- LLeilaGoldWashington, D.C. Area •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fantastic dining experience at Zaytinya! From the delicious food to the exceptional service, everything was outstanding. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, especially the baba ghanoush, labne, and smoked beet salad. And the endless supply of fresh, warm pita bread was such a treat! What truly made the evening special was the incredible hospitality. A special thank you to General Manager Ken McClain for making us feel so welcome, and to our amazing waiter, Manuel, who was exceptionally attentive, warm, and professional throughout the evening. His service was impeccable without ever being intrusive. Zaytinya gets it right on every level: fantastic food, a lively atmosphere, and genuinely outstanding hospitality. Can’t wait to return!More infoZaytinya - DC$$$$• Mediterranean• Penn Quarter•4.6
