zaytoni

the staff are unprofessional, the seating area is crowded and the seats are uncomfortable. the food portions are ridiculous and overpriced.

we visited for lunch , at this point restaurant wasn't particular busy. we ordered drinks and they took 15 minutes to arrive with the waiter having to ask us a second time for our order. food service was very slow, there was a mix up with food orders and we were served the order in which the table next to us had ordered. it took 45 minutes for our order to arrive!
the positives are the location and nice view over jumeirah beach road. restaurant itself is very nice and spacious. in regards to food, no complaints, very delicious and good portions. i would be happy to return to zaytoni, but hope the service will be improving on my next visit.

cruising around umm suqeim, and seeing cars pull up to this place made me curious of his offering.

pulled up afternoon for lunch, the place had a couple of tables occupied, sat in the smoking section. got a shisha to begin with since its half off during afternoon.

the place is well decorated and modern, i like the design and seating. could be for a date or gathering too. a casual meal.

took a bit to decide what to get.
order included: hummos with meat, vine leaves, spicy potatoes, 2x fatoosh, cheese rolls, chicken shawarma, 3 zaytoni grills.

hummos with meat is great, the taste is smooth and well done. recommended.

vine leaves are average, bit soaked with oil, however still passable.

spicy potatoes are cooked fresh and hot, portion isn't much though. could have more in the plate.

cheese rolls these are great. i'm not sure if homemade or bought but they cheesy and crispy.

chicken shawarma this probably was the best item ordered. the quantity is great, filled with chicken and the bread is toasted. the sauce is very good in amount and the garlic on the side is great, authentic garlic taste. the fries are good too.

zaytoni grills: i ordered 3 of them but was disappointed since they came in one dish combined and the skewers weren't enough or as they would be if they divided the 3 grills into individual plates.
moving into taste, the chicken is tender and juicy, meat is average, the marination or seasoning could be better, the lambchops were the best out of the grills, cooked perfectly and melted off the bone. they were tender and tasty.

the shisha is tasty, the tobacco used is of good quality, the nara guy kept passing by constantly since also there was only like 5-6 tables occupied with shishas.

as for the service i didn't like it much since the waiter was involved a lot with our discussion and if he heard us talking about something he will chime in and give his opinions. privacy wasn't there. i noticed that through a couple of visits +4 and not based on one. some people might enjoy this but i prefer to have a barrier between the guests and staff, specially in personal discussions, avoid standing next to the tables.

would i repeat my visit? probably yes but there are better options imo for arabic food, taste and service.. depends on the occasion and guests you with. prices are average for the location. comparable to other restaurants.

parking isn't very spacious however valet is there, so no worries about that.

i like everything of this place. ambience is cosy and simple, still stylish. service is excellent and staff is very kind. food is amazing for both quality and variety of selections on the menu. it clearly shows its armenian roots. definitively recommended.

enjoyed our time here. food came fairly fast and was good. the shish kabob was a bit over done and the lemon with mint was nearly tasteless. the rest of the food was delicious especially the mezza. sheesha was good but had trouble every time we requested more charcoal.

i love this place so much. it is so quiet and good to clear your mind.the decoration and the design are so relaxing .the restaurant is lebanese and armanian .i've been there for a breakfast buffet. the food was so amazing, a variety of yummy dishes especially the falafel 😍i was so excited to try it ,but it really was tastey.many kinds of hot dishes and tempting appetizers for breakfast sure..i really like it,and the prices are so affordable especially the buffet, so nice price.

lebanese cuisine in the heart of jumeirah road serving very good cold and hot mezza and mixed grill. my favorite is the dessert section which is the kunafa it’s crunchy and the cheese tastes just right. highly recommended

one of the worse place to order from order was delayed like 35 mins nd food was cold nd very poor service by delivery never ever gona order again from this place

a decent restaurant to have arabic food in dubai with promising service and ambience

i ordered american chicken and watermelon juice. american chicken was a bit spicy as mentioned by server and watermelon juice was fresh. my cousins ordered dishes of their choice. over all, we felt that the food was tasty and hygienic. no one had complaints.

staff were attentive, properly mannered and dressed elegantly which matched the locality where the restaurant is. i can say that the service was better than the way i expected it to be.

ambience was top notch. prices are decent for the service and food they offer.

overall, its a good fine dine arabic restaurant to visit in dubai. i will recommend this to someone who wants to visit a decent restaurant with their family.

and if there is more than 5 stars i will give to this restaurant, their weekend breakfast open buffet just amazing , staff are very friendly and nice performance , love every thing on the buffet , just need to change the eggplant fata and replace it with chickpeas fata which will be more nicer for breakfast, highly recommended place to try . well done and please don't change keep this quality

my first arabic breakfast and had many different dishes which i enjoyed alot, enjoyed tasting all the different dishes which were freshly prepared.

excellent restaurant when you eat there. delivery is not the same where mean and side dish do not come in abundance. they should value more their delivery customers

visited zaytoni. restaurant for breakfast with my family and parents and all of us agreed that it was great experience and delicious food
service was very good
their staff are friendly and welcoming
this is our second visit to zaytoni as we came here before for dinner with shisha

average restaurant with mediocre food and service. the only nice thing was the decor and location besides that the store and staff need a lot of improvement. there are many other arabic choices close by so would prefer to go there instead.
