Editorial Review for Zaina Food Drinks & Friends – by

In Short
Middle Eastern pop blares in the background at this crowded eatery where the business crowd lines up at lunchtime for tasty falafel, shawarma and gyros sandwiches and entree plates. Other menu favorites include a minty tabbouleh salad, thick lentil soup and other Middle Eastern standards. When night falls, the suits give way to a younger crowd out on the town--the lights are dimmed, hookahs are smoked and DJs spin electronic music.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Orders are taken at the counter, cafeteria-style, and the cramped tables are first come, first served.

Where to Sit

The tables near the window have the most light, but the tiny room in the back gives the most privacy.

The worst $9.50 lunch I have ever had at the Pioneer Square Very shot and unpleasant service. I ordered greek salad with meet. Salad mix was not fresh at all and Lamb "meet" patties taste more like bread that anything. It was a big mistake to go there.

Cons: Food, Service

I was so sad when the 3rd Ave site closed! At least I can still enjoy the authentic gyros and falafel plates at the 1st and Cherry location. The food is fresh and delicious. Weekend nights, it turns into a hooka bar with live belly dancers! How cool is that?

Pros: Yum-o food

Cons: The 3rd Ave site had better atmosphere

Editor's Review

Pioneer Square Middle Eastern joint is a falafel and shawarma emporium by day; hookah bar with a DJ by night.  See the full editorial review.
