    Amazing, authentic, fresh, and taste like Grandmas recipes. Menu is not large, but the selection is! Had a hard time choosing what I wanted, it all sounded amazing. It’s kinda like the owner took the best of the food options from their country and perfected it for the restaurant. Chicken vegetable soup, best I’ve ever had. The garlic dip, I put it on everything. Very quaint place, nicely decorated and amazing food! My server was Gina, she was very attentive and helpful when choosing dishes. Great server!!!!! Definitely can’t wait to come back for more! Also want to thank my friend Robert for the recommendation, he definitely knows good food!!!!!!!!

    We thought...why not try a different place to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday as we love Mediterranean food. Our waitress was amazing, seemed to be the only one that cared about anything as the owner sauntered around with her nose in the air. My daughter ordered a backlatini...they didn't have the ingredients, made up some sort of martini and it was sent right back, tasted like a candle. Gyro....consisted of a pita, meat and grease, nothing else!!! We had to ask for tzatziki....grape leaves had to be sitting in vinegar for countless days, were soggy and just awful....falafel sandwich was simply awful and tasted very fishy and so did the French fries that came with everyone's sandwiches which confuses me. I've never seen French fries with a Mediterranean entre. Maybe on a kids menu portion. I've NEVER left a Mediterranean resturant feeling bloated and sick to my stomach, we left with more food than we ate. I was ill the remainder of the evening. What a celebration. When you want Mediterranean you think fresh, light, delicious....Zenobia is greasy, stale and awful. If you want this type of food in Youngstown Aladdin's is for sure the best you will have. Garbanzo is great too! I'd also like to add our bill was absolutely outrageous. I will say thank you to our amazing waitress, she had no idea we were dissatisfied with the food, as it was not her fault that the restaurant has such poor cuisine.

    An amazing dining experience. Explore all of the food temptations. I promise you will be hooked. Ask to sit outside on the patio. Once the sun sets, the fragrance of Jasmine awakens your senses. My favorite restaurant of all time. You are certainly treated like royalty.

    Zenobia is a very good spot to check out if you enjoy quick and delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Service is attentive and food comes quick! . The hummus is good not great . The pita bread is served at room temp which I'll let you decide how you feel about that one. . .... The Chicken on the rod was charred nicely but the meat was a touch dry... just a touch The rice is par cooked rice , which most casual restaurants use but the flavor was on point 👉 ! Give it a try !

    Oh my goodness, I love this place. Their food is always good and they have the best grape leaves I've ever had. Everything I've had here had been very delicious.

    Good quality, but I am not familiar with Syrian cuisine a bit more bland than what I am accustomed to with Greek or Lebanese food.

    Really liked our first visit here. The only downfalls to me were the noise level is really high in here and I couldn't hear my wife when she talked and I ordered the chicken and rice and my chicken was barely warm and it was dry. (Heat lamp I would guess) The best part of our meal was the Kibbe, I can honestly say it was HOT, FRESH, and the absolute BEST I have ever had!!! The grape leaves also were REALLY good!

    Our server was amazing. Our food was amazing. when I went up to carryout to order two slices of cake ----$6.99 A SLICE I was met with an incredibly hostile carryout girl who rolled her eyes and said loudly "I can't believe I have to cut cake right now!!!!" I felt really uncomfortable and offered to not order cake and just leave but then she sighed and said "it's fiiiiiiiine" as if I am still impositioning her to the highest degree. like I was asking her to climb Mount everest to collect some rare rock which she could forge a blade suitable enough to cut my cake. she then went on loudly complaining to the staff about someone wanted the manager on the phone as if how dare they ever call their establishment. basically everyone was trash to her. she cut the SMALLEST slice of cake and then for the second cake, a friendly lady, whom I am assuming was the manager, cut the other slice which was generous and properly done. by that point I really didn't want to even give them my money or the cake, but my family of 5 wanted to share 2 slices of this delicious cake when we got home tonight, so I grinned , kept silent and swiped my card. everyone has bad nights but wow, just wow!!!

