Zaytoon Mediterranean Restaurant and Bar offers delicious food, a great wine list, and a welcoming ambiance. Customers consistently praise the generous portions and efficient service. The menu features traditional Middle Eastern dishes like Mazza Platter and Spanakopita, as well as flavorful options such as chicken roll and hummus. The interior design creates an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere, complemented by a nice vibe and a parklet for outdoor seating. While some find the music a bit loud, others appreciate the attention to detail in the decor. This neighborhood gem is relatively inexpensive compared to current restaurant prices and is almost always reliably delicious, although there have been occasional issues, like overcooked chicken kabob. While many guests enjoy the friendly staff and great food, some have noted that the restaurant can be significantly understaffed when busy, leading to subpar service. The plating of dishes has been criticized for being sloppy, and there are concerns about the quality of certain items, such as Moussaka, which has not been as good as it used to be. Despite these issues, Zaytoon remains a favorite spot for many, offering a diverse menu and a tasty meal, whether dining in or getting takeout for the family.
