A warmed pita stuffed with chicken, a yogurt sauce (did not seem to be Tzatziki, but was good) with lettuce and onions. It's location is a small strip mall around the corner from a bagel place and Hannaford. Parking was adequate. Staff were quick to fill the order. It's a place we would go back to. Go get lunch!

What a gem located near me on Upper Union Street in Schenectady. First time to visit!…read more Ordered: Chicken Chapli with Pita instead of fries (choice) Chicken and Lamb platter with Pita Swarma Wrap Received generous portions of flavorful Mediterranean food. The Chicken and Lamb were moist and tender. I am not a lamb lover, but this lamb could change my mind. The rice was spiced mildly and tasted great with the meats. The pita was cut into small pieces, but I would have preferred a whole or half pita. I will ask next time. The owner supplied me with three different sauces on the side to try ranging from mild to spicy (green one). The Chicken Chapli was a cut up well seasoned chicken patty. A few meat combinations are available. (See pic of Menu) The Swarma Wrap was moist and a little messy to eat since I sliced it into two portions. It had a medium spiced sauce and small salad pieces such as cucumber. Not my favorite. The owner was friendly and thanked me for my business. He said they cater for as few as ten people if interested. I commented on the long hours they are open (10 am to 1:15 am), and he responded with a smile, "We're from the City." There are several tables to dine in if wanted. Lots of natural light from the large front windows makes the place inviting. The pick up counter with kitchen behind it is beyond the tables. The walls are decorated nicely, and the place screamed CLEAN. Parking is in front, and the restaurant is easy to access. There are no steps to enter. I look forward to ordering again soon, especially when family visits. Quality, healthy well prepared food to enjoy at home. Please check out my photos to get a sense of the experience.

Zaitoon seemed to be interesting. So, we (a party of four) stopped by around 6pm. The ambiance is great: contemporary with natural decor elements and comfortable seats. They also have outdoor seating. Their menu appeared to be extensive. I asked for recommendations and immediately she captured my attention with a Jordanian dish with lamb shank over rice. One of us got that and I asked for the lamb shank over garden salad. The two others ordered grilled chicken wrapped in pita. We all loved our food. I especially enjoyed their White Sauce, which I think was Lebanese garlic sauce. They had something called Falooda for dessert. It's hard to explain it: combination of ice cream, pistachio, frozen vermicelli. All I know is that it was great! Prices were very reasonable. Service was great.

When we first sat down we were brought small cups of soup and shortly after were brought platters of chopped salad. For our meals, I had lamb over hummus with fresh baked flat bread and my husband had a bubbling hot lamb stew in a clay pot also with flat bread. Other people at our table had fish, lamb, and chicken dishes; everyone enjoyed everything they had. The portions were generous and the service was wonderful. We also finished our meal with complimentary Yemeni tea, which was lovely, and ordered baklava and syrup soaked semolina cake. My husband liked the cake best, and although I liked both I thought the baklava was divine! We're excited for another amazing restaurant and will happily be back again.

So, we ordered the Channa Papree as the appetizer. Dinner choices were the chicken tikka masala bowl and the chicken bowl...both are served with salads. We were told that it takes about 25 minutes to prepare the tikka masala (in case we didn't have the time to wait). We did! It was Saturday and we grabbed a strawberry lassi to enjoy while we waited. There is a nice seating area near the entrance so we hung out in the big armchairs. The lassi was good; it could have been blended more as most lassi concoctions that I've had are very creamy with just the right amount of yogurt tang....this one was "ice-chunky". But it was still tasty. As promised, the meals were ready to go in about 25 minutes. They traveled well and were still hot when we got home. I really enjoyed the channa appetizer; lots of different flavor layers throughout with just a subtle hint of spice. I tasted the chicken tikka masala; well spiced cubed chicken over basmati rice (same rice that I had with my chicken bowl). Some of the chicken pieces were really big and the portion was definitely generous. My sliced chicken was also really good - different flavor profile from the tikka. Since the salad is served in the same container, it gets pretty warm....but it saves having a separate to-go box for a small salad. They also have an entire rolled ice cream selection - plus chai-inspired hot drinks and other desserts available. I wanted to try the naan and asked if we could order a side of it. Unfortunately, they still considered it "lunch" time and couldn't sell me a piece or two of naan. I found that a little weird, but I chalk it up to being a fairly new business. Plus, the girls that were working in the front - I'm guessing - are not related to the owners. Friendly and competent enough, but always embrace an opportunity to upsell! I'll be sure to check this place out again soon.
