Zebda

This place was AMAZING! Everything was so so delicious, and the service was 10/10. I had the spinach and feta omelet, and it was really good, spicy and rich, and very filling. Also, I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but this was the best coffee I've had in years. I'd definitely come back here!

This place is horrible by all means. The food was awful, Tasteless greasy. The place was dirty.unfriendly/ noisy staff. The server was bragging about his private life how he is married to two women and have three kids with each one. I came to enjoy a meal I don't need to know about your business.

I am loving this place, full of uncles arguing in arabic. Food is incredible.

Ambiance is very dive-y. Place is small so you can't really come here in a big group. The menu is super simple too. The portion is HUGE. I had the Lamb Couscous, heavy on the couscous. With a serving of their chorba(soup).

Lamb was cooked well, tender, moist, flavorful. The couscous had cooked chickpeas, chunks of squash, and carrots. It was really exceptional as a dish. I didnt mind all the couscous at all. This dish is big. You will definitely have takeout.

Their cafe latte is also exceptional. I could tell once I saw the coffee machine they had in the back.

Will absolutely come back here, can't recommend enough!

The literal hole in the wall with a dedicated proprietor who makes great dishes not found elsewhere with a homemade quality.

However space is limited and restroom options are insufficient (at the time of this review).

ZEBDA Restaurant is a wonderful place to gather with friends & family and have a delicious meal. The owner,chef, and the wait staff are always welcoming, gracious, and attentive. Everything on the menu is great. This place is a hidden gem. I have been coming everyday to eat my dinner & on Fridays for lunch (Lamb couscous) ,for the past year. I have never been disappointed.
ZEBDA RESTAURANT is a great establishment
that Exceeds my expectations.
I sincerely hope and pray that this place will be around for a long time. The restaurant's patrons are awesome! I built solid and wonderful friendships here.
Thank you Mohammed, William ,Besma, Ashraf, and Armand ! May God continue to bless you all!

I had a great meal here. Lentil Soup was a wholesome soup. The Kafta sandwich was great. I really enjoyed the bread on this sandwich as well as the kafta that was inside of it. Kinda like a hamburger but a bit different and way better.
I saw everyone enjoying the baked goods with their espresso so I did the same. good espresso and a great baked good. Sorry if I get the name wrong but I think it is called berja. I'm not sure. but it did have fades and there is a yellow date that sounds something like that. Anyway It was great!! I do want to let you know the menu on the day I went was much smaller than the menu I see in the older picture on yelp. on the day I went there was no bri cigars, eggplant, or any hummus or spreads. But what they did have was great so I am still giving 5 starts for the great casual dining for small groups.

Shout out to Mr Bill M (Yelp Black Elite 15 Years) AKA Mr Zebda (he checked in 102 times). There must be a reason he went here 102x's. I finally made it here to Zebda to try their Kifta pizza

Very good crunchy thin crust pizza unlike any pizza I ever ate before. The kifta pizza has crumbled pieces of cooked kifta meat, green & red peppers, potatoes & feta cheese baked onto a thin crust pizza. It made for a tasty yet very different pizza. I got it to go as I scarfed down the generous size pieces of pizza (4 pieces)

Zebda is located on Elston Ave right near the corner of Pulaski Ave. I will be back to try some of their other menu items, but I seriously doubt if Bill was anything to worry about me trying to top his check ins there lol

Yes the kefta pizza at Zebda is still great, and now I have my love hooked on the delicious kefta pizza as well. The falafel is also pretty good, as you get six pieces in an order plus a creamy dipping sauce. We are so glad that Zebda is still open for takeout during these days of sheltering in place - Thank You!

My husband was an ardent fan of the kefta pizza long before he met me, yet it took him nearly a year into our marriage to introduce me to it! This dish is outstanding, and the portion is generous. I have also enjoyed the zebda lamb kebab. We have appreciated their streamlined takeout process during quarantine.

Tried Zebda tonight, to go. They had a smaller menu, due to Ramadan, but the three dishes we ordered were delicious. The lamb tagine was tender, falling off the bone, with peas, carrots, and a nice gravy. The chicken tagine was a bit spicy, but quite tasty, with some aromatic spice and a different sauce than the lamb one, which was not spicy at all. The person taking orders and the clientele were both friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going again.
