The food was absolutely amazing every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere made the entire experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family! read more

Love this place! This place is my favorite go to spot for Mediterranean food! Everything is authentic and delicious. Service is always great, especially Nancy! read more

Literally the best place for chicken shawarma! The small plate feeds me for 2 meals. Great portions and worth the price. The girl that took my order over the phone was great as well. She was nice and helpful. I'd recommend the hummus and yogurt salad as your sides!! Will forever come here! read more

This is our favorite local Mediterranean food! It's consistently good and we especially love the chicken Kabab and the chicken shawarma!

It took me a long while to finally decide to come here, and I'm sorry that I waited so long to do so. Decided to go with my go-to dish at Mediterranean restaurants, and I have to say that they definitely make a pretty good chicken kabob plate. Not the best (Janet's Mediterranean in Duarte is my #1), but certainly worth a try if you are in the neighborhood. The cashier wasn't the friendliest, but whatever. The place is really small, so it's likely that you will be taking your food to go if you don't want to wait. read more

Mike took care of my wife and I. The Mediterranean food is great and the service is outstanding.

Mike is the best! We came during closing time & he still helped up! We love the food here & recommended!

So this place is really good, BUT the prices are crazy expensive. I got a medium chicken shawarma plate and it was almost $20. The portions are pretty big, but I just felt that the pricing was steep. A small is about $12 so from a small to a medium, that's a pretty big jump. Excellent service though and pretty quick considering your meal is cooked to order. Food itself was really good like I said. Chicken wasn't dry at all. Rice was flavorful. The potato salad and cucumber yogurt was some of the best I've had! My dad got the grape leaves and those I would pass on to be honest. Pita bread had a really good chew to it and the garlic sauce was also really good! I also like how they have a big variety of sides and sauces to choose from! Side note: if you check in you get a free baklava! read more

Zait Bistro - Medium Chicken Shawarma Combo Plate with Potato Salad and Cucumber Yogurt Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Unbelievable. The food was so bad I could choke on the chicken. It's so dry. I ordered the vegetables on the side. I wasn't served any tomatoes so I asked for some and they refused. Rice was awful. Stay away from this place. Staff is so rude. read more

So I'm visiting mom from Los Angeles today and getting her favorite falafel sandwich while I'm going to try their shwarma beef wrap! Mmm...can't wait! ***UPDATE I feel like I just left a Mexican fast food place. I'm loving the inside of this burrito but I am SO DISAPPOINTED that the latin men in the kitchen think that they can take short cuts with tortillas that are more cost efficient instead of a pita. I did not want a burrito! I am offended. Also everything is falling out. I also have Middle Eastern descent and I wanted my wrap to be wrapped with a pita. WOW...this never happens in Los Angeles! Talk about why I don't care for this area anymore. I want culture and not to be bombarded with Mexican this and Mexican that. I'm sorry, I'm proud of my heritage and love my Mexican food, but I came here for Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine only. Thank you to Sally who my mother just spoke with about getting us a replacement meal like we had anticipated in the first place. Currently I don't feel like driving in this triple digit heat and this will have to wait for another time. PS make sure if you want authenticity, ask for a pita bread even though we should not have to do this. I'm so disappointed. Again tortillas do not belong in Mediterranean cuisine period. Full stop. read more

The food was delicious I ordered the chicken kabob plate. Mike was the chef and asked up how the food was and honestly it's a 10/10. Nancy was the cashier and she was super sweet. I will be back in the future. read more

Food is amazing. Their steak is high quality and I get the same thing every time. Feels good supporting a small business with quality meals.

Great service always. Our Friday evening go-to, and have ordered catering a couple of times. Always a hit with guests!

Love this place. Probably the best Mediterranean food in the area. They also have lunch specials.

I love Mediterranean food. Also bring Armenian, I must say they do a pretty good job. Rice is great! I love anything with chicken, and I have to say you must try it. 5/5 stars! read more

I was just driving randomly through the area When I saw this place. It's has 4.5 stars on yelp. Being lebanese myself and I prepare falafel from scratch I decided to come and try it out. Hummus yummy the garlic was perfecting lemony and the bread was warm. Falafel was green on the inside (my favorite). Veramicelli rice was not greasy. Tabouleh samad was fresh. Bread was warm. May be ten seating tables inside, and few outside. Service was timely. Place was clean. Families with kids. Plenty of parking spots. Nice classy area. read more

The absolute BEST Mediterranean food in Rancho Cucamonga HANDS down, no arguments about it. The meat that is prepared is super fresh, and the the sides that you can select are SOOO GOOD. I always get the hummus, and potato salad and side salad. The meals come with the rice, protein and bread. I sometimes use the coupons that are on Instagram and I saw recently there was in the paper. The prices are super fair based on the quality of food that is given. If you are looking for more meat chicken sherwama is the way to go!! I come here often with family and am able to split meals into two. YUMMY! read more

DELICIOUS. The meat is seasoned well and so tender. One of the best and most authentic Mediterranean places I've eaten at. Highly recommend.

