" I joined my colleagues for lunch at Zaad, and it was delightful! The portions were generous, and everyone was satisfied with their meals. I had the kofta kebab, which was spiced perfectly. The ambiance was lively and welcoming. Overall, a great outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a whim, a friend and I decided to check out Zaad, and I’m so glad we did! The staff was so friendly right from the moment we walked in. I had the chicken saj and it was divine - flavorful and well-seasoned. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, perfect for enjoying good food. I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. The service was extremely slow, and we had a mix-up with our order. While the food itself was tasty, the stress of incorrect dishes and waiting too long made the experience sour. I might revisit in a quieter period to see if it's any better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit Zaad and have never been disappointed. Their chicken shawarma is always fresh and bursting with flavors. The portions are generous, particularly on special days. However, I did notice that during busy hours, the service can slow down; patience is key! The atmosphere remains upbeat and family-friendly throughout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaad is where I discovered what real Middle Eastern food tastes like! The falafel was exceptional - crispy on the outside and soft inside, just how falafel should be. The staff were very attentive, making sure my experience was great from start to finish. This is definitely one of my new favorite spots in the city. I highly recommend trying their lentil soup as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Zaad a couple of times, and while I love the food, service can be hit or miss. The staff is usually friendly, but there are moments when the wait time is too long for just a simple order. I recommend this place if you don't mind a little wait in exchange for good food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Zaad for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. The lamb shawarma was packed with flavor, and the garlic sauce perfectly complemented the dish. It felt good to enjoy genuinely authentic Middle Eastern food. The ambiance was cozy, and service was friendly. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
