Tip: Try the salad dressing; you won't be disappointed!
Wow wow wow!!!!! What a pleasant surprise! I’ve driven past probably 50 times. Someone suggested I try them out since I love garlic paste. They hit the mark and probably deserve a few more stars. Salad dressing… I know, who talks about dressing…. Try it! You’ll see!
I love zenas! My friend introduced me to this place years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. Their garlic sauce is amazing, but then again so is everything! I’ve never had a bad item or experience. Small family owned so be patient with your waiter/waitress. But love love love this place!
Amazing!! I’m just visiting from North Carolina but if I lived here I’d be here at least weekly or twice a week!! I had the Kafka kabob , tabouli, hummus and fried cauliflower w garlic sauce. Also extra delicious homemade Lemonade. I can honestly tell you everything was beyond delicious but also super fresh and of course homemade as well. The owner was naturally very friendly and welcoming. I only have good things to say about this place. Thank you for the great meal!!
Wow! Amazing food, very delicious and quality! The food is worth the price. We bought a 3 skewer plate of Lamb, beef, and chicken with a small grape leaves and small humus, it fed me, my wife and my son. Amazing people. Very kind and generous. Our son played with their kids while we were waiting for the food. We met Nana, magic, and Ralph. So kind and friendly this place is. Family owned, awesome kind workers and great quality food.
My first time there. Unfortunately, I can only dine there when I'm in town from Northern CA. The lamb was prepared and cooked to perfection; the rice is delicious; the lentil soup is divine (bought a to-go portion); the hummus, oh my; and the service--friendly. I had the pleasure of tasting the "lamb soup" which isn't always available--so delicious.
Why Zena"s? It's never frozen, always fresh, where you can have a cold beer and warm conversation. They love the customers, treat you like family, because they feel you are. I love the restrooms, why, well who wants to dine at a place with poor cleanliness? Don't be fooled, a host of fresh and delicious food awaits you. Lebanese, yes, however, chicken is chicken and they pick the best. Kabobs, yum, baklava, always fresh and tasty. Lamb? For those or you who like myself, love basic lamb and rice. They have it. The owner works 6 days a week to insure the same tradition of Lebanese food prepared to perfection is always the same. 20 some years in the same location? Do the math. Love it, love it. Skip fast food, precooked, always frozen and drowned is secret sauce drive through garbage. Go here once and it will be your new favorite place.
Come only with a wide open heart and stomach because you will be most graciously welcomed, treated by the family who has been here for 25 years and filled with belly soothing, fresh, clean, and wholesome food! Great food satisfies you on so many levels, and so I had more than enough extras to take home to share with a friend.
Zena's Lebanese Cuisine has a easy to read menu with clear indicators if something is glutted-free or not. I got their chicken kabob which is the CHICKEN SKEWER #25. You really can’t go wrong with this plate full of heaven. They really take pride and care in prepping your meal. The waiter was really nice and helpful. Definitely going to be coming back to this spot, for sure. The hummus and rice is off the hook as well. Many plates to choose from but for me the next in line is the KIBBEE BY’SENEYEE #31. Definitely a nice place to call in a order or to sit down to eat.
Best Middle Eastern restaurant in Orange county!!
The food and service is fantastic. The Shawarma plate and Arnabeet (fried cauliflower) are my favorites but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. This family takes great pride on serving the best quality Lebanese food to their community. We drive out of our way to come here and we've never been disappointed.
This is the other restaurant in Anaheim I visited 2x in a week. Stumbled into it after leaving Trader Joe’s—the food was so good I brought my team back. It’s not walking distance from Disney, but it’s worth the 15 min drive, especially when you’re over overpriced mediocre park food
Run by the nicest family. So eager to make their guests feel at home. Kinda quaint inside. Family restaurant. Vegan options are great. Try the roasted cauliflower! So so good. And we are a big fan of their falafel mezza style with hummus and pita. Fair prices, delicious home cooked Lebanese food.
Best Lebanese food I have had. Very nice atmosphere for a relaxing family dinner or impressing a nice date. Highly recommend sitting on the patio if there are no smokers the ambience, casual breeze and overhead lighting is an ideal atmosphere. I especially love the meat dishes and appetizers they are both items I could eat until I drop and actually have over eaten them many a times I have been to Zenas. Must try this place if you enjoy Lebanese food.
