Au Za'atar - East Village offers authentic and fresh Middle Eastern cuisine, including the generous chicken shawarma portion that can feed 3-4 people. The restaurant features a beautiful ambiance with a lively atmosphere, complemented by exceptional service from its attentive staff. Customers frequently praise the friendly and helpful servers, such as Ivan, who ensure a delightful dining experience. The food consistently impresses, with favorites like hummus, baby lamb chops, Wara eenab (dolma, grape leaves), and the big chicken shawarma. The Wara eenab comes with pita, tomato bits, and two spreads for $18, noted as the best by some diners. While the space can feel a little cramped, the overall vibe and welcoming environment make each visit enjoyable. The lamb is noted to be slightly dry sometimes, but the delicious dishes and excellent service make Au Za'atar a popular spot for Middle Eastern cuisine. The staff's exceptional care and attention to detail create a dining experience that stands out in the East Village.
