Au Za'atar East Village

5/5 stars! It was our first time trying Lebanese food and our server Ivan was amazing and walked us through the entire menu, sharing the most popular dishes and his personal favorites. He was on top of his service, constantly checking in on us and asking if we were ok. A fellow female server, I don't have her name, but she was also refilling our waters and offering help whenever we needed. The food was amazing, especially the Lamb Shank and spicy hummus. Thank you

I have been to so many middle eastern restaurants and I was born and raised in the Middle East!! This restaurant DID NOT taste good at all!! I grew up eating middle eastern food and this was a disappointment. They didn’t have authentic food that I was hoping for and the worst part was everything had to be ordered separately. Hummus and bread and rice in any middle eastern restaurant is given for free. It’s a part of the meal. Here we had to order separately. My kids wanted regular lemonade but the waiter was like no there is only mint frozen one. The prizes on these were outrageous too. It’s one thing if your food is good but when it’s not and you charge a lot it’s just not worth it. I really do not know how they got these ratings! I will never recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointing

Like it’s decent. Got in on a Friday at 7pm without a reservation. The mezze are much larger than they let on. They said order 2 per person. We ordered 0.6/person (2 mezze for 3 people) and we were literally full. They really need to give you more bread for the mezze/dips. I liked the pickles and radish and sauces that came with the mezze. The hummus with lamb was really solid. The dip with pomegranate was pretty good. Outdoor and indoor seating.
