I had a very fresh and healthy lunch at Zait and Zaatar, a quaint and authentic Lebanese restaurant in Anaheim. I can't stop thinking about the Lebanese-style cheese-filled pizza!

Five stars absolutely deserved, this place has everything. It contains hospitality, amazing management, a very clean environment, wonderful staff and phenomenal food. I absolutely cannot say it enough, it was packed for good reason. It’s delicious, well priced and coming from far away out of state, very needed.

If you're craving delicious, authentic Lebanese food, Zait & Zattar is a must visit. At first glance, the space feels small, but it’s warm and inviting with a cozy charm. The few tables are surrounded by thoughtful, eclectic decor, including charming little items hanging from the ceiling.
Ahmed (apologies if I’m spelling that wrong!) was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better.
We ordered the Combo, Spicy Potatoes, Falafel, Beef Bowl, and Sheesh Tawook. Every dish was full of bold, well-balanced flavors, but the standout for me was definitely the Spicy Potatoes. They were crispy, golden brown perfection with a surprising and delightful citrusy kick. Absolutely addictive.

Consistently great food. Any time you're in the mood for good shawarma and fresh bread, Z&Z hits the spot.
I love family run restaurants that show you a love of their food and culture.
This restaurant is small yet has so much to offer. The service is attentive and a smile was always offered. The menu is sure to offer you a few must have items. The menu is full of so many delicious options including bowls, wraps, salads, sandwiches, plates and bakery items. As they are all homemade you simply cannot go wrong with anything you order.
The olive oil is sourced from family in Lebanon and their herb mix and sumac are also homemade. You simply cannot beat the carefully crafted recipes and authentic flavors that come out of their kitchen. To make your meal even more traditional all their breads are cooked in house as well. Their saj breads and pitas simply cannot be beat as they are so soft and pillowy.

If you’re ready to step outside your comfort zone and go on a flavorful food adventure, Zait & Zaatar is a must-try in OC.
What makes it special? For starters, the bakery is in-house, and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. They even use olive oil from their family farm, and you can taste the difference.
✨ Must-tries: • Combo Pizza (Cheese & Za’atar) – Za’atar is a wild herb blend from the Levant, packed with flavor. It’s earthy, aromatic, and completely addictive. • Tabouleh Salad – Not your average side salad. Bright, fresh parsley with a strong vinegar punch. Super refreshing. • Philadelphia Steak Wrap – Thin-sliced beef shawarma meets tahini in this juicy, flavorful wrap. • Chicken Shawarma Arabi – For a lighter option, this comes with their signature garlic sauce. • Hummus + Saj Bread – So creamy, so smooth. Perfect combo. • Cheese Pie & Spinach Pie – Flaky, savory, and a great snack or starter.
The atmosphere is casual, and the staff is welcoming.
This spot is a hidden gem for anyone craving fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food. The falafel plate was vibrant and satisfying, with crispy falafel, creamy hummus, and an assortment of crisp veggies and tangy pickles that balanced the dish beautifully. The warm, fluffy pita and the grilled wrap were both well-prepared and packed with bold spices. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared, and the outdoor seating added a cozy, relaxing touch to the whole experience.
Amazing and friendly
