Casual Mediterranean cuisine restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. I'll definitely return in the near future.

As a middle eastern person: this falafel is not good. The flavor and texture are off and it’s dry. I tried to like it by going a second time but ultimately decided it was not for me. I could see someone who hasn’t had good falafel enjoying this place. They have a good amount of options, but kind of pricy. Service is great though.

The food is very good and the portions are ample. Their meats are flavorful and the saffron rice is moist. We are here whenever we make our way to Capitola or Aptos.

I recently visited Zameen Mediterranean Cuisine in Aptos, having heard it might surpass the 41st Avenue location in terms of ingredient quality and their well-known rotisserie chicken. While the experience was enjoyable, I didn’t notice any significant differences in flavor or quality between the two locations.
The rotisserie chicken, which I had high hopes for, tasted much the same as at the other location — still delicious and well-seasoned but not necessarily better. The portions, however, did seem smaller, which was a bit disappointing given the price point. If you're someone who loves larger servings, you might notice this as well.
That being said, the ambiance in the Aptos location was quite pleasant. It's a more mellow spot that feels cozy and laid-back, perfect for a relaxed meal. The seating is comfortable, and the atmosphere is great for a casual dining experience.
Customer service was also a highlight. The staff were friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring we had a good experience. It was easy to ask questions and get recommendations.
Overall, while the food was tasty and the service was excellent, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype in terms of being superior to the 41st Avenue location.

It's no longer there...a taco place is in that site
I had the lamb burger with sweet potato fries. Both were so yummy. Plenty to eat.

You pay first(including tip) and then receive service.
Wrap and chicken bowl were good. Real saffron on rice?. Pizza ok, little too cheesy.
And I didn’t enjoy the vibe and decoration of this place. Expected more. There were two very big photos (very old definition of the region: donkey!) while precious original pcs of art (like Khatamkari) was in dirty, dark restroom.

Appetizers were good, main dishes were not. *This is totally my opinion!* And I just may not be one for Mediterranean food.
