    Lebanese Bride
    Martin Z.

    Storefront bakery with simple indoor and outdoor tables. The staff is friendly and helpful; make you feel at home and don't rush you to leave. We had the Hot Halaby Honey and the Lebanese Bride. I'm not crazy about any sweetness on flatbread, my mother would have cut us out of the will if we ordered Hawaiian pizza (pineapple and ham). However, I liked the Hot Halaby Honey more than I thought I would, it wasn't super sweet. The Lebanese bride was like getting a Greek salad on a pizza and that is not a bad thing, it was delicious. I had a lemonade that has an orange flavor to it and it was very refreshing. I wanted it to be bigger; they should have an American size. Authentic music served with your meal.

    Z&Z staff are always happy and helpful. Normally we dine in but today I ordered online for pick up since Alonsa Mourning was back for the week. Alonsa Mourning: Aaji's Food's tomato Lonsa adds a sweet and spicy profile to the cheese layered on top of their bread. Glad they brought this back for the week after the one day special a few months back! Hot Halaby Honey: favorite of our household and they accommodate by putting the Aleppo pepper on the side for our kid who finds it too spicy (it's not actually spicy). Classic: Za'atar and olive oil? It's a blend of herbs (thyme, sumac?) and sesame seeds. One day we will try more of their items. I spotted some new salads. If you follow their Instagram, you can view information about specials and events!

    Come here if you want to try something new! I wanted to have manoushe and had been eyeing this spot. It's relatively small - there's around maybe 6 tables at max in there. You order at counter and it's out in a jiffy! I liked the Lahm Bi Ajeen and the classic. The orange blossom lemonade is to die for, with a big ice cube. I would buy a gallon of that. You can also head to the coffee shop next door or get an ice cream on the other side. Start your morning one day visit Z&Z. It also makes you happy to support a local dad and son shop in the area.

    Delicious! Love it here, the Hot Halaby Honey is outstanding and the key lime pie is one of the best I've ever had! Please go and support this family owned establishment, they're lovely and their curation and creation of this space is so thoughtful.

    Who has been gate keeping this spot from me? I've been getting Carmen's ices for years, but had no idea. The dough tastes like the bread from Yellow. Is it pizza? Is it flatbread? Who cares. Delicious. Lemonade was amazing too. Employees were nice. Store was clean. Food was fast. Great spot.

    We had such a wonderful time at Z&Z today! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. Since it was our first visit, the associate was so kind as to explain the entire menu. The explanation was clear and thorough. The presentation was just perfect, which really helped us decide what to order. There are both inside and outside seating options. The food arrived in about 5-10 minutes, and two associates brought it outside to us. They even surprised us with a complimentary plain cheese manoushe for our first visit! WOW! The manoushe was absolutely delicious. We're definitely planning to return and share this amazing spot with our friends and family in the Rockville neighborhood (Woodley Park, Nelson Street). Thank you so much, Z&Z! Keep up the fantastic work!

    Z&Z Manoushe Bakery brings a really cozy concept to the area. The decor is very cute and welcoming, the staff were nice, and the wait wasn't too long at all. Everything also looked beautiful when it came out, the presentation was amazing. I ordered the Toum Raider, and while I loved the idea and freshness, the za'atar was a bit heavy-handed for my taste, making it lean slightly too salty/bitter. That said, the quality of the ingredients definitely came through. I'd absolutely come back, but next time I'd order something with more cheese or cream to help balance out the strong za'atar flavor.

    Pop-Up day 11/4 before the crowd

    I was just here not that long ago chomping on a Chicken Shawarma Flatbread (one of my favorites here) until I accidentally came across a post on their IG page taking it back to the days of "Chicken Basket's" Steak & Cheese sub - the business before Z&Z in which their Employee of the Month had a hand in. It was a pop-up just for a few hours on 1 day only (11/4) and I made it before the long line. The timing they provided when the sub would be ready was doubled, but I was patient. During that period, you could only order in person or by phone and only the Steak & Cheese. They stayed busy for the time I was there. When I settled down and bit into that sandwich, it tasted so good. I got mine without the Red Hots (described as having a mild heat to them with some sweetness). I am surprised I ate the whole thing - house-made hoagie roll, sesame, ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and American cheese (the truck with the Provolone never made it). I'll always be a fan of Z&Z no matter what they serve. Employees are pleasant as always.