Was there on Thursday and that was the best food and service
We've been coming to this place for about six years now. We come about eight times a year. This is our family celebration restaurant. The food is amazing, all lovingly prepared by the family that owns this wonderful place. If you are coming with a group, the best way to sample a good cross section of the menu is The Mezza. For $70 you get small plates of hummus, babaganoush, lebneh, tabouleh, and grape leaves just to name a few. The fried cauliflower is worth adding on. The lamb is perfect, the chicken is great. Rice here is delicious. Don't forget to have some baklava at the end. Also, the Lebanese beer, Almazza, is really quite good.
I was very impressed with the qualitiness, yumminess and cleanliness of this establishment. It's family fun with the owner's son playing the role of silverware polisher and restaurant assistant sitting at the entrance interacting with his Father. Enjoy the freshness and the ambience-Go to Zenas!
The food was really good. It made me feel like I really was in Lebanon. The waiter was also nice and approaching. The place was very middle eastern themed too.
The place is cozy and well decorated, it is medium size and can fill up fast and it does! It fills up for a reason though, the food is amazing! I started off with the tabuli and that is an excellent starting dish if you like a lemon flavor. After that I had the house salad. Regular salad just like most places but the dressing... God himself would come down for a taste! The lettuce is always crunchy and fresh really blew my mind as I have not come her in three years. I finished off with a lamb platter. Which comes with lamb, rice, hummus, and tomatoes. I have yet to find a place that serves better lamb. The flavor is consistent in every piece and the meat is definitely juicy even well-cooked the meat still holds a great bite! After that I had the chicken soup. Which as far as chicken soups go is delicious. The chicken is fresh and the veggies are fresh the broth brings all the flavors together. As they say, this isn't out of a can. I could really taste the seasoning. The best part though... the absolute best part of the soup was the garlic sauce! I personally hate garlic. But this sauce is like Frank red hots, you can put it on everything! Mixed in with the soup it always helped relieve any sinuses when I was younger and even now as an adult I'll still eat it when I'm feeling under the weather. Finished off the night with fresh baked baklava. Perfect pastry dessert after my extensive meal. The price after all of that was reasonable for the amount of food I had and the portion sizes. Definitely coming back as I consider making myself a regular.
Easily one of the best middle eastern restaurants on the west coast. Every dish is great but the baba ghanoush is incredible and lamb kebabs are so savory.
Quite simply our favorite place to eat. Super friendly people there, especially the owners! Amazing skewers, tabouleh, hummus, lemon salad, labneh, fried cauliflower, etc. We have family that comes in from out of town and only ever wants to eat here (and I'm not complaining!)...
This is my favorite Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant. It's family owned and you get lots of personalized attention. Faisal turned me on to the fried cauliflower and I make it a point to order the Kibbeh (Kibbee) whenever I go since not many restaurants serve this dish.
Best Lebanese food I've ever had. Great for groups, try the mezza. Salad dressing is amazing. Garlic sauce, I think it's called toume, is the best thing I've ever had. You can seriously put it on anything. All homemade recipes; never had a bad meal here.
Best Lebanese restaurant in OC - I'm just going to call it. If you happen to go on a day when the owner's wife is handling the kitchen, just ask the staff what she's cooking and order it. I love the people here too, they are a beautiful family and have mastered the lost art of Arab hospitality.
Our family favorite for special occasions
Owners are great and their food is even better. Faves are hummus, Greek salad, spicy chicken kabobs and lentil soup.
Our go to place when you just want a soup and salad - or juicy shawarma. Everything is good - lentil soup is amazing . Try the Toum - garlic sauce you’ll get hooked
Staff always makes you feel like family. Take out order. Love the Baklava. Not too sweet and doesn't fall apart. Appetizer night for us. Humus and beef, stuffed grape leaves and labna are all very tasty.
Fantastic food. Friendly service. Food is really tasty. My husband enjoyed the beef shawarma. I had a chicken kabob. Chicken was tender and juicy. Hummus was good as well as the tahini. It's a family owned business! Stop by for happy people serving delicious food.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants in the country. I know this is a broad statement, but I travel extensively and have tried many. The ingredients use are top of the line. The quality and freshness of the food is exceptional. I have taken over 100 people to Zena's over the years and every person raved about the food. Try every item on the menu - you won't be disappointed.
