Great little Mediterranean spot in Saint Paul. The food came out super quick and the employees were very nice. The falafel and the mint lemonade were especially great. Fair warning, the prices on the website were a little outdated. Regardless, definitely worth trying.

Visited Zait & Za'atar on a Saturday afternoon, wanted to try something different. Quiet little corner restaurant. Menu wasn't that big which made it simple to order. The shawarmas were good. I ordered the msakhan chicken, combo- the chicken was seasoned well, tender. Their spicy sauce made it better ($0.50 a cup). The appetizer sampler was okay, I liked the baba ganoush.

the lemon poppy seed (vegan) and ginger & turmeric ice cream were so good! unfortunately our fries and rice lacked seasoning/flavor. the fries in the google photos looked to have some seasoning on it but ours didn't have any. the falafel was very salty and pita was hard as well. maybe it was a hard day in the kitchen ordered? we ordered to-go.

Outstanding food!! This place is family owned. Owner is Palestinian and he has his own recipes for a lot of the foods. I got the shawarma with Zaatar fries and it was wonderful. They also have unique Arab flavored ice cream flavors that include cardamom and turmeric. There is 3 other meals on the menu that I haven't tried yet so I'm excited to come back! The owners wife was very welcoming and kindly explained all the ingredients in the food. As an Arab, I highly recommend this place!

It was a good experience, the shawarma was good and my advice to them is to renew the oil for falafel because it gives a better taste and they can raise the price.

The Chicken Sandwich was great. I loved the Lemon Poppy Seed and White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Creams. Such a delicious and tasty experience all around. Loved the front end, young energetic staff member you had last Wendsday night. They were so kind and helpful with all of my questions and concerns. Will definitely come again when I am in town again.

Very nice service and cozy place. Food was good but a little pricey. Definitely okay though with how the economy is currently; will be back!!

Absolutely disgusting and disappointing. We ordered food hoping for authentic Mediterranean food, but instead 1 bite of the schwarma I had to spit it out. It was awful and I could have made a box of rice oroni with chicken cubes for a better tasting meal. It was so gross we threw it away. No authentic flavors. Over cooked rice. Dry chicken with a salad. Definitely sad if people in MN think this is how Mediterranean food is supposed to taste like.
