I stopped in for lunch for a quick bite and found far more than I expected. I ordered a schwarma plate and a side (a name I cannot possibly spell correctly). Everything was fresh, tasty, and beautiful. Far more than I expected. The engaging staff was a nice plus and not something I really expected. Whole-heartedly recommend this as an option for the good people of Irving. EVen worth the short ride from Dallas.

The food was so delicious. My dad ordered a lamb gyro it was one of the best in the metroplex. I ordered the chicken shawarma rice bowl and it was phenomenal. I was craving some pita chips to go along with my bowl, the owner/manager (not sure) made some just for me. They were so delicious!! We finished them all. The service was excellent, thank you zeytin for having awesome customer service and amazing food.

Our food tasted excellent and the staff was very friendly. The salmon we ordered had charred skin which we aren’t used to so we asked for another, by the time the replacement came, we were so hungry that we ate what we could from the grilled salmon. They sent 2 full plates to replace the salmon we complained about and the chef even came out to explain to us that the way the salmon is grilled they let the skin burn cos no one eats the skin. Our friends even said they would come again, all the way from Frisco because the food was so yummy and they impressed by the service.

What a wonderful plant based meal and experience! Started with delicious pitas and lentil soup and hummus. Then falafel plate with seasoned vegetables. Turkish coffee and assorted out of this world desserts! Go try this place!

Atmosphere is nice. Good food. We ate falafel, Shish Kebab and Kunefe, all are good. We tried their Sigara Borek, didn’t like this one much. Girl who served us was really sweet and welcoming.

Our best Mediterranean experience in Dallas since 2015. We may have had similar or even better food from a couple of other places but the service here was unparalleled. Our servers weee very friendly, knowledgeable, and served us all through our dining experience with utmost precision. All entrees were laid out impeccably and all items were worth the price. There’s nothing we could say negative about tonight. Even the bathrooms were neat and tidy.

Absolutely delicious food and great service! Kind, funny, and hospitable! We come to Irving once a year for work and I'm already looking forward to eating here next year! We had the dolma and falafel for appetizers. Iskendar kebap and Hunkar Begendi for entrees with a shepherd salad!

Went here today for a team lunch. Lunch specials were a great price. I had a lamb gyro combo (includes fries & drink). There was no waitstaff and we were expecting to be waited on. We ordered at counter and food was brought to our table. Friendly service. Food was good. Tasted fresh. I enjoyed the baba ganoush. Saffron rice was really good.

Tried the gyro wrap combo that came with fries and a drink for lunch. This wrap is a giant, like the size of a burrito named after a type of pepper. There is a lot of meat, and just the right amount of sauce, onion and tomato on it. The pita was warm, soft and fluffy and had a slight chargrilled taste that makes it very good. The fries were a miss, they were served cold and soggy and did not have any flavor so I discarded them. I’d recommend some seasoning, sea salt or maybe substituting rice or chips instead. The hummus appetizer is very good and comes with three pieces of thin, crispy pita that they bake themselves in house. I ordered an additional side of tzatziki sauce and the one I received was heavy on the dill and lemon flavor. It did not allow the cucumber to shine through. I know there are regional variations and this was good though, but did not taste the same as what was on my gyro. That’s ok, I think it would have overpowered the feta flavor that was on my gyro. I’d recommend this spot for lunch. A wrap, side and to go drink was $13.

First time visit, was there with my family. Celebrating birthday. Atmosphere was good, food presentation was good, service was great, but food itself was Not good. We ordered several different dinner items, meat quality was horrible. Dry and does not have any flavor.

Solid 3.5 overall. Food was good, service was good. Atmosphere was nice. Really like the brick oven and the bread coming out of it. The hummus with meat was decent, but coated in lots of oil.

Everything about this spot feels half-baked. From the interior design to the food. The best redeeming quality is the friendliness and standards for service. Before i say what could be improved, i will add that i wouldnt recommend this place for any occasion other than affordable takeout to satisfy a craving. Food: Some dishes are definitely better than others, but Turkish street food disguised as elevated fancy dishes is a disservice, honestly. Presentation was beautiful, but attention to detail in the taste and preparation was low. Tomato sauce lacked depth or excitement that it was presented to possess. Yogurt sauce lacked the herbal zing that Elevated Mediterranean sauces are known for! The tomato+cucumber was too modest in portion. And the grilled tomato+zucchini feels inauthentic for a few dishes.. The “saffron” rice feels watered down and without resonance of herbs or flavor. The naan/pita bread was alright and fresh, probably, but is too modest in portion if its hand made. The doner and meats are overall a bit salty for my tastes, and lack the beauty of fresh, juicy cut meat. Imagine eating reheated meat from a street food vendor in Turkey!! Not accusing but its what it tastes like in some dishes.. Lastly, the radish is lovely but string radish as long as ramen noodles is silly. I shouldnt have to twirl the radish around my fork to then pick up rice, fruit, and meat. Its a lot of excess work to enjoy a quick bite. Its a fun addition in theory, but practicality is the nature of Turkish foods in my opinion. I should be able to combine each element of a dish in a single bite in a comfortable and consistent fashion. For the owner: Aim for elevated dining or quick street food, and separate or refine your menu accordingly. Be consistent for the experience and expectations of your guests.. INTERIOR: I genuinely enjoy the ambience of the dine-in experience, some refined music playing softly or even jazz wouldve been nice to eat with.. but the decor is nice at least. Its a beautiful and comfortable seating. My only qualm is the feng shui.. too many tables and too cramped. Its seating for a sloppy diner yet masquerading as a fine eatery. Inconsistency in design is poor taste. Be consistent and the target audience can be happy always, but inconsistency makes for an awkward experience.

This was the third time we have been to Zeytin and both other times the food was great but this time was a sore disappointment. We had a party of 6 at 5:30p today,(Saturday) and we were the only party there for the first 20 mins of our meal, and 3 of our 6 dishes were cold (they should have been warm). The meat was tougher than usual and my partner's salad tasted freezer burned. I was upset because this was the first time I'd taken my extended family there. Unfortunately we won't be back.

Wasn't impressed. To make what could be a long review simple. Was walking distance from my hotel, so super convenient for me. It was dead in here, and should be it was a Sunday night at 8 pm. But you'd figure you would have some nice food? Right? Ordered the hummus plate to start and it was really forgetful. Pita was dry and not great. The hummus itself was very forgetful and I feel immediately after this was splaced my main course showed up. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Space them out a little. What's the rush? I was literally one of 3 people in the restaurant. The meat from my gyro plate was very dry. You eat with your eyes and it wasn't appetizing. Overall, maybe it was an off night. But I don't think I'll come back even if it was an off night.

I got shocked 😮 I have tried thousands of restaurants in my life and when I saw the reviews I thought it would be super amazing I tried falafel and it’s 3/10 or less!! I tried Zigara borek it’s 6/10 Baba ghanoug 3/10 Mixed grill 4/10 Bread 2/10 Soda drink 10/10 We paid 80$ for that food that you can’t eat! Also there was a pink moldy pickle that smells and taste acidifier very old I don’t know how they didn’t throw it in trash?!! We couldn’t complete the food as usual because the bad taste And they have only one girl working on around 4-6 tables!! All by herself and that’s why she can’t be fast to help.. I usually try to support restaurants with reviews but unfortunately I got shocked here and I will never ever come back 💔
