We tried Zaki Mediterranean Grill in Lexington for lunch and it's one of those hidden gems you…read morealmost drive past but end up thinking about afterward. The food tasted incredibly fresh and homemade -- flavorful shawarma, creamy hummus, warm pita, and authentic Mediterranean flavors that don't feel watered down or commercialized. The owner was genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can tell he cares about the food and the people coming in. It's a small, cozy spot, but the flavor is huge. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and everything tastes made with care. If you love authentic Mediterranean food, this place is absolutely worth trying. Lexington has some great local restaurants, and Zaki definitely deserves more attention.  I had the chicken shawarma and it didn't disappoint! The hummus was so fresh. My husband had the lamb shawarma.

We placed our order and it was prepared very quickly. We loved the lamb wraps. The seasoned fries were delicious. The baklava, OMG! It is crispy, flaky and moist. All at the same time. It's not overly sweet which makes it an absolute favorite for me. The next time we are in the city, we will be back!!!

Drive down the street just past Taco Bell and then turn right. Parking spaces are both adjacent to the building as well as across a traffic lane. There is a handicapped space right in front of door. Seating is mix of tables and booths, but there were also a couple seats at the counter in the rear. The menu is above the counter. It offers a wide variety of choices. We placed our order and found a table. We received our food in about 10 minutes. The falafel was crispy outside and warm and flavorful inside. The chicken shawarma was nothing short of exceptional. The flavors were intense and the accompanying salad was fresh and light. The very garlicky hummus was amazingly good. The kofta kebab was another excellent choice. The tzatziki sauce is freshly made and very flavorful. Even the rice was light, fluffy, and flavorful. Yaffa Grill is a true gem to find and certainly deserves a visit.

I got the large fattoush salad with extra lamb, and it was the best Mediterranean and best lamb I've ever tried!! Generous servings and tender meat, cooked to perfection with great spices! I'll be back again, and I'm already dreaming about what I'll order next!

The food was made to order and arrived in under 10 minutes. I opted for the #1 platter with beef and lamb skewers. The entrée was exactly what I expected: skewers served over a bed of rice. I was absolutely thrilled with the meal. First off, the meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful. I devoured it so quickly that I truly believe how good the food is--simply amazing. The lentil soup and hummus were equally delightful. The lentil soup was definitely one of the best I've ever tasted. Well, this was my lucky day discovering such a wonderful restaurant.

And she is so patient with me and any questions that I have. I look forward to seeing her there when I come in! Mr. Shawarma is a welcomed change to the usual cuisine that I eat.
