Things to Know

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant known for authentic flavors and generous portions, with a bright, welcoming atmosphere decorated with traditional Turkish glass lanterns.

When execution is on point, Zaytoon delivers genuinely flavorful, authentic Turkish dishes with attentive service, but consistency issues with food quality and timing are a real concern.

  • Generous portions at reasonable prices, with standout dishes like Turkish gyro plates, shawarma sandwiches with dill sauce, and kofta kabob
  • Baba ganoush appetizer is so good reviewers order extra to take home
  • Beautiful Turkish glass hanging lanterns and clean, bright atmosphere create a welcoming vibe
  • Friendly, fast, and attentive servers even during busy periods
  • Severe inconsistency: some orders arrive cold after long waits (nearly an hour), with dry, flavorless meat and burnt fries
  • Portion sizes and meat quality vary significantly between visits, with complaints of dried-out lamb skewers and undersized shawarma
  • Food can lack seasoning and flavor depth on off days, and staff responsiveness to complaints appears inconsistent

We really enjoyed our time at Zaytoon. My family went there for lunch. It was not busy at all for a Saturday. I got the Turkish gyro plate. It was plenty of food and very tasty. Prices were reasonable for the portions. We also got shawarma sandwiches that were very yummy with the dill sauce. Finished the meal with chocolate baklava. Server was friendly and attentive.

A friend & I met at Zaytoon’s for lunch, as we’d heard good things about this restaurant. It was all true! Clean, bright & decorated with beautiful Turkish glass hanging lanterns, the atmosphere was very welcoming! I didn’t get a picture of the baba ganoush appetizer at the beginning - I couldn’t wait to dig in! It was so good that I got another to take home to share with my family! We enjoyed our Greek salad with a side chicken shawarma plate & Kofta kabob on bulghur. I highly recommend you go enjoy multiple meals here! We’ll be back very soon

Came here excited to eat, food took almost an hour to come out. When it came out it came out cold. French fries came out burnt, the combo mix kabobs for $36 came out cold as well. The spicing is the worst i have ever had. Just cold flavorless meat. The lahmacun had no flavor and was also cold. Everything cost $86 and I regret every money spent here. The atmosphere is good but maybe they should work on their food and time management more. I did let the woman know but she didn’t say anything but look at me. Don’t waste your money on overpriced food!!!!

I’m amazed to find such authentic and delicious Turkish food here in the U.S.! The flavors were incredible. I tried the chicken kofta, and my friend ordered the sarma beyti — both were absolutely delicious. The server was fast, kind, and very attentive, even though the place was packed. You can really tell this restaurant is popular for a reason. I’ll definitely be coming back
