A great option if you’re craving delicious Middle Eastern cuisine without breaking the bank. They have quite a few options including vegetarian dishes and the food is packed with flavour. The lamb ribs were fantastic with the right amount of spices. Highly recommend this! Nice appetizer and dessert options as well. Service could’ve been faster but it’s friendly.

The beef hummus was the star of our three dishes. Who would have thought to put ground beef over hummus. The accompanied pita was delicious. Musakhan rolls were very aromatic and delicious with yogurt. The Mfarakeh had less flavour but still quite enjoyable. We had Turkish coffee along with Kunafeh for dessert and what a pairing. We will definitely be back.

decided to try takeout here for the first time. Before ordering, I asked if the platters were worth the $25 price, and was assured the portions were generous. Unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. When I arrived at the scheduled pickup time, I still waited about 20 minutes. During that time, I wasn’t offered even a glass of water, and the tables available weren’t clean to sit at. As for the food, the platter was underwhelming—mostly rice and meat, with just two small plastic containers of hummus and garlic sauce. Not even a simple salad was included. For nearly $49 in total, it didn’t feel like great value. Again food was good just very disappointing portions for the price. I might give this place another try, but overall, my first experience was disappointing. Ordered: mix Platter, and falafel platter

An excellent spot for grabbing authentic Levantine food. The fattoush salad was excellent, with its molasses pomegranate dressing.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zaytun with a group of friends, and overall, the experience was a positive one. The service stood out right away — the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed throughout our visit. We tried a variety of dishes including kibbeh, baba ghanoush, shawarma wraps, a shared platter, and finished off with knafeh and karak tea. Each item was fresh, well-prepared, and full of authentic flavor. The kibbeh was crisp and flavorful, the baba ghanoush had just the right smoky richness, and the shawarma wraps were well-balanced and satisfying. The knafeh was a delightful end to the meal — warm, sweet, and perfectly textured — and the karak tea added a comforting touch. Service was polite and responsive, though we did need to ask a couple of times for the music to be turned down. It was quite loud, which made conversation difficult at times. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant and inviting, making it a nice spot for a casual get-together. However, one area that could use improvement is the washroom section. While the dining area was clean and comfortable, the washrooms appeared to need more attention in terms of cleanliness and upkeep. Overall, Zaytun delivers a flavorful and enjoyable experience with room to grow in certain areas. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine in a relaxed setting — and I look forward to returning.

Zaytoon is an amazing Middle Eastern restaurant that I recently had the pleasure of visiting. This restaurant offers a menu filled with delicious, authentic dishes (mainly from Jordan and Palestine) that are beautifully presented. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with friendly and hospitable service that made us feel welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, with warm lighting and a cozy ambiance that was perfect for a relaxed meal. They also have hookahs. The food at Zaytoon was simply amazing. We particularly enjoyed the hummus, the citrus arugula salad and the Kunafeh. Everything was so beautifully presented that we couldn't resist taking a few photos before diving in. The service at Zaytoon was excellent, with our server always on hand to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend Zaytoon to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The food is top-notch, the presentation is beautiful, and the service is hospitable and great!
