This Levant street food spot is so cool it looks like a set for an MTV show, what with its grafitti art, keffiyeh check details and trendy types everywhere. The food lives up to the decor, too – the menu is a study of all things flatbread, and we guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you opt for carbs. Try the chicken shawarma wrap – it may not look much, but the quality of the chicken exceeds its lowly price tag.

good food worst service.

waited for almost half an hour just for a pot of morrocan tea just to find there's no sugar in it.. when we asked for sugar, the waiter gave us such an unpleasant facial expression "no sugar in it?? rellyyy?" came back few min later, slam the sugar jar on our table. without tea spoon, so we just stir the sugar with a table spoon,we're just not bother to ask anything from them anymore after several call we made to 'the unhappy to assist waitress' because they keep missing something from our food order. what a SHAME!!! n 'the supervisor', was just standing there next to our table, watching us without doing anything. will NEVER ever come back.

You'd think that they'd attempt to improve their service after receiving multiple complaints about it. Not the case. Service goes from bad to worse. All the floor managers can do is say that they cant do anything about it. They dont even pick up their delivery phone lines. Too bad since their food is good.

Here is a restaurant that stands out from competitors with a sign that lights up and an eclectic interior (inside is decorated like a bazaar, with a few tables on the ground where customers can place order for multiple tables and take higher ground ). Outside, a terrace and sip animated world of the weekend and discuss benefits of dishes from the restaurant.

The map-based Middle East first proposes a variety of fruit juices. Then the choice, many choices of products such as Mezzes cold or hot, wrap or flat Man'oushe (this is the bread which differs in sanwich), falafel, shawarma, or fateer saj ....

The map is presented on a long piece of paper and you check what you want. The service is friendly and young. The clientele is mainly local and young.

That day I ordered a "Garlic Chicken Wrapped Man'oushe" with french fries.
Fast service within 10 minutes.

Excellent sandwich, composed of salads, chicken, tomatoes, pickles, cheddar, and garlic sauce. Great surprise the fries were good and not frozen.

Very good value for money, AED 25 for all.

I would discover other dishes.

NB: as desserts they propose a saj with nutella, bananas and nuts, a caloriq bomb.

Areas for improvement:
- Damage to the terrace overlooking the road. A bit noisy.

Unfriendly answer over the phone.
The Sandwiches are not to the standard compare to their price, infact not to the Standard period.

I was looking forward to trying this place but was very disappointed. They have the food items they use displayed all over the store so I decided to take a look at the labels.... full of MSG and artificial junk. Cream cheese from a squeezable container?! Meat in a can? Hot dogs in a can? What was I going to eat??!!

Thanks Zaroob for displaying your food items so I know never to return.

Great food, however service is slow and A/C is not working properly.
We waited almost 20 min to order! and another 10 min witing for bill.

Waitress complained of workload and A/C being out of order for 3 weeks.

Otherwise it was a good one time experiance.

the Decor was great, and the food is one of the best foods in the area but the service is so bad, I complained couple of times, even my friends complained and spoke with the manager but nothing worked, I decided not to go their as long as they have the same service :)

Food is so amazing and Chefs are friendly. Nice music and beverages.
However in terms of service I think they need to train and improve more.
Very classy and stunning ambience.

Extremely poor service !! Waited for almost 30 mins for our starters which were a couple plates of Hummous !!! Food portions are tiny (although tasty) and not worth the price. we had to wait another 20 mins for our bill to arrive ...

I complained to the manager there and he didn't seem to care much !!! Would never recommend it anyone. Better joints down the road from there .... with much better service.

All I can say is, FANTASTIC ambience coz it's very relaxing and what else you can do is to reminisce all the things way back from your childhood days. So don't miss out your chance to visit Zaroob. For sure all of you will love the place also. :)

It is a very unique Levant street concept with a fusionised contemporary design & hand made chairs, tables, stools & table ware.

We miss these kind of concepts that relates to the Soul & your childhood experience.

It is combining Food from the alley's of the Levant & Egypt, It has Charcoal Shawarma, Oven Baked Man'ouche, Saj, Egyptian Fateer & Koshare, (Foul, Hommous & Falafel) & Freshly squeezed Juices.

& guess what, prices are Super cheap & the quality is outstanding.

The service is also phenomenon & staff are super friendly.

Dont miss out on Zaroob, you have to pay them a visit.

Better Lebanese food (Saj, Hummus, Haloomi cheese etc) is available at least half a dozen restaurants on SZR. Our waiter was very confused. Saj was very soggy. Portions very small. Would rather go to Zaatar wa Zait or Shakespeare & Co.
