I don’t usually call out a restaurant for being The Best because personal taste varies so much but Zeinas is an exception in the best way possible. Truly The Best babaganouj I’ve ever had. Felafel is also excellent, hummus fabulous but the babaganouj is amazing. The place is very casual, relaxed, friendly, and warm. I go as often as possible.
I used to be a regular here about ten years ago or more. Then, I moved away from the area. Well, I just came back for a trip through Utica and had to stop. I got the shawarma gyro, garlic French fries, and falafel. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach, but the aroma of the place got me crazed. Fries were hand-cut and the garlicky bits on top were addictive. The chicken was tender and very flavorful. Tzatziki was delicious. Generous portions. Best of all (next to the food) is the friendliness of the staff. Very fun sense of humor of the staff contributes to the overall feel and atmosphere of the place. Delicious, warm, and happenin’.
Wanted to try something new and was so beyond satisfied, I simply had to come here and tell people about how delicious my meal was. Everything was extremely fresh, flavorful, and the food was big portions, too! I didn’t know what to expect as I can be picky and don’t love to experiment necessarily food wise but I am so happy I took a leap of faith here. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. I absolutely will be back for more food, and will be recommending this place to everyone I know. By far the star of what we ordered, I will dream about the shish tawook. It was just so tender and delicious, it was just as good the next day too. The lamb was perfectly cooked too. Seriously, try this place! Your stomach will thank you.
The taste and amount of food that you get is incredible. When we went, at lunchtime, we had to wait for a table, but they took our order so we didn’t have to wait long after we were seated for our food. The staff was friendly and very welcoming.
So good I forgot to take a picture at the beginning
Excellent. Worth the drive from Syracuse.
Fantastic food and service. Thank you so much
Chicken for the gyros need to be caramelized when cooking. No flavor for chicken. I go to Greek gyros in Yorkville and the chicken taste much better.
urban oasis set up for all sorts of meetings!
Love Zeina's Cafe! Awesome owners...food is out of this world delicious!

Went for my first visit a few days ago and was blown away by the food and hospitality in this place! They treated me like I knew them for years within my first two minutes through the door and then before I knew it the mother was having me try the loaded fries, chicken, lamb and charged me a hug for the samples! lol The food and my experience were so outstanding that I insisted I brought my wife back for dinner the next night which we were again blown away by the Gyros, loaded fries, and rice bowl! I never write reviews but they exceeded my expectations enough where I'll take the time to give this well deserved review. They've earned our business and we will be customers going forward. Its worth the drive from Westmoreland for us... 👍👍
One of my favorite places. Tasty, filling, reasonably priced vegan options and kind staff.
Great food & great prices. Great service. Had the lamb gyro & it was stuffed with lamb. Grape Leaves were great too.
