    Beef Shawarma Wrap
    John W.

    I had a good experience at Zara's Mediterranean kitchen. The food was really amazing, but it was a little expensive. I was very impressed with the food at Zara's. I got the beef shawarma & it was delicious. I thought the flavor was really good & the meat was very tender. The garlic sauce was good too. We also tried the Zara sambosa which was just ok. Vibe was ok inside. It was just a big space with a lot of tables. Parking was good & service was good. I was surprised with the prices. I felt with the portion sizes especially I left a bit hungry & spent more than I expected.

    Greek Feta Salad

    I ordered this Greek salad through DoorDash. It was pretty good overall, however I wish it came with more dressing. I made my own dressing at home to add to it. Other than that, the ingredients were fresh and the overall flavor was really good.

    Beef Shish Kebab absolutely delicious
    Kimmy R.

    Fabulous experience ordering DoorDash. I could not believe they gave me 4 large pita bread halves for one kebab plate. Roasted red pepper dip was fresh and delicious and perfectly garnished. The Greek salad was also so fresh. The garlic sauce was to die for. The meat was mouthwatering!!!! I will definitely be ordering again. Probably the best Mediterranean food I've ever had!

    We visited Zara's for a weeknight family dinner a couple of weeks ago. When you walk in you can tell the restaurant ambiance is relaxing and you can tell the establishment is very clean. The service was excellent and the waiter took great care in explaining menu options, giving recommendations and ensuring my gluten allergy was accommodated. All of our food was delicious, we will definitely be back!

    Nice restaurant , music was a little loud, but nothing that interfered with conversation. Food was excellent. We had three different types of hummus. Euro meat with what appeared to be fresh pita bread, it was still hot! Service was a little slow, but nothing to be concerned about.

    The food is great! Everything that we ordered is all on point. The traditional hummus, fried kibbeh, beef and lamb shish kabob and even the swamarma lover platters are good. The server is attentive and friendly.

    Ordering food delivery is always a crapshoot. You read the reviews knowing sit in service is often different from to go or delivery service, but you take the chance. The lamb chops were a bit fatty and overcooked, but flavorful. They also were not as meaty as those pictured by eat-in diners. The rice was a bit dry. The salad was good, but thankfully I had my own utensils, as the requested utensils and napkins were not included. As they were delivering to a hotel, that should have been double checked. I really wanted to love this meal after all the glowing reviews. If in the area again, I'd try dining in to see if I can experience what the other reviewers have. I just can't recommend them for delivery. Not today.

    The food was flavorful and exactly what i was craving. The soft, warm pita bread with my hummus really hit the spot. The meats were seasoned well, but I wish the chicken was a little , but it was seasoned well. We were promptly greeted and seated upon walking in, and our orders taken shortly after. Our waiter was very nice and helpful with answering our questions regarding the different menu items. The atmosphere was casual with a with a unique and colorful Mediterranean flare. Can't wait to try this place a second time.

    Do not sleep on this place. This plate can easily feed two people and it is so good! Garlic sauce is fire!

    Salmon
    Yunus L.

    We have been here 4 -5 times and I love the interiors and the back ground very attractive. Another plus is to have a prayer area in here. I would take this review today as an opportunity for the restaurant to improve on the taste of their food. We ordered the lentil soup which was ok but needed some salt and we could add it and they did bring us the salt and pepper. We also ordered the Salmon which was not as juicy as usual and the chicken kubeidah were really not good. It was so much like a leather texture and can not even break it. Very dry and I can say I have never had such terrible preparation. Salmon I understand is usually dry at most places but they used to have a very flavorful and moist ones before.. but even that was not he best and I could accept that.. but the chicken kubeidah needs some major changes in the preparation or maybe it was just too old...

    They don't serve wine, so I asked the owner if diners could bring their own bottle if they pay a corking fee; she responded "no".

Lacking in flavor and overpriced. $20 for a combo. Lemon chicken soup was not good I ended up not eating it. It had a thick consistency with shredded pieces of chicken. Baklava was good My mom said the chocolate cake was OK. She likes the lemon square also and said it was not too sweet. Overall the place was just ok. Nothing to run to. Greek food is my favorite and I've tried better places. I did notice that they had Pakistan good as well as Indian. If I do return, I may try the butter chicken next time.

Euro Bakery makes custom cakes, desserts, & pastries. Many of their cakes are displayed for purchase at the counter as well as pastries and more. Perfect spot for lunch, enjoying a treat, or grabbing coffee. Besides desserts, they also have a full kitchen menu. I loved the chicken sandwich. They were out of croissants but I actually really enjoyed it on pita. The gyro sandwich was also really good. Fast and friendly service, really great prices! My sandwich was right around $8. Parking onsite. Nice interior dining space. It did seem like they were out of quite a few items on the menu but I think Hurricane Beryl might have contributed to that and is understandable. The lady we ordered with also gave us a complimentary pistachio baklava to try when we ordered their original baklava, which we thought was super nice. We will definitely go back and keep them in mind next time we need a custom cake!

During my visit, I was the only dine in customer and I'm thinking most customers may order to go or do catering as the atmosphere just isn't very homey at all. I reviewed the menu and was originally set on ordering some dish with beef tenderloin as they have a few, but I ended up selecting my go-to, a gyro. I didn't want fries, so I subbed for the lemon potatoes. The gyro was very large and filling, and tasty. The pieces of meat were just shaved and not crispy or anything like you may receive on some gyro at other places. The potatoes were homemade and basically 1/4 potatoes, sliced lengthwise. I was so full from the gyro that I only ate one of the potatoes but didn't think it was very lemony at all. Customer service was excellent the entire time and they will even come to your table and take your plate away as if they are full service, which they aren't . I also ordered a slice of coconut cream pie, or at least that's what they said it was. It had no cream in it and appeared to be a coconut custard pie not that different than the one I make at home. It was delicious as well.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the desserts. I recently bought the assorted cookie box along with several assorted cake desserts to take home and try. I spent close to $70 on the desserts, so I was really hoping they would be worth it. Unfortunately, we were extremely underwhelmed. The dessert I was most excited to try was the marzipan cookie because I've had a really good one at another Greek restaurant. This one is called a Kourambiedes (almond cookie), and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The texture was actually great, but the flavor was extremely off. It almost tasted like plastic. I'm not sure if the wrong ingredient was used or if there was too much baking soda or baking powder, but something definitely seemed off with it. I was also really excited to try the pistachio cake, but unfortunately it had very little pistachio flavor at all, which was a letdown. The baklava were dry, and the rest of the cookies in the box were also very dry and didn't stand out, especially considering how much we spent. I really do enjoy Niko Niko and their food, but based on this experience, I probably wouldn't spend that much on their desserts again.
