The make-or-break test of a Mediterranean restaurant is its hummus. Zayna's distinction is the bright freshness of its ingredients. The velvety, rich taste of their hummus somehow makes itseem as if the garbanzo beans were picked, and the olive oil pressed, with this morning's sunrise. Such excellence in the basics should encourage diners to adventure beyond kebabs and gyros into Zayna's more ambitious offerings like shish tawook and the mujadara plate.
