" The food at Zaitooni Deli is consistently amazing! My friends and I often get carry-out from here and love everything we have tried. The hummus is incredibly rich and the baklava is a must-have. Don’t forget to ask for the spicy sauce with your meals; it adds a fantastic kick. The owners are incredibly accommodating and friendly, making our experience even better.

" I visited Zaitooni Deli after hearing so much about it from friends, and it didn’t disappoint. The decor is modest, but the food more than makes up for it. I tried the lentil soup as a starter, which was hearty and full of flavor; it was especially comforting on a chilly day. For my main course, I ordered the mixed platter which comes with an assortment of items. Everything was fresh, and the chicken skewers were grilled to perfection. My only complaint would be that the place gets quite busy, but the friendly owners do a good job keeping up with the orders. Overall, great experience and I will certainly be coming back soon!

" I find Zaitooni Deli to be a lovely hidden gem in the city. The ambiance is not what a fancy restaurant would offer, but it’s very cozy and authentic. I particularly enjoyed the grilled chicken salad, which was fresh, flavorful and filled with delightful spices. I do worry about finding a seat during busy hours since the space is quite small, but that’s just a sign that the food is popular. I plan to return again soon.

" Zaitooni Deli is a little bit of heaven on earth. I enjoyed the grape leaves and they were stuffed perfectly. The flavors are true to Lebanese cuisine and every bite was a treat.
