Zait & Zaatar

The location is close to the Freeway (I-5) so it is easier to get to as compared to dozens of Arabic restaurants a few miles South along Brookhurst. Food is fairly decent. However there\'s one thing that they can probably address is the kind of crowd that hangs right outside their doors. There\'s a hair cutting place next door and another halal burger place but the strip unfortunately attracts the worst of the young Muslim guys in the area. They whistle at women girls, pass rude and sexist remarks and overall act like hooligans. I have stopped going to this location just because of this reason.

Good food specially the manageesh

Are they closed ? I went there but the place was closed.

We visited when we went to Disneyland. The service was good, place clean and the food was yummy. I would love to go again. Need more halal options like this.

We had a dinner for our visiting friends, and food was really good. We had beef shwarma, falafel, kafta kabob and chicken shawarma, these were all good, but the best was the Lebanese pizza. The owner was really courteous and the service was very impressive.

Great place Very nice staff Excellent sajook

The restaurant and its restroom are the cleanest between the many halal restaurants I've been to during my 3 week trip to the USA. Also, the location is quite nice, and I liked that the staff wore cool t.shirts which had words like (healthy. Tasty) on them. The service is mostly good. My husband really liked the beef shwarma sandwiches. For me I didn't like my lamb kebab sandwich and didn't finish it.

Good, fresh food, although a little pricey given the portion sizes and the cramped cafe atmosphere. The place really gets crowded at lunch time. There's outdoor seating, if you want to smell cigarette smoke while you're eating. On my last visit, one of the owners refused to honor a coupon; customer relations are not their strong suit. Go for the quality food, not the service.

Food was great, fresh, and light. Very tasty. The location is very convenient, right off of the freeway. The customer service was awesome. The restaurant was clean and modern. An all around great experience. I plan on coming back and recommending it to others.

The food is DELICIOUS! My favorite is the Philly Cheese Steak Wrap...so tasty! I love that the kitchen is exposed and you can watch your fresh bread being made right in front of you. The food is very fresh and filling. I've also met the owner and he's extremely nice. I will definitely recommend this place!

Went here for the 1st time today. Seating area is a little small. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and very clean. Had the Lebanese pizzas which were good. They also have a selection of wraps which looked really good. Will have to stop next time for those.

I went here a couple of times for late night suhoor during Ramadan. VERY NICE! Good food, great Zaatar. Me and my friends, and a well known Shaykh really enjoyed this place. They ran out of meat a few times late at night, understandable as they are new and didn't expect such a turnout. The sitting area is smallish, so large families may have a tough time. Excellent choice though.

Great place. Good prices and delicious food.

Zait & Zaatar offers exceptionally fresh, authentic Lebanese cuisine, featuring highlights such as savory manaaish, tender shawarma, and crispy, flavorful falafel. Known as a welcoming, family-run gem near Anaheim/Disneyland, it boasts generous portions, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere perfect for a delicious, high-quality, and reasonably priced meal. Absolutely loved Zait & Zaatar! Everything tastes incredibly fresh and homemade—especially the cheese and zaatar manaaish, Lahmeh wa ajeen (meat pie). The staff is super friendly, making it feel like a cozy, family-run spot. A must-visit in Alico Viejo near Anaheim!
