We went during the brunch hours and the entire dining experience was great as it was not crowded. The dishes were roundly commended by the group as delicious, high quality and well prepared. As I am thinking about it, there really wasn’t anything bad about anything. Our server(s) were really professional and often anticipated our needs. I can see why this place is well reviewed.

The atmosphere is very open, clean, and minimalistic. The service was great and the food was amazing! The hummus, the brussel sprouts, calamari, kebabs, etc were all so good! Highly recommended and I will be returning!

The food was very good especially the warm olives Zaytoon and the mazza platter. We had Fried Zahra and Mujaddara and liked it. The Kanafeh was delicious. The service and atmosphere were very good. We will be back again.

This place was voted as the best Mediterranean restaurant in the East Bay, and it sure deserved the name! The Arabic Cheese is a must-have - Lightly toasted soft and flavorful cheese with plenty of vegetables dressing. The hummus was also very tasty. It’s a great place to go if you want something light and delicious.

Zaytoon Mediterranean Restaurant is a true gem in the dining scene, offering a welcoming atmosphere and an exceptional culinary experience. The menu boasts a delightful array of Mediterranean delicacies, each dish bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. One standout is the lamb shawarma, which arrives tender and juicy, accompanied by fragrant rice, crisp salad, and creamy yogurt on the side. The portion size is incredibly generous, making it perfect for sharing with friends or family. Overall, Zaytoon Mediterranean Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience that satisfies both the palate and the soul. With its welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, huge portions, and friendly staff, it's no wonder it's a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Amazing Mediterranean restaurant ever. Sofisticated atmosphere inside/outdoor and outstanding dishes. Someone in this google map reviews said 'not a big portion comparing to others' but I would love to tell you all that it was so big enough that we had to give up ordering desserts. Fresh vegetables, not too salty but genuine taste -great for health. Staffs are also very nice.

Came here on a weekend early afternoon with family. Clean and plenty of space. The food was decent. The kofte burger was really good. The mint lemonade i didnt like but the strawberry one was great. Overall good place.

The food was decent overall. Some dishes were tasty, others just okay. They’ve changed the traditional style a bit, which can be hit or miss. It felt more healthy than flavorful. Worth trying if you’re into lighter, creative versions of classic dishes.

This is a great spot for casual dining. Sunday brunch also includes the full lunch menu. The food was mostly fresh, however, proportions can be small for those with bigger appetites. I suggest opting for salad instead of fries.

Went for dinner and service was great. The lamb dish was flavorful but I would have preferred the lamb kabob. I was trying something different but should have just got the kabob. Place has good ambience and I recommend this place.

Mezze platter served cold and pita bread were stale and not heated. Chicken rolls were flavorful and mansaf was alright. Seated next to the kitchen and as a result the smoke made it feel stuffy.

The staff asked the same questions over and over again and the food wasn’t good and well cooked. I sent my food back and they overcooked it 😂 I would not recommend this place for the price they charge. So don’t

I hate to give bad reviews, but this restaurant is crying for one. It has apparently been skating by on a vote of “best Mediterranean restaurant in the East Bay,” apparently by people who don’t know the cuisine. I wanted one thing on Father’s Day, stuffed grape leaves, a staple of Mediterranean cooking, worldwide. For $10 I was brought five small grape leaves, damaged when removed from the can they came out of, and then microwaved. When I asked the hostess/cashier where the grape leaves came from, she did not know. Service was abysmal by two different individuals. The “Greek Salad” was an amateurish mix of cut tomatoes with lettuce. More tomatoes than any other component. The Brussels sprouts, on the menu of any restaurant or bar in the USA, were precut food service items and overcooked by the kitchen. The Hummus Plate with chicken left us questioning the spicing which was lacking. When I asked what “Jerusalem Falafel” was, jalapeños were listed as an ingredient! $60 for completely forgettable food, actually embarrassing for a popular restaurant, but the cost cutting by the kitchen is filling the owner’s wallet. Do not go here! It will not let me leave a zero star review.
