" Zaina has become my go-to spot for Middle Eastern food. The lamb gyro is to die for, and I always get the Greek fries as a side. The staff remembers my order and greets me like a friend. The layout isn't fancy, but it feels homey. Love this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaina has been my favorite spot for Middle Eastern cuisine for years. They have the best falafel and their special garlic sauce makes everything better. The dining area might not be the fanciest, but the food and service easily make up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family to Zaina during the weekend, and we all loved our meals! I particularly enjoyed the falafel plate. The kids loved their gyros; they were juicy and packed with flavor. The service could have been faster, but everything else was fantastic. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I expected more from Zaina based on the hype. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't wow me. I found it quite pricey for what I received. The falafel was decent but could have been more flavorful. The atmosphere was cozy, but my service was a bit slow. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the experience at Zaina. The food was fresh, the lamb was juicy, and the baklava was sweet but not overly so. This is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys Middle Eastern cuisine. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming to Zaina, partly because of recommendations from friends. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The chicken kebabs were dry and lacking in seasoning, making them taste bland. The atmosphere didn’t help much, as it felt cramped. The pricing was also higher than similar places I've visited. I don't think I will return. " (*Curated Review*)
