Zephyr Mediterranean Grill & Cafe — Restaurant in Pasadena

I was very excited to eat from this restaurant after all the reviews I seen on yelp and google, I came hungry and excited, only to get food poisoning from the lamb chops. One of thd chops tasted like old meat that was passed the freshness date but was cooked anyway, and then left out. This was the last chop I ate out of the four. The waitress came to my table twice, the whole time I was there on here own. The third time I had to get her attention to ask for my check. I was not impressed with the food at all. The pita bread was hard, and the humus didn't have much flavor or amout. The rice was cold. They had no in house hot sauce available, so offered Tapito hot sauce packets. I went in the middle of the afternoon on Sunday thinking I would receive exceptional service. Instead I left with food poison. I would not want anyone to experience this. I had many of the symptoms and had...

What a great place. Was in the mood for lamb and this place fit the bill! My friend Mary got a Chicken Kabob Wrap($10) and I got the Lamb Chops plate($24). Her wrap was fresh, moist and delicious! Mine came with 4 nicely charred lamb chops, fresh spiced onions, grilled tomato and green chile, buttered rice, good portion of delicious hummus, and Pita bread. Wow! So good! Great service. After eating owner Sahag checked on us which turned into a lively talk about food and liquor so called over his cousin Asadour(AKA Ozzie) who's worked as a bar manager at some famous restaurants. In my life I've worked for catering companies as a BBQ chef waiter, and bartender so we had a spirited talk about drinks and food for over 20 minutes! They're both very passionate about all aspects of the dining experience. It shows in the food and service. Will be going...

Would not let me sit inside and eat during the heat wave when the temperature outside is 109 and on their patio hotter with the black roof.

I don't care how good the food is that was rude. There is nobody else there the young man behind the counter didn't seem to care or think things through. He did offer to give me water and turn on the fans outside but was honestly a little arrogant. I will never be back.

Also had no real cream for the coffee, just synthetic creamers.

The salad is incredibly mediocre and overpriced - there is about a tablespoon of feta and no olives. This is horrible .

They put so many weird spices on it with no vinegar or salad dressing that it tastes like crap.

It took me less than 10 minutes to eat the salad !!

Am I ranting? Absolutely!! Hope everybody is staying cool out...
