Great tasting Mediterranean cuisine made with high quality ingredients. When I ate here for the first time, I thought it was just another casual sit down spot to get a quick bite but this place is actually a nice restaurant with some upscale vibes. The cost of the food reflects the ambiance as it's not exactly cheap, especially when you eat here for dinner but it's hard to deny the taste and the quality of the food. I usually get the filet mignon and the chicken as they both come out tender and very juicy. Everything else that comes with your protein - the pita bread, rice, veggies, and sauces are all on point as well. They also have great service and make sure you have everything you need. Danny, who was our server, was very attentive and helpful with all our requests and questions. All in all, this may be one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've ever eaten at and I definitely see my family and I becoming regulars here. read more

I had great Greek food in San Francisco several years ago and I've been looking for great Greek Food in Southern California ever since. Greek Bistro has a 4.8 review average with over 4000 reviews written, so it seemed like a great place to check out. I kept it simple this time! Ordered a saganaki, which was rich with savory flavor and flambeed tableside and I had a gyro that was very filling for a lunch! I need to come back to have more of their appetizers. They have a happy hour from 2:30-5:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, so that seems like a great day to come back and update my review! The saganaki was worth the trip and I look forward to having more here. read more

My mom says she really denied get chicken salad and we shared the babaganoush appetizer. Loved the babaganoush! It had smoked paprika on/in it and that made me keep going back for more. I'm not a huge fan of the colored lighting they use inside, but overall it's a nice but relaxed atmosphere. Their wine selection is a little limited & the ones I tried were just ok read more

After choosing Greek Bistro to celebrate a birthday, we made reservations and dropped in for dinner. The friendly staff quickly took our drink orders and returned with my Blue Moon and a frosty glass. Greek's menu had all sorts of Greek dishes; salads, plates, wraps and appetizers. There were so many wonderful choices, but I decided upon the gyro wrap and a side of seasoned fries. The gyro was the most substantial wrap I had ever ordered. It was deliciously large with plenty of lamb, greens, tomatoes, etc. It was fantastic, but honestly, I could have made due with half of it...lol. Paired with the Blue Moon, it was more than satisfying. The service is great, the food is great!...I'll be coming back to try some of their other dishes soon. read more

I've come here at least a couple of times with my parents. The food is really good, and the service is excellent. It's always difficult to judge these strip-mall places from the exterior, especially in Orange County, because the sign and the color of the building make it look very casual--and it is casual--but this is a real sit-down restaurant. You could very easily bring a date here without looking like a cheapskate. We've only been here at night, so the inside is very dark in my mind. Dark-as-in-romantic, yes, but also dark-as-in-you-might-not-see-all-of-your-food. Because of the darkness and the way the tables are set up, you have tons of privacy at your table, so this might be an ideal date spot, but maybe reserve it for a fourth or fifth date, or at least for someone you're really into. The first time we came, it wasn't long after things opened up after COVID, so we were skittish about eating inside. Although the patio was closed, they were very accommodating to let us eat outside. The heat lamp near our table didn't work very well, but it wasn't that cold, and our server was a champ. He kept coming outside to check on us even though I could tell by watching that he was very busy with his inside tables. We left a generous tip, which he well deserved. They have always made us feel very welcome. It's super conveniently located right off the freeway, although it can be easy to miss the entrance to the parking lot. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. The food quality is hazardous--the Greek chicken salad I ordered was spoiled and made me sick instantly. To make matters worse, the manager is unprofessional and argumentative. He offered zero empathy and refused to help with a refund. There is a total lack of accountability here, and the staff's entitled attitude makes the experience even worse. He suggested that I try to get my money back through DoorDash instead of offering me a refund himself. They treat their customers like scammers rather than valued guests and up-charge for everything. Incredibly rude staff and even worse food. I wouldn't be surprised if they intentionally put something in the food I ordered to make me sick. read more