The whole atmosphere and environment is very friendly and they go the extra mile to make your experience memorable every time. Zena's the the type of restaurant where you remember your waiters name. Faisal took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The service was beyond excellent and it was very refreshing to see a restaurant who actually care about their guests. I've had my share and have enjoyed copious amounts of Lebanese food in the past but Zena's surpasses anything I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Thank you! I definitely will be back!
Food and service is amazing!
I love this place. Their food is so good. Everything is super fresh and everything I try is amazing. Literally chose my apartment cause it's close to this restaurant. Service is friendly. Family owned great people
My husband and I went yesterday to Zena restaurant. They welcomed us with smile, the owner was very friendly, the restaurant was very clean and has delicious food, the service was quick , we were very happy to have our dinner there. We came from Phoenix to LA for vacation Thank you so much. Highly recommend.
Oh my goodness, what a lovely restaurant! The owner and his family are just darling, and the food is spot on. You can tell they take such pride and care with their menu. Everything we tried was fantastic, especially the tabbouleh. We can’t wait to come back!
First time with my mom today and our first time trying Lebanese food. The owner's son was very nice and helpful with good positive/joyful attitude. We got the combo and was not disappointed at all we loved it definitively going back
The customer service is so nice and friendly. It's a nice place to eat with family. It's a little pricey but it's worth it. I love they're chicken plate with rice and hummus, it was sooo delicious. I would recommend this restraint If would like to try something different and like liabanese food.
Crispy and flavorful falafels! Staff is friendly and welcoming and I had a great lunch here. A little bit on the expensive side but the food was great!
Delish. I love it all!! Highly recommend the fried cauliflower appetizer, and both the lamb and kafta are my faves. Do not pass on the baklava for dessert either. It's all so yummy. I'm hungry again just typing this!!
Excellent Food!!! The waiter's was so accommodating and put together a great sampler for our first time there. We have been back since and the experience was the same, great! Super nice and helpful staff, quick service, food was hot and well presented. The only downfall, is that the support wait staff check on you a bit too much. I know that sound weird, because in most places they never come back to check on you or your drinks, etc. This staff is a little too attentive. Otherwise, it was perfect!
Green & unpitted olives in a Lebanese restaurant? How do you NOT have black olives with labne? I’m still giving you all 5 stars with a critique to hopefully get you to tweak this issue, please?!!
One of my most favorite restaurants in Orange. The food is so delicious! My family is addicted to the chicken and beef kabobs but everything we have tried on the menu has not disappointed. Family run and can’t say enough about how nice they all are. Amazing food and great quality ingredients. Highly recommended
This is hands-down my favorite restaurant. My husband and I moved to Iowa three years ago and every time we come home to visit, Zena's is our first food-stop. Everything is fresh and flavorful. The owners are friendly and passionate about their craft. I really can't say enough about this restaurant. Love!!
I was missing the kubbus I ate in Dubai. I am happy that I found this restaurant. Hummus and garlic paste are fresh and very tasty. The freshness also make the price little higher. Highly recommended if you want a nice dine in experience.
The dad will tell you everything is made to perfection. lol. He’s not wrong. Nice glass of wine with the spicy chicken kebab. Oh, And he makes the baklava. Love the house salad dressing, yes I bought a bottle.
This place is wonderful. It has become a regular for us whenever we need a break from standard American fare. The owners are friendly and service is quick. The price to quality ratio is great. I always hope for leftovers, but it's hard to make sure I have some to take home.
Clean! Great service!! It's like going over to a family member's home for dinner. It's such a warm environment. The lamb is tender and melts in your mouth. Everything I've tasted has been delicious. I highly recommend this place!
Very kind, humble, and patient people; it was my first time there and they helped me choose something from there menu and gave me a free pastry to try. I got the spicy chicken entree which was very good and I ended up buying their baklava pastry which was also good. Definitely will come her again with my mother who also loved it. Thank you Zena's!
The best food and service! I've been here twice and I live 7 hours away from here. Everytime we come visit family in O.C. we make sure to eat here. If it's your first time here, they will help you to understand what's on the menu. Spicy chicken is my favorite entree and the hummus is to die for, so smooth and creamy! Also smaller plates if you don't want to eat too much! Very reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. Love it!
