    Chicken Rice Bowl
    Michelle Z.

    Solid uber eats option! They did a BOGO deal so it was ~$21 for 2 bowls. The chicken rice bowl was good, had lots of herbed rice, and was packed with veggies. It felt healthy and super filling, and the chicken was cooked nicely -- not dry at all and very flavorful. It comes with a tahini sauce as well. Would def recommend for a healthy takeout delivery option!

    Wow!!!! So so so yummy! I ordered the chicken keto bowl. The chicken was so flavorful and moist and the cauliflower rice and veggies were cooked to perfection!! The meal was filling but not heavy. I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for fresh authentic food. Can't wait to order from here again!

    Lamb & Beef Kabob Rice Bowl (half eaten already because it was so good!) and Chicken Rice Bowl
    Alice S.

    I discovered this place while scrolling through Uber Eats and saw a BOGO promotion going on. So why not give it a try! Wow I must say I was pleasantly surprised when my order arrived because not only did these bowls look very appetizing, but they also didn't skimp out on the portion sizes. I ended up trying the beef and lamb kabob rice bowl and the chicken rice bowl. My favorite was the beef and lamb kabob rice bowl. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a photo of everything until I was already halfway through eating the kabob bowl. The beef and lamb (4 pieces per order) was very tasty, and I absolutely loved the pink yogurt sauce! The roasted and pickled veggies also paired well with the meat and rice. I'd definitively order the beef and lamb kabob rice bowl from this place again! Although I'd skip the chicken rice bowl in the future because the bowl was a bit too salty, and the tahini sauce that came with it wasn't that good.

    Found this place on doordash and it was beyond my expectations. I was feeling a bit helthy so decided on Mediterrenean, not only was my craving satisfied, my body thanked me. I ordered their chicken rice bowl and falafel with hummus so it usually lasts me for 2 lunches at work. Their proportions are big so it matches their price tag. It is quite expensive but you can taste the quality and weigh the proportions. I plan to try other things in their menu as time passes by. They also have gluten free and keto options so please make sure to try them!

    Ordered Ubereats because of a discount. Really good meals. Orders: - Lamb and Beef Kabob Rice Bowl: Great flavors. Also enjoyed the rice and pickled veggies! It could easily be two meals for me - Chicken Rice Bowl (gluten-free): Yummy flavors. Chicken was well seasoned and moist. Rice was again really good! I've only had this place once but I feel like it would not disappoint if I order again.

    Chicken Rice Bowl (but a few bites in, oops)

    Ordered through UberEats because of a promotional deal and I am SO glad that I did. This was such a delicious meal. I ordered 2 chicken bowls (no modifications) and they arrived hot and fresh. The chicken was blissfully moist and I can't believe the value of each bowl - just look at how much chicken they give you! I find that restaurants often skimp on the protein serving, but Za'atar definitely doesn't skimp on anything. I loved the pickled onions, veggies, and turmeric-y sauce that came with it! And don't even get me started on the rice. The rice is so flavorful and pillowy. I wouldn't hesitate to order again.

    I was in the SF area this weekend and was excited to finally try Za'atar after hearing great reviews about it from friends. I placed the order ahead of time and went to go pick it up. When I arrived, I was thrilled about the parking situation. It's located in a very large parking lot, so it was super easy to find parking (unlike so many restaurants in SF) and there were large signs that made it easy to find Za'atar. The food was ready for me to pick up and take home. The worker was super nice and friendly. When I got home and opened the bag, I was amazed at how colorful and beautiful the food looked! Then when I tasted it, I could not believe it. This was without a doubt the BEST Mediterranean food I've ever had! Ordered these: * Mediterranean Salmon Rice Bowl * Beef & Lamb Kabob Rice Bowl * Side Hummus with Warm Pita Just from one meal, I can already confidently say that this is one of my favorite restaurants in all of SF. Looking forward to returning soon to try more delicious food here!

    Hummus with Mushroom Ragu
    Dana Z.

    Absolutely delicious. I am in love with the lamb and beef kabob bowl and ordered it twice. I think the key is to add artichoke hearts and a side of veggie :) also, hummus with mushroom ragu is very tasty. One feedback I'd like to give to Za'atar is that for some reason, the portion for my second order was smaller than the first order - please keep portion size consistent! I remember how excited and impressed I was with my first order, not only because the colors were beautiful, but also how great it smelled, all contributing to the wonderful mix of flavors and texture of everything in the bowl. I will definitely order more from Za'atar and try a few other things on the menu, such as the salmon rice bowl. Overall, great job, keep it up!