    Stopped by Z&Z today for lunch, I had seen it all over reels and heard nothing but good things - today I saw why! The pizzas were soft as pillows and filled with taste I can't recall the names but the pepperoni pizza had a touch of hot honey and gooey cheese. The pizza with cucumber and tomato mix was light and savory - splitting the two with a friend was the best idea yet. Service was also fast and extremely welcoming, definitely coming back.

    Pepperoni with hot honey

    One of my favorite places in the area. These flatbread pizzas are fantastic. If you want a pizza that's light and fresh with a Mediterranean twist this is it. I have not had a flatbread that I did not like. My favorites are the toum raider (clever name) and the Lebanese bride. These two pizzas come with very fresh toppings of cucumbers, yogurt , mint and a heavy toum garlic sauce for the toum raider. The tomb raider has a very crispy flat bread crust and lots of zatar spice, with toums sauce swirled around. The Lebanese bride is much milder and has toppings of cucumbers, tomatoes, mint, and Lebneh which is cheese, but really just taste like yogurt. I found that the crust for the Lebanese bride is actually a lot softer. The bizza is just an amazing cheese pizza that my kid devoured. But I have to mention the best part of being here is that it's family owned and apparently the children are great pranksters. One time we came in here and they were just pictures of their dad as the employee of the month for each month of the year. I may have stolen that prank idea. On a beautiful night, this is actually a great place to just grab a pizza sit outside and eat and then maybe head over to Carmen's to get dessert afterwards.

    This is a tiny shop in a weird little shopping center; I've driven by it hundreds of times at it's visible from the highway, but it is just a couple of shops across from a park and is not normally a happening area. There were plenty of people in line for this place though. I wish I'd ordered ahead. Their chai had a wonderful herbal flavor, though I wish there'd been a bit more chai and less ice. The idea of ordering their version of a pizza seemed a bit silly to me-normally a pita pizza is a kind of make-do item or something you'd give a small child but it's not haute cuisine. The one I got here though, was unbelievably good. The bread chars nicely and the sauce and cheese they use are the kind of quality you'd get at a proper Italian restaurant. Having said that, the person nearby who got the more traditional za'atar covered bread and was shifting between various dips was clearly having a good time. I would certainly like to try that as well.

    Maya D.

    Fantastic flavor. There's so much flavor in the world and it makes me happy. Lebanese Bride was really good. I took another reviewer's tip and added toum to it. Powerful, garlic flavor. It was perfect. Will come back and try something else. Whatever I get, I'll ask for toum on the side.

    Lahm Bi Ajeen + Lebanese Bride (1/2 w toum sauce)
    Julie K.

    Best manoushe I've ever had... okay, also the only place I've had it, but still. The bread is light, fluffy, and has that amazing slightly charred "fire oven" flavor. Honestly, I could eat ten of these plain, without any toppings. what I got: Lebanese Bride (5/5): Fresh tomatoes and cucumbers over strained yogurt/cheese. Super refreshing and flavorful. Has mint and zaatar. Tip: ask for toum (garlic sauce) on top, it ties everything together. Lahm Bi Ajeen (3.5/5): Personally didn't love this one; the flavors didn't stand out as much compared to the Lebanese Bride. Wish there was more texture contrast, but very hearty and savory. My friend liked this one more. The food is excellent, but what keeps me from giving five stars is the service. When I asked the staff a simple question about popular options (with no line behind me), I got a dismissive, sarcastic response--"um, all of them??" and then again when I asked a different question about the menu. It honestly made me feel uncomfortable for just trying to learn more about the menu, so I just ordered based on the pictures. Great food, but I really wish the service matched the quality of the dishes. Probs will still come again, just knowing exactly what I want to try next!

