Zait & Zaatar

Located one block from the 5 freeway, Zait & Zataar is our pick for a quick meal before getting on the road. The order-at-the-counter Lebanese spot is 100% halal, with a gigantic menu with dedicated sections for breakfast, mezze, salads, lunch bowls, and fresh baked goods. If you’re in a rush, go for the Arabi-style wrap. We love the slightly sweet, marinated chicken shawarma, but you can’t go wrong with any filling, because the flatbread wrap itself is so good: warm and buttery, with crispy golden edges that crackle with each bite. If you see us driving down Brookhurst with one of these in our hands, mind your business.
