A gentleman was standing in the kitchen, & he just looked at us with no greeting. We sat down, looked at a menu, & waited 7 minutes before he came out. Finally he appeared & we ordered the small chicken shawarma wraps. The gentleman replied we could not have chicken shawarma wraps today. I laughed & we ordered a beef shawarma wrap, a falafel wrap, & a side of baba ghanoush, & 2 waters. We sat for 23 minutes, lol. I told my wife this is turning into such a bad experience. Finally the man showed up with the wraps. I mentioned we also ordered waters & baba ghanoush. He seemed confused but brought them out. A moment later I sank my teeth into some of the most delicious beef shawarma I've ever had. The shop owner was from Egypt & his beef had been marinated in warm spices like cinnamon. It was unexpectedly excellent. Then I tried the baba ghanoush. Wow!! It was not the usual flavoring that I love. It was totally unique & also excellent. It also had a tiny bit of heat in it from a chile pepper. Finally, the falafel was way above average, tasting so great. Anyway, I was ready to give Zalabia one star, but it always comes down to the food. And the food was 5 stars.

I read all the wonderful reviews, and decided to try it for the first time on a Saturday afternoon…read more It's in the same hidden plaza as Pomodoro Pizza. You can't see it from the road. You just have to make a turn near the Goodwill store on SR60 and drive up to Walmart to see it. It's to the left of Walmart. It's currently set up for take away orders. They are still in the middle of renovations. I'd love to dine in one day, but it's a very small space and the kitchen takes up most of it. I hope they can expand within the plaza because currently they wouldn't be able to fit a large crowd of people. The service was very friendly. It's family owned. I read an article about them while waiting for them to pack up my order. The owner is originally from Algeria, and perfected his culinary skills while living in Paris. The menu also has some great pictures of what they have to offer (Halal cuisine with vegetarian and gluten free offerings). The aroma was so enticing as I was headed home with the goods. It tasted just as good as the scent. I'm not a huge falafel fan, but decided to tries these on a whim. They were delicious. I'd order them again, but next time it will be in a wrap. The mixed grill was very good. You get your choice of 3 meats. I opted for beef, chicken, and lamb kabob. The meat was a very good quality. All 3 meats were tender, and seasoned well. I love that they include slices of grilled squash and other fresh veggies on top. It all sits on a huge portion of Taza rice. This meal is enough for 2 people. I also got the vegetarian Mujadarra because the description of it sounded so yummy. It was also a huge portion of rice mixed with lentils, sweet onions, and other spices. I will definitely be back to try more menu items. The Baba Ganouj made with eggplant is something I want to try. I'm also very interested in their salads and wraps. They have so many of them (some of them spicy). It's a great value and such a great assortment of Mediterranean items.

It is a small family run business that was in the middle of remodeling when we visited. They said the remodel should be done within a week or two. We started with the baba ganoush and falafel. We also both ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. The food came out fast and was very tasty. Both appetizers had great flavor. The chicken wrap was served with a mild hot sauce and a tahini sauce. Both sauces really complimented the wrap well. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and the prices were very reasonable. The folks that own and run this restaurant were very friendly and warm. It is worth checking out if you are in the mood for Mediterranean food.

We ordered two large cuban sandwiches and they were basically open faced sub sandwiches. I had raved and raved to my boyfriend about how great these were, what a letdown. I would not recommend them for an authemtic cuban sandwich.
