I’ve been here a few times since it opened and its always delicious. Today was Valentines day and it was a friendly cozy place to spend the evening. We got the Chicken Shawarma plate, Syrian fries wrap, and a Olive and Mushroom Pizza. Everything was so good and the service is quick. Definitely going back again and I fully reccomend coming here.

We love this place. Despite being a fan of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, I had never heard of some of the dishes here before. This was actually the first place I learned about Sujuk, a ground beef mixed with spices dish. It was really good and not a very heavy meal despite its large appearance. So good in fact that I came back here for my birthday dinner. The chef/owner noticed we were taking pictures so he gave us extra special treatment to make the Sujuk sandwiches look nice.
I went here per the recommendation of my coworker and it was one of the best decisions ever. My wife also told me that if we’re to do Middle Eastern again, we should come back here. My dad, who is usually picky about food, was very satisfied selecting this restaurant for my birthday celebration as well.

So delicious! We got chicken shawarma and cheese manakish and both were excellent. The owner is also very welcoming and friendly, and helped us navigate the menu. The place has several tables and a bar for dine-in orders. Our takeout order was nicely packaged. Will definitely come back to try more stuff!

The food here is so good, I got the chicken Shawarma (only 9.99!!) and the fatayer bites which are like mini pizzas. everything was outstanding in taste and very affordable for someone who has jury duty and has to go out and buy lunch every single day. Definitely coming back here, the owner is super nice.

Had lunch here for the first time and it was DELICIOUS!!! The owner is so kind and helpful, I had the chicken shawarma plate, “Syrian style,” and the flavors of the meal were amazing!! Also had the baba ganoush which was great. Got to try a piece of the special pizza with the homemade cheese as well which was really yummy. My friend had the falafel plate which also looked so good. So happy I tried this place. Will definitely be back!

IDK if this place is ran by the same guys that had Lebanese Oven, but I enjoyed it just as much. The food tastes fresh and meticulously well made like they actually care about the quality of their food. I always enjoy trying new things so I had the honey Minakesh with the Chicken shawarma and they both were delicious. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu!

I was craving some chicken shwarma and Zaytouna Bites sure came through! Soooo good!! So good, in fact, I came back for more the next day. The garlic sauce is the best. Next time I’m going to order extra. Prices are great as well. Definitely putting this on my regular take out schedule

I’m familiar with Arabic food, and definitely I can say that it’s amazing, delicious and it’s taste authentic. Guys, I have been in Saudi Arabia for 2 years I know what I’m taking about. I highly recommend this restaurant! Ask there about varaga enab. You would like it. It’s something like Greece dolma, but in my opinion it’s better!!!

The food is top-tier. One reason for my five star review is The friendliness of Albert. The atmosphere is simple here, low key, a good place for family during the week. You don’t feel like they are rushing to get you out.

Zaytouna Bites is hands down one of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve ever been to! Every bite instantly took me back home — the flavors, the spices, the freshness — it all felt so authentic and full of heart. The sandwiches are absolutely massive and packed with flavor; the kind of food you remember long after you’ve finished eating. You can taste the love and tradition in every bite. If you’re craving real Lebanese comfort food, this is the place to go.
