" What a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Mediterranean food! I tried the kofta kabob platter, and it was delicious. The seasoning was spot on, and it came with fresh bread that was warm from the oven! A really nice touch. The only downside was the wait for a table since it was busy, but the food made it worth it. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zad is a fabulous dining experience! I absolutely loved the fresh baked bread served with their hummus, which was creamy and packed with flavor. My group ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was flavorful! The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was great for a casual night out. Will be returning to try everything else on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zad Mediterranean Cuisine is a hidden gem! The flavors in their dishes are incredible, and it truly felt like I was eating home-cooked meals. I had the lamb quzi, and it was rich and hearty—just the comfort food I was looking for. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. This place is definitely on my radar for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an overall great experience at Zad! The mixed grill tray was more than enough for two, with generous portions of chicken, lamb, and beef. Each protein was perfectly grilled and packed with flavor. The ambiance was lively yet cozy; definitely a family-friendly place. However, our drinks took a bit longer than expected, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ll start off by saying the food at Zad is truly authentic! From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. The chicken kabob was tender and juicy, while the spices they used brought out such a depth of flavor. The staff were kind and attentive, really enhancing our dining experience. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zad has become my new favorite restaurant for Mediterranean food! My family and I shared the family feast platter, and it was plenty for all, filled with various meats, rice, and dips. The service was exceptional, they even made sure my kids were taken care of. I particularly loved the tabbouleh salad—so fresh and zesty! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zad has an incredible atmosphere, and you can tell how much effort goes into their dishes. The chicken was juicy and perfectly spiced, while the baklava melted in my mouth. Definitely a great place for anyone looking for an authentic community feel. I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