"I mean we all knew the food would be good once we tired that heavenly Baba Ghanoush." "I'm not easy to please but this Baba Ghanoush makes me so happy" are the words that left my friends' mouths. The food was to die for. I cannot express how every aspect of the food was amazing: the Baba Ghanoush, Tzatziki, Gyro Meat, Rice, etc. All just wonderful. A bit pricey, but it will either fill you up or give you amazing left overs! Then the desserts were inexplainable. Their Napoleon an ice cream pastry dessert, fluffy puff pastry layered with sweet French vanilla cream, served alongside ice cream to drape on top adorned with a sweet topping elevating the vanilla some place new, was a delight to the tongue. Then their Greek Sunday was an extreme surprise but had the table fighting. Vanilla ice cream topped with Carmel drizzle, pistachio, and othering flavors, decorated by fried pita chips dusted with cinnamon sugar. (Which I must admit reminded me so heavily of some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Furthermore as they were leaving and the Sunday sat unfinished, I downed a fried pita chip because they were so good :P) It was such a wonderful evening here! By the way Danny was a charm! Super sweet, and almost got away with getting us all to get a dessert, and almost slipped by with getting someone to get another beer! A great energy and super patient with us. (And just since he asked, and was so sweet, I did create a Yelp account to fulfill his wish to post a review specifically on yelp and not a differing platform!) Make sure you go to the restaurant! So amazing! read more

This is really nice place to enjoy excellent Greek food, (though I have a,lot more to try) also the atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. Service has always been great and portion size good. They do have an outdoor patio but it's next to parking lot so might be an option for overflow nights. We do tend to get their kabobs which we have tried them all. Meat tender and tasty seasoned perfectly. Appetizers we have tried them all trio dips each very good and splurged once on the Saganati served at table side with flaming cheese and pita.

Food is good, service was okay, speed was disappointingly slow…read more I get that these places make their food to order so I expected a wait, but they have the word "express" in their business name so I had a false expectation. Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.

Persians are very picky and judgy when it comes to their cuisine. Everyone is a chef and of it doesn't bring back the nostalgia of your childhood at grandmas it doesnt pass the test. I judge a place based on their koobieh. Lets be honest, if your koobieh sucks, Houston we have a problem! Tonight, I decided to order the lamb shank with baghali polo, along with a family style appetizer consisting of mast-o-khiar, hummas, kashkeh-bademjoon, salad shirazi, and a side of mausto-mousir. My cousin ordered Tahdig for the table with different toppings. Everyone at the table ordered Soltanis, Chicken Barg and other options. Lets talk about ambiance: when you enter you are greeted by ornate art, calm atmosphere and fresh flowers. Love the lighting, its soft and inviting. Pouya our server was kind and friendly. He single handedly helped manover a "game of thrones" type style between my cousin and myself trying to sneak in our credit-cards before the meal even started so it would be taken care of ahead of time. The persian bill paying struggle is real. IYKYK. Lets just say, this girl won that one against my guy cousin with the parents watching dinner and show. Hehhee. The highlight for me was the bread ,butter,onions served first. I was hungry and the bread was made in house and fresh. It was warm, soft and paired well with the onions, and butter. I ordered more throughout the meal to eat with the mausto-mousir ( shallot and yogurt dip). Hands down out of the appetizer, the tahdigh ( crispy rice), khashk bademjoon ( eggplant dip), cucumber dip, shallot with yogurt dip were the stars of the night. The beef shank with Baghali polo was top on my list. The dill/lima beans rice paired well with the lamb shank. It was tender, tasty ( didnt have a gamey taste, or smell) and that says something for a girl born here. Kids like me born here, usually dont touch lamb because of the gamey, smell . So eating it at Hatam was a great experience for me. I would order this again. Our family had a great night out in a chill environment, devoid of any triggers for me that may have caused some health issues and it was a needed break. The ADA parking and easy access is also appreciated. Overall, I would recommend Hatam. I found out from my mom, that Hatam has also been the "go to" caterer for her parties so, that says something about quality of food and meeting expectations my mom has in place.10/10 Please note doing 1/2 salad and 1/2 rice will be $3.00 extra.

