Here Is What Your Zaatar W Zeit Order Says About You

First off, thank you Zaatar w Zeit for existing and being a go-to food place for any time of day. As a fellow ZWZ eater, here are the ordering patterns that we have noticed over the years. We are what we eat so here is what your ZWZ order says about you.


1. If you order the new menu item



“Man, khalas bedde otlob el choco boom, awlik ba3mol hyperglycaemia?”

You are definitely one of the brave ones who like to take on a challenge from time to time. So when that knefeh on a wrap came out, it was your favorite food for a week or two.


2. If you order cheese fries EVERY TIME



Ordering cheese fries alongside every order means that you are satisfying that seemingly endless salt craving. But we all know cheese fries from ZWZ will never taste as good as when you’re having them at 4 A.M after a crazy night out.




3. If you order a mighty kafta



Word on the street is that you eat to live and not vice versa.


4. If you order turkey and cheese with a side of honey mustard



You live for self-love, and you make sure to recommend this combo to anyone who is ordering with you. “No way chou taybin sawa rah tmout/e”.


5. If you order hummus & avocado wrap or the spinach wrap



STOP MAKING L.A CULTURE HAPPEN IN BEIRUT. STOP MAKING L.A CULTURE HAPPEN IN BEIRUT. STOP MAKING L.A CULTURE HAPPEN IN BEIRUT. STOP MAKING L.A CULTURE HAPPEN IN BEIRUT. STOP MAKING L.A CULTURE HAPPEN IN BEIRUT. But really, stop and just order a spicy chicken wrap, Leila.


6. If you order a quinoa tabbouleh



It’s either you are lying about being hungry or full, there is simply no other way. You can almost hear the person saying: “Didn’t you read that quinoa is the new most filling protein?”. Uhm no, a full t-bone steak is but go off Christina.


7. If you order chicken marinara or potato chicken skillet



There is an off-chance you know what I am talking about because no one ever orders these items on the menu. If you are one of those people who do, then you are a feisty and unpredictable little one who doesn’t live by the rules of society. But also, it means that you are likely to order a steak frites at Crepaway, out of all places.


8. If you order the brown baked falafel



Regardless from the fact that this wrap is actually delicious, I don’t get it you are too bougie for the 3,000LL falafel from Sahyoun?


9. If you order famous chicken without thinking



You are a humble person with a simple taste. You are a regular at ZWZ who doesn’t even blink twice before ordering a famous chicken. If someone tries to suggest something, you spurt out a “Kif btestarjeh tghayrileh my ZWZ routine yaane? Botlob nafs el chi men ana w bel madraseh max bzid 3alaya cheese fries.”


10. If you order oil-free zaatar



You are craving carbs but you don’t wanna go nuts with a cocktail man2ouche so you order that only to realise that your acid reflux is triggered for the rest of the day. “Shit, ktir taybeh bess nsit khabriyet el 2arha”


11. If you order a 3arous labne ma3 sunny side up eggs please



You most probably don’t live with your family and you miss the taste of a Lebanese homey breakfast. So you decide to happily yet rightfully splurge on an overpriced local breakfast and Facetime your mom as you eat it. But seriously, 3arous labne takes 0.1% effort, just do it yourself.
