Zayed’s Mediterranean Grill brings bold, fresh flavors to the Memorial District. This fast-casual restaurant opened its doors in CityCentre this month, offering family-friendly dining tastes for all palate.
The heart of Zayed’s is the grill. From shawarma to kebabs, beef to lamb, fish to eggplant, Zayed’s has something for everyone. Order from the grill and pair it with Zayed’s sides: hummus in many flavors, salads, hot dishes, Mediterranean classics like tabouli and baba ghanouge. Many of the recipes are naturally vegetarian and gluten free.
Everything at Zayed’s is made in house; the meat is halal and locally sourced as are the other ingredients including the produce and spices. While the commitment to making everything from scratch takes patience and work, owner and chef, Mike Zayed says, “It’s fun. We have a great team.”
Zayed studied Mediterranean cuisine internationally before coming to Houston and opening his first restaurant in 1990. Since then, he has opened Little Napoli Italian Cuisine and the Wine Cellar in the Theater District Downtown. After many years serving up Italian flavors, he decided it was time to go back to his roots and training and let Houston sample the flavors of Aleppo, Syria.
Situated between Sweet Paris and Bowl & Barrel, Zayed’s is a bright, open restaurant pairing rich wood with warm stone accents. Unique to this restaurant are the 20-foot-tall murals of photographed landmarks in Syria. In addition to ample seating, Zayed’s has a private dining room that can be reserved for group and private parties. Valet parking is complimentary for both lunch and dinner. If dining-in is not an option, try mobile ordering or delivery. Stop by today at 797 Sorella Ct, Ste 102 or online at zayedsgrill.com.