    Mediterranean Salmon Rice Bowl
    Jessica L.

    I was nervous about meat drying out during the delivery process, but when I got my salmon rice bowl it was still super moist and tender and tasty! The balance of spices is great, and the rice was super flavorful. Everyone's food came well-labeled, so there was no confusion as to whose meal was whose. I love that they have many keto and healthy options. Highly recommend for lunch delivery, and I would love to come back and try more!

    The beef and lamb wrap was good, but I don't recommend the falafels. They were bland and the texture wasn't my fave. 3.5 stars!

There was complimentary bread which was insanely good and fluffy and warm plus tahini and an onion tomato sauce I think along with radishes and olives. We are not olive ppl sadly but I tried one and it was pretty okay. The service was great and all the servers were super attentive and accommodating. The Stuffed falafel was so good and huge 1 is enough for 2 people. The mosabaha was very refreshing and so good. The meat combo was good overall and everything was very herbally spiced, I wasn't impressed by the lamb tho but the kebab, hummus, and chicken were great! I haven't had Mousakhan before so not sure how it should taste but to me it was sweet and savory with really well cooked chicken. I honestly felt pretty healthy overall cause I was eating hella veggies and everything tasted so fresh. The kunafa was good we got it crispy and was yummy imo but was a lil oily (I think this is normal tho). Arab food isn't really spicy but it is spiced and very herbal which I felt in the food here, I appreciate that chili sauce is provided for the spice lovers. Overall, would highly recommend. It was about $100ish for everything and they recently increased their prices but tbh the portion sizes are huge and I feel like it is so worth it we had hella leftovers. If we had 4 ppl instead of 2 it would've been perfect portions for everyone.

    We've come across and heard about Old Jerusalem before and felt like having middle eastern food…read moretonight, so we took a chance and tried them out. When we arrived at around 7:30 pm, there were tables available. It's a comfortable cafe-like restaurant with mural paintings on the wall. Service was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as the ambiance and waitstaff. ***OUR PICKS*** BEEF SHAWERMA ENTREE ~ the beef was overly salted, saffron rice was ok, hummus was really thick, like peanut butter. My guy ordered this and thought it was average. 3/5 LAMB SHISH KEBAB WRAP ~ this was my dish. I ate one half of the wrap and it only held two cubes of lamb meat. The lettuce and tomatoes made the wrap bland. The meat was seasoned, but everything was plain, so it needed more seasoning. Honestly, this was missing flavor! I'll have to add something to it when I eat the rest of this wrap at home. 2.5/5 HALF ROASTED CHICKEN AND RICE ~ Our friend ordered this dish. It needed more sumac. This tasted like plain roasted chicken. Maybe it needs more seasoning while marinating. It wasn't dry, so that's a relief. Rice was ok and it wasn't dry or soggy. 3.5 We've been spoiled and have had better food in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Nothing stood out for any of us. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Sadly, probably won't be back.

Of course a Greek emphasis, but lots of intersection with my Croatian-American culinary heart! The smelts are fishy in a good way, nice crunch, texture, tang of lemon, & sharpness of garlic spread. Very difficult to find, never mind getting it right. The octopus & stuffed calamari were the right texture, seasoning, & flowing with olive oil. Finished with some greens. What a treat! Pro-tip: get the smelts, be bold. My wife raved about her moussaka. Artisan. Nice hint of cloves, right amount of yogurt béchamel. The lamb, beef, eggplant (not watery), & potato all stood out. My sons loved their salmon & chicken. I sampled and confirmed. My bronzino was FANTASTIC. This one was big & better quality than I usually buy. I got it with bones, head, & skin. Poured on olive oil, more salt, & garlic. Yeah, gotta use the hands, chew...graciously pulling out the bones, looking as civilized as possible. Folks, this is Mediterranean: a great fish should be eaten like this. Crisp skin, get the meat from the cheeks & head. Again: emphasis on olive oil mixed with fish juices from bones & lemon! We were stuffed and shared a Baklava. Nobody does it better. Except James Bond, 007, but in a different context. 2 glasses of wine & 2 Shirley Temples for kids. The service was excellent. Attentive. We were in the back & it wasn't loud. Classy servers & classy people enjoying themselves. Oh: great portions too. $407, including 20% tip. Great value for what you get. We've come here for special occasions. They've strengthened the bond, we'll be back more often. So reminiscent of what I eat in Croatia when I visit. Thank you Hellas!
