Reviews for Zara Mediterranean Charcoal Grill in Glen Allen, VA

Okay my experience was good. The meats and salad were definitely above average and yum. The only criticisms I could add was the... nan bread provided seemed like an afterthought compared to other traditional Mediterranean food joints and not worth adding andit was expensive. For myself and my wife lunch was $46. Read more

Very good food! I could only describe it as authentic and true to taste. The guy running the place is named George and he was... one of the nicest person you'll ever meet. I ended up welding a part to one of cooktop burners after striking up a conversationwith him about my type of work. Definitely a good experience and two thumbs up with the food. Read more

I?ve had better gyros. It was just the meat. No cucumber souse, feta cheese, red onion, yellow pepper, etc. It lack everything... you look for in a Greek/Mediterranean food. The falafels we good but dry. The French fries where French fires. And they onlyprovide Pepsi products. Read more

I get take out lunch here at least once a week and the food is always consistently delicious and tender. The salad is crisp and... fresh and the sauces are fantastic. The staff have always been friendly. My usual order is a chicken and beef skewer with theGreek salad. Yummy! Read more

The very first time it was amazing. Every visit since then, the food quality has changed. When you have a taste for something... and look forward to it, when that standard is not met, that leaves abad taste in your mouth. The gyro meat was good, but thebread was burnt and the fries tasted like railroad spikes. My wife's food was ok, so I guess I will give them another chance.Anyone can have a bad day. Read more

The service was very nice Mr. John Wayne checked to make sure we were good. The food was good until I found a baby roach in my... food. Mr. John Wayne was very apologetic and refunded our money. Read more

I'm a regular at this regular. Hands down the best Persian / Middle Eastern restaurant in RVA. One of the few Middle Eastern... restaurants in USA where the beef kabab (steak on menu) is not chewy...it's so tender. Also love there chicken kabab, beefkoobideh (ground beef on menu) are so juicy. Best gyros. Love there fresh Naan (bread) and hummus. Prices are very reasonable Read more

Zara?s hands down has the best gyro in the area. They are put together picture perfect and have the freshest ingredients. The... gyro meat is very tasty and is high quality halal meat along with all the other meat used at the restaurant. I highly recommendstarting off with the trio platter to try their insanely good dips such as the humus, tzatziki, or my personal favorite theireggplant dip. Lastly, I recommend trying their fries as a side. They are very good and are the crispy double fried batteredfries which are my favorite. I cannot recommend Zara?s enough for anyone in the mood for a gyro or any other authenticMediterranean dish. Read more
