Zait & Za'atar: Mediterranean Dhaba

I personally love the food! So far, I've tried their falafel wrap, paneer butter masala, naan, and mango lassi, and everything was fenominal! I found the restaurant to be very cozy and inviting and the staff was kind. I plan on coming here again and again.

I was so excited to see that they had kushari so I had to try and it did not disappoint! I also got their falafel fries and falafel sandwich and those were really good too. Portions were generous for the price. Definitely coming back!

It’s one of those places the locals love. Great food for a great price with a wide variety of foods to accommodate all. Our family came today and the staff were lovely, food was delicious, and we all left better than we came. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food especially for those wishing to break fast for iftar. Easily one of the best restaurants near the twin cities and a hidden gem.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with the customer service at Zait & Za'atar was beyond disappointing — it was downright infuriating. After a mix-up with my order (on their end), I just wanted to place my order again so I wouldn’t leave hungry and empty-handed. Instead of taking responsibility or even offering a shred of empathy, they coldly told me to "call DoorDash" and walked away without another word. No apology, no effort to make it right, just indifference. I stood there, stunned, with no food, no option to reorder, and a growing sense of humiliation and frustration.

This review isn’t about the food — it’s about the complete lack of care for their customers. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles them shows their true colors. And unfortunately, Zait & Za'atar made it loud and clear: they simply don’t care.