Hatam offers the best dishes that you truly could not go wrong with any of them. Their koobideh is so incredibly juicy and flavorful, it is a staple during every visit. Their tahdig is crisp to perfection and the stew that comes with it is so flavorful that i think about it at least twice a week. The service is PHENOMENAL, just recently that waitress that was helping us inside was so kind and attentive that we were taken aback at how much care she put into her work. Beautiful restaurant in every way, they have earned a lifelong customer in me !

When we arrived, we were the only people in the shop. The owner was extremely friendly and started a long and fun conversation about pro football ("soccer") and his sons' team and their games. He gave us a couple of small sample plates while we waited for our ordered food, and told us to grab fountain drinks too at no charge. Our ordered food then arrived, and as we ate he switched the conversation to the lack of sports and business opportunities during the Covid pandemic and how he proudly didn't get vaccinated. I had been prioritized for a vaccination due to my profession and gotten it, and as soon as I mentioned that (in conversation, not confrontationally cos it was so long ago anyway and the subject doesn't need to be divisive) his mood and attitude to my partner and I soured. The conversation abruptly and awkwardly ceased, and we felt very unwelcome. Sure enough, when I went to pay the bill we were charged for the supposedly-free fountain drinks, and I didn't feel I could risk furthering ill-feeling towards us by disputing it. We left, regretting our choice of dinner. The food itself was at least good (albeit not outstanding compared to other local Mediterranean options) hence the star rating I've still given, but with the extra fountain drink cost that we wouldn't otherwise have incurred it turned into an expensive meal. In addition, and needless to say, the negative interaction left a very sour taste. I can't see myself going back. TL:dr; Go for the food, or get delivery, but beware that offers of 'free' items may not remain so.

Namoura. A delicious super sweet dessert!

The experience of dining out extends far beyond the quality of the food served; it encapsulates the atmosphere, the decor, and most crucially, the service. In this regard, the restaurant I am about to review offers a sublime experience that truly stands in a league of its own. All credit to this is due to Rob, the incredible staff member who has redefined the meaning of exceptional service. From the moment you enter the premises, there's an unmistakable aura of genuine warmth and welcoming that seems almost tailor-made for you. This comes from none other than Rob, a stalwart of customer service, who has an uncanny knack for remembering regular customers and their preferences. It is such that by the time you've barely set foot inside, your favorite order is almost ready to be served. This is not a one-off incident but a regular occurrence that illustrates his dedication and commitment to personalized service. Rob is not just a server but an epitome of exceptional hospitality. His keen attention to detail, combined with his intuitive understanding of his customers, elevates the dining experience from simply good to extraordinary. Rob takes the time to ensure that everything from the seating arrangement to the presentation of the food is just perfect, further adding to the overall charm of the experience. What sets Rob apart is his authenticity. There's no pretense about him. He is a genuine human being who genuinely cares about his customers' experiences. His professionalism is coupled with a personal touch, which is rare and precious in the industry today. It is clear that he doesn't merely see his role as a job, but as a medium to spread joy and make a difference in people's lives, one meal at a time. The food, of course, is exemplary. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, each dish is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. But it's the service led by Rob that truly makes each meal an unforgettable experience. In an era where customer service seems to be taking a back seat, Rob brings it roaring back into the spotlight, reminding us all what a difference an individual's dedication can make to an experience. He is the heart and soul of this restaurant, making each visit an event to look forward to. If you're seeking a dining experience that blends stellar food with even more impressive service, this is the place to be. The ten-star service offered here is not just a claim, but a promise consistently fulfilled. I would highly recommend making a trip to this place to experience Rob's unforgettable hospitality for yourself. You won't be disappointed, and you will almost certainly find yourself coming back for more. read more

