    Zaytinya is a true gem! I recently dined again there and was blown away by the incredible flavors and attentive service. I tried the octopus, which was perfectly cooked—tender and infused with a delightful blend of spices. The kabobs were equally impressive, juicy, and packed with flavor. The ambiance is vibrant and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a meal with friends or a special occasion. Highly recommend Zaytinya for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!.

    I am recently diagnosed with celiac sensitivity and our server was so helpful with the separate menu and then explaining dishes too. He also brought my daughter out a candle for her dessert and we didn’t even tell him we were celebrating an early birthday. We think he saw her license when she was ordering a drink. Not sure but it was wonderful. The food was delicious too!
