out for its breaded chicken and cheese filling.
There are a few worthwhile dine-in touches. One customer mentions a small cup of Syrian lentil soup plus cabbage-and-carrot salad served with the meal. Other reviews praise generous portions, reasonable pricing and staff who are polite and professional.
A regular also likes ordering extra garlic sauce with potato crisp. The main caution is consistency, especially with delivery. Recent complaints describe cold food, oily or old-tasting fries, dry chicken, sparse shawarma filling and rice that seemed several days old.
Delivery has also been very late for some customers, including one wait of more than two hours. Earlier reviews are much more enthusiastic, so experiences clearly vary by order and timing. If you go in person, keep the parking issue in mind and check any paid side additions before leaving.
