The food here was absolutely amazing! I got the beef Gyros for me and my family, it was amazing! The service was as amazing as the food! The workers there were very kind and nice. The ambiance was very great it felt like I was in a café in Paris! The music they used was nice, definitely recommend would come here again, 9/10.

This place is the best Mediterranean-style restaurant in the area. Combo #1 with chicken kabob and beef lule kabob is my favorite dish here. My wife loves their Greek chicken wrap. Parking can be a little pain, but be sure to park in the back and make sure you get your parking ticket validated (free)

Lemon Zest Cafe is a cute spot to catch a delicious, casual Mediterranean lunch. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to your table. I went during lunch time on a week day and there was no wait. The food came out fairly fast.Foodwise.. it was so good! ! I ordered the beef lule kabob plate with Shirazi salad and yogurt with cucumbers and it did not disappoint! The beef lule was flavorful and tender. The dish came with a grilled chili pepper which added a nice spice with every bite. The Shirazi salad was refreshing and the cucumber yogurt was good as a sauce for your protein. Don't forget to sprinkle the sumac on your dish!I would definitely come here again.

Tried to get a simple gyro here and after ten min of waiting I had to get a refund to catch my Uber. I’m sure the food is ok but it felt so understaffed I didn’t get to take anything home. Super hungry and super

I went for dinner back to back evenings for the chicken kabob dinner. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I chose the half rice and half Greeks salad. I ordered the falafels one evening. They're as hard and dry. However the plus was that they came with hummus.

I've ordered this place for pickup and doordash probably ten times now. the portions are large, the foods great, and I love the pita here! I always have leftovers for lunch the next day and it always taste just as fresh. I've tried the chicken, the salmon, the hummus apps, the joobideh kabob & my cousins have tried the teriyaki chicken. my go to spot when I don't know what to eat!

Oh my goodness, let me tell you about my latest obsession. Lemon Zest Cafe's Shawarma Wraps! I am absolutely obsessed with this place and their incredible culinary creations. The moment I sink my teeth into one of their shawarma wraps, it's like a burst of flavor explosion in my mouth. The tender and succulent meat, perfectly seasoned with aromatic spices, is simply divine. And the addition of freshly squeezed lemon zest adds an irresistible tanginess that takes it to a whole new level. Every bite feels like a tantalizing adventure for my taste buds! Not only are the flavors out of this world but the presentation is also top-notch, beautifully wrapped in soft pita bread, filled to the brim with juicy meat and accompanied by vibrant veggies and creamy sauces. It's perfection encapsulated in a single wrap! If you haven't tried Lemon Zest Cafe's Shawarma yet, trust me, you're missing out on pure culinary bliss!Parking: First floor

When Lemon Zest 1st opened, their steak was amazing n soft (believe it was a filet) went back about a week ago, and they changed the red meat, was on the rough side and noticed had lack of flavor. Key to a successful business... BE CONSISTENT, otherwise, business will fail. Probably not going back unless they change their meat back to the filet.

Lack of customer service.Zero engaging regarding their menu... you need to guess what do you want ... and what do you want to drink and you serve yourself

The food here is delicious! I'm so sorry but I forgot to take pictures. I had the lunch special of grilled chicken kabob with cucumber salad and yogurt sauce. It came with a wonderful side salad. They have sodas/drinks by the can, which is fine with me. My husband had the lamb gyro which he loved. His also came with a nice side salad.As for the service we didn't know that you were to get your own silverware and napkins. The poor waitress, who didn't speak much English, just kept looking at us and not bringing the silverware or napkins. After we got our act together we figured it out and everything was wonderful. The lemon decorations and lights were a cute addition. I would definitely go again.

Give credit where due which Lemon Zest deserves. I always appreciate places where you can taste freshness and quality ingredients, which is apparent not only when looking at the food but also within the first bite! Not to mention inside this location was especially clean, which shows they care about themselves and how they treat their environment and food.Ordered: Vegan beef kabob wrap and a Shrimp wrap with Greek salad Both were winners, the shrimp in specific was fresh and big in size with tons of flavor. Will be coming back for those fresh and clean quick meals! (Perfect WFH lunch/dinner)

They have great Vegan options and the layout of the restaurant is really nice. The food is pretty good, but the only thing is I feel that some of the portions should be a little better, especially with how the prices are.Also, I saw a few reviews saying the staff isn’t friendly and I did kind of think that they looked upset. But, as soon as I sparked up genuine conversation, they warmed up. Got to keep in mind that these are 2 women working alone and work can easily put anyone under pressure / feel overwhelmed. It isn’t always a reflection of who someone is and their friendliness. Food was good and would recommend.
