From international favorites to Levantine classics, every dish at Zaytuna is prepared fresh and served with generous, unhurried hospitality.
WHY US
Why Choose Zaytouna
Made From Scratch
Our mezze — hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh — is prepared fresh each morning, never pre-made or frozen.
Charcoal Grilled
Shish taouk, kafta and lamb chops finished over real charcoal for authentic Lebanese smoke and char.
Family Style Hospitality
Every table is welcomed like family — generous portions, warm bread, and a table that's never rushed.
Specials
Chef's Signature Selections
The Zaytouna Mixed Grill
Shish taouk, lamb kafta and grilled chops — everything, all at once.
Our signature sharing platter brings together char-grilled shish taouk, hand-formed lamb kafta and marinated lamb chops, served over saffron rice with garlic toum, grilled tomato and warm bread. Built for the table, not the plate.
Friday Night Mezze Spread
Ten mezze, one table, zero rush.
Every Friday we set the table the way it happens at home — hummus, moutabal, warak enab, kibbeh, cheese rakakat and more, arriving in waves for the whole table to share, family-style.
Sayadieh — Fisherman’s Rice
Caramelized-onion rice under fresh grilled fish, a coastal Lebanon classic.
Slow-cooked rice built on a base of deeply caramelized onions and fish stock, topped with grilled catch of the day and toasted almonds — a dish born on the Beirut and Saida waterfronts.
Zaytouna Vegetarian Feast
Everything green (and gold) on the menu, in one spread.
Hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh, fattoush, warak enab and sautéed seasonal vegetables — a fully plant-based mezze spread that still leaves the table full and happy.
Kunafa Night — Dessert Table
Warm kunafa, baklava and Lebanese coffee to finish the evening properly.
Thursday and Saturday evenings close with a dessert table built around warm kunafa straight from the tray, alongside baklava, maamoul and Lebanese coffee.
