" Dining at Au Za'atar was an unforgettable experience! The food was astoundingly authentic, bringing back memories from my trips to Lebanon. I had the grilled lamb and the flavors were simply overwhelming—in the best way! The staff was helpful, always making sure we had enough bread and sauces. The only thing that could improve is the waiting time before service started, but it was a minor inconvenience. Overall, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Au Za'atar and it was an incredible experience! The Lebanese cuisine was bursting with flavor. The tabbouleh was fresh and zesty, while the hummus was creamy and indulgent. Our server was prompt and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. The ambiance was cozy, making it the perfect place for a night out with friends. I've already decided to come back!

" I've been to a lot of Lebanese restaurants, and Au Za'atar holds its own. The flavors are authentic, and the ambiance feels uniquely Middle Eastern. While the prices are steep for some dishes, the quality makes it worth considering for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taste was phenomenal, from appetizers to the main dish. The baklava was simply to die for! I recommend bringing a crowd and ordering to share to experience a bit of everything. The atmosphere is lively. However, this place can get pretty packed during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a ton of great things about Au Za'atar, I finally decided to check it out. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the seasoning was on point! They also have a good selection of wines that pair well with the dishes. The atmosphere is vibrant, although a little crowded, but that just added to the authenticity. I can’t wait to go back!

" I wish I could give this plate a solid review but sadly, I can only say average dishes and below average service. My experience was marred by slow service and overcooked meat. I had high expectations coming in but it didn’t quite deliver. I hope they can improve on that front. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing place for Lebanese food with a bustling vibe. We had a large group and ordered a bit of everything. The flavors were authentic, and everyone had a great time. I'd recommend booking in advance as it was quite busy when we visited. " (*Curated Review*)
