What People Are Saying About Zebda

Featured Review

Jennifer Olvera

Contributor

Mediterranean- and Moroccan-inspired cuisine scents the scene at this stark, terra cotta-floored storefront, which is simply adorned with a hand-written menu and gleaming deli cases. It's strictly carryout, so nothing distracts from the bounty of from-scratch food. The pastilles (savory stuffed pastries), harissa-tinged white bean soup and homemade falafel--as well as a daily tagine and cheesecake-stuffed dates--are favorites. Some salads and cold dishes come from the deli cases, while others are prepared when ordered.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Everything, including the yogurt, is made from scratch.
The Extras:
There are no delivery boundaries, which is amazing since the charge is just $2.
Fun Fact:
There's an emphasis on catering, but don't let the strictly Mediterranean menu fool you: Chef Kate Garcia is versed in world cuisines--she was formerly the chef of Mundial Cocina Mestiza in Pilsen--and she will customize a menu to meet any specifications.

Amazing Deli with Great Prices!

by Chadrock5 at Citysearch

This deli has so much variety and couldnt get over how good their dips were. I had a very nice conversation with the staff there and I felt so comfortable asking questions about all the foods they serve.

Such nice people who have a passion for what they do. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

This place is a gem for sure.

  • Pros: Dips made fresh daily
  • Cons: I wish it was next door to my house.
