“11/13/25
My name is Jon and today was my first time visiting Lemonzest. Mediterranean food is my favorite and I am extremely happy that I accidentally found this location while walking by it. I was immediately greeted by the two team members who both had amazing energy that made me feel welcomed!! The music and atmosphere was perfect for anyone to relax while simply enjoying lunch or dinner. Of course, the food... mmm mmm! I am in love with how delicious the food was. The rice was light and flavorful, the chicken was very tender, and the salad was perfectly fresh. For sure Lemonzest will be my first choice when I am too lazy to cook at home.
To the team members, thank you! I will be back soon.

“Two serious complaints about Mizlala. One is that they need to move into my part of the SF Valley ASAP. The second is their crazy parking lot.

But one thing is for certain. This place serves outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine. Far better than anything I've had anywhere. Wonderful flavors, spices and herbs. Succulent chicken Pargiyot, Taste bomb Moroccan fried chicken. Sumac fries to die for. Salads bursting with feta, Kalamata olives, beets, radishes and tomatoes. Perfectly nuanced sauces and dressings. A delight for the senses.

Their staff is friendly and very helpful.

Now just move closer and make me really happy.“

“I got the chicken shawarma wrap with a side of garlic sauce. Best wrap I’ve had in my entire life! It’s saucy, seasoned, and just great. The homemade baklava is also good! The filling is very flavor full but some of the spices in the filling can be a little over powering. The register man with the red hat was very welcoming.“

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“We don’t celebrate a single holiday dinner without AV Grill. The food is always fresh, perfectly grilled, and full of amazing flavor. Our guests love it every time. AV Grill has become our go-to for every special occasion. Highly recommend!
Thank you Arthur and Verab!“
