Frequently Asked Questions

What vegetarian and plant-based mezze options are available at Au Za'atar?

Au Za'atar features an extensive selection of plant-based dishes, including classic Baba Ghanoush ($17.00), walnut-rich Muhammara ($18.50), Spicy Falafel ($18.50), Mudardara ($15.00), and Arnabeet Bi Tarator (fried cauliflower with tahini for $21.00). Most vegetable dips and hot mezze are naturally vegetarian and clearly identified on the menu.

Are there gluten-free entrées and grilled options for diners with dietary restrictions?

Yes, many grilled meat platters (Mashawi) like the Filet Mignon Shish Kebab Platter ($44.00) and Shish Tawook Platter ($35.00) are gluten-free when paired with hand-cut frites instead of vermicelli rice. Seafood items like the whole grilled Luccas Meshwi (branzino) and Samke Harra are also naturally gluten-free.

What specialty non-alcoholic beverages are offered to pair with Lebanese mezze?

In addition to traditional Laban Ayran ($10.00)—a chilled, salted yogurt drink—Au Za'atar serves house specialty frozen drinks including the signature Frozen Mint Lemonada ($12.00), Frozen Jellab ($14.00) made with date molasses, rose water, and pine nuts, and fruit cocktails garnished with pistachios and pine nuts.

How are large group platters and feast options structured for sharing?

The menu includes family-style offerings designed for communal dining, such as the Mixed Grill Platter Supreme ($92.00), which features skewers of Shish Tawook, Filet Mignon, Chicken Kafta, Beef Kafta, Lamb Chops, and Jumbo Shrimp served over frites, as well as showstopping braised dishes like the Dalaa Mahshi ($168.00) stuffed lamb shoulder.

What authentic Levantine desserts are featured on the menu?

Dessert options include traditional warm Knafeh ($17.00) made with baked cheese and orange blossom syrup, flaky nut-stuffed Baklawa ($15.00), Mouhallabie ($11.00) orange blossom milk pudding, and Ashta ($16.50) clotted cream pudding topped with honey, banana, and pistachios.