    My wife and I had such a wonderful experience at Cava Mezze for Valentine's Day. Everyone was so…read morefriendly, and I enjoyed the wood-like feel/vibe, making it cozy on a cold and windy day. We had a reservation, just in case for any craziness, but it seems like anytime right before 12 looked like a good time to go. The whole staff was friendly and very quick to assist with anything that we needed. We ordered the Brunch Mania each and I got the Nutella Banana Fritters, Smoked Salmon Toast, and Spicy Lamb Benedict. Each dish was full portioned, which was great, so that you got your money's worth (other Cava Mezze's I've been to before had tapas style, but it has been a long time since that time). Each dish was delicious, and luckily I was able to try some other dishes that my wife ordered, which were wonderful. Don't sleep on those hush puppies, I wish I could've gotten more. We also ordered mimosas, which were 25 cents each (if you get the brunch mania), all of which were strong and worth it.

    I went to Cava Mezze on a Sunday afternoon; There were only two other tables seated during this…read moretime, so I was seated promptly. Cava Mezze had some of the best customer service I'd ever experienced. The staff was so attentive--everyone from my server to the manager. Any member of the staff that simply passed my table made sure to ask me if I was enjoying my food or give me an update on the status of my food. My server also made sure to inform me about the restaurant's cuisine and menu before I ordered. As a solo diner, she made recommendations about what may be best since I wouldn't be sharing the small plates with a party. As for the food, I ordered the saganaki and grilled octopus. The restaurant also provided complimentary pita and harissa. The pita came out warm and the harissa was actually one of my favorite parts of the meal. The saganaki was good, but was ultimately just warm cheese; So as a solo diner, the $16 cost wasn't worth it to me. If dining alone, I probably would spend my money on a more unique appetizer like the hush puppies or mezze tasting. The elements of the grilled octopus were good, but felt like they were slightly off or missing something when paired all together. The grilled squid was tasty (well seasoned and smokey), but had a few too many burnt pieces for my preference and was /slightly/ tough. I still really enjoyed the flavor of it though. The fava puree was sooo good! Again, it had a great, slightly salty flavor that I really enjoyed. I think it was perhaps the brininess of the capers that threw off the flavors off, but the dish felt 100% more balanced once I mixed in some of the complimentary harissa! I really enjoyed my time at Cava Mezze and am excited to return to try more items from their menu. This restaurant is solo-date approved!

Last night my husband and I decided to dine in. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with cultural artifacts and art. This may just be a me thing but the serveware was envy worthy. It was gorgeous. I'm obsessed with beautiful dishware. There were only two people taking orders and serving food for an almost full dining room so we were understanding of a bit of a wait time. The staff were very friendly and checked in on us when they could. We ordered the khachipuri, samsa, oxtail, chohobli, steamed rice, pilmeni, and hot tea. Both the khachipuri and samsa were flaky pastries: khachapuri filled with a salty stretchy cheese with a cheese pull that tasted better than it was Instagram-able and samsa filled with a savory meat/onion mixture served with a tomato based sauce. Get one per person because you will not want to share. We ordered fried mini dumplings which are filled with meat and also served with same tomato based sauce that came with the samsa. They were delicious but afterwards I saw that you can get them steamed in a broth, I told myself I have to get that next time. The slow-cooked, tender oxtail was served over the best crispy, fat-fried potatoes I've ever had. The chohobli (chicken stew) was fall off the bone into a delicious tomato-based stew. We ordered the rice to sop up the delicious stew. The tea really helped to cut the richness of all the delicious food. I have not shut up about this place since we had this meal. I will rave about it to just about anyone that will listen in hopes that they will come with me next time so we can order more dishes to share.

This one was pretty good, but I do have a quibble; the crust was much denser than Detroit style crust usually is. The height of the pizza was about 2/3 of the usual height of a light and airy but thick Detroit style crust, so I am not sure if this dough just didn't rise properly or if PM does their crust differently. I don't personally care for heavy thick crust so this isn't a deviation I particularly care for. That said, I did like the robust sauce and the cheese, toppings were sufficient though not exceptionally generously applied. I recommend getting hot honey on the side if you want that, it was less noticeable pre-applied, though I could taste it a little. The pop up is colocated with Corned Beef King and there is a picnic table for when the weather is good but it is primarily takeout. Food was ready ontime so I was in and out super quickly.

I'll probably be back when hubs wants a Detroit style and we don't have time to drive to Frederick where the best one I've found in MD can be had, but tbh just one slice sat like a brick in my tummy.
