Zait & Za'atar: Mediterranean Dhaba

Mediterranean restaurant · Union Park

@eater

"Zait & Za’atar, a casual “Mediterranean dhaba” on Selby Avenue, marries Mediterranean and South Asian flavors. It’s a great place to fill up on fresh falafel, baba ghanoush, and juicy shawarma sandwiches and plates. But don’t overlook the chaat: crispy samosas, tangy pani puri dripping with tamarind, and vada (fried lentil balls) doused in cool dahi (yogurt). Online orders are accepted through Grubhub, Doordash, and Uber Eats, plus during Ramadan the restaurant sells iftar meals." - Eli Radtke
