Editorial Review

Za' atar is one of those rare culinary breeds you only hear about during your grandpa's lectures on ye good ol' days: $5 sandwiches and fresh banana shakes, generous meat and vegetable platters you start fantasizing about right after breakast, and food cooked quickly and healthfully with love by its owner, whom every local knows. Tyson, the captain of this ship, treats every customer to warm conversation, recommendations for every palette, and, if you're lucky, a complimentary almond baklava. From the large and crunchy falafels, hot and homemade pita bread, and hummus and babaganoush made fresh daily, one visit is all you need to become a loyal customer. Don't believe us? Go and see for yourself.
