    Chicken Rice Bowl
    Michelle Z.

    Solid uber eats option! They did a BOGO deal so it was ~$21 for 2 bowls. The chicken rice bowl was good, had lots of herbed rice, and was packed with veggies. It felt healthy and super filling, and the chicken was cooked nicely -- not dry at all and very flavorful. It comes with a tahini sauce as well. Would def recommend for a healthy takeout delivery option!

    I discovered this place while scrolling through Uber Eats and saw a BOGO promotion going on. So why not give it a try! Wow I must say I was pleasantly surprised when my order arrived because not only did these bowls look very appetizing, but they also didn't skimp out on the portion sizes. I ended up trying the beef and lamb kabob rice bowl and the chicken rice bowl. My favorite was the beef and lamb kabob rice bowl. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a photo of everything until I was already halfway through eating the kabob bowl. The beef and lamb (4 pieces per order) was very tasty, and I absolutely loved the pink yogurt sauce! The roasted and pickled veggies also paired well with the meat and rice. I'd definitively order the beef and lamb kabob rice bowl from this place again! Although I'd skip the chicken rice bowl in the future because the bowl was a bit too salty, and the tahini sauce that came with it wasn't that good.

    Wow!!!! So so so yummy! I ordered the chicken keto bowl. The chicken was so flavorful and moist and the cauliflower rice and veggies were cooked to perfection!! The meal was filling but not heavy. I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for fresh authentic food. Can't wait to order from here again!

    Found this place on doordash and it was beyond my expectations. I was feeling a bit helthy so decided on Mediterrenean, not only was my craving satisfied, my body thanked me. I ordered their chicken rice bowl and falafel with hummus so it usually lasts me for 2 lunches at work. Their proportions are big so it matches their price tag. It is quite expensive but you can taste the quality and weigh the proportions. I plan to try other things in their menu as time passes by. They also have gluten free and keto options so please make sure to try them!

    Ordered Ubereats because of a discount. Really good meals. Orders: - Lamb and Beef Kabob Rice Bowl: Great flavors. Also enjoyed the rice and pickled veggies! It could easily be two meals for me - Chicken Rice Bowl (gluten-free): Yummy flavors. Chicken was well seasoned and moist. Rice was again really good! I've only had this place once but I feel like it would not disappoint if I order again.

    Chicken Rice Bowl (but a few bites in, oops)
    Mackenzie H.

    Ordered through UberEats because of a promotional deal and I am SO glad that I did. This was such a delicious meal. I ordered 2 chicken bowls (no modifications) and they arrived hot and fresh. The chicken was blissfully moist and I can't believe the value of each bowl - just look at how much chicken they give you! I find that restaurants often skimp on the protein serving, but Za'atar definitely doesn't skimp on anything. I loved the pickled onions, veggies, and turmeric-y sauce that came with it! And don't even get me started on the rice. The rice is so flavorful and pillowy. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

    I was in the SF area this weekend and was excited to finally try Za'atar after hearing great reviews about it from friends. I placed the order ahead of time and went to go pick it up. When I arrived, I was thrilled about the parking situation. It's located in a very large parking lot, so it was super easy to find parking (unlike so many restaurants in SF) and there were large signs that made it easy to find Za'atar. The food was ready for me to pick up and take home. The worker was super nice and friendly. When I got home and opened the bag, I was amazed at how colorful and beautiful the food looked! Then when I tasted it, I could not believe it. This was without a doubt the BEST Mediterranean food I've ever had! Ordered these: * Mediterranean Salmon Rice Bowl * Beef & Lamb Kabob Rice Bowl * Side Hummus with Warm Pita Just from one meal, I can already confidently say that this is one of my favorite restaurants in all of SF. Looking forward to returning soon to try more delicious food here!

    Hummus with Mushroom Ragu
    Dana Z.

    Absolutely delicious. I am in love with the lamb and beef kabob bowl and ordered it twice. I think the key is to add artichoke hearts and a side of veggie :) also, hummus with mushroom ragu is very tasty. One feedback I'd like to give to Za'atar is that for some reason, the portion for my second order was smaller than the first order - please keep portion size consistent! I remember how excited and impressed I was with my first order, not only because the colors were beautiful, but also how great it smelled, all contributing to the wonderful mix of flavors and texture of everything in the bowl. I will definitely order more from Za'atar and try a few other things on the menu, such as the salmon rice bowl. Overall, great job, keep it up!

