Gyro wrap 9/10!
Michael A.

Surprised to see no one inside! Came in to give it a try and I am not disappointed, got a gyro wrap and it came with fresh veggies flavorful meat!

My first time here and my first time trying chicken shawarma and I found it dry so I hardly ate my chicken. The rice looks pretty but bland. The parsley salad was good enough. The humus was super yummy. My friend chicken kebab was good and the shrimp (not pictured) kebab was dry. All this plus a drink was $50 something. I paid separately for four pieces of baklava ($15 something) and it was ok. I had better baklava The people were nice and not much ambiance. Service was good.

The gentleman behind the counter let us taste one or two things we hadn't tried before. He was affable, enthusiastic, and this looks to be a family business. Everything was home and handmade. I got the kebab and my wife got the gyro. We kept feeding each other like bits because we couldn't believe how good everything was That was the CREAMIEST hummus I have ever had, and the rice (usually just filler) was good enough to be its own meal. It's very easy to dismiss or ignore this place. Please don't do that. There is not enough Mediterranean food in the area and this may be the best I've had.

The Zesty Shawarma reminds us of our time in the Middle East. Yes, the food is that authentic. In fact, it's probably the best Mediterranean food we've had in the U.S. The family who runs Zesty are warm, friendly and very sincere. Several times during our meal, they checked in on us... smiling and wanting to know how our meal was. It was delicious. We ordered some Gyros, Chicken Kabob with saffron rice, along with some falafels. It is also less expensive than some other Humus and Gyro places in Menifee. I've attached our receipt, $38.12 pre-tax. Our serving size I can only say was plentiful and overly generous. You decide. See attached photos. Five Stars!

Very authentic really good food. I would recommend the baba ghanoush and the chicken Shawarma over rice with the garlic paste.

The staff and management go above and beyond for their customers, and the food is superb! Talk about incredibly fresh bread, and ingredients, and don't even get me started on their cookies! My gosh, talk about delicious! Between my husband and me and my parents, we have tried the Club, the Cali, and the Chimichurri Steak sandwiches. All winners! If you need or are curious about their gluten-free focaccia bread, do NOT hesitate to order it! It's SOOOOO good! I almost prefer it over the regular focaccia bread; hard to say, though, because they are both delicious. We recently tried their Ahi Tuna bowl as well, and that was pretty good! Can't beat their sandwiches, honestly, but it was a nice, refreshing change of pace. The drinks they have are also wonderful. Not your typical Coke or Pepsi products. Another refreshing change of pace! Great flavors to choose from, and you have to try their Dragon Fruit Agua Fresca! Delicious! It's perfectly sweetened without being too much! All in all, this place is a winner! Eat here, you won't regret it!

I've already eaten here 3x in a month! They also have really cool old fashioned sodas and cookies which are soft . The location is nice, you can sit inside or outside. The only thing is the service could be a little better. Last time I was there they had all this staff working the counter but one person working the register and the line was backed up to the door and no one stepped in to assist. So that could be improved but the food is fantastic!

I recently came in with my Mom for a nice brunch after a doctor's appointment nearby. I ordered a chili cheese omelette with hash browns and a bottle of orange juice. The omelette was hearty and large, I had a great meal. My meal also came with a couple of slices of wheat toast and butter. Our service was great, we had a friendly, older lady take our order and bring it out to us. She was very polite and brought our food out quickly. The other staff were also quite nice, the dining room was kept clean and we were checked on. Coffee was consistently refilled. Over time, we spotted several individuals popping in for a Friday brunch. It's nice to see Menifee rally around this diner gem!

Now, We had the Pastrami on a roll sandwich, It was absolutely horrible, so much so we had a few bites and tossed it in the garbage. Long chewy pieces of brisket that tasted like it was frozen, thawed, in a microwave and tossed on a griddle. The bun was completely soggy that it literally fell apart after the first bite. no taste at all and just plain bad. Please, if this is normel, do customers a favor and take it off of the menu.

I found out about Kan Zaman from a 1 star review of neighbor down the street, called Baba Ali,…read moreacross from Lins Grand Buffet. Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona. But I am selling my short-term vacation rental in Temecula Wine Country and I don't have any food there because it's not my home. So I found this restaurant through the bubba review. I shall eat here as long as I stay in Temecula the service is warm and welcoming and the food is very satisfying. The portion of the lamb shank and rice was generous so that I save half of it in my own takeout box to have for another dinner with a pita bread. Looking forward to the leftovers. some men win I read the one-star review of no remember Alejandra was my wonderful server, checked up me often

We ordered: Chicken Mantar ($21): It comprised of sauteed Chicken with Mushrooms, Onions cooked in a Garlic sauce. It came with rice and was very flavorful. Eggplant Musakka ($23): This Eggplant dish was prepared in a Tomato sauce with fall off the bone Lamb shank and some garlic sauce. Accompanied with rice, it was also excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The only setback was that the food took almost 30 minutes to be served but the restaurant was fully packed. Service was also top notch. I would definitely be going back there again.
