Au Za'atar East Village

Food, ambiance and service all 10/10!! The non-alcoholic frozen watermelon juice was the best thing I’ve ever had.. The lamb shank melted off the bone— so incredibly flavorful. Spicy hummus was amazing. Some of the best rice I’ve ever had. Our server Olivia was so welcoming, warm and sweet! She made the dinner even better, not overbearing but was there to bring us anything we needed as well as some awesome recommendations. Cannot wait to come back!

had an amazing first time at au za’atar! - baba ghanoush: but too much lemon juice but still delicious with the fresh pita - chicken soup: too salty for my taste but definitely hearty - spicy falafel: a MUST!! - beef salad: beautifully roasted with chèvre cheese - shish tawook: tender roasted chicken cubes with fluffy spiced rice. came with a big spicy jalapeño haha the space was intimate and service was friendly & quick!

AMAZING experience! The host, and server experience was top notch. They make you feel special. My husband has been here once before and he was excited to take me, I didn't have much of an expectation but they blew me away! My only point is who expensive they are but no stars taken away for that. Food comes out fresh, and I appreciate that they tell you it will take maybe even 30min to come. So I was well prepared and not asking questions. They ask you if you'd like appetizers meanwhile. I just always love transparency. We ordered the platter, and it didn't fill us enough so we ordered a second platter too. Thank u for a great experience, I would love to come back!!
