“ Found this delicious food by accident when I was attempting to get coffee at a drive thru and the was too long. The empty parking space in front of. Zait & Zaatar was a sign from the universe that I was meant to have a healthy, flavorful lunch and try authentic Lebonese food. The host was so friendly and funny and welcoming . Now I have to order everything on the menu and come back several times to do that. The patio is so relaxing and the indoor dining is super quaint and charming. They even have a drive-through if you’re in a rush and need to eat some hearty meals on the go . The music is at the right level so you have Lebanese vibe you get one extra to it but not super loud. It’s just loud enough to give it a nice relaxing atmosphere . You have to eat here !!!! ”

“ If you're craving delicious, authentic Lebanese food, Zait & Zattar is a must visit. At first glance, the space feels small, but it’s warm and inviting with a cozy charm. The few tables are surrounded by thoughtful, eclectic decor, including charming little items hanging from the ceiling. Ahmed (apologies if I’m spelling that wrong!) was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. We ordered the Combo, Spicy Potatoes, Falafel, Beef Bowl, and Sheesh Tawook. Every dish was full of bold, well-balanced flavors, but the standout for me was definitely the Spicy Potatoes. They were crispy, golden brown perfection with a surprising and delightful citrusy kick. Absolutely addictive. ”
