" This was my first time visiting Fanous, and honestly, it did not meet my expectations. Though the food looked appetizing and had good flavor, there was a certain lack of authenticity I was hoping for. The hookah was fine, but not exceptional. The service was quite slow which added to the disappointment. The place has potential, but I think they need to focus on the authenticity of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really not impressed with my visit to Fanous. The service was exceedingly slow and the waiter seemed distracted. I ordered a few appetizers to share with my friends, but they took too long to come out. By the time we got our food, some of us had lost our appetite. I noticed other tables receiving priority and felt somewhat neglected. The ambiance is nice but it would’ve been much better if the service matched it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Fanous multiple times now, and it's always a pleasure. The food is consistently flavorful and authentic. The lamb chops are particularly good, and they really hit the mark. The hookah is also a great addition to the experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it great for social gatherings. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Afghan cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoy coming to Fanous when I have a craving for Afghan cuisine. Every visit has been a delightful experience. Their kebabs are fantastic, with a smoky char that enhances the flavors. I particularly liked the ambiance as it makes you feel like you are transported somewhere special. My only complaint would be the wait time for food, it can get a bit longer during busy hours. That said, it’s worth the wait for the quality that comes out of the kitchen! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fanous Bouche, I came here with my wife for a double date. The ambiance had a cozy feel, suitable for conversation. The hookah was flavorful, and we enjoyed a wonderful evening. The staff were personable and made us feel welcome. One issue though, the drinks took longer to arrive than expected. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I’d return, just hopefully a bit quicker next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Fanous was mostly good, but I felt that the serving sizes left something to be desired. I had the combo plate which was tasty, but I expected larger portions for the price. The ambiance was really nice, and it had a great vibe for hanging out with friends. The service was decent, although our server took a while to check on us after we were seated. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fanous has quickly become my favorite place to indulge in delightful Afghan cuisine. The fresh flavors are incredible, and the portions are most generous! I highly recommend trying their mint lemonade, it complements the meal perfectly. The service is typically great but can get a little slow during peak hours. I enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, especially when there’s live music! This place really knows how to make a dining experience enjoyable. Overall, a must-visit for anyone in the area.
