Au Za'atar East Village

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!!

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
