" Finally made it to Zaytoon and it lived up to the hype! The place is charming and the food was incredible. We tried the lamb kebabs, which were juicy and well-seasoned. The only downside was that we had to wait longer than expected for our food, but the lovely atmosphere made it worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm so glad I chose Zaytoon for dinner! The outdoor patio was beautiful, and we were seated promptly. The service was attentive, though the food took a little while to arrive. Once it did though, everything was phenomenal—especially the mixed grill platter and special dips. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the atmosphere at Zaytoon, I found the food to be a bit overpriced for the quality. I had the salmon which was cooked well, but lacked seasoning. The service was attentive, and the place was very clean and romantic. I would consider returning for a drink and some appetizers, but I think the entrees need a bit more touch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Zaytoon last Saturday and it was absolutely lovely! The outdoor patio is stunning and the staff were very accommodating. I really enjoyed the lamb kebab; it was juicy and full of flavor, but I did wish for a little more sauce. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Zaytoon last weekend! The ambiance is really charming and inviting, with outdoor seating that is just perfect for a romantic night out. The food was good, especially the mixed mezze platter we ordered to share. However, the wait for our food was longer than we expected which was a downside. I'd still recommend for the atmosphere alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern food, Zaytoon won't disappoint. The atmosphere is cozy with lovely outdoor seating, and the food is full of flavor. I would give full marks if the service had been a little quicker, but overall it was a delightful dining experience and I will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaytoon has such a relaxing ambiance, particularly with the outdoor seating option and fire pits. It was a lovely surprise to have a belly dancer performing during our meal, which added a nice touch to the evening. The food was very good, but I did feel like we could have had a better variety of vegetarian options. Overall, great experience that I'll gladly repeat. " (*Curated Review*)
