tried a new spot last night...was a little nervous because it was empty in there. we did two platters, the chicken shawarma and beef gyro both were outstanding. both came with yellow rice, salad with a bold spiced dressing and hummus with pita bread. wish my gyro would have had more cucumber sauce but that is probably because i could drink that stuff. overall will be back!!!

yum aagain. every other time i have been to zaina i have gone with the standard gyro. sometimes i'm just craving a really good gyro and i know i can get it here. today i wasn't craving anything so i went with the chicken artichoke (#8) served over yellow rice with hummus and tabouli on the side. i rarely order anything made with chicken. i'm definitely a beef, bacon, game meat type of girl. but, no regrets today! the chicken was tender and flavorful and the sauce was absolutely delicious and no skimping on the artichokes. traditionally this comes with a side house salad. i chose tabouli instead. while this tabouli hade more parsely and less cracked wheat than i am used to and was even a little more acidic than i'm used to, i really enjoyed it. the tartness played well off of the creaminess of the chicken dish. frankly, i loved it best when i took a piece of pita bread, spread it with hummus scooped on some chicken and rice and crowned it with the tabouli and got it all in one bite. delish! the pic is what was left after i was full.

i eat here for lunch about once a week. i love it. consistently good food, timely delivered at a reasonable price. live everything i've tried: beef and chicken gyros, chicken shawarma, kafta kabob and lentil soup, especially. a good local place amidst the chains.

came in by chance. went to a concert at the midland theatre and found out that almost every place around here closes at 5 p.m. so myself and the lady walked around looking for food and stumbled into this place, and man, are we glad we did.

i got the chicken shawarma and she got a gyro with humus. the shawarma was delicous! like other people have said, this place has amazing humus, best i've ever had.

they get it. complete 180 from the previous restaurant in this space. cupini's focused on ambiance and style, while serving obviously microwaved pasta that took a perplexingly long time to come to the table. zaina hasn't even repainted the italian frescos from cupinis, but they know they don't have to.

they serve good food, fast. a great addition to the downtown lunch scene.

not real greek food!. i usually don't waste time writing reviews, but the food i had today at zaina was absolutely horrible!! to begin, the young woman at the counter struggled in taking my order and that immediately caused concern. next, i observed the cook warming the gyro meat and pitas up in the microwave. and finally, when i received my food, the gyro meat was hard and dry; the pita bread was completely stale; the "greek salad" was coated in some sort of indescribable dressing that was red and bitter; and the hummus was simply inedible!! in all fairness, i may have higher standards for food than most midwesterners since i'm from nyc, but i can say with certainty that the food at zaina would never be consumed by people who have ever eaten true greek or mediterranean food before! if you want greek food that's actually edible and good (for the midwest), go to mr. gyro in overland park or to the mediterranean restaurant in the river market...but don't bother eating at zaina!

the falafel was different. seasoned (i think) with cinnamon and allspice.

delivery!?. this review has nothing to do with the food. they deliver when they have time to deliver i guess. i called @ 11:30 and requested a delivery. the man on the phone said "not during lunchtime" :-(

awesome food. we were in kc over the weekend and stumbled upon this place. the food was so good! everyone in our group stuck with the chicken gyro, but all got a different side. the prices are great. the staff was great. would definitely recommend this place.