This place is dear to my heart. Personal friend just took it over from the previous generation. Come support. Great spot to stop between heading north or south on the 55. Come try Kindly J Hille
The food here was incredible. The owner and son were extremely friendly and helped me pick out some great food. I will definitely be eating here on the regular.
Trust me, give this place a try. I don't like to hype up restraunts, because expectation reduces joy. That being said, my girlfriend and I tried Zena's today for my birthday lunch, and were blown away by the flavors. Simple, delicious Lebanese food with great friendly service. We will definitely be back.
This place is a jewel of cuisine. The food is amazing, the cauliflower is unbelievable. Prefect first date or anniversary win!
Warm, cozy, inviting. Yummy food - try the lamb, chicken or kafta. You won't be disappointed. Next time I'm trying the shrimp!
If I can rate this restaurant 10 stars or more I really would. This is the finest middle eastern Lebanese restaurant and the very best in all California. True there are many Lebanese restaurants, but not excellent and delicious like Zena's. If you really want to taste the authentic Lebanese cuisine, this is the place to be. 25 years going there it gets better and better. I'm simply amazed. The owners are good hearted people and they treat you as family. Well ..it is own by a beautiful Lebanese couple and they are the cooks. Thank you Zena for keeping this beautiful Lebanese culture real+
Amazing food , great service… 3rd generation . The owner told me they’ve been in the same location for over 26 years and it shows .
The flavors in the food are incredible and the portions are very large. Quick, friendly service and clean restaurant. You could easily make a meal just off of their starters (I love the hummus with meat and the tabbouleh) but the falafel and spicy chicken kabobs are so yummy too! Definitely will keep coming back again and again.
Zena’s is back! It has been a bit of a slump over the last few years but no more! The quality has gone through the roof! Eat here!
Got the chicken and rice and the cucumbers with yogurt. The chicken was juicy and braised in a way that was almost sweet. Rice was flavorful. Cucumbers with yogurt was refreshing as an appetizer and was nice with the rice. Also came with warm pita. Servings were large and reasonably priced. Place was clean and decorated simply. As they say "Best Lebanese around"
This place gets a perfect 10!! The owners Shawqui & Esav make you feel so warm and special the second you sit down. The food is beyond fresh and delightful. The ingredients are AMAZING!! This will be my new regular lunch spot!!
PEOPLE and the FOOD are both AWESOME. My wife and I have been going here for about 15 years and not a single time could I remember not thinking, "I can't wait to come back". My wife feels the same way. The two brothers seem to be running things now, I'm not even going to try to spell their names, are so welcoming every time we go. They are doing an excellent job. The food is awesome every time. If I could recommend the chicken kabob and green salad with hummus or rice. You will not be disappointed and probably be back with friends. I don't want everyone to know how good it is because I don't like to wait for a table and haven't yet but these guys deserve the public to know the truth. Guys thanks from Dean &Anita.
Came back for the first time in a while but have been going here since the late 2000s. Used to eat here regularly since I worked nearby. Still delicious, still reasonable though not cheap, and still excellent, friendly service. If you enjoy food from the Med or want to try it, Zena's is worth your hard earned cash.
This is the most delicious Lebanese food I have tasted in all of Orange County! The owners devote so much care and attention to their food and customer service, and it shows. Everything is spiced just right, and the meat is juicy and tender. A story that illustrates just how wonderful this restaurant's approach is: when DoorDash got the order wrong, the owners themselves personally drove from their restaurant to my house in Fullerton to rectify the order, giving me a larger portion on the house. They did it with a smile and such warm graciousness. Hence, on many fronts, Zena's is one of my favorite restaurants in OC.
We catered a party with Zena’s Mediterranean and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Faisal was incredibly helpful in planning the menu—he asked the right questions, made thoughtful recommendations, and helped us choose a spread that worked perfectly for our group. He also went above and beyond by throwing in chafing dishes so we could keep everything warm and serve easily, which made hosting so much smoother. Most importantly: the food was a hit. Everyone at the party really enjoyed it and we got a ton of compliments. Great service, great food, and genuinely helpful people. We’ll definitely be back (and would absolutely cater with them again).