    Food was good, but our waitress helped added to her tipped amount. Called the next day and got the runaround with the management. Won't be back with a dishonest staff. Response: This event happened a year ago. I called a few times and it's been a year without being resolved. This is a very corporate response now that it is public, to an issue that wasn't worth the time check receipts or books. I haven't eaten there since, and will continue to warn people.

    I would highly recommend Zenobia. This was our first time here...we will be back! My husband got the lamb over rice. I got the lamb combination plate. We typically share so we get to try more items. Both were delicious! And the portions were significant. We both took some home. We got the sampler appetizer (not sure of the exact name). The potatoes...omw! Well, we ate all of those. It had asparagus and zucchini with it as well. I Do Not eat asparagus, but my husband encouraged me to try it...I did...It was really good. If asparagus tasted like this all the time, I would eat it...a lot! The sauce on the asparagus and zucchini was very good. My lamb was done to perfection. I am not a fan of grape leaves but these we very good. This is the first time I had kibble and I really liked it as well. I did put the hummus on it, I did prefer it that way. My husband's meal, the lamb over rice, was so flavorful and actually quick delicious. He preferred his meal over mine but liked them both. He is not a fan of grape leaves but said the ones with my dinner were the best he had ever had. The service was wonderful! Very attentive (but not overly obnoxious). She was kind and knowledgeable about the different items and was happy to answer all of our questions. The atmosphere is quite nice. Very clean and pleasant. Not loud at all, however, we were there at about 1:00pm. Not sure how it would be in the evening. They have a very nice patio. We sat inside and I was a bit chilly but not terribly uncomfortable. That would have been my only complaint if you even call it a complaint. Honestly, it wasn't even that bad. Two thumbs up from us! 👍👍 We even got a gyro to-go for our son to try. We'll see what he thinks...

    I always love Zenobia! First of all- such attentive and helpful staff. The food is always fresh and cooked/grilled to perfection. I can smell how amazing the food is as soon as I step out of my car and walk in. We order from here and dine-in quite a bit. Love this place.

  • 4/5 afreen m. 2 years ago on Google
    There is nothing ever wrong with the food served here, it's just not incredible. The kitchen sometimes messes up orders, but the food and price is always reliably good.

  • 3/5 nicknak 2. 1 year ago on Google
    I hate giving a poor review. You ask for my experience and mine was not a good one. I'm not being harsh rather just giving an honest review of our night. Our food came out at all different times so people had finished eating before others even got their meals. There were 8 of us so those without a meal insisted that the others start eating... that is uncomfortable. All of our checks were wrong and we had to wait 40 minutes for them to be sorted out only to find they were still wrong. The food was good but there are places local to me that serve the same quality without the hassle. This was a first and a last for me. I understand the shortage of help but the customer should never feel it.

    My husband and I stopped in for dinner. We have eaten here once. We shared a small order of stuffed grape leaves and the spinach artichoke salad with hearts of palm. Additionally we ordered the spinach lentil soup. Everything was wonderfully fresh and tasted excellent. I would definitely eat here again.

    Our Retired Gals Group met up at Zenobia recently and had a wonderful time! The food was absolutely amazing and so was our server!!! (I believe her name was Lexi.) My salmon with onions and rice was delicious and the best salmon I have ever eaten. Can’t wait to come back and eat there again soon! It’s definitely worth the one hour drive.

    Love this place! Food was excellent and staff was super friendly. First time having grape leaves and it knocked my socks off! Signature dessert was yummy and the wine pairing they suggested was great (forgot what it was called-red blend). It was so good I went back again the next night. Tried the schwarma this time and wow was it good! This will be my new go to for take out next time I'm in town!

    I love this place! Food is so good! Everything! Awesome patio and great desserts. If you like Syrian/Mediterranean, this is the place for you!!

