Fast-casual Middle Eastern spot near Union Square serving generous, flavorful shawarma and falafel with standout sauces; great value, limited seating, and occasional dryness or stock-outs.
Fanoos delivers reliable Middle Eastern fast-casual dining with strong food quality highlighted by juicy shawarma, crispy falafel, and standout garlic sauce, plus attentive, friendly service and impressive speed. However, occasional consistency issues with dryness and a cramped, takeout-oriented space prevent grade A territory. Fair pricing and generous portions make it a solid neighborhood choice near Union Square, though not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Limited seating; best for takeout during rush times