Amazing service today and the Lebanese food was delicious too. Everything was made fresh to order and arrived on a timely basis. Loved the lentil soup and baba ganoush. The grilled chicken skewer was really tasty and fresh. Not too salty but perfectly seasoned. The spicy potatoes was outstanding with extra garlic and hot and fresh. So good. Great work boss. Father and son make a good team here at Zena’s Lebanese restaurant. Highly recommended on your next visit to Orange.
Zena’s Lebanese Cuisine is a true gem in Orange! I recently ordered delivery from Zena’s and was completely blown away. Every dish was absolutely divine—generous portions, fresh ingredients, and flavors that were both unique and comfortingly familiar. You can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite. Even without a Lebanese background, I felt welcomed by the food—it wasn’t intimidating or overly exotic, just delicious, high-quality cuisine clearly made with love. The restaurant is family-owned, and it shows in the best way possible. There's something special about supporting a place that’s been part of the community for years, now lovingly passed down to the next generation. Zena’s has earned a loyal new customer, and I can’t wait to dine in soon and experience it fresh from the kitchen. Highly, highly recommend!
My wife and I joined 2 friends there yesterday, and it was great. They've been there before, but I hadn't. We shared hummus, pita bread, salad and 3 skewer combos. It was all delicious. We'll be back.
A must attended for anyone looking to enjoy delicious middle eastern food. In a time where we are lead to soulless commercialism, this restaurant has intentions of serving you nothing but the best from their heart. I was greeted by the owner, and served by his lovely daughter and son. I overheard that the they recently bought the restaurant from another family, so they support would be much needed. They told me to expect some additions to the menu. I wish them the best, and I hope anyone reading this is compelled to support our community. Thank you!
One of my absolute Favorite, Family owned restaurants. I’ve been going here for 15 years. The first bite I took tasted like I was eating my grandmas food! I continue to dine here and am never disappointed. I continually crave the taste of Zena’s delicious food!
Zenas is one of the last mom and pops with superior quality, healthy ingredients, amazing food, and family care and service. Love Zenas so much!
Delightful food and amazing people! And amazing platters. Probably among the best grape leaf dishes I’ve had. Very nice falafel. Great veggie options!
Family owned for over 3 generation. Food was phenomenal and the staff was friendly. They're expanding their menu and looking forward to coming back. We had the spicy chicken plate, kibbeh, chicken and kafta plate. Big portions so try sharing and make it a family style dinner.
Exelente comida todo tiene muy buen sabor nos encantó comimos muy a gusto gracias por la atención
Está es una de mis comidas favoritas y esté lugar está muy limpio la comida está deliciosa y tienen un exelente servició
¡Guau, guau, guau! ¡Qué grata sorpresa! He pasado por allí unas 50 veces. Alguien me sugirió probarlos, ya que me encanta la pasta de ajo. Son un acierto y probablemente se merecen unas cuantas estrellas más. Aderezo para ensaladas... Ya sé, ¿quién habla de aderezos?... ¡Pruébalo! ¡Ya verás!
¡La cocina libanesa de Zena's es una verdadera joya en Orange! Hace poco pedí comida a domicilio en Zena's y quedé completamente impresionado. Cada plato estaba absolutamente divino: porciones generosas, ingredientes frescos y sabores únicos y reconfortantemente familiares. Se siente el cariño y la tradición en cada bocado. Aunque no tengo antecedentes libaneses, me sentí como en casa con la comida; no era intimidante ni demasiado exótica, simplemente una cocina deliciosa y de alta calidad, claramente hecha con amor. El restaurante es familiar, y eso se nota de la mejor manera posible. Hay algo especial en apoyar un lugar que ha formado parte de la comunidad durante años y que ahora se ha transmitido con cariño a la siguiente generación. Zena's se ha ganado una nueva clientela fiel, y estoy deseando volver a cenar pronto y disfrutar de la comida recién salida de la cocina. ¡Lo recomiendo muchísimo!
Era mi primera vez allí. Lamentablemente, solo puedo comer allí cuando estoy de visita desde el norte de California. El cordero estaba preparado y cocinado a la perfección; el arroz, delicioso; la sopa de lentejas, exquisita (compré una ración para llevar); el hummus, ¡qué rico!; y el servicio, muy amable. Tuve el placer de probar la sopa de cordero, que no siempre está disponible, ¡estaba deliciosa!