    Mediterranean Salmon Rice Bowl
    Jessica L.

    I was nervous about meat drying out during the delivery process, but when I got my salmon rice bowl it was still super moist and tender and tasty! The balance of spices is great, and the rice was super flavorful. Everyone's food came well-labeled, so there was no confusion as to whose meal was whose. I love that they have many keto and healthy options. Highly recommend for lunch delivery, and I would love to come back and try more!

    Ordered delivery via Caviar for dinner. Healthy, filling, yummy Mediterranean food for good value that was as expected. Hummus with mushroom ragu - hummus was creamy and delicious. Only came with one pita pocket though. Would recommend getting extra pita to soak up the large amount of hummus Chicken rice bowl - good amount of protein and well seasoned vegetables Salmon bowl - salmon was too fishy. I wouldn't order this again

It was like eating in a private garden, surrounded by a nice floral arrangement. The food was superb. Highest quality. The salad appetizers were fresh & crunchy. The feta cheese & small lavash breads were a great way to start. See the mains in the photos. My lamb chops & beef/lamb skewer was excellent. My sons raved about their salmon & beef. The rice was perfect: real longer grained basmati, delicately spiced, with hints a saffron. I loved the roasted tomato, raw onions, cilantro, & mint leaves. Of course plenty of lavash. Easily a 4.5. I'd give a 5, but my wife said her chicken was a little dry. Still tasty, especially with her rice that had raisins, dates, & lentils. Maybe nit picking, but overall good. The Napoleon with a scoop of raspberry ice cream was excellent. This Napoleon wasn't so creamy, but more about layers of cake. More complex than the usual variant. I'm a fan. The drinks were on point. Great ambiance & waiter. Great portions & value for this level of quality. Lavash takes pride in what they do. We will be back for great Persian cuisine.

It is not a sit-down restaurant and doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is consistently excellent food at prices that still make sense in a city where that's getting rare. We're regulars, and we usually go on Sunday evenings after my girlfriend gets off work. Falafel wrap and chicken shawarma are our usual order -- the falafel has that crisp-shell, tender-middle thing going, and the wraps are generously built. We've branched out plenty and everything we've tried has been good. The other reason we keep showing up is the people. Turna usually takes our order, and she is genuinely lovely -- friendly in a way that isn't a customer-service script. My girlfriend and I always walk out in a better mood than we walked in with, which is worth a lot. Practical notes: halal, lots of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, open until midnight Fri/Sat, and they cater. Grab some napkins if you're eating the wrap on the move -- it's a big one, and that's a compliment.

The service was friendly and welcoming even when our party came at different times. The restaurant wasn't busy given it was a Monday evening, so you would think it would go smoothly. *** OUR PICKS *** COMBO APPETIZER PLATTER ~ hummus, baba ghanouj, haydari, ezme, dolmas, merimek, falafel ~ parts of the platter were cold while the falafel was warm, but they topped it off with a sauce that didn't keep the falafel crispy, instead it softened it. I think the sauce should have been on the side. The rest of the dish was good. 4/5 LAMB KEBAB PLATE ~ this was my dish. I touched my skewers thinking they were going to be hot, but it was surprisingly cold. I'm not sure why skewers would be cold when the food should be hot right off the grill. The lamb was cooked medium rare as I requested, though there was little to no seasoning. So it was kind of gamey and tasteless 3/5 RACK OF LAMB PLATE ~ my partner chose this dish. The lamb was also very light in seasoning. The pistachio rice was interesting and nutty. Asparagus was good. 3.5/5 MIXED GRILL PLATE ~ our friend enjoyed this dish. Maybe a mixed grill is the way to go and some meats cooked and seasoned better than others. 4/5 BEEF KEBAB PLATE ~ the beef was also room temperature and lightly seasoned. 3.5/5 SALMON ~ I tried some of this and it was decent. 4/5 BAKLAVA & CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE ~ Nice birthday surprise and a sweet way to end the meal. Baklava wasn't as crispy or flaky as some I've had, but the honey-pistachio nuts were good. Chocolate mousse cake was decadent and moist. 4/5 Beautiful presentation on the plating of our food, though the timing for the food wasn't quite right as a few plates were served room temperature and not hot. However, the surprise desserts were a nice touch in helping us celebrate a birthday!
