" My friends had a great time at Au Za'atar! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming while the menu provides a nice variety of dishes. Whether you're looking for appetizers or entrees, there's something for everyone. Certainly worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has the most delightful Lebanese dishes! The chicken shawarma was tender and flavorful, served with freshly baked pita. I loved that the meal came with a variety of sauces as well. Service was top-notch; we never ran out of bread or water. Just a note that it is on the pricier side but for a special night out, it’s well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food with a friendly atmosphere. My family enjoyed every bite! We tried the mixed grill platter and it was filling for everyone for a decent price. The service was quick, but we did feel rushed towards the end of our meal when they cleared our plates a bit too soon. However, I would recommend this place to anyone craving Lebanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to visit Au Za'atar, but I left a bit disappointed. While the service was accommodating, the food was surprisingly bland. I tried several dishes and expected more authentic spices. The ambiance was nice enough but I expected a more authentic experience. I might explore other Lebanese places before coming back here. " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable experience! The appetizers were my favorite, especially the falafel and baba ghanoush. However, the main courses were just good, nothing extraordinary in my opinion. I would say the staff were friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable dining environment. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (1116)

" 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*)