If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further than Greek Bistro. From the moment we walked in, we were met with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a fantastic meal. We started with the pita bread served with babaganoush and tzatziki, and let me tell you--this was the stuff of dreams. The pita was fresh, pillowy, and warm, pairing beautifully with the rich, smoky babaganoush and the creamy, tangy tzatziki. Every bite felt like a celebration of Mediterranean flavors. For the main course, the Pastitsio was an absolute standout. Perfectly prepared, it boasted a delightful crispness on the outside while maintaining a warm, soft, and satisfying texture on the inside. It was comfort food elevated to perfection. The gyro was another highlight. The meat was tender and juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of char on the outside, giving it an irresistible smokiness. The balance of seasoning and texture was flawless. Adding to the experience was their happy hour, which made this indulgence surprisingly affordable. It's not often you find such high-quality food at such a reasonable price, especially during peak hours. Finally, the service deserves a special mention. The staff was efficient and incredibly friendly, striking that perfect balance of being attentive without being intrusive. Our needs were met almost before we realized we had them, and the check was brought promptly when requested--no delays, no hassle. Greek Bistro has set the bar high for Mediterranean dining. With phenomenal food, excellent service, and a great value, this is a spot I'll be returning to again and again. A definite 5-star experience! read more

I had an absolutely fantastic lunch today at Greek Bistro, and it's easy to see why this place has an almost perfect rating - it's definitely a 5-star experience! The parking lot is a decent size, shared with other businesses, and I had no trouble at all finding a spot right near the restaurant. We had a 1 PM reservation for four, and the host was super friendly, greeting us warmly and confirming our booking. We were promptly seated in a comfortable booth, and our drink orders were taken right away, with our food order following shortly after. The food, across the board, was truly exceptional. I ordered the gyro wrap with fries, and those fries took me by surprise - the seasoning was incredible, and the texture and crunch were absolutely perfect. But then you get to the gyro, the true star of the meal. Everything in it was fantastic. The meat was perfectly tender, not tough at all, and you could tell all the ingredients were fresh, giving it a wonderful homemade taste. My wife got the chicken plate and said it was just as delicious. Our friends even ordered an extra side of seasoned fries for the table because they were that good! Our waiter was incredibly attentive, making sure our waters were refilled and checking on our meals to ensure everything was tasting great. We love an attentive waiter, YASSS! While we didn't get dessert, I know I'll have to go back to try something sweet. If I lived closer, I would be here all the time. This meal will forever live on in my memories, and I truly hope I can either revisit soon or bring more friends here because it was so delicious and left me feeling perfectly content, not overly stuffed. read more

Greek Bistro is conveniently located just off the I-5 in Laguna Hills, making it easily accessible. The parking situation varies depending on the time of day, but there's generally plenty of space available. The area is bustling with popular businesses and restaurants, which is always a good indicator of foot traffic for places like this. When I arrived, the restaurant was fairly quiet, but it filled up quickly, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The seating arrangement is spacious, adding to the comfortable, family-friendly vibe. On this visit, I was fortunate to be served by Dika, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. He provided excellent recommendations from the menu and shared insights into some of their standout dishes. For an appetizer, I opted for the Dolma, which turned out to be a great choice. It was skillfully prepared, served with fresh pita bread and a generous portion of tzatziki. The Dolma was moist, with a nice balance of meat and other ingredients. My only critique would be the seasoning, which was quite mild; a touch more spice would have elevated the dish. For my main course, I chose a combination plate featuring skewers of ground beef, chicken, and grilled vegetables, paired with rice, pickled vegetables, and more pita bread. The proteins and vegetables were cooked perfectly, retaining their moisture and served hot. However, much like the Dolma, the seasoning on the meats was understated. I had hoped the ground beef, in particular, would showcase the bold flavors typical of Mediterranean cuisine, but it was quite subtle. read more

This Greek restaurant serves up some of the most delicious gyros, lamb chops, and tzatziki sauce, all made with the freshest ingredients. Every dish is bursting with authentic flavors, and the quality truly stands out. The dolma is an absolute must-try, and the grilled chicken wings are incredibly tasty, leaving me wanting more. The restaurant itself is spotless, with a clean and neat dining area that creates a welcoming atmosphere. I was impressed by the upbeat ambiance, complemented by pleasant music and thoughtfully arranged furnishings, including paper table coverings that add a charming touch. There are plenty of seating options, both indoor and outdoor, allowing for a comfortable dining experience no matter the weather. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. Our server was efficient, polite, and humble, clearly dedicated to providing top-notch service. It was evident that they take pride in creating a positive experience for their customers.

