I stopped by Zatar + Olive in Davison shortly after they opened, and the first thing you notice…read morewhen you walk in is the smell. The whole place smells like garlic and spices in the best way possible, and everything looked very clean. The staff were friendly and even took time to explain what za'atar seasoning is for people who might not know. The food itself was really good. The chicken shawarma was creamy, smoky, crunchy and flavorful, especially with the tahini added, and the pickled turnips gave it a great crunch and tang. The tabbouleh was very finely chopped with a fresh, bright flavor. The real standout for me though was the falafel. Instead of the usual dense ball of chickpeas, theirs was shaped almost like a donut with a hole in the center. It was really crunchy on the outside and almost creamy inside, which made it easily the best thing I tried. The za'atar fries and large pita chips were also good, and overall the prices were very reasonable. That said, the ordering process felt really disorganized. Someone was taking orders by hand (very kind man literally writing in pen and paper), writing them on a note and handing them to the cook. It seemed like nobody quite knew who was doing what, and several finished orders were sitting while staff tried to figure out whose food they belonged to. Two orders who came in after me actually got their orders before me before the staff realized but it did not deter it from happening multiple times while I sat there. Everyone was friendly, but clearly a little overwhelmed and confused as they tried to confirm which orders were done and who they belonged to and what food I was already packed and what was still outstanding. The layout also adds to the confusion. When you walk in the door you're immediately at the cashier counter, which actually ends up being the end of the line, so you have to walk all the way through to the other side or "front" to start ordering. A lot of people were standing there trying to figure out where the line even started. Seating is very limited inside. There are maybe six small tables where people can sit while waiting for food, but it wouldn't be comfortable for dining in. I'd plan on this being more of a takeout spot. There is an outside patio, and parking is plentiful once you find the entrance. It looks like you should be able to enter the lot from M-15 or State Street, but you actually have to turn onto 3rd Street and come in from the back. They were busy when I went but that was not the reason it took an additional 23 minutes after placing my order before I walked out with my food; this was due to murky processes and disorganization and confusion. That said, for a restaurant that just opened a week or two ago, some growing pains are expected. Overall, Zatar + Olive feels like a promising addition to Davison. The food is flavorful, the prices are fair, and once they get the ordering process and flow figured out, I think it could become a really popular spot.

Tried Zatar & Olive today and sadly it didn't live up to the hype for me. The food itself was good,…read morebut nothing particularly special -- especially with Pita Way just around the corner. The topping options for wraps and bows felt pretty limited- which aren't listed nor can you see behind the counter so you have to ask specifically what's available. I asked if I could add cheese and was told the only option was feta, which was confusing since the menu also has a cheese bread with mozzarella on it. The pricing structure also didn't make much sense. You could add rice or fries inside a pita for $0.99, but a side of rice was $6.99. There's also a combo with fries and a drink for $3.99 extra, but no option to swap fries for rice. Really wasn't trying to spend an extra $7 for a side of rice when my sandwich was $11. The .99 rice inside my pita easily should've been available to be on the side.. A kids menu would also be a nice addition. I know they're a newer business, so maybe they're still figuring things out. The food was good, just not something that stood out enough to make me choose it over other nearby options.

I can honestly say our dining experience was exceptional, all thanks to our waitress, Michaela. I am no stranger to fine dining. In fact, I have dined at numerous Michelin star restaurants, and I can confidently say Michaela displayed exemplary customer service. My mom ordered soup and salad. However, mom mentioned she doesn't eat iceberg lettuce, Michaela thoughtfully suggested a spinach and kale alternative with the traditional toppings, and it was absolutely perfect. She could have simply said that iceberg was the only option. However, Michaela suggested that thoughtful alternative. That small act of care made a huge difference in our dining experience, and my mom was utterly pleased. What stood out most was that she didn't HAVE to do that. She CHOSE to. That level of initiative and customer service truly elevated our entire dining experience. She was, without a doubt, the highlight of our visit. We were so impressed that we asked to speak with a manager, which happened to be the general manager, just to share how amazing she was. We even mentioned that she should be appointed to train other staff, only to find out that she had just stepped into that exact role. That actually came as no surprise at all. Michaela represents exceptional customer service at its finest. Because of her, we will absolutely be back.

It was fairly crowded when we got there - a good indication since it was 1:00 pm on a Wednesday. a server was with us immediately and we had drinks in no time. same with placing our orders & receiving our food - fast & friendly. my brothers ham & bean soup looked delicious it was easy to tell it was homemade. my corned beef & pastrami w Swiss & Cole slaw on grilled rye - called the Detroit Shocked Sandwich - made my mouth water looking at it and was just as tasty as it looked. Plus let me tell you they do not skimp on anything You get a STACK of meat on it. It was all I could do to finish half of it. my family is originally from the Detroit area where they have some of the best delis and I can confidently say that Omega would fit right in. I haven't had a sandwich like that since going to one of the Detroit Delis that specialize so I'm over the moon after eating at Omega. It was $16.95 for my sandwich. I think that price is on point when you take a look at how much a fast food combo runs these days. You definitely get your moneys worth at Omega. Plus you get to sit back and have great service from a very friendly attentive waitstaff. My brother having been there many times also said they've tried a lot of other things on the menu and there's nothing that has disappointed them. His wife particularly enjoys their breakfast. So if you are down in Grand Blanc or even if you aren't - it's worth a little drive - stop in and give Omega a try!

The hummus unfortunately had almost no flavor and mostly tasted like plain chickpeas. The pita chips had a nice crisp texture but were very small broken pieces and also lacked seasoning. The shawarma had plenty of chicken and a nice char from the grill, but it wasn't shaved spit style and mostly tasted like garlic. There was very little pickle and no noticeable sauce, which made the sandwich extremely dry overall. The grilled pita was a nice touch, but the flavors didn't quite come together. Hoping they dial in the seasoning a bit because the location and portions have a lot of potential.
