    Chicken Shawarma Platter
    Emmaly N.

    All of the food here is fresh and flavorful. I got the chicken shawarma platter, and everything from the vegetable mix to the chicken to the sauce was amazing. Truly some of the best chicken shawarma I've had, and the portions are huge. The hummus was nutty and creamy and delicious with the pita.

    Fattoush salad.

    I'm so sad. Such great reviews. #1 - our daughter took a bite of the sandwich. She pulled a long hair out of her mouth. Gross. #2 - Fattoush salad. Okay. Very little lettuce. Flavor is actually better than the first bite. Dressing is what makes it, where's the mint and parsley though? I love this salad, but this one was just meh. For almost $12 - I expected way more. #3 - chicken Shwarma platter. Good. Not great. Got 1/4 piece of pita. At $22, trust me, I expect not only more pita, but better quality. The chicken is shaven and dry. The toum is good though. #4 - I ordered grape leaves (dolmades). - I ordered ahead online. I waited for about 15 minutes; and only 1 other group of people came in after me and ordered food, the gentleman tells me they are out. Really?! You must have known that when I walked in. Well, they didn't have it. So ... I ordered the falafel as a replacement. They are decent. Served with hummus and some veggies. Lukewarm. Overall, I had high hopes. We grew up in Detroit and Dearborn where there are many amazing Persian, Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurants. I'll have to stick to Noosh or Rumi's Kitchen. This one lacked luster. And, for a fairly expensive lunch (& the fact that we couldn't eat a $13 sandwich due to their poor hygiene and quality control in-house) we won't waste our time. I hope the owners see this and make changes for the future.

    Mixed shawarma honestly hit the spot. one half was chicken and the other lamb. I couldn't pinpoint which one was better because both were flavorful and the best part is I don't have to because I can just order mixed again next time. Service was timely and friendly. I will say their baba ganoush was a different style than I used to and found it less of an eggplant flavor and more of other refreshing veggies. I personally prefer a stronger eggplant flavor but to each their own.

    First of all, it's crazy authentic and like being transported to the Middle East, which is amazing to see in John's Creek. Every single woman was in hijab and the music carries you to Tehran. Prices are very fair. The inside is relaxed with a mix of tables and booths. You go up to the counter, order and pay, then wait for your number to be called. I got the mixed shawarma platter ($17) which comes with chicken and beef. I wanted to substitute my fries for hummus but that wasn't allowed. I think it'd be nice if they made that an option as most other places do. The portion size was very generous and the food is EXTREMELY fresh. Everything is out of this world delicious and hands down the best shawarma I've had since living in Georgia.

    This was my first time visiting this establishment. I met with a friend who speaks Arabic and has been there several times and knows what to order. It's a very small restaurant with limited tables. You get your drink from a cooler and order at the register and pay. A food runner brings the food to the table by the number displayed. This restaurant doesn't not have alcohol. The food was very good and I enjoyed myself.

    Arabic Beef Shawarma (half eaten) with Garlic Sauce

    We ordered delivery and are floored at how delicious everything is. We got the Arabian beef plates and the hummus -10/10 all around. And the wrap is grilled to seal, so crispy. We can't wait to visit in person!

    Arabic Chicken Shawarma
    Levin K.

    Wow!! This shawarma gave me flashbacks to my childhood in the streets of Dubai!! My wife and I got the Arabic Chicken Shawarma. It comes with Chicken shawarma cut into pieces, perfect crispy fries, a good portion of creamy garlic sauce and a chili paste, and the most delicious cucumber pickles. This family owned business is soo clean and neat. The customer service was outstanding. The friendly woman at the counter explained the menu to us and answered all our questions. I definitely can't wait to come back! We couldn't even wait to get home to let all our family know about this new place that we found.

    Beef kabob platter
    Amna C.

    I met up with some friends for lunch at Al Zein. This is a nice halal Mediterranean spot with a variety of options on the menu and ample seating space. It's a family run business with friendly and efficient service. I ordered the fatoush salad and the grilled beef kabob platter. The portion sizes were very large and there was a lot of food! I also tried the kibbeh and I would highly recommend that. It was delicious, definitely my favorite thing. The free tea and coffee at the back was a nice surprise as well!

    I first tried food from Al Zein at a catered event and was really impressed. I went to the restaurant for the first time today and placed a takeout order. The chicken, beef, and falafel shawarma were all excellent. I am not a red meat fan, but the beef shawarma tasted so good. My daughter had a chicken strip kids meal and the chicken was excellent as well. Everything was excellent in portion size and quality. We will definitely come back and refer our friends.

The ambiance, decor and overall vibe is very upscale. Service was top notch, from the host to our server. Big shoutout to Kaleigh/Kaylie who was the sweetest and gave us the best recommendations. I always order the grilled wings because these are to die for, definitely a must!!! All of the dips in smaller orders we got were delicious with the complimentary bread, Muhammara with the walnut is my new obsession. For main entrées, we went with the Honey Harissa Chicken and the Lamb Neck along with an order of the buttery rice to share, with no regrets. The Harissa chicken was a classic spin, perfectly seasoned and paired with pickled onions and salad. The lamb neck was so home-y and rich, falling off the bone, with a perfect broth for the buttery rice. For dessert, we opted for the classic Baklava, solid classic one paired with rose water ice cream, and the Turkiramisú, which was a pleasant surprise, paired with turkish coffee such a delight. Overall an amazing dinner, perfect for solo, date night or groups. Parking is complimentary valet or self parking in the medical center next door.

My husband and son were thrilled with their food (taco Al carbon and enchilada de espincaca) mine was less thrilling. Nothing wrong with it, just kind of bland. All are probably more authentic than I'm used to. I tasted my son's taco meat and it was amazing! The menu is overwhelmingly large and hard to decide.

There it is like every corner has a good place... here in Alpharetta/roswell... it is spotty. This is a hidden spot... hidden in plain view but hidden all the same. I must have been past it a dozen times but had never noticed it. The ambiance was nice but simple. It is not 5 star dining... but it is not run down worry what you're getting either. It is a descent place. The service was good... it wasn't busy here... so I think we got a lot of focus for sure. The menu is extensive. Lots of dishes to choose from. My wife always orders the guac when we go to Mexican. I get the queso... I can't stand guac. I mean just look at it... I swear I have too many kids and changed too many diapers to eat anything that looks like this! Anyway once past the aps we got to our meals and I was pleasantly surprise. My boys liked it, I liked it, and my wife liked it! Eureka... a Mexican place that we all enjoyed and it wasn't out of this world expensive! I recommend stopping in and trying a thing or two.. you'll be glad you did!
