Delicious freshly made food. Kay was so helpful explaining dishes to us. Good presentation and wonderful service. Will definitely be back. We ordered the vegetarian platter, mixed kabobs, chicken schwarma and shrimp kabobs; pistachio baklava for dessert was so good!
Hate to give this a 3 star because the food was very good. The service was very slow (never filled water) and the atmosphere was not very inviting, basic tables and chairs no frills. It is basically a take out restaurant wit a few tables. Also I felt that the price was a bit high for 4 people almost $190.00 and BYOB. What really irritated me is that they automatically added a 20% tip and never mentioned. Will not be returning

I came here for dinner last night and everything was spectacular. The food was top-tier and service was great. Will definitely be
Confirmed my order at 7:59p. I called 3x, no answer. They never answer their phones. Heaven forbid they hire.Then they cancel the order at 8:21p. Uber Eats, Google Map, and their website say open til 9. They boast it too...Horrible service for food that I only order bc my girlfriend likes it. I think it's average at best, which is why they only get a few orders a year out of me. Now they'll get zero. I'll update this review with suggestions of better Mediterranean spots in the area. I have to go find dinner now.

As a Philadelphian, I can admit It’s really hard to find delicious halal food in New Jersey but Zena’s is now my go-to place to order on the occasion I don’t feel like cooking. The gyro sandwich was much larger than I anticipated which is always a pleasant surprise. The pistachio baklava was AMAZING. My only complaint is that I wish I had more baklava haha but that’s just me being greedy!When I called to verify that the meat used in their kitchen was halal (and yes ALL meats used are halal), the man over the phone was very professional and kind.Can’t wait to bring my friends here and introduce them to my favorite take-out spot!!
This place has amazing food. I started ordering from them a while back just because I wanted to try something different than pizza, and I’ve kind of fallen in love with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food ever since.There’s definitely some unique flavors/spices in some dishes that I’m sure a certain percentage of people won’t like. I think it’s a natural human tendency to dislike things that are unfamiliar, especially with food. But I tend to pick up “acquired tastes” pretty quickly, so I really enjoy trying different foods from cultures around the world. And this place is one of my favorites.My only gripe is that the dessert portions should be larger! I need a whole tray of that walnut baklava ?. That stuff is insanely good.
Let me share my thoughts on this fantastic restaurant I recently dined at. The service was impeccable, with the staff displaying a remarkable level of attentiveness and friendliness. The cuisine was truly exquisite, with each dish boasting a delightful symphony of flavors and the use of premium ingredients. The hospitality extended by the restaurant was exceptional, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that enhanced the overall dining experience. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

It was a few months ago that I went fyi. My pickup order didnt go through so they had to make it, only one employee was on duty and he wasn't all too professional, also while it isn't his fault he had a raspy voice that may make communications frustrating and he got angry when I asked him to speak up. When I first got there I said hello as he was in the back, got no response and I wandered around the desolate dining room until a minute later he whistled to me to come back to the counter (this is what I mean by unprofessional). Chicken wings were boring.

Save yourself the time and money. Don’t go here it was literally the worst money we ever spent. The food was awful, it smelled like urine in there, and the service stunk too.

We stopped here for dinner on a cold rainy night before a show at the Scottish Rite Auditorium, which is right around the corner. The small, unpretentious dining room was full of other concert goers enjoying the vegetarian sampler of falafel, grape leaves, hummus, baba ganoush, and more. That was way more food than our party of two could handle so we settled for a delicious mohammara appetizer that almost had us licking the plate clean. Falafel and gyro sandwiches, including spicy pickles, followed. Hot Turkish tea was our drink of choice. Excellent food and friendly staff were a great way to start the night. We'll be back!
