Me and my daughter are absolute Shawarma connoisseurs and try it everywhere we go and we had a favorite at home that no one has ever been able to beat until we came to Zaman. The chicken Shawarma is absolutely delicious and they should be bottling and selling that garlic sauce so make sure you ask for extra. if I could give more than five stars I would! read more

Listen... if I call you and ask til what time are you open... and you reply 2.... Which your website says 3am.... Please ... stop wasting people's time with bullshit info ... bad business practices.... Say what's going on and period. I just wasted an uber/lyft ride for no reason. read more

As I sit on my toilet in the middle of the night with cramps, wafting in the pungent smells degassing from my upset intestinal lower tract with the hints of last nights Shawarma spices, I decided to warn my fellow man of this very same possible fate. Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start: the chairs were kindly loitered with prior guests scraps, but interestingly it was nearly dried out pieces of meat and rice making me wonder just how long they had been there. The shop's lonely cook/server greeted us with a stern "..." as he approached our table. Then exclaimed "drink" with a looming look that implied the "?" follows. "Oh, ugh, can I have just tap water?" He declined, no tap/cups. Only bottled waters or bottled drinks. "Ok,..." so we decided we'll share one $5 bottle of off brand water and a coke. Then, we go to order. Unfortunately, some fresh items are out but salad will be included in the platters (but you can't order just a salad, which to my dismay, was half the reason I chose a Mediterranean place after having fried food all day at the parks). So we decided to get shawarma chicken and shawarma beef dishes. What happens next is my reminder to trust my gut instinct next time, for which my gut is now reminding me to do at 5:30AM upon this water throne prison. He disappears to the back to prepare the food, bustling noises erupt as we wait for our drinks. He emerges nearly towards the end of the prep to give our two drinks, then returns shortly after that with our food. The meat is cut into small strips, almost like long grain rice. The salad with a similar fate of the knife is dressed with a simple olive oil and red wine vlnegar with sprinkle of herbs on top (fattoush-ish without any other accoutrements on top that one would expect of a fattoush). I take a bite of this IDDSI mechanically-chopped texture plate of food. The taste is ok, but that dang chicken's texture and dryness level is where I thought "this is either well charred or old/dried up meat or both..." As I reflect in this cramped, hotel water closet - alone and cold, legs going numb from sitting this long - it most definitely was the latter... final remarks for my rating of one star is that it takes a pretty crazy force to make my iron-clad stomach and intestines turn to the mushy runs all night. I surrender, this place took down the beast's unstoppable stomach. And you don't want to know how my compadres faired... TL;DR - food tastes average (which isn't a bad thing if you want simple flavors), but the quality is subpar and left me sick to my intestines on the toilet with the rubs. Service felt cold and strained, no cups/water available thus must be purchased as bottled water or bottled drinks. Felt like I was intruding on this man's privacy... Won't return, sorry. Oh and the price is rather steep, especially for what we got. Not mentioned is the babaganoush which was good and came with nice warm pita, but I can't overlook just about all rest of this experience read more

Tried the lamb kebob and it was tender and delicious. Freshly made and it shows. The rice had a wonderful tang from what I assume to be citrus of some kind and the salad was also really good. Great service and comfortable seating. read more

Came here specifically on the recommendation of a Yelper (and her yummy pictures)! My whole purpose was to try the kunafa, which is an arabic dessert. As someone completely obsessed with middle Eastern food, I was surprised that I never tried this restaurant before. Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were greeted, because of the location we assumed it would be very crowded, and although there were a lot of patrons, it kept the homey vibe described in so many reviews. After ordering, I asked if I could have my coffee first, and they gave it to me immediately. But that dessert! The flavors were unmatched, with every one melting pleasantly into the next, followed up with the turkish coffee, I felt as if I was in a dream. My tastebuds were literally soaring! Can't wait to return!! read more

After a day at universal we stopped by to try some Mediterranean food and it was amazing. The chicken shawarma with the garlic sauce was delicious. Will have to come back and try the other items on the menu. read more

I visited this place because it was Open until 2am on a Monday, to discover a hidden Gem! The Food is so Authentic and Exquisit! To my surprise, they do Fresh Juices- Highly Recommend the Mango Juice and the Lemon with Mint. For Food, I had the Falafel, Kebbeh, Baba Ganoush, Lamb and Chicken Kebab Platter, and of course some Blaklava. Everything Was sooooo Delicious, the Lamb was Magnificent, everything had such good Energy and Taste. The Owners were there cooking at 1am, with a Smile on their faces and such Joy, that definitely transferred to the food. The Sauces, The Juices, The Salad Dresssings, The Rice, The Meats, The Dips, the baba Ganoush... EVERYTHING was Made from Scratch in the Kitchen. Go pay them a Visit. read more

