Family run business, small deli with a whole bunch of Lebanese dishes to pick from. You have the entrees section and the sides section, and there are a TON of sides to choose from. My friend I was eating with said they're all good. Went with two friends and they were packed out on a weekday lunch. The interior is kind of small and tight and nothing spectacular, they do what they can with a small space. It was almost elbow to elbow with neighboring tables. The cabbage rolls and rice + noodles were delicious, very flavorful, and the quinoa salad fresh.

This is easily one of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurants. The food is always delicious and fresh high quality. I love what they offer so many different choices of sides. The red pepper hummus and the tabouli are definitely the stars of the show. We have literally tried almost everything on this menu there. Honestly you can't go wrong definitely stop in.

Zakia Deli makes great food. Everything I’ve had there is delicious. The only problems I have are that it’s hard to figure out what to order and the workers are hard to understand. So getting what you actually want to eat ordered correctly is hit or miss. The food is delicious. In the summer months there is plenty of seating with the outdoor patio adding to the smaller inside seating. The Diet Coke on the fountain is mixed absolutely perfect. Great place to eat, hard to figure out what to order.

Augster

Every time I come here the food is very good. The pita tastes fresh. I've had numerous entrées and sides and they've all been good. It's worth the trip, wherever you might be. The service is fine too. I would certainly consider using them to feed a party too.
