I give zeinas 1/2 a star for their hours (because I ALWAYS want to eat here on days when they’re closed. Kidding, of course, because I very much respect the family values). I am craving some grape leaves, hummus and lamb right now, and so sad i won’t be able to eat there while I’m in town because they’re closed until i leave! But.. at least 30* for the incredible food and amazing staff, owners and all!! This place is the best Lebanese food I’ve ever had. Insane!
After straying for one meal (tried a new Greek restaurant in the area) we were reminded why we order here. Not only is the staff absolutely friendly and so welcoming, their food is one of the best that I've ever had and truly authentic. Thank you for what you do!
My family and I stopped at Zeina's last night for dinner while in Utica. The food was absolutely amazing! We ordered Lebneh, the fried Kibbeh plate, the lamb gyro, the Sales gyro, and a couple of Shish Tawook skewers on the side. It was all delicious! We ended up ordering a 2nd Kibbeh plate to take home with our leftovers. We will definitely be stopping there again! Thank you for being so welcoming and serving such fabulous food!
I was so pleased with our meal here. I am vegetarian and ordered the standards: hummus, baba ghanouj, tabouli, and falafel. My sister is totally new to Lebanese food. She ordered a chicken Shawarma with Tzatziki and fries on the side. We were both thrilled with our food, and the service was friendly. If we lived in Utica, we would be back next weekend! With all my friends!
