My go-to spot for authentic Mediterranean food in Baltimore…read more I like to order online and pick up my food to go usually, but I have also dined in. It's a bit dark and outdated inside, and they do not sell alcohol. Their shawarma is great, I love their chicken shawarma wrap with fries. They also have a mint lemonade which is extremely refreshing.

I always walked passed Zaatar and never stopped in but we needed a later…read moredinner the other day and with Zaatar being one of the only spots open (why does everything close so early in Baltimore!?) we stopped into Zaatar. I had the mixed shish grill and truly enjoyed it! I am not typically a steak or lamb person but both the steak and lamb shish kabobs were great! Service was on point and friendly and the ambiance was perfectly casual.

All I can say is WOW. My dining partner and I had such an amazing experience here. First of all,…read morethe restaurant is gorgeous inside. We had an earlier dinner reservation so it wasn't as crowded at the beginning but was quite busy at the end. We tried a couple different cocktails and I loved both of mine - Ashta Affair and Asfar So Good. The Ashta Affair was sweet and creamy and the Asfar So Good was deliciously refreshing. My friend really enjoyed his Old Fashioned Date and had a fun experience trying the El Massaya Arak. For appetizers, we ordered Muhamara and Mousakhan Chicken Rolls. The Muhamara came with pita and was such a great dip. The chicken rolls were equally as good with their own sumac labneh dip we enjoyed. For entrees, we shared the Braised Lamb Shank and Makloubeh. The portions were large and the meat was tender. Neither were over seasoned and were absolutely delicious. We couldn't finish it all and saved the rest for leftovers - yum! We wanted to try their dessert and ending up getting the Ashta Bil Asal and Ruz Bil Karaz. The Ashta Bil Asal had cotton candy which made it a fun dessert to try and the Ruz Bil Karaz had a great caramelization coating. Neither were overly sweet which we preferred. It was such a great ending to our meal. I absolutely loved my experience here. Our server, Miriam, was friendly and attentive. We even chatted with the GM, Iman, who also made sure we were provided a great first experience. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone who's looking for a boujee but amazing time!

We started with Arabic coffee and the Harra Wala cocktail--both were really good. The coffee was strong and flavorful, and the cocktail was unique and refreshing. For food, we ordered batata harra, beetroot hadiqa, lentil soup, saffron pita pie, and saffron rice. Everything was solid, but the saffron pita pie and batata harra were probably my favorites. The lentil soup was super comforting too. For dessert, we got the raspberry sorbet and baklava--perfect way to end the meal. The sorbet was light and refreshing, and the baklava was sweet and flaky. Service was great. Our server made sure we enjoyed our meal and was available to explain the menu options and checking on time to time if we need anything. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely go back!

Everything was a dream! We ordered the Mediterranean sampler that had a great variety of items from their menu, stuffed grape leaves, and a kebab wrap. The sampler alone shared between two people was super filling! Service was quick and the staff were extremely friendly. I absolutely cannot wait to go back! It's a smaller space with several 4 top tables and some seats at a bar. I did inquire whether they would be able to accommodate a larger group than 4 and they told me it would be no problem. I will definitely be bringing my friends and family to enjoy in the near future! Some of the best food I've had in York. Thank you, Levant!

Excellent Palestinian cuisine from a family run business!…read more I tried the muttabal and grape leaves and a bit of the moussaka. Flavor and texture were spot on. Keep in mind that these dishes are prepared slightly differently than, for example, what you might have tried if you have been to a Greek or Lebanese restaurant before and tried the same things. I recommend making a reservation. The shop is family run so leanly staffed.

Sweet potato falafel was crispy on the outside and tender inside, dipped in tzatziki, with perfect seasonings. Next up, wings were PERFECTLY done, topped with feta. Dolmades were bright and shiny and made me happy. For dessert we had Galaktoboureko, a custard pie with flaky phyllo drenched in syrup. YUM! Ok, GO and say hi to Saul!

I ordered both the shawarma wrap and the beef kebab wrap. Both were good, filling, and hit the spot, especially when you're craving something quick and satisfying. Flavor-wise it was enjoyable, just not mind-blowing, which is why I went with four stars instead of five. Service was fast, staff was helpful, the prep area looked clean, and prices were reasonable for what you get. Definitely a good option if you want a quick Middle Eastern-style wrap without breaking the bank.

The staff were so sweet and helpful, making the whole order and pickup process smooth and enjoyable. The owner was especially accommodating and welcoming, which made us want to come back even more. I genuinely can't say enough good things about this place -- highly recommend!!

The food came out a little slow though but worth it. Starters: Brussel Sprouts: 5/5 delicious and made well. The skin lightly fried but not charred. The dish balance with pieces of bacon and the cheese plays well with the balsamic vinegar. Rib rolls: 4/5 The shredded short ribs could be a bit more moist and flavorful but pairs very well the horseradish aioli. Chicken Alfredo: 5/5 likely on the of the best Alfredo I have had. Grilled chicken was perfect not too dry and flavorful and the noodles cooked to perfection. The sauce was flavorful but not too heavy with cream like most places. Meat Lover Pizza: 4/5 Solid pizza! Well balanced and not overly salty. French Onion Patty Melt: 5/5 Perfect medium cook and delicious. Not too salty. Onions savory and sweet. Perfect crunch of the bread. Chicken Caprese: 4/5 It was good. Pesto brought a nice brightness to balance the heaviness of the fried chicken. Overall: 5/5 a great place that delivers well on their food. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes. You don't leave feeling overall full due to the richness of the dishes

Nestled in a little plaza in the Owings Mills area sits the Mediterranean inspired, Hummus Republic. Very similar to Cava, however, I feel the flavors differ a bit. They offer salads, wraps, and bowls which you customize to your heart's desire. Since I'm a girl who loves a bowl of food that's what I opted for. Hummus Republic had so many topping options from the rice and lentil selections to the protein, veggies, and dressings you can choose. The young lady assisting me was so helpful. Offering samples of various items so I could get a taste of what I liked before adding it to my bowl. I really enjoyed that your protein of choice is cooked when ordered versus sitting in trays on the service line. And I must admit I think I prefer the hummus at Hummus Republic over the hummus and dips at Cava. The harissa hummus was a sure win in my book. Great service, tasty food, and a customizable menu are all things I love when grabbing a quick lunch or dinner. I can't wait for my next visit to Hummus Republic to see what I can create.

Extremely Disappointed -- Loyal Customer Treated Poorly:…read more I've been a loyal customer at Yesh for years, even held my Sheva Brachos here and used to come weekly. But after today's experience, I won't be returning unless the situation is made right. The person preparing my shawarma was clearly new and overfilled the salad, leaving no room for the full portion of meat I paid for. I politely asked her to remove some salad so she could add the rest of the meat, and before she could even respond, the mashgiach abruptly stepped in and refused in a rude, dismissive way. His tone was completely uncalled for, especially when I was calmly trying to explain that I just wanted what I paid for. Not only was I shorted on the meat, but I was treated with total disrespect. That kind of behavior drives away loyal customers. The mashgiach was out of line and should not be interacting with paying customers, frankly, he should be replaced if Yesh wants to keep its good name and stay in business. At the very least, I expect Yesh to make this right with a proper shawarma meal, meat-filled as it should have been, along with the fries and drink I ordered, on the house. That's the bare minimum for how this situation should be handled. Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it.
