We decided to stop by Zohara for a nice meal, and it did not disappoint. Jack, our server, was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We went the mezze route to sample a little bit of everything—chicken shawarma, arak shrimp, basmati rice, charred broccoli, crispy za’atar chicken, and steak al haesh—and everything was fantastic. We also tried a few drinks; the house margarita stood out with its spicy kick. Delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this one of my go-to spots for Mediterranean cuisine.

Incredible food every single time. Don’t skip the lamb ragú hummus. Service has always been impeccable, even on busy nights. If you’re lucky enough to sit in Bryan’s section, you’re guaranteed to have a lovely evening with exceptional service! Attentive, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, Bryan is a server that deserves recognition!

This was an amazing dining experience with a large family group of 10 … service was perfect ! We had the 3 course table feast which started with different types of hummus and dips with the best pita bread we have ever eaten! Followed by several small plates of just about everything on the menu (kitchens choice )… the food just kept coming! Lots of leftovers !!

Came here years ago and had their lamb chops. Been thinking about them ever since. They don’t have them anymore, but I got the coffee rubbed rib eye and it was absolutely incredible. Tender, cooked exactly to the temp I wanted, and seasoned perfectly. Tyler gave my table great service and I can’t wait to come back. Got the rise n grind (made it spicy) and the Wizard of Oaxaca as my cocktails and they were both perfect.

Also, Our server Bryan was a five star waiter. He was so helpful and had a professional kind knowledgeable personality!!! Thanks Bryan

This place blew me away. Every dish is an experience. Healthy portions on the mezzes make it great for sharing. The staff was warm, engaging and accommodating. I was traveling through the area, and detoured to stop here when I read the menu. I sat at one of the countertop areas, and was able to enjoy an exquisite culinary experience with relatively quick service for such a busy place. Friendly vibe with sociable regular guests eager to talk about their favorites. I ordered the whole cauliflower, lamb ragu hummus, and pistachio crusted warm goat cheese salad with roasted pears and endive… Way more than I could eat at one sitting, but happy to take home the leftovers!

Bustling vibe, loved sitting and just taking it all in. Like ‘cheer’ therapy.
Plenty of menu items, not enough vegetarian choice. The only veg option looked beautiful but everything was dry. Didn’t understand getting fresh bread with no oil butter or dip-if it’s a tactic for getting more hummus orders, it’s in poor taste.
Service was slow. No one came for a long time as we sat waiting to order something more to go with dry food.
Will come again, it is quite nice to hang out here.

This review is based on the food we ordered. We noticed that many customers were having drinks with snacks (appetizers/mezze), but we chose to order a few main courses instead—which I would not recommend.
First of all, the food is very overpriced for the portion sizes. Despite the menu describing the dishes as “large plates,” the portions were actually quite small. Another thing we noticed was that chickpeas appeared in almost every dish, even in items like red snapper and fried chicken. Although the menu lists many ingredients for each dish, in reality chickpeas seemed to dominate the plates.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place for food. However, it does have a nice atmosphere and seems better suited for drinks and snacks.

So so good! We split 9 or so mezzes between 4 of us and it was plenty of food (with some leftovers). The Batata Harra was my favorite but others loved the Crispy Za’atar Chicken. Our server also brought us some special birthday desserts. Would definitely come again!

Great options of Mediterranean cuisine.
The friendly staff is icing on the cake.
Food arrived on time and we were too full with what we ate. Could not leave it as it was so tasty. Highly recommended to visit this place and try those cuisines.