  • 2/5 Dan S. 7 months ago on Google
    I was really expecting a 4.5 star restaurant, but all we got was the mediocre food, service, and atmosphere of a 2 star hole in the wall. I swear restaurants make up the reviews with their employees...either that or people just don't know good food. First off, made a reservation online for 6:30 on a Friday, come in that day to find out nobody has my reservation, and also come to find out their online registrations have been broken for months. Maybe remove the reservations online? We got seated at very small table that didn't fit anything around you that also blinded you in sunlight. The army of waiters they had pacing the floor back and forth back and forth and not one minded the sun just in my eyes. At this point I was obviously contemplating shutting the blinds but thankfully a waiter ended up seating a more serious couple and one of them closed the blind for the disgruntled man. We were asked for our drinks very promptly, but when the water cups came out, there was lipstick all over the mouth of the glass. Absolutely disgusting. When our appetizers started arriving we quickly saw an issue with the table we were sitting at.....it's not big enough for their humungous plates. Seriously this appetizer plate took up about 50% of the table, and mind you about 30% of the table was already taken up by the random salts, peppers and basket of pita bread (what the heck is the pita for if you don't order appetizers? What if I just want a sandwich? This really made the ordering process stressful for me, since I wanted to utilize the nice pita on the table... I really should have just ended up getting a sandwich....) We asked for ranch with our appetizer plate. Got none. Asked for no sauce on the veggies, still got sauce....Wow okay...off to a bad start. Their menu photos don't look like anything they actually served us. Their potato appetizer platter with veggies online looked like a nice fried potato pancake of sorts with zucc and asparagus....it was literally underdone oily chewy potato chips with a little oil and lemon thrown on top of them. The asparagus roots were left on the final product, really amateur. I don't want to have to tackle my asparagus and hope I got the veggie part and not the root. Zucc was fine. My lamb on the rod was the worst lamb I've ever had the displeasure of tasting... no marinade, the pieces were cooked medium well, the pink was nice so I was excited...just how I ordered...yes!!....but these lamb pieces were like chewy jawbreaker gumballs. Not to mention the flavor was off and tasted like a burned grill. This is not how it's supposed to be. It's really sad. I've eaten at many middle eastern and Mediterranean food joints in Ohio and Michigan so I know what good lamb is supposed to be. This lamb would probably be great if it was actually seasoned correctly. My girlfriend's family come from a Arabic/Yemeni family so I've been shown the ropes and this really isn't acceptable lamb. Your rice tastes like it came from a rice-a-roni package. Upgrade your quality of rice. The side salad was a bunch of wilted romaine lettuce with tomato. Pretty normal affair but I've had better execution at other places for sure. Your sauce cups look the exact same...which one is garlic...which one is lemon? A slight annoyance after all our table has been through. I wanted to love this place, but I don't think we will ever be back.

    It is very nice and cozy here. The food is good and the waiter was Soo nice. I also like that the tables are spaced apart looks per the CDC guidelines, for 6 feet apart. We don't bump into others going to our table and leaving. The food is good too. T

  • 5/5 Kim 9 months ago on Google
    I recommend the sampler platter (which should come with bread for dipping), and baklava. Sit on the patio if you can.

  • 5/5 Carol A R. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Mediterranean food I have had in the Youngstown area.. The appetizers were awesome . M y main meal meal of Lamb and Rice with spectacular. I can't say enough about this place. The service was great and it was clean Just a great place to eat

    My husband and I went here for something different and we were not disappointed. The staff was incredibly helpful in recommending food choices and very friendly. The food was delicious. We will definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 Jude Mercer (. 10 months ago on Google
    I’m gonna have to admit it. This is some of the best food I’ve ever had and I’ve had Steak Frites in Paris, Goulash in Budapest, and Fish n Chips in London. The grape leaves were the most incredible I’ve ever had and I’ve had them in Venice. The chicken shawarma sandwich may have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Definitely get those two items.

  • 5/5 Brenda C. 1 year ago on Google

    Food was delicious as always. Have had better service but was tolerable. Bummed we couldn't get a table outside although it looked like some were available. I'm sure they had their reasons.

  • 5/5 Karen O. 11 months ago on Google
    We love this Middle Eastern restaurant, especially the outside dining. They accommodate our dinner group well and offer a wide range of apps, sandwiches and dinners, as well as a full bar.

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 1 year ago on Google
    So good. We heard the chicken could be hit or miss, so we stick to lamb. It was delicious. Staff was super friendly.
