Our first time at Zaatar!! Excellent customer service from both young ladies. The food was freshly made & being our first time. The server didn’t hesitate to recommend. I had the Lamb & beef shawarma. I give it a 8 very delicious and my friend had the lamb platter which he rated an 8 1/2

Omg best shawarma ever abd I have eaten MANY! No doughy pita, thin. Flavors were well distributed in the sandwich wrap. Falafel crispy and did not break my teeth lol just enough chicken pea and not overwhelmed with parsley. The dolman was smooth and delicious. Hospitality was good spoke with owner and server. Atmosphere was just were it is supposed to be for a small cafe. Will definitely return.

This place has become my little secret gem. I love Mediterranean food, and I recently discovered this spot close to home, truly authentic and absolutely delicious. The shawarmas are to die for. I always order the chicken shawarma, kibbeh, and falafel, and everything is consistently amazing. I usually do pick up orders because the place is small. They also carry a wide variety of Arab products, and you’ll often see Arab families shopping here, which says a lot about the authenticity. Definitely worth trying!

The shawarma was perfect—I had the lamb and beef with fresh veggies. The fries were a little salty, but you could probably ask them not to add extra salt. Overall, great flavor and taste.

We ordered the family mix grill which was perfect for us (4 adults) and we still had plenty of rice, kafta, and chicken left over. The bread was fresh and soft.
You can taste the authentic seasonings and all the protein was made fresh to order, and it was worth the wait!

The lamb shawarma and falafel tasted good, but could have been more flavorful. As of Dec 2025, The shawarma is $13.5, and the falafel pieces alone and nothing else were around ~$9.5.
The person working there was welcoming and friendly. Service was great and fast. Can recommend.

Decent fatoush salad and meatball things. Minus 1 point for a register that asks for a tip before you have even gotten or tasted your food. What is the tip for exactly?? For the taste that I havent tasted or to see how long it takes them to make the food which I also havent seen. Can I get my tip back after I get my food?? Ppl end up tipping out of guilt or fear of retaliation by the food prepper. Thats extortion! End tipping culture and pay your employees what theyre worth instead of preying on the emotions of customers. Also how do we even know what percentage of the tips goes to whom? For all we know the owner keeps 90%…

This place is a dump and can’t believe people rave about the food. Probably the worst chicken shawarma platter for 9k km. No napkins. No flavor. No idea how this stays open. Patrons need to experience shawarma beyond SoFlo.
You also have broken cameras that can’t seem to record that I disposed of half my plate. Fix your cameras and reflect on your inability to take honest criticism.

I recently stopped by this spot and ordered the lamb & beef shawarma combo to go. The fries included in the combo were actually pretty good — crispy and satisfying — though I wish there had been a special dipping sauce to go with them.
As for the shawarma itself, it tasted fine, but personally I found it a bit underwhelming. The portion was on the smaller side, and the meat wasn’t as generous or flavorful as I’ve had in other places. Still, service was fast — only had to wait about 4-5 minutes — and the staff was polite and friendly.
The atmosphere was calm, with some Middle Eastern music playing in the background. Plenty of free parking nearby and the place looked reasonably clean inside.
The total came to $18. I probably wouldn’t come back for the same item, but I’d consider trying other things on the menu before forming a final opinion.
