Excellent Shwarama and cabbage rolls! Yes, prices are higher, but you get better quality and halal for those who need it. I brought my family for Iftar and they very much enjoyed it. I highly recommend their strawberry lemonade as well. Flavors are excellent. Staff is friendly. This is not fast food so dont come expectly junk. You get well crafted , good quality and delicious food I will bring my family again. Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian options that are delicious Dietary restrictions: I and my family eat halal and this restaurant gives a great amount of flavor and provide the halal meat we need Kid-friendliness: I brought my whole family and we are a little louder than some and they were very kind to us.

Unjustifiably expensive prices. Ive grown up around Middle Eastern food for the better part of my teenage and adult life. Absolutely nothing justifies the costs being charged for whats on offer, often for food that is stale (grape leaves, Im looking at you). Average grade food at prices approaching $30 for a single shawarma (Gasp, this is virtually twice the price of a large shawarma from the infamous Caf Helen in central London) and $20 for hummus (essentially chickpeas, tahini and lemon juice!) including tax. Heck, even the so called Fares Fries are exorbitantly priced at over $11 for a small plate. Now the restaurant may justify all of the above by stating their use of the highest quality ingredients and rising supply chain costs being borne by a family run setup, but unless theyre using Le Bonnotte potatoes from France for their fries, Im not quite convinced. This is a standalone restaurant in McAllen, not Miami. This is Fares, not Nusr-Et. Despite rising prices for most items globally, we still have some of the most cost effective rental, labour and supply charges in the country here. Please ground yourselves like the Zaatar you use and come back down to Earth to more realistic prices. Share the beauty of the Middle Eastern culture with more people in the Valley rather than excluding them by providing mediocre food at prices only the very few can afford.
