" I was eagerly awaiting my meal after all the positive reviews, but I left feeling not too impressed. The lamb was overly fatty, and the rice was bland. The service was average, as my server seemed to forget about my table a couple of times. I really wanted to love it but was just left with an ‘okay’ experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" You have to visit Zad Mediterranean Cuisine! I recently ordered their chicken shawarma and was blown away. It was juicy and flavorful, wrapped in homemade pita. The staff was friendly, making sure we were taken care of throughout our meal. The only downside was that the restaurant could get quite busy during lunch hours, but that just speaks to how good the food is. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I walked into Zad with high expectations, and they did not disappoint! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, which made me feel right at home. I had the lamb kabobs, which were tender and well-seasoned, served with a side of fluffy rice. The service was friendly, and the staff checked in frequently to make sure everything was alright. A lovely dining experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Zad after hearing so much about it. The ambiance was lovely, and we were seated promptly. Unfortunately, my meal was not that great. I ordered the chicken kabobs, but they were a bit dry. My partner enjoyed his meal, but overall, I found it to be overpriced. I might consider giving it another shot, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food with very welcoming service! My friends and I ordered the mixed mezze and were delighted with everything. The labneh was incredibly silky, and the warm bread paired perfectly with it. We felt like we were in a true Mediterranean experience. The only downside was that the music was a bit loud, making conversation challenging. However, the culinary experience made it all worthwhile! " (*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*)
