This was our first visit here and won’t be our last!! For an appetizer we had the Health Food plate (hummus & Tabouli). The hummus was really good and the Tabouli was very fresh. For dinner my wife had the Norwegian Grilled Salmon over rice. It was cooked perfect! I had the Lamb over Rice. It was delicious and the lamb was probably the most tender lamb I’ve ever had! Overall it was a great experience. The service was great, the patio was nice, and the food was excellent! We will definitely return!

A fantastic place to have Lunch or Dinner. Located on the US 224 and OH St Rt 11 interchange in Canfield, Ohio. Zenobia’s serves up flavorful and well done Middle Eastern Cuisine. Their Food is very tasty and the waitress staff is always very nice and professional. I highly recommend their Grape Leaves.( Tasty Grape Leaves stuffed with Lamb, Beef and Rice) Appetizer, their Lentil Soup, Hummus and their Norweigen Salmon (cooked in Garlic and lemon) with rice and Tahini sauce. The service was wonderful with a great atmosphere.

Stopped here mid afternoon for a late lunch. Got right in and our order was taken quickly. My wife ordered the Falafil Dish and I had the Kibbee Plate. Our food was very tasty, my kibbee footballs reminded me of Lebanon, spiced and cooked just right. I had a vodka tonic to wash everything down, was a good pour. Food very good, service good, atmosphere could have been a bit better if the middle east hip hop was turned down a notch or two, but not distracting. There are some more dishes I’d like to have, so will be back soon. There are a million photos by previous reviewers, so as to not duplicate them, the only picture I’m adding is one of my empty plate and glass. Come out and enjoy!

The food is very good. Atmosphere is really cozy and inviting on the patio but felt a bit absent inside. Staff was pleasant.

Delicious and authentic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. Very attentive wait staff and a comfortable atmosphere. The Appetizers are so delicious that, like me, you not be able to finish your meal. The Gyro I ordered was very good but I ended up taking most of it home along with a couple pieces of Baklava.

My wife and I are diehard Aladdin fans. So after hearing good things about Zenobia we decided to try it.
We started with the hummus. Way too much lemon and a little on the runny side. Hands done Aladdin’s is better.
My wife ordered salmon and it was really good and cooked perfectly. At $18 it was a good value.
I opted for the lamb sandwich. They should rename it the vegetable sandwich with tiny bits of lamb kibble.
The service was spectacular. Our server was very knowledgeable and nice. She should get a raise.
I’ll probably go back and try something different.
As with a lot of other places doing it they add a service fee for credit cards. Not a fan of that.

A Cozy Atmosphere with Great Service, But the Food Fell Short
Zenobia has a lot going for it—starting with the friendly and attentive waitstaff who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is beautiful, upscale, and cozy, especially if you’re able to grab a seat outside on a nice day. It’s the kind of spot that feels both relaxed and refined.
I also really appreciate that Zenobia caters to a diverse crowd by offering both halal options and a full-service bar—something you don’t often see at Mediterranean restaurants in the area. That flexibility is a big plus depending on who you’re dining with.
That said, the food was underwhelming overall. We ordered a variety of dishes—chicken over rice, grape leaves, hummus, hot tea, kuffta, and more—and while nothing was bad, nothing really stood out either. For the price, we were hoping for more generous portions or more memorable flavors. The presentation and seasoning just didn’t quite hit the mark, especially when compared to other Turkish and Mediterranean spots just a short drive away on the Canfield strip that offer a more authentic and flavorful experience at similar or better value.
To be clear, the 3-star rating isn’t a reflection of the service, which was excellent—it’s more about the food not living up to expectations for the price point. I really want to see Zenobia succeed, and I hope they continue refining the menu because the setting and staff truly deserve it.

If they improved their waiter/waitress service issues – this place would be off the charts amazing. The food is SO good! The grape leaves are the best ones I’ve tasted since my grandmother’s. The owner doesn’t want to be bothered by guests or deal with the waitstaff issues. But the kitchen team is so good!!

Zenobia had the greenest tabouli I’ve had in years. It was great. We also had the hummus which was creamy with plenty of tahini, and the mujaddara had the nice browned onions on top.
Although it’s listed as Mediterranean cuisine, more than half of the menu is Syrian and Lebanese dishes.
