out of 5 starsMy Review by rebeckal226071752 on 8/21/2013 via Citysearch
It's a little overpriced for the food in my opinion. I grew up in the middle east and you would assume that a restaurant with these prices would have some comparable food. Not the case in this case. I'd suggest going elsewhere for arabic…
My Review by kaylas106567202 on 7/8/2013 via Citysearch
Great combination of Greek, Turkish and Lebanese food. The ambiance is pleasant and the staff friendly. The portions are rather small, but who could complain with such delicious options. It is really like being in a Tapas place but with…
Great lunch spot by EFrost on 5/18/2010 via Citysearch
Zaytinya is a great lunch option if you happen to be in Penn Quarter around noon. It is also good for dinner, but the restaurant can get loud and the bill can add up pretty quickly. My favorite lunch option is the cerkez on toasted olive…
Great Tastes of the Mediterranean by Lisa Mathias on 5/17/2010 via Citysearch
If you've been to any of Jose Andres' restaurants in DC, then you know he'll deliver, even though Zaytinya breaks away from his usual Spanish flair. I've been here for brunch and for happy hour and loved both experiences. Their brunch…
Fantastic tapas by Adam Renz on 4/25/2010 via Citysearch
Seriously??? The delectable incredibleness that is Zaytinya is almost beyond words. YES! YES! YES! From the housemade phyllo, pitas, ice cream & sorbet (cherry & hazlenut were out favs) to the decor... the service... everything. An…

Beautiful atmosphere by Grace J. on 3/25/2006 via Judy's Book
Zaytinya is one of Jose Andres's restaurants which serves mezze, small plates of Greek/Middle Eastern food. The restaurant itself is stunning, with high ceilings, lots of glass, and white walls accented with candles. The bar is…
Zaytinya is great by indiarules26 on 3/22/2006 via Citysearch
This is the greatest restraunt I have ever eaten in, very good food, exellent service. However, the food does cost a lot, so be sure to bring lots of money. Also, dress nicely, it is very fancy and upper-class.
Looks wonderful, food could be better by Basant E. on 12/12/2005 via Judy's Book
The middle eastern restaurant itself looks gorgeous, and everything they serve looks gorgeous, but even I am middle eastern, and some of their cuisine is just not understandable. It's to wierd, they need to make it simpler and they need…