First time here.stopped by on my way home for a quick lunch... Long story short, Baba Ganoush was great with hint of smoky flavor, the Beef Shawarma was tasty and good portions. I'll definitely go back here again. Both dishes are in the photo.
Lamb dishes are excellent and the fries are ridiculously good. To finish a fantastic meal perfectly, ask if they just made their baklava, if so, order some...it's absolutely spectacular when its served still warm from the oven.
The family style environment is second to none. Such a friendly staff. Everyone helps everyone out. They talk and genuinely care about their guests. I had to take a star off because of the AC issues. I get the summer heat but it still was tough.
Really enjoyed this family-owned restaurant. Real deal Lebanese dishes, good service very reasonable prices. Try the Lebneh (kefir cheese) and Hummus topped with lean ground beef, pine nuts & onions. Very good Baklava and coffee for dessert.
Food was good, but the wait for food is VERY long, seemingly unnecessarily. It took almost an hour to receive our food at our table. If you're in a time crunch, this may not be the best option for you. If you have time to wait, the food is good :)
Great food. Lunch reasonable dinners a little pricey.
Zena’s Lebanese Cuisine is a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and tastes like it’s made with love. The owner and family are so welcoming and make you feel right at home. Can’t wait to go back!
Chicken kabobs were tasty. Be sure to ask for dressing on the side as they use a lot of dressing. Service is friendly and sitting on the patio is pleasant...otherwise, bring a sweater
Service was slow, although we were early, and were with a large group of 12, we were there ahead of the rest of the diners. The orders came out piece meal my wife and I ordered a two skewer meal. The chicken and beef seemed over cooked and tough. Dinner was 2 and a half+.
The staff is really nice and welcoming. The food itself isn't the best, about average. They don't have many options for vegetarians or at least not many appetizing options. A little on the pricier side as well. Nothing too special. Good enough place if you're in the area.
Food was good until I saw a short curly black hair in my salad. The waitress just said “that’s not mine.” No apologies. Filet mignon and salad. Hummus was better than most other restaurants.
Be careful when you order take out! Service has gone down. The gal who takes the orders over the phone has a processing problem. I had the gal repeat my order twice, which she did and she entered it incorrectly in the system. The order was close to $200. When you pick up your food, open up the containers and make sure your order is correct. We did not do that. We did it when we got home. Do not trust they take the order correctly because they do not and they don't care to correct their mistake. Bad business practice.
Someone recommended this restaurant and we enjoy Mediterranean cuisine so we were excited to try it out. We came at lunch time but the place was empty. We tried to order the shawarma plate but they were out so the waiter recommended the lamb kabob. The lamb was not bad but it was very expensive for the portion size. We also ordered the cucumber yogurt salad, which was good but once again expensive for what we were getting. The sides that the lamb came with were also small portions for the price. The lamb plate was 19.95 but was barely enough for one meal (it came with a few small pieces of meat). Overall, the food was a 4 but the prices as compared to other Mediterranean restaurants of the same quality make this place a 3 star for me. I may come back if I'm in the area during their lunch menu hours, but otherwise probably not.
We ordered for take out. Parking very easy. Service good. Fries were soggy, meat appeared baked not grilled (no sear on it - we ordered kabobs) and didn’t have much flavor. Rice was good, as was the hummus.
I will admit that the lentil soup and the Fatoush salad were outstanding. But unfortunately my Falafel dish was horrible. The hummus tasted like it's out of a can and the falafel was dry and flaky like it's made from a powder mix. I'm vegan, so those who'll try meat dishes might have a different opinion.
I came in to pick up a $200 to go order and encountered this extremely rude employee. I was working out an issue of missing items with another employee when this guy stepped in to bash him for making a mistake then proceeds to give me attitude for making sure everything was in the bags. There was no reason for him to interfere as we already had the situation under control.
