Zait Za'atar - St Paul

I had the most delicious falafel sandwich for lunch today. Yummy. If you are a falafel orphan this is the best in Twin Cities. Too bad there are only 5 stars to rate it!

A great find. A few blocks from our house, but a destination place. Not much decoration, but great food, friendly people who work there, and (did I mention? great food. I have eaten falafal all over the world (Middle East, Europe, East Coast, West Coast and they're not all good. The falafal here is excellent spicy, garlicky, not stuffed too much, good sauce, inexpensive. Authentic menu of many hard to find Middle Eastern specialties.

I recently visited Zait and Za'atar with my family and I have to say I found the food very, very tasty! Not only is it halaal, but their fries with Za'atar are a must have! I had the chicken shwarma and the chicken was moist, tender and well seasoned! None of the food was over seasoned or over salted. The front staff we talked to was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. I can't wait to return!

The falafel was amazing! Way better than other Middle Eastern restaurants in the area. I highly recommend Zait Za’atar if you’re looking for authentic and delicious food at a very reasonable price.

Best chicken shawarma I've had in MN hands down! I recommend getting the sampler platter to try a lot of the stuff on the menu because it's all amazing. Very generous portions too. Everything from service to flavor was perfect. Already looking forward to my next time there...gotta try the whole menu!!
