the owner of cafe zia is amazing, but we walk past the adams ave spot every day and wish we could go in...what is the problem?
Adams Ave street fair would be a good opening day...please please |

I was really disappointed by the food here. Everything in my tofu wrap (lettuce included) tasted very strongly of chicken, and everything in my friend's chicken wrap tasted very strongly of tofu. I usually don't care about accidental meat exposure, but this was ridiculous. Pretty gross. |

Although I am not a vegetarian, I went to this restaurant with my gf who is because she had heard good things about. The chicken wrap I ordered was the most 'interesting' thing I've eaten in recent memory. It had so many different flavors, sauces, and ingredients crammed into it that I had no idea what the heck I was eating. Words cant describe how unusually bad this wrap was. The chicken tasted like tofu... the mushrooms tasted like salmon...and the nuts! Oh man the nuts! They'd put about a quarter pound of nuts in the damn thing. The best part too was that they had added soggy, oily potatoes mixed in with their 'special sauce.' This sauce merits its own paragraph. Its a combination of honey, hot sauce, and yogurt! They about about half cup of it in your wrap....mmm... My gf also complained the whole time that her tofu tasted like chicken and salmon. On the bright side, their cashier though was super nice! |

the food was very veg-friendly and yummy but the smell of the grill they use for meat was incredibly strong and made me nauseous. maybe it was just that day . . . |

Cafe Zia seems to use one grill for all dishes. In addition, my last visit there, my friend ordered a vegan wrap and was served something with beef inside. Luckily, he discovered it before eating. When we returned to the restaraunt to ask for a new wrap, we were given a big hassle and told that beef was what we had ordered. We'll never eat there again. |

I went back to Zia a few months back and things had changed. They are using styrofoam plates now, plastic utensils and plastic cups. I'm so sad as this was one of my favorite places. The food quality has suffered. The Adams location is still not open but I hope the quality of the new location reflects the Zia of old. *sigh* |

So about the meat being cooked on the same area...understandable, that is why the new location (adams ave to be open soon) has 2 grills, one vegi only and one for meat.......go there you will never find anywhere else like it! |

Khaled has recently changed the name of his place but the food remains fresh and the quality constistant. Khaled believes in deep thought, exchange of ideas, and great, healthy food at a fair price. He will not sell anything that he would not eat himself. He is a friend and a mentor. This is the sort of positive, local business that we should all be supporting. Good for the belly, good for the soul!
Thank you Khaled! |

the parking lot is small, but you can park just across the street at the grocery store to the north. Their wraps are really good and their chutney sauce is unbelieveable. Together they make a yummy, healthy meal with vegan options that's ready in no time at all. |

Beyond the good food, what's really cool about Cafe Zia's is just how sincere and hard working the owner is. It seems everyone in the college area knows him. Do yourself a favor and get over to Cafe Zia's for something different and tasty. |
