Very mixed experience.
The tabbouleh & grilled halloumi salad were good - no complaints there. The shish taouk was acceptable, but the fries? An embarrassment. Zero flavor, clearly frozen, nothing homemade - disappointing considering the price. The rice with chicken meatballs in tomato sauce was just okay.
But the worst part? The knafeh. Absolutely awful. Bland, mushy, no texture, no soul. It was straight-up disgusting & ruined the meal's ending.
Aside from the salads, everything else ranged from mid. But I won't be coming back.View more

We've now been to Abu El Zolof twice, & both times were a blast - but this past weekend was extra special as we chose to celebrate our friend's birthday there, & it was the perfect choice.
The place is spacious, clean, & beautifully set up for a lively night out. Right from the moment we walked in, the energy was great - you could feel that everyone was there to have a good time. The staff was welcoming, professional, & the service overall was smooth & attentive throughout the night.
They recently made a few changes to their set menu. Now it's $75 per person, & for that, you get a full mezza spread followed by BBQ kebab platters. Let me just say - the food was delicious. Every bite brought back familiar Lebanese flavors that felt both authentic & fresh.
We enjoyed everything from the fattoush, tabouli, hummus, baba ghanouj, & mhamara to the perfectly made kibbeh & wara2 3inab (stuffed grape leaves). These two classics were especially tasty - the kibbeh had that perfect crunch on the outside & was juicy inside, & the grape leaves were soft, tangy, & flavorful.
The grilled meats were also a hit - tender, juicy, & well-seasoned.
If I had to suggest anything, it would be to add a couple of hot mezza dishes (like soujouk, makanek, or rakakat) to make the menu feel even more complete & rich - especially for the price point. But that's just a suggestion; the overall quality of the food was excellent.
This is where Abu El Zolof really shines. The singer was absolutely amazing - great voice, engaging, & knew exactly how to get the crowd going. The atmosphere turned into a full-on celebration with everyone clapping, dancing, & singing along.
To top it off, they had a belly dancer, & she was incredible - full of energy & talent, really elevating the whole experience. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into the entertainment, & it makes all the difference.
Whether you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special or just want a night of good food, music, & dancing, Abu El Zolof delivers. We had such a great time that we're already thinking about going back again.
Highly recommend this place for a fun night out - Lebanese-style!View more
