Zaina - Reviews

My recent experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. While I've enjoyed their lovely and delicious food on previous visits, this time was a stark contrast. The man at the counter was engrossed in his phone and responded very gruffly when I asked for no onions, questioning if it was my first time. He then prepared two falafel gyros in under two minutes, which immediately raised concerns about the quality. To our dismay, the gyros were freezing cold, as were the fries on top, rendering the sandwich inedible. This was a far cry from the hot and crispy falafel I've had before. The soggy, cold food was not worth the money, and the overall experience was incredibly disappointing.

My late-night stop for fries and baklava was a great introduction to this restaurant. Everything was incredibly fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned. I'm already looking forward to returning for a proper meal because the quality of what I tried was so impressive.

My personal experience wasn't to my taste. While the desserts they offer are good, I found the chicken to be chewy and not seasoned to my liking. However, the prices are decent.

My experience at this restaurant was underwhelming. I found the gyro to be overpriced and not very good. The baklava was stale, clearly having been sitting out for a long time. The atmosphere was unpleasant, and the hospitality was nonexistent. I don't see myself returning.

My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. The food was very delicious, and Muhammad, who prepared it for us, was so kind! I highly recommend this place!

This is one of my go-to spots in the Greenlake/Roosevelt area. The falafel and pita are always fresh and warm. The sauces and pickles are delicious and take the food to the next level. The pistachio baklava is to die for. Food comes out super fast, and there's always plenty of spots to sit.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, primarily due to the food. The chicken shawarma was served out of a pot and did not seem fresh. It was notably dry and overcooked. Based on this experience, I would advise others to avoid this place.

I've eaten a lot of Gyros in a lot of places, and this is a good Gyro. My experience at the restaurant was positive, particularly with the food. The atmosphere was also rated highly.

I'm so glad Zaina opened up a second location. This is perfect to grab for a Green Lake picnic. I'm a huge fan of the Baba Ghanouj and the Lamb Gyro.

My experience with this restaurant was for takeout, and unfortunately, we couldn’t eat the food. It had an off taste that left us wondering if we’d be sick later from what we did eat. I hate to leave this kind of review, but the food didn’t seem safe to eat, and we wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
