    Beef Shawarma Wrap
    John W.

    I had a good experience at Zara's Mediterranean kitchen. The food was really amazing, but it was a little expensive. I was very impressed with the food at Zara's. I got the beef shawarma & it was delicious. I thought the flavor was really good & the meat was very tender. The garlic sauce was good too. We also tried the Zara sambosa which was just ok. Vibe was ok inside. It was just a big space with a lot of tables. Parking was good & service was good. I was surprised with the prices. I felt with the portion sizes especially I left a bit hungry & spent more than I expected.

    Greek Feta Salad

    I ordered this Greek salad through DoorDash. It was pretty good overall, however I wish it came with more dressing. I made my own dressing at home to add to it. Other than that, the ingredients were fresh and the overall flavor was really good.

    Beef Shish Kebab absolutely delicious
    Kimmy R.

    Fabulous experience ordering DoorDash. I could not believe they gave me 4 large pita bread halves for one kebab plate. Roasted red pepper dip was fresh and delicious and perfectly garnished. The Greek salad was also so fresh. The garlic sauce was to die for. The meat was mouthwatering!!!! I will definitely be ordering again. Probably the best Mediterranean food I've ever had!

    We visited Zara's for a weeknight family dinner a couple of weeks ago. When you walk in you can tell the restaurant ambiance is relaxing and you can tell the establishment is very clean. The service was excellent and the waiter took great care in explaining menu options, giving recommendations and ensuring my gluten allergy was accommodated. All of our food was delicious, we will definitely be back!

    Nice restaurant , music was a little loud, but nothing that interfered with conversation. Food was excellent. We had three different types of hummus. Euro meat with what appeared to be fresh pita bread, it was still hot! Service was a little slow, but nothing to be concerned about.

    The food is great! Everything that we ordered is all on point. The traditional hummus, fried kibbeh, beef and lamb shish kabob and even the swamarma lover platters are good. The server is attentive and friendly.

    Ordering food delivery is always a crapshoot. You read the reviews knowing sit in service is often different from to go or delivery service, but you take the chance. The lamb chops were a bit fatty and overcooked, but flavorful. They also were not as meaty as those pictured by eat-in diners. The rice was a bit dry. The salad was good, but thankfully I had my own utensils, as the requested utensils and napkins were not included. As they were delivering to a hotel, that should have been double checked. I really wanted to love this meal after all the glowing reviews. If in the area again, I'd try dining in to see if I can experience what the other reviewers have. I just can't recommend them for delivery. Not today.

    The food was flavorful and exactly what i was craving. The soft, warm pita bread with my hummus really hit the spot. The meats were seasoned well, but I wish the chicken was a little , but it was seasoned well. We were promptly greeted and seated upon walking in, and our orders taken shortly after. Our waiter was very nice and helpful with answering our questions regarding the different menu items. The atmosphere was casual with a with a unique and colorful Mediterranean flare. Can't wait to try this place a second time.

    Do not sleep on this place. This plate can easily feed two people and it is so good! Garlic sauce is fire!

    Salmon
    Yunus L.

    We have been here 4 -5 times and I love the interiors and the back ground very attractive. Another plus is to have a prayer area in here. I would take this review today as an opportunity for the restaurant to improve on the taste of their food. We ordered the lentil soup which was ok but needed some salt and we could add it and they did bring us the salt and pepper. We also ordered the Salmon which was not as juicy as usual and the chicken kubeidah were really not good. It was so much like a leather texture and can not even break it. Very dry and I can say I have never had such terrible preparation. Salmon I understand is usually dry at most places but they used to have a very flavorful and moist ones before.. but even that was not he best and I could accept that.. but the chicken kubeidah needs some major changes in the preparation or maybe it was just too old...

    Is Zara's byob?

    They don't serve wine, so I asked the owner if diners could bring their own bottle if they pay a corking fee; she responded "no".

    Did I get up at 7am to make the trip up to Spring for BBQ? Yes…read moreDid I get in line an hour before the opened? Also yes Was it worth it? Heck yes! A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed. The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The service is also great! While we were eating, staff would regularly check all of the tables to check if anyone needed anything. The staff taking our order also chatted with us about other BBQ spots we've been to. Everything was such a great experience and the quality of the food is 100/10!

    I'm sort of embarrassed to say this is my first time here as it has become a staple in the…read morearea...But hey, I made it and I'm glad I did! I was mentally prepared for a line lol. I've passed by several times and the line has always deterred me, but this time I came with my game face and the patience of a saint. I arrived on a Friday at 11:03am to be exact. Yep, they open at 11am and yep there was already a line. I was shortly approached by an employee who handed me a paper menu and asked if I would like to purchase a drink while I wait in line. It was fairly hot outside but they had fans along the patio to give relief. The inside of the restaurant is not large but also not small, its first come first serve so get in where you fit in or opt to sit outside. I arrived to the front of the line around 12pm so it took about an hour of waiting in line. Ordering was smooth and it took no time for the food to be ready. Staff were friendly, and service was speedy. I ordered brisket(moist), pulled pork sandwich, mac n cheese, potato salad, beans, apple cobbler, and a baked potato. The potato salad was a pleasant surprise! It is not your traditional potato salad, but If you enjoy anything dill flavored, you'd love it! The brisket was moist and flavorful, melt in your mouth good!!! The other sides were just okay, not bad but nothing stood out. The cobbler was a bit too sweet and it did not seem as though the ingredients were mixed very well. It was like they dumped sugar on top and baked it without mixing it. Pulled pork sandwich was meaty and flavorful. Pretty good BBQ Experience!!!