Me and my friend recently had the pleasure of having lunch at The Greek Bistro, and it was an experience that truly exceeded our expectations, largely due to the outstanding service provided by our waiter, Rob. What really set Rob apart was his attentive and personalized service. He had an exceptional ability to be present whenever we needed him, yet he was never overbearing. Whether it was refilling our glasses at just the right moment or checking in to ensure our meals were to our liking, Rob's attention to detail was impeccable. The Greek Bistro itself boasts a cozy and inviting ambiance, and the food is nothing short of amazing. However, it was Rob's exceptional service that truly made our visit memorable. He is a testament to the high standards of customer service and hospitality that The Greek Bistro upholds. I highly recommend The Greek Bistro to anyone looking for a fantastic lunch experience. Be sure to ask for Rob; his professionalism and charm will undoubtedly add to your enjoyment of the delicious Greek fare. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

## **A Hidden Gem in Laguna Hills!** If you're looking for a spot that manages to be both incredibly delicious and actually good for you, **Greek Bistro** is it. My girlfriend and I stopped in recently, and it's easily our new favorite local spot. ### **What We Ordered** * **The Branzino:** This was the star of the show. It was cooked to perfection--light, flaky, and had that signature "clean" taste that you only get with high-quality, fresh fish. * **The Healthy Plate:** My girlfriend opted for this, and it definitely lived up to the name. It was packed with flavor without feeling heavy or greasy. "Awesome" was the word of the night. ### **The Vibe & Service** The entire meal felt very fresh and authentic. Beyond the food, the service really elevated the experience. A huge shoutout to **Danny**--he took great care of us, made excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was spot on. **Pro Tip:** If you want a meal that leaves you feeling energized rather than in a food coma, get the branzino! We'll definitely be back soon. Thanks again, Danny! read more

I really don't know what to say. This was literally the best restaurant i have been to. And thats saying a lot for me. I am of traditional greek upbringing and i know if a greek restaurant is made up of family. Literally every Greek restaurant I've been to they don't have really great food they always mix Greek food with other cuisines. And they are all franchises who don't savor the importance of connection with the customers. Thats why Greek bistro should get a five star rating. The way I decide if a Greek restaurant is really good is if the food is good and more importantly the service and the ambience. There was a really nice guy who told me about the family business. And i was shocked to see the whole family working in the kitchen and on the service.I had the gyro with a side of greek fries and i was literally about to cry tears of joy on how good it was. The fries were cooked to perfection with a nice crispy texture. The gyro was just like heaven in my mouth. This will be my go to place for a long time. I love you Greek Bistro read more

We really like this place and find ourselves coming back regularly. They offer a classic Greek menu with a healthy twist, making it easy to find something satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The menu features a nice variety of fresh salads, gyros, shrimp bowls, chicken bowls, and traditional Greek plates, so there is something for everyone. One thing that sets them apart is their selection of Greek wines, which pairs nicely with the food and adds to the authentic Mediterranean experience. The ingredients always seem fresh, and the portions are generous without being excessive. The restaurant does get a little busy after 6 pm, which is a good sign that it is popular with locals. Fortunately, there is plenty of parking available, and they also offer outdoor seating, which is especially enjoyable on nice evenings. If you are looking for flavorful Greek food with healthier options, quality ingredients, and a relaxed atmosphere, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

My wife and I just had our third delicious meal here in the past two weeks. We enjoy the outdoor seating and their welcoming of our dog. The interior is very contemporary and beautiful. The service is great with Vinnie and Brent being very knowledgeable and attentive. The food is amazing and the variety of menu items do not let us get bored with "the same old thing." We love the chicken dishes either in skewers on the chicken plate or in the chicken wrap or in the chicken salad. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and broiled and it is very tender and moist. The Greek salads are very good with an excellent dressing that is not overpowering. Also, the babaganoush, hummus, tzatziki(?), and tahini are all wonderful. We had late lunches and were promptly seated outside. The staff told us that they get extremely busy after six PM every evening. We unreservedly recommend this gem. read more

