Zaki Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Lexington

My son decided he wanted Mediterranean food after a long day of UK orientation. We looked for the highest rating and this was it. It’s tiny. Rough. Two tables. Two parking spots. And some of the best, most authentic Med food we have ever had. Probably THE best. We enjoyed Chicken kebobs and lamb shawarma. We don’t value “upscale” over food quality. So no worries about the actual building. (If you care, grab it to go!) Plus, the owner was delightful. While we ate, he shared other food we hadn’t ordered and he explained the cooking processes, the source of his ingredients, his family history and his family’s strong culinary presence in Lexington. Just delightful. “Odie” (forgive me if that’s misspelled) has himself a new best customers my son ...

Walked in and the man behind the counter asked me what I was ordering. I said chicken shwarma and then I was cut off as he turned his attention to a lady who walked in behind me. He asked what did she want. She said she was picking up. He immediately started taking care of her....checking her out and not even acknowledging me any further. I just left.

Update☆☆ The owner saw my review and gave me a call to fix the situation. So very sweet! He offered me a complimentary meal for the misunderstanding and oh my goodness I'm so glad I went back! The chicken shwarma sandwich and fries were wonderful!! The falafel tasted perfect. How sweet it was of the owner to call me to fix the situation. Perfect service with a smile. I'll...

Salam alaikum, This is excellent Jordanian style cuisine. My GF and I had falafel over hummus and chicken shawarma over rice, I asked for extra pickled veggies with the Sha'warma and the owner hooked me up. Also, because we were first time customers he gave us free drinks. That's a good way to run a business Habibi!

Big portions of everything and it was so good, the chicken was delicious paired with the white sauce the pickled veggies included pitted olives, cauliflower, pickles, red onions. The bread seemed to be authentic Saj bread instead of pita and was so nice.

The falafel and hummus was incredible, not at all dry and the hummus was also authentic, you could really taste...
