Au Za'atar - Midtown East

I visited this restaurant a few days ago and honestly had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything about the place exceeded my expectations. The food quality was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. Every dish we ordered was delicious and perfectly presented, making the whole dining experience memorable. A special shoutout to our server, Kyle, who truly made the night exceptional. He was professional, attentive, and incredibly friendly throughout our visit. His service was top-class and he made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It’s rare to come across service that genuinely elevates your experience, but Kyle absolutely did. The atmosphere and vibes of the restaurant are out of this world. The de

I stopped by this restaurant for a late dinner after work and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is charming and welcoming, perfect for winding down. The menu is extensive with plenty of options to choose from, and the food is beautifully presented. I especially loved the homemade pita bread, freshly baked in their ovens, it makes a big difference!! The drinks were also excellent, well-balanced and flavorful. Overall, a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Food was 10/10 - loved the beiruty hummus and the mixed grill platter. Meat was cooked to perfection and everything was so flavorful. Kyle & Heidi are PHENOMENAL. So attentive and kind. Great experience all around 🙌🏼🙌🏼

this place is great for anything — dates, family, friends, etc I stg. especially great if you like meat. mix grill platter was phenomenal (takes like 45 minutes so) overall would say to expect dinner to be on the longer side here we did a walk in on a holiday and they were able to seat us in a few min but prob smart to make a reservation. they give you free bread that is actually so good and many sauces which is really fun.

Very disappointing service. I asked the server how many pieces the dessert comes with. She told me 6 pieces. When the plate arrived, it only had 5 pieces. I let it go and didn’t make an issue out of it. Then I ordered a glass of wine. What I received was literally just a tiny sip — barely anything in the glass. When I asked why it was poured like that, she told me it’s “dessert wine.” I explained that the bottle itself is only $10, so it’s not some rare or expensive wine that justifies such a minimal pour. She simply said, “This is how it is.” After that, another staff member came to the table. He was extremely rude and aggressive. Instead of trying to solve the issue, he asked me what my problem was and kept repeating, “This is the system. Do whatever you want. Leave whatever review yo
