"A great find. A few blocks from our house, but a destination place. Not much decoration, but great food, friendly people who work there, and (did I mention? great food. I have eaten falafal all over the world (Middle East, Europe, East Coast, West Coast and they're not all good. The falafal here is excellent spicy, garlicky, not stuffed too much, good sauce, inexpensive. Authentic menu of many hard to find Middle Eastern specialties."

I had the most delicious falafel sandwich for lunch today. Yummy. If you are a falafel orphan this is the best in Twin Cities. Too bad there are only 5 stars to rate it!

Great food and the owner's father was very kind and nice to chat with. I would highly recommend this place for take out or a nice place for a quiet meal with great service.
Katie
The falafel was amazing! Way better than other Middle Eastern restaurants in the area. I highly recommend Zait Za’atar if you’re looking for authentic and delicious food at a very reasonable price.
Bilal
I highly recommend trying the shawarma fries and the falafel sandwich. Be sure to order your food extra spicy—the cilantro hot sauce is fantastic! This restaurant deserves a perfect score of 5 for its helpful and friendly staff, unique and delicious menu, and convenient parking. View menu

The food was fantastic, and the service was equally impressive. We enjoyed chicken shawarma sandwiches, Za'atar fries, and hibiscus tea. The falafel sample was the best I've ever had—crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, unlike most that I've tried. We will definitely be coming back!
Meliha
Best chicken shawarma I've had in MN hands down! I recommend getting the sampler platter to try a lot of the stuff on the menu because it's all amazing. Very generous portions too. Everything from service to flavor was perfect. Already looking forward to my next time there...gotta try the whole menu!!
Maxine
Everything we tried was amazing- the sampler platter, falafel, and lentil soup were incredible. Very fresh ingredients and you can tell that a lot of care and love goes into the prep. The owner was very kind and gave us samples of their soup. We will be back and are excited to have this gem in the neighborhood! View menu

The food here is absolutely fantastic. It felt like a greatest hits tour from our 14 years spent in the Middle East. We indulged in creamy, smooth, and incredibly flavorful hummus, a delightful carb-loaded koshari, and some of the best falafel I've ever had. To top it all off, we enjoyed a refreshing karkade (hibiscus drink) that complemented the meal perfectly.

I recently visited Zait and Za'atar with my family and I have to say I found the food very, very tasty! Not only is it halaal, but their fries with Za'atar are a must have! I had the chicken shwarma and the chicken was moist, tender and well seasoned! None of the food was over seasoned or over salted. The front staff we talked to was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. I can't wait to return!
