Urban Fraiche Restaurant

This Mediterranean scratch kitchen is an absolute gem! Every dish has flavors that are vibrant, authentic, and beautifully presented. The service is just as incredible as the food. Heba was attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. What really makes this place special is the owner/chef (Dean Waziry). His love and passion for his craft shows through in every plate that leaves the kitchen. He clearly cares deeply about both his food and his guests’ experience. He stopped by our table several times to check on us. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the cuisine and the hospitality feel this heartfelt. We’ll absolutely be back — highly recommend to anyone looking for outstanding Mediterranean food made with soul!

An Unforgettable Evening This restaurant is pure perfection—easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. The atmosphere is stunning: a beautiful blend of tropical lushness and Mediterranean elegance with vibrant blues, whites, greenery, and warm accents that feel luxurious yet relaxed. The food was outstanding—true scratch kitchen using only fresh, organic ingredients and no seed oils. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and executed to perfection. The lamb shank was a standout! Service was exceptional and unlike anywhere else: attentive, knowledgeable staff who explained every dish and ingredient with genuine enthusiasm. Dean, the owner/head chef, stopped by our table twice for thoughtful check-ins, ensuring everything was truly exceptional (and it was—his passion shines through). A talented belly dancer added a joyful, entertaining touch without overpowering the evening. If you’re seeking incredible food, impeccable hospitality, and a gorgeous setting, this place is a must. We’re already planning our return! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Urban Fraiche is a true gem in Phoenix! It’s rare to find a place so committed to health, no oils, no artificial sweeteners, and no sugar, yet the food is incredibly flavorful. I had the eggplant spaghetti and it was delicious, while my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. We also treated ourselves to their Turkish coffee, baklava, and the Syrian rice pudding which was absolutely amazing and a must-try! To top it off, having a fresh coconut on a warm afternoon was such a treat. The service was top-notch; our server was so attentive, and the Chef Dean Waziri personally came out to explain the menu, which made us feel so welcome. The peaceful, unique interior and the lovely vibe make this a must-visit. Bonus: Check out their little antique and garden shop a few streets down—it's just as charming!