Baba ghanoush was really good - cost almost $10 and it was kinda small. I ordered the chicken shawarma and beef kabob. The guy that took my order gave me chicken kabob... both chicken and beef kabob were sooo dry and hard ! The meat was so tough and chewy. The basmati rice was pretty good. Overall, It was kinda expensive but kinda expected that since it's Orlando I guess.. read more

My fiancé and I stopped by this place the night before Eid as he was craving some Kunafa. It was quiet but the owners greeted us at the door and were very friendly.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Do not be fooled by fake reviews with inaccurate photos. Chicken shawarma plate is straight up garbage, inedible and tasteless. Hummus is swimming in unnecessary and copious amount of nasty oil. Wish I could give negative stars! read more

We came for a late night snack, and was greeted by a cool guy (it was 4/30/2023 at 12:20 AM) and we were a bit nervous because of some of the reviews. Whoever was talking badly about this place is INSANE. The meal we ordered (shown in the picture I attached) was flavorful, plentiful, and served QUICKLY. Meal for two and it filled us for sure. Maybe if you're starving you might wanna get for 3 but, I think 2 should be fine. We also had some hummus and pita bread, which hit the spot. And the mango juice? It was genuinely perfect. The only downside to this place is the pricing, but honestly with how expensive Mediterranean food is down in Miami (where we're from) and Disney world and Universal is ($6 for a water bottle??) I'm not even remotely surprised. For everything I listed, it totaled to $76 and I had to give the cool guy a tip cause he was attentive and cared about if we liked the meal. Ultimately, 10/10, you won't regret it if you're in the mood for some Shawarma. read more

Zaman Cuisine - Mixed grill for two, shawarma instead of Kababs. Definitely a perfect size - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

DO NOT DRIVE HERE OR EAT HERE! For one plate to share hummus from a can barely blended with cloudy olive oil and microwaved pita that went hard before our SHARED one mix grill with 2 chicken and one lamb kabob with white flavorless rice no vermicelli and 1/4 cup chopped lettuce with lemon and sumac. Terrible service. One Staff just sitting there with his friend on a Friday night in the most tourist dense area of Orlando should have gone to show us not to dine here. The chicken came out very obviously cooked before. Over seasoned to cover the weird white stuff seeping from it. It was soft chicken but the internal temperature it came out with could not have been safe to serve. It was not hot. Then the bill came. $60 I could have eaten the best kabob at Bombay street kitchen with good service and REFILLS ON MY SODA for $45 after tip. Or Seito sushi with the best ingredients in winter park for $60. Shame on you. Not to mention the tacky reupholstered seating that was barely holding us up to eat said meal. read more

Zaman Cuisine - Catered food - Halal Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Mango drink and lemonade were good but needed to be made more like an iceee. Lemonade needed more lemon flavor, mango was perfect. Bread was cold, never did I have cold bread from a Mediterranean restaurant until I came to this one. Food was good, the menu said meat with rice and vegetables but I got a salad and the waitress with the light brown curly long hair doesn't know the menu very well because she agreed that the vegetables were like mixed. Salad was good but I was informed I'd get something that I didn't, she might need more training on the menu. Babaghanoush didn't have enough flavor, no garlic or salt, just plain. The food here is overpriced and not done to the price that they charge. If you're going to upcharge then the food needs to be top notch. The worker wouldn't take restaurant.com coupon that was made for their restaurant that my boyfriend bought to save money. The quality is not up where it needs to be. Somebody needs to correct this and learn the difference between a salad and mixed vegetables. If your restaurant has coupons online to save money, you need to accept them. read more

Super friendly, even late night. The food is fresh and filling! Wandered in craving shawarma and wound up trying tawook. It may be a new favorite! The hummus is fresh and tastes like it. The lentil soup was what my soul needed on a cold night! Tried the baklava because the guy said it was made just for them...super tasty and unique but not like most baklava I've had before. read more

Wow! Such amazing authentic Lebanese and Syrian food. Truly delish. Had an assortment of appetizers and the muhammara was exquisite. Had kibbe for the first time in years and it was the best ever. The mixed grill was amazing. Chicken beef and shwarma perfectly seasoned. And had enough for leftovers too!! Kind and genuine service in an adorable comfy setting! Going back for sure!! read more

