Zamaan Cafe

Was driving across Michigan and found this spot outside of Ann Arbor. You walk in and order at the counter, the menu is easy to read and the worker gave us great recommendations. The Shish Tawook were juicy marinated chunks of chicken breast served with rice, garlic sauce and pita bread. Eating all 3 together was so amazing! I also ordered a half Fattoush Salad that was HUGE for only being a half salad.

Really great, medium rare beef shish kabob- so flavorful. Really good charbroiled (chicken) shish tawook. Good kufta as well. It also has a good amount of roast green pepper and tomatoes. I ordered the shish combo, to go, which was --though a splurge-- a good value for the amount of food you get, and (for me) enough for two (meaty) meals. The salad that came with it was a fattoush. I did take out, so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. They did accidentally forget to put in the hummus (and I did not catch it until I got home).

Food was served quickly, I had the Shawarma with rice, and it was delicious.The ambience was clean, and as you would expect for a Middle Eastern restaurant with nice background music

I don't know where Elizabeth Z ate, but it's definitely not Zaaman Café. it sounds like she was out for revenge or something. I have never had anything but excellent food and friendly service. I think like many restaurants after the pandemic they may not have as many workers so if it's busy, it might take a little longer to get served. But I've never been there when it was super busy and I've been served . I have never seen any in unhygienic signs in the restaurant. I don't have any personal steak in this restaurant, but I saw the one rating and the absolutely unhinged review and I just want people to know that that is not all accurate based on my experience. I'm headed to get a salad, very generous portion. You can order grilled chicken on any salad.

Pretty solid hummus and spinach pie! Prices are very fair for the quality. I was pleasantly surprised. (Half the price of Palm Palace!) Just two cons to note: they don't have homemade pita bread and I ordered cold veggies to go with the hummus.... They mostly gave me cauliflower and green peppers - yuck! The bread isn't a huge deal to me and I just won't order the veggies anymore... I do look forward to trying more menu items in the future.

I have had takeout twice and the food is delicious . Both times I have ordered beef plate with rice and grilled tomatoes and bell peppers and Greek salad, the hummus is delicious. The pieces of beef are big chunks and they are very tasty and it's not cheap cuts of beef. Everything on my plate was seasoned perfectly, who ever does the cooking is great. The service is also great, customer service is excellent. I truly recommend this location.

Food is greasy, dingy, and bland. No hospitality. Bad service, infested, and unhygienic.Fruit flies, earwigs, and grime.Unsanitary-- new food, dirty dishes, and baby bottoms go on the same counter. You'd better have a strong immune system.Prepare to be stared at with zero service unless you ask for everything, piece by piece. We are middle eastern (multinational) and very disappointed. We sat down. After many minutes of the employee staring, I got up from my seat and went to the counter, and I said "hi" .... Silence... no response greeting, no questions, not offering anything. I ask for waters. I sat back down, and they holler at you to come to the counter to pick up the waters, with their hands on the rim of the glass. Then they go back into the kitchen and don't offer a menu or anything. More waiting, then you have to ask for menus-- 2 people are expected to share one paper menu. The cheapness continues with almost no chicken in any of the dishes we got, and tabbouli was underdressed and watery. Regular salad is just a few large shreds of iceberg lettuce drowned in dressing that flows into the entree on the same paper plate. Their menu is wrong on what's included, but they intentionally keep it that way instead of printing new ones.Paper plates. You have to ask for a fork (plastic). No knives, so you're left struggling with the large leaves.Garlic sauce tastes old, like it has been absorbing dust and flavors in an old refrigerator. The only initiative they take is to reach their hand out to get the menus back --no words, just more starting. It's like they don't want you there, and I'm happy to oblige.

I ordered shish combo plate with salad. The meat was so juicy and soft and delicious. The rice was superb. The salad was pretty and delicious.I definitely recommend this cafe to anyone who loves Iranian foods!!!!!!!!They also have Persian ice cream ( bastani sonati )And carrot juice with ice cream and khoreshte bamieh , sabzi polo and zereshk polo.

Amazing homemade Mediterranean quality dishes! Great taste, friendly service and reasonable prices. A great place to try all your favorite Mediterranean dishes!

My new favorite middle eastern restaurant in A2. Not as fancy aesthetic as Palm Palace, but the food is better and the owners are wonderful.
