" Zaytoon is one of those hidden gems! It's cozy, the ambiance is lively, and you truly feel like you’re soaking in the culture. I particularly enjoyed the falafel—they're made fresh and taste incredible. The service was attentive, but the wait for our entrees was longer than we anticipated. Still would visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience at Zaytoon! The setting was very romantic with gorgeous lighting throughout. The food was delicious - especially the falafel and garlic sauce, which I could eat every day! The staff were friendly and helpful but felt a bit rushed at times. Still, I highly recommend it for a special night out or celebration. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful dinner at Zaytoon! The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy with lovely décor. I personally enjoyed the hummus the most, accompanied by the warm pita. However, my friend's lamb was a bit overcooked. Despite that, we left with smiles and full stomachs. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loved dining at Zaytoon! The children adored the lemon chicken and enjoyed the pita with hummus. We had such a lovely time trying different dishes. The ambience was delightful, but the service lacked a bit of promptness, which lowered our otherwise great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying authentic Middle Eastern food and I was blown away. The variety in the menu is impressive! I particularly enjoyed the falafel—crispy on the outside and soft within. The atmosphere was perfect for our group gathering with lots of space and lovely lighting. Service was prompt but they seemed a bit overwhelmed that night. Overall, a great experience.

" 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*)
