Zad Mediterranean is a neighborhood counter-service spot in Hoover serving Mediterranean and homemade Yemeni dishes made fresh to order. The kitchen turns out char-grilled kabobs — Zad Kabob in lamb or beef, chicken kabob in classic or lemon oregano — alongside shawarma plates, kafta, and mjadra built on lentils, cracked wheat, and olive oil.
Signature dishes include hand-rolled grape leaves, offered in lamb or vegetarian versions, and a tabbouli made with fresh parsley, tomatoes, onions, and cracked wheat tossed in lemon and olive oil. Falafel wraps and pita wraps round out a lunch-friendly menu, and the restaurant also handles catering for larger gatherings.
