You can order off menu but it's set up as an all you can eat buffet. Pros: it's an all you can eat buffet. Cons: it's an all you can eat buffet. Food is good, decent variety. Owner is very nice.

They have a great buffet today. We did not use the buffet. We had two bowls of lentil soup and a side of hummus was all fresh with Syrian bread and they serve the pita chips as well and extremely tasty. Love the atmosphere quick service extremely clean prices are very good. A terrific dining experience when we go to Clinton we always like to stop in

The best around. Such warm and kind service. The food is wonderful and warms my soul, bursting with flavor. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. In the past I have dined in and ordered the Turkish coffee and have had it served from the owner’s family silver coffee/tea set. My favorite is the shish keta plate and babaganoush although everything is delicious. This time I ordered a variety of dishes for my family and I. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

This place deserves more attention. We came as a group of four and ordered falafel, eggplant, two types of kibbeh, and a family kabab platter over biryani that comes with different types of dips like hummus and baba ghannouj. Portions were large, we took home 4 leftover boxes. Everything tasted fresh, like a homemade meal. It is rare to find food that needs no adjustments. Every item had balanced seasoning and a memorable flavor.
The kitchen is open and spotless. The owner serves the food himself and treats you like a guest in his home, not just another customer. The atmosphere is quiet, humble, and genuine. It’s the kind of spot you recommend to friends right away.
Price was about $40 per person for all that food, plus tea and three desserts, which is hard to find here. If you’re looking for real middle eastern cooking, this is the place to go. It’s a hidden gem!

I visited Zaytoon on a Sunday night. They were so friendly and welcoming. They are able to do the buffet to go. They give you a to go box and you fill it up and they weigh it. The staff asked if I had any questions about the buffet, and I told them I was vegan. He then just followed me right up to the buffet and went through all the items that were vegan-there were a TON! All super fresh, healthy, and flavorful. I will definitely return here. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-21
We stopped by Zaytoon after a day of apple picking at a nearby farm. They offer a $22 buffet that is full of delicious options to try. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!
While there are several dishes that were tasty and full of flavor, the kibbeh and lamb were my favorite.
They are a family owned establishment that offers meals that feel home-cooked. The warm customer service made the whole experience feel like home. The family is also from Iraq, which may make this one of the few Iraqi restaurants in Massachusetts!

This place is amazing. Great authentic buffet food (except for the hummus) for 22$ per person. The Kibbeh might be the best I've ever had. The seller is wonderful and the vibe is on point. There's a generous selection of meats (there was even a salmon fillet when we were here). Overall, the place looks, tastes and feels very much like the middle east. I highly recommend it!!
Also, the mango ice cream is made with real mango!

Zaytoon offers delicious food and the weekend buffet allows you to sample it all. Nourishment at the end of a long week, a great way to start the new one. The owners are very nice and they make beautiful desserts, too. Can't miss.
