I ate here many years ago when they first opened and I was HOOKED! I haven't been back to Santa Monica in years, but I never forgot about this place. When I brought my family to Santa Monica this place was on the "Must Do" list... They did not disappoint. Great food

Great place for healthy food. Our families go to place. Great cauliflower appetizer. Awesome kafta kabob.

I was lost in the area and my phone had died so I decided I needed to find a bar or restaurant to get my phone charged. Z garden seemed like an oasis in the desert. I had the Schwarma plate generous portions really good food and their classic Lebanese garlic sauce was amazing. For what you pay you will be served a generous portion.

I've ordered delivery several times and the food is always fresh and delicious. The chicken shawarma platter is great, the rice and sides (house salad, lentil salad, eggplant) are amazing. It's my go-to spot for a healthy, home-cooked meal that'll last multiple servings.

Great service, great food. Solid 4.5 on 5 experience. We tried the Falafel bowl and Shrimp skewer with sides of rice and hummus. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious, despite this being a takeout order. The shrimp was grilled perfectly, and was succulent with the garlic sauce. Falafel was one of the best we had. Not too dense or oily, just the right crunch. With the tahini that had some lemon, it added oomph to the meal. There was enough shrimp, but the falafel bowl felt a little light with only 3 falafels. On hindsight, we should've added more. If you are in the sunset/ocean park area of Santa Monica and craving some quick, excellent Mediterranean, Z garden will provide a flavorful experience. We will definitely be back. Tip: Free parking outside the restaurant. Order online directly with restaurant, they have coupons for first time customers.

My daughter and I felt like a little Mediterranean so we chose Z Garden! We ordered the combo (beef, chicken and lady's kabobs) with rice, babaghannouj and baklava. The combo was excellent, I don't even know which meat I liked best as they were equally flavorful and tender. The rice was also great, seasoned and perfectly cooked. The quantity of the sauces was impressive. The baklava was a tasty flakey treat. We door dashed this and it held up well in the travel time. Next time we will dine in the restaurant to get the full experience. We really enjoyed it!