Wifey placed an order and they said it'd be ready in 15min but took a bit longer because they made her fresh rice at closing! The man that helped her was very nice and gave her a free baklava while she waited. Food was flavorful and fresh! Pretty good price for the quantity of food we received. Would highly recommend if your looking for good quality Mediterranean food in Rancho. read more

The yummiest largest portions! Great staff! Shawarma is the best around! Clean and great environment

I am loving this place and have updated my rating to five stars. I always order through grub hub and the food is consistent each and every time. Kudos to the cook- he does a great job every time!!! Last time I tipped him instead of the cashier because he deserves it. Owners are very nice here and I haven't seen the grumpy female cashier. Service has improved since my last review, so I have updated it accordingly. Chicken shawarma is slightly curried, but comes with this addictive rice. I couldn't stop eating their rice. Their garlic sauce complements their food so nicely. The hummus is creamy. The tabbouleh is fresh and tart with strong hints of lemon juice. I'd recommend ordering your food over the phone and picking it up. They also participate in numerous delivery services- DoorDash, GrubHub and Yelp Eats. Food is fresh even for delivery. I always see coupons for this place in your local flavor magazine. I love this place. read more

Zait Bistro - Chicken shawarma plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Wow! Their food was delicious!!!!! I didn't even get to take a pic bc the food smelled so good once I opened it. I was craving something filling and healthy and this did it! I tried the number 5 and 8 medium rare and medium. Soooooooo good, the meat was so soft and juicy. This was my first time ordering and so happy with my experience. The employees were welcoming and flexible since I ordered my food over the phone and placed it without the hummus they accommodate which I really appreciated. The restaurant itself was clean too. Try them out! Oh and their garlic side sauce... bomb!!!!!!!! 100000/10 read more

This place has the best Mediterranean food I've ever had! As a South Asian woman who loves both Indian and Mediterranean flavors, I'm so happy I found this place. Every dish is delicious and flavorful, and I now cater from them for every gathering. My guests always rave about the food and want to know where it's from! They offer great prices for the portion and are incredibly accommodating with special requests, which I really appreciate. I honestly end up eating here at least once a week! Mike, who's often there, is such a joy to see every time I go there. He's super friendly, makes the food with so much care, and always has a warm smile. His welcoming attitude makes every visit even better. The customer service is outstanding, and they make me feel like a valued customer every time. Highly recommend this spot. My husband and I have become lifelong fans! read more

Can I just say for a moment that I love Zait Bistro?! I have been frequenting this restaurant for sometime now, and everything I have eaten here has been absolutely delicious. My favorite thing on their menu is the chicken kabobs and Mediterranean salad. And their rice...YUMMY! The food takes a little longer than your average quick service restaurant, but it is made to order. It's always served hot and tasty too. As for the customer service, they aren't very chitchatty, but only because they are so busy. I am always greeted with a warm smile and hello upon entering the building though. Looking forward to many more DELISH dinners (or lunches) at Zait Bistro! read more

The food is amazing. The staff was friendly and Mike cooked our food perfectly. Hugh portions Highly recommended! read more

Awesome place, tasty food, great customer service, and the food came out quickly! Love it here!

Bummer. Walked in at 8:42 and was told their last order goes in at 8:45. So why is closing not listed as 8:45? Doesn't make any sense.

We've been coming here for years, both dining in and takeout. Everything we have tried has been very good. Chicken kebabs or shawarma, lamb kababs or the Kefta are all very good. Their rice is moist and there is a good size portion. The potato salad, grape leaves and falafel all are very good sides. The service has always been excellent and we will continue to dine here. read more

The food here is amazing! I have almost everything on the menu and it all is very tasty. I come here for their baklava especially! Mike is the best, he always provides excellent service! read more

Food is good and so is the service, the minus star is due to the scale up prices, I've been coming to this location since it opened. I understand is sanctuary expensive state California, but ...Lord Almighty! we are certainly paying for it. read more

I came to Zait for lunch a year ago in January 2020 ordering a quick To-Go for myself. The food definitely felt very authentic. During the time, they were having a Yelp promo and I was able to get some freebie desserts for myself and had some extra to share with my office. I was really satisfied with the quality! read more

Enough said !! Highly recommend . The food is five stars The customer service was five stars Definitely will be going back Bummer they didn't have lamb ready. But the steak was still on point and perfectly cooked. read more

Came here for the first time with my sister who was visiting from out of state. Decided to try out the place. Wasn't impressed with the young guy who was working the counter. We walked in and he ignored us, I said hi to him and he ignored us again. He was not very helpful and didn't seem happy with working there ? It was very awkward and I had to answer my sisters questions about the food on his behalf because he was rude and not helpful. I wish we would have gone somewhere else to eat. When you spend $47 and treated like crap then I think I'll find another Mediterranean place to eat from now on. On a side note, the fresh salads were good. Someone needs to train the young kid on customer service. read more

The restaurant was clean and their employees were very helpful. Food was fresh. The restaurant was easy to locate.

What can I say? This is my favorite Mediterranean food restaurant. They just have delicious food, my faves are the Kefta, beef and chicken shawarma. And their rice and hummus are just on point - garlic sauce is phenomenal! I can say more and more about how great their food is. You just have to come and try it yourself. They also offer catering which we recently had at our club event and everyone just can't stop talking about how great the food is. read more

This restaurant does not disappoint! I literally don't eat from any other Mediterranean restaurant in the Inland Empire. I usually order the chicken Shawarma platter, which is so moist and flavorful with hummus and pita and Tabbouleh. You won't regret it read more

My favorite Mediterranean pick-up establishment. Food-wise, this is on-par with Jose Andres' Zaitinya. I always go for their lamb chop, chicken shawarma, and beef kabob. Just make sure to call ahead as Zait is almost always busy, especially around dinner times. read more

Amazing food and great customer service from Mike! If you love Mediterranean do yourself a favor and try Zait in Rancho.

I've been here when it first opened and was never a fan so I decided to give it another try. I got the beef kebab and my boyfriend got the chicken kebab we tried the hummus and falafel as our sides. The hummus was good as well as the falafel, the beef kebab was a super tough and chewy..you have to take small bites to avoid chocking lol. The chicken was okay nothing special. Service was good, but beware they have a smaller version of the menu in the front that has possibly last years prices because the prices didn't match. Total came out to $27 for two plates. read more
