What can I say about the brothers who owned this establishment? Talk about customer service and talk about making everyone, regardless of who they are feel like they're the most valued family member that ever walked this earth. They're genuine interest in their customers as commendable. Tonight I tried something different one of the burritos which I have to say was outstanding! The chicken was so rich with flavor. The only thing I would suggest make it bigger ha ha. My friend had the magic carpet ride vegetarian stews and it was so good. he ate the entire three bowls. He has definitely said this is now his favorite! This is a true gem that no matter when you go or how often you will go the service and the food will always be phenomenal

Honest .. period. I was having a delicious dinner and invertently forgot a blank envelope with $80. Inside. I thought I may have accidently left envelope in friends SUV. But no. This envelope was discovered on table. The owners are very hands on with their customers and they pride themselves on knowing their Customers. Long story short , the owners texted my family member that frequents, and let know that I accidentally left money envelope on table. I was updated by awesome cousin, that my money envelope was safe and waiting for my pickup. Honest and going above and beyond In returning my money. Thank You Fast Eddie's.

We tried Fast Eddy's off of Baymeadows a few months after they opened - I can't believe I haven't reviewed yet. They are in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. The place was very clean and the owner greeted us immediately. When I'm indecisive, I always like to ask what the server is having for lunch. Because the owner was our server, we got a full run down and he shared his favorites. We got the booreg chicken curry egg rolls. The outer shell was a little thicker than a wonton and had max crunch - the inside was awesome. The foodie in me was only wishing was that they were bigger. They were served with the traditional garlic sauce and mango sauce (called amba and was new for me) which was interesting tangly but balanced nicely with sweet flavors. I got the chicken curry and it was super filling and felt like home. The spices brought a comfortable warmth that I couldnt get enough of. My husband had the Big Beef Eddy and will probably never get anything else when we come here. He grew up in the Middle East and the flavors were spot on, the bread was soft but firm and held the juices in nicely. The place was started by two brothers. We asked and found out they've only been open about four months but this experience felt like they've been open for years! They knew customers names. Gave a nice welcome to everyone that came in and had great communication in the kitchen. We'll be back... a lot!

I love rock music. I love middle eastern foods. I really, really love Fast Eddy's. I've been here a few times now and should go more because every time, I think, "Dang, that's delicious." Most recently, I stopped in for a falafel sandwich with onion rings. Their falafel, which they've told me is a recipe by their late sister, is top notch, and I say that as someone who's eaten a lot of it. It's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. They also do a great job on the onion rings; they're crisp, not soggy, and you can bite into the onion without the whole slice sliding out. Despite being full, I got the delicious baklava for dessert. In the past, I've loved their hummus, their tabouli, and their white bean fahsulia. They have plenty of vegetarian options, which is great. They also have some "New World" dishes if you're not a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, although I'd really suggest trying some of their classic dishes, because they do it really well. The service is out of this world. Many of the folks are greeted by name -- and frequently with hugs -- as they come in, showing how much of a loyal following Fast Eddy's has. Regardless of how often you're in, you definitely get the vibe that everyone wants you to have a great meal. And as others have noted, of course, the rock music and decor is a treat for anyone who's a fan of the genre. Definitely go here. You'll want to come back.

Phenomenal food and service! All the workers were super nice and explained all of the different options and upgrades on the menu and recommendations, what pairs well with each other, etc. You can absolutely feel the passion in the food that they create! I got the beef Tikka skewer and upgraded the white rice to the biryani and it was amazing. Well seasoned and the flavors were perfect. The beef wasn't tough and had a nice char. I also tried the chips and hummus and the Booreg egg rolls and the flavors and textures on both were great. Crunchy and delicious! Even the Fatoush was super good and I'm not a big salad fan in general. The food here is so good I would go out of my way to visit again!