This place used to be our go-to spot, but after our last visit, we won't be coming back. We went for dinner on Friday, and it was such a disappointing experience. The restaurant was filled with a burning smell, and the air circulation was awful--it was honestly uncomfortable. Even though most of the tables were empty, they tried to seat us right by the front door, which didn't make any sense. The waiter wasn't welcoming at all, and to top it off, the owner decided to vacuum the floor while we were there, kicking up dust everywhere. The food didn't save the night either. The falafel was dry and greasy, the gyro meat was overcooked, tough, and chewy, and the bread wasn't fresh--it was greasy too. It's such a shame because we used to love this place, but after this visit, we're done. read more

Had a beautiful birthday lunch for my mother here. We had a large party with the rest of our family and this place accommodated to our needs very well! Our Server Tim recommended some amazing appetizers and dishes for us to try. I highly recommend trying the Filet, and Lamb plate along with the Saganaki! Tim was very patient with all of our little kids and made the dinner special with a complimentary desert for my mothers birthday! I see other reviews talking about high prices, yes it is a little pricy but in my opinion you get what you pay for! The food is very good and fresh and the portions on the plates are large to where most of us ended up having leftovers to take home. 5/5 stars for the service and food.

It's essentially a casual pasta, salad, sandie joint. PESTO CHICKEN SUNDRIED TOMATO WRAP: -- small portion but probably fair for current inflation -- a good wrap with nice balance of ingredients -- I would get it again as a healthy choice -- more pesto would never earn a complaint here RATING = A The wife got a pasta dish and thought it was fairly good. To-go service was efficient. We lounged on a sofa while we waited.

Since it was my first time trying Lebanese cuisine, I wasn't sure what to order. So one of the…read moremember recommended a few dishes, and every single recommendation was spot on. The beef was definitely the highlight of the meal(MUST TRY!!!) It was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, it was so delicious I could've eaten it with just a bowl of rice. The burger was another pleasant surprise. It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I also tried Lemon and apple sodas made with 100% natural beet sugar, which was something I'd never had before. The sweetness tasted much cleaner and lighter than a regular Coke, and it paired really well with the food. I was lucky enough to visit on the day of their Summer Concert, so after dinner I sat outside and enjoyed the live music. Families were relaxing on the lawn, kids were playing, people were walking their dogs along the nearby trails, and everyone was simply enjoying the beautiful summer evening. The peaceful atmosphere made the whole experience even more memorable. If you're curious about Lebanese food and looking for a great place for your first experience, I highly recommend starting here.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a warm, authentic feel. The service was fast, and our food came out quickly even though we ordered several different dishes. We started with the Combo (Cheese & Zaatar) Lebanese Manoucheh. It reminded us of a Lebanese-style pizza with delicious and savory flavors. The Tabouleh was fresh, light, and refreshing. One of our favorites was the Arayes. The beef was incredibly flavorful and paired perfectly with the hummus. We also ordered the Beef Shawerma Arabi, and the shawarma was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. For dessert, we had the Nutella Wrap, which is made with saj bread and reminded us of a crepe. They were very generous with the Nutella, making it rich, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Overall, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Between the authentic atmosphere, fast service, and delicious food, Zait and Zaatar is definitely worth checking out if you're craving Lebanese cuisine. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

I usually get the Eggs Benedict as does my wife except she substitutes sausage instead of ham. They have great hashbrowns and what they call "oh those potatoes" which is a green pepper and onion and potato concoction which is also popular. My kids typically get French toast or pancakes and gobble it all down. I feel like the same servers and Cooks have been there since I started going eight years ago. The ambience is what you'd expect with a lot of old pictures on the walls. The last time we went was Monday and it was so busy I couldn't believe it. There was actually about a 40 minute wait to sit down for a party at four. Parties of two were able to sit down a little quicker because they have lots of two tops. I've only ordered breakfast, although they have plenty of sandwiches and salads. I saw a stack of onion rings piled high that looked pretty tasty. The menu has a wide variety that will satisfy just about anybody.