Good food, but check well your bill before pulling out your wallet !! We’ll never come back to this restaurant!! We’ve been 12 adults and 3 lettle kids, we’ve orderd: - 2 large appetizer (10 mix ) $65 each = $130 - We kept asking about undelivered plates! - 4 large mix grill $34.95 each say 35. = $140 - they delivered 3 plates & charged for 4! - 1 Shawrma $14.95 say $15. = $ 15 - 1 shanglish $13.95 say $14. = $ 14 - 1 homemade fries $2.50 say $3. = $ 3 - 1mint tea $8. = $ 8 - 2 baklawa $4.45 each say $5. = $ 10 Total = $ 320 +7.75% taxes = $24.80 say 25 + $ 25 Gratituty 20% = $69 say 70. + $ 70 ————— Grand total = $415 Well, the bill came $578!! I know when you catch someone on the act usually he apologize and give excuses, but here the discussion was useless!
The sever in this place was rude and unwelcomed. She recommended us to go and check Yelp instead of suggesting any food to order. We had a very unpleasant experience. We left without ordering any food.
Went because of the good rating from Yelp. But it was the worst Lebanese restaurant i been to. We went during lunch hour and we had to wait for 30 minutes for the food without even getting our appetizer. And the appetizer was $12.99 for spicy potatoes for the amount smaller than Mcdonalds Regular Fries. We were given store bought pita breads when we were seated but nothing to eat with so we asked for some sauce(usually its free in other Lebanese restaurant) we were charged $2.95 for small sauce bowl. When the food finally came( I ordered lamb kebab) it had only 4 pieces of Kebab for $17.99 and the kebab were not good as well. They charging high end restaurant price for low quality food. No idea how this place has high rating
The owner was very nice however, I waited with my family for 45 minutes while every patron that walked in got seated and served before us. A waiter brought soup to the table that I didn’t order and when I told him this he got interrupted by another patron and addressed her before me. Finally we got up and left! My husband asked the owner what happened and he said our order never got put in and that he was embarrassed.

# Zena's Lebanese Cuisine: Un Viaje Culinario al Corazón de Oriente Medio en Orange, California
En el vibrante panorama gastronómico del sur de California, donde la diversidad culinaria es una norma, existen joyas que logran transportar a sus comensales a tierras lejanas con cada bocado. Zena's Lebanese Cuisine, ubicado en 2094 N Tustin St, Orange, CA 92865, EE. UU., es precisamente uno de esos destinos. Más que un simple restaurante, Zena's se erige como un embajador cultural, ofreciendo una auténtica inmersión en la rica y milenaria tradición gastronómica del Líbano, un país célebre por su hospitalidad, su alegría de vivir y, por supuesto, su exquisita comida.
La cocina libanesa es un reflejo de la historia y geografía de su nación: una encrucijada entre Oriente y Occidente, bañada por el Mediterráneo y bendecida con una tierra fértil. Es una gastronomía que privilegia los ingredientes frescos, los sabores vibrantes y una filosofía de compartir que convierte cada comida en una celebración. Zena's Lebanese Cuisine encapsula esta esencia, invitando a sus visitantes a explorar un mundo de aromas, texturas y tradiciones que van mucho más allá de una simple experiencia culinaria.
Para comprender plenamente lo que Zena's ofrece, es fundamental adentrarse en la historia y los principios de la cocina libanesa. Esta gastronomía es una de las más antiguas y respetadas del mundo árabe, con raíces que se remontan a las civilizaciones fenicia, romana y otomana. Cada imperio y cada cultura que pasó por el Líbano dejó su huella, enriqueciendo un repertorio culinario ya de por sí diverso.
La dieta libanesa se centra en la frescura y la simplicidad. Se basa en una abundancia de cereales integrales, frutas, verduras, pescado fresco y mariscos, y aves de corral. La carne roja, especialmente el cordero, se consume con moderación, a menudo como parte de platos festivos o para ocasiones especiales. El aceite de oliva, el limón, el ajo y una profusión de hierbas frescas como la menta, el perejil y el cilantro son los pilares de casi todos los platos, aportando ese toque mediterráneo inconfundible.
Un elemento central de la experiencia culinaria libanesa es el "mezze", una selección de pequeños platos fríos y calientes que se sirven como aperitivos. El mezze no es solo una forma de empezar una comida; es una filosofía de compartir, de probar una variedad de sabores y de prolongar el placer de la compañía. En Zena's, uno puede esperar encontrar una impresionante variedad de estos platos, cada uno preparado con la autenticidad y el cuidado que reflejan siglos de tradición.
