The Good Stuff
Good manakish
The manakish kept a soft centre and lightly crisp edges, making it a dependable takeaway choice.
Outdoor seating
The outdoor area is repeatedly described as a pleasant setting for catching up or having dinner.
Family friendly
Kids get a menu and colouring activity, while quick service helps keep meals manageable after activities.
Helpful service
Several visits mention welcoming, accommodating staff and fast, efficient service.
Breakfast option
The “Egg your way” breakfast can be customised with additional ingredients.
Reliable routine
One regular says the food remains fresh and consistent across weekly visits and over several years.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check payment. Review the scan-and-pay total carefully because one customer reported an automatic 7% tip.
Declare Entertainer. If using Entertainer, mention it before sitting and confirm which qualifying item is being discounted.
Check orders. For takeaway, check sauces and other small extras before leaving; one order missed a sauce.
Try outdoors. For a catch-up or quieter meal, ask about the outdoor seating, which reviewers particularly enjoyed.
Choose manakish. Manakish travels well: one takeaway review found it soft inside with lightly crisp edges when eaten at home.

The Bottom Line
Zaatar w Zeit at The Springs Souq is a casual Lebanese restaurant for manakish, wraps, breakfast and family meals. The menu suits a quick lunch or takeaway: reviewers specifically mention the kafta in a wrap, fresh manakish, chicken shawarma and the customisable “Egg your way” breakfast. The food was ready almost exactly when promised in one takeaway visit, and the wraps were tightly folded and easy to eat.
Families have plenty of practical reasons to come. There is a kids menu, colouring activity and generally quick service, which works well after children’s activities nearby. The outdoor seating gets particular praise for catch-ups and relaxed meals, while other reviews describe the branch as quiet and cosy.
Staff are often described as warm, helpful and accommodating, although one family reported being ignored on arrival, so service is not flawless every time. Value and consistency need a little caution. Several customers felt meat or filling was sparse, including a chicken shawarma with very little chicken and wraps that were mostly bread.
Delivery packaging has also been criticised for squashing wraps. Check the scan-and-pay total for an automatically added 7% tip, and clarify Entertainer terms before ordering. Prices mentioned include wraps around 30–50 AED, fries at 19 AED and an Angus burger at 44 AED.
