" I tried Lemón Zëst last week with my coworkers, and we all enjoyed our meals. The decor is charming and the staff very friendly. I particularly loved the baba ghanoush—we all shared the appetizer platter. Each dish was fresh. The only downside was our food took a while to arrive, but we were already enjoying each other's company, so it wasn’t a major issue. I'd definitely suggest this place for group outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has made a strong impression on me! The atmosphere is very cozy and beautifully decorated. I tried their appetizer platter that included hummus, baba ghanoush, and dolmas—it was fresh and full of flavor. For my main course, I opted for the lamb kabob which was so tender and well-seasoned. I was surprised by the size of the portions; you definitely get your money worth! However, our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed and service was slow, but the food made up for it. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Lemón Zëst and was utterly impressed! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. The decor really sets the Mediterranean theme and adds to the dining experience. I ordered a mixed kebab plate, which was juicy and flavorful, accompanied by saffron rice that was cooked to perfection. Our waiter was prompt and even suggested a lovely pomegranate drink that paired wonderfully with the meal. Although a bit pricier than other places, the quality justifies it. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting to indulge in authentic Mediterranean dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience at Lemón Zëst last weekend. The food was cold, and my order was incorrect! I was looking forward to trying their famous falafel wrap, but it was served with the wrong sauce and the staff seemed indifferent to my complaints. The only highlight was the atmosphere; it was lively and cheerful, but I can't overlook the service issues. I may give this restaurant one more chance to redeem itself, but I was pretty disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is nice, but I was disappointed with the food. It didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I ordered the mixed kebab and thought it would be bursting with flavor—it was okay, but not impressive. The service ranked higher for me; the staff were friendly and attentive. It just did not hit the mark for authentic Mediterranean cuisine. I might consider returning for a drink or two instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Lemón Zëst was a mixed bag. I loved the decor and vibe, but the service was slow, which led to a longer than expected wait for our meals. I ordered the falafel platter. The falafel was decent but a bit bland compared to what I've had before. However, the fresh ingredients and the generous portions made up for the lack of flavor. I might come back to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Mediterranean food, this place is right up your alley! Lemón Zëst has a fantastic atmosphere with lovely decor. I went with my family, and we all enjoyed our meals. The beef lule kebabs were phenomenal! The kids had wraps that were fresh and filling! Although it was quite busy, the staff managed to be efficient and friendly. Highly recommended!
