Food and service excellent, staff very pleasant, decor very attractive. But the noise level, when restaurant is crowded, very loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation.

I have been to Zaytoon now twice, and have not been disappointed! The drinks are a little overpriced, but the food is really top notch and I loved it! I plan to try something new every time I go. This last time I had the beet salad with falafel as the addition, which was yummy. We had the fried cauliflower as an hors d'heuvres and it'll be hard not to order that again. Last time I had the brussel sprouts and the hors d'heuvres plate that featured lots of things (can't remember the name) and that was such a big dish that my friend and I never made it past those two things. The service is exceptional, and the vibe of the place great. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would definitely be a regular!!

We love Zaytoon but the indoor acoustics are painful, even when the restaurant is not full. I see panels on the walls and ceiling but it's not enough treatment. That said, the food is consistently delicious and our service was almost too attentive.

Very delicious and reasonably priced Middle Eastern cuisine for your friends and family get together!! Beef and chicken kabobs are so juicy, tender and flavorful…….the expertly grilled, marinated wonders pair well with their house “G” Cab and Temescal Pilsner on tap. Super friendly and attentive service by Andrea and Nimo!!

It was way too noisy to have a conversation with fellow diners. We were seated way in the back of the restaurant even though we had a reservation and there were plenty of open tables up front. The food was very average.