Prices are a SCAM! Do not eat here! Food is trash on a plate and prices will cost you an arm and a leg. Just to be clear, I'm not saying this to complain about how expensive it is. If the quality of the food is there then I'm happy to pay more. Save yourself the trouble and your money, You will leave here feeling robbed and hungry and wish you stopped at Jack in the Box instead. Each "platter" costs just under $20 and here's what you get: 1. Falafel Platter: 6 pieces of oily greasy non edible, non seasoned bite sized scoops of canned garbanzo beans, No seasoning, spices, or fresh parsley. At least that's what it tastes like. Served on a bed of shredded carrots. 1 small bite and spit it out. I only ate some of the shredded carrots. Complete trash! $18 2. Chicken shawarma platter: chicken was raw and uncooked, seasoning was ok, but mostly inedible. served over a bed of rice. $20 3. Beef shawarma platter: beef is tough and not seasoned well. Served over a bed of rice. $20 4. Hummus: hummus out of a can, garnished with paprika and olive oil. They don't give you bread to eat it with but they still charged a $22 service fee. $8 5. Presentation of the food in general doesn't look or smell appetizing at all. You can tell that they don't put any quality ingredients or care into the final product they are serving. I believe this restaurant only exists to make a quick Buck from people who have never had quality Mediterranean food before and they just want to try it for the first time. This place is a bad example for someone trying this type of food for the first time. I can't speak much about the ambiance because I had a takeout order but the place is pretty small located inside of a strip mall next to a smoke shop. read more

Sometimes I'm not sure how places get bad reviews. My experience was perfect. Late night near my hotel, this was one of few places open, and one of only two healthy options. Everything else is either fast-food, fried or pizza. When I arrived, I asked for the Chicken Shawarma plate, but a substitution of hummus for the rice. They were very friendly and quick, the food was fresh and full of flavor, and the restaurant was clean. This was exactly what I needed and worth the 12 min walk back and forth from my hotel. read more

Worst restaurant and hookah lounge right next to it. Avoid this place at any cost! WORST EXPERIENCE of my LIFE!! It took us 2.5 hrs to get our Food. And we find out after 2.5 hrs that some items from our orders are out of stock!!! The hummus is SHIT! The Fries are worst than Mcdonalds ! Asked for water and that was provided after two hours. And on top of that they charged $20 for service fee for Shitty Service. And cherry on top was the owners of both places blaming each other! They were not apologetic at all, but had bad attitudes and didn't give a damn about anything. read more

A brand new little restaurant just outside of Universal Studios and down the road from the Orange County Convention Center, on International Drive (aka I-Drive). The restaurant is hidden from the main road, but well worth the find! The inside is decorated in a calming lavender, great to de-stress from a hectic day at the parks! The owner suggested the shawarma platter. Shawarma meat with rice, a side Mediterranean salad, hummus, and, shrak bread. Delicious and flavorful! I've never had Shawarma before, was well worth the taste! (I can see why it was mentioned in the Avengers movie.) I made my own little combinations of all those items, everything tasted amazing! The Mango drink I had was like drinking a pureed mango - which I found out later, that's exactly what it was! And the Baklava (still my favorite), was to die for - flaky, sweet, and freshly homemade that morning! The owners were super welcoming, nice, and friendly. They stopped at my table a bunch of times to make sure I was loving the food and my stay at their restaurant. I will 100% eat here again! I almost don't want to tell everyone about it, because once the secret of this hidden gem it out, everyone will want to eat here! But at the same time, people need to stop by and get some of this deliciousness! But don't believe a word I say - you have to go to try for yourself! A quick note, at the time of my review, this little restaurant is still on its soft opening - no sign out front. It is to the right of the Smoke Shop and a couple of doors down from the Hooka lounge (looking at the strip). Enjoy! read more

This place is a hidden gem! The food was delicious. I usually don't like grape leaves but here I had four! We got the sampler appetizer. There was two types of hummus and they both were good! I preferred the garlic while my boyfriend enjoyed the original. I had the chicken shawarma which was flavorful. He had the beef. The frosted mango drinks were pure mango too. We were lucky enough to meet the chef! It was an absolute pleasure. Definitely happy they were open late! read more

We found this small and very good Mediterranean restaurant on Yelp. Our waiter, Emad, who I believe is also an owner, was so pleasant, accommodating and made us feel very valued as guests. The shawarma and falafel sandwiches were plentiful and delicious. He made a point of telling us that all food is baked and not fried which is much healthier This was a great place for lunch!!!! read more

I'm always trying to find good shawarma, so I decided to try this place out. I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich and really enjoyed it. I really like the sauce and the bread they used. Decently priced too. It's hard to find places that have good juice cocktails as well, so I was excited to see that they have quite a few options. I had the mango strawberry and of course loved it! I want to try other flavors in the future. The staff was friendly and attentive. Will be back. read more
