Lebanese restaurant serving dishes from the Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisines including Shish Taouk, Shawarma, vegetarian and vegan options, salads and entrées.
Reviews describe Zaytouni as a standout for authentic Lebanese food with generous portions, fresh salads and a wide range of dishes from shawarma and saj wraps to hummus and garlic sauce, all praised for their vibrant flavors and quality ingredients. Diners frequently highlight the crispy, well seasoned shawarma, juicy chicken and the light, flaky wraps, with many calling it the best Lebanese fast food they have tried outside Lebanon; the salad bar and fattoush are also noted for freshness. The atmosphere is described as clean and welcoming with fast, friendly service and attentive staff, though a few experiences mention delivery delays, cold food and missing items along with less helpful responses, indicating occasional inconsistency. Overall the place is viewed as a go to spot, a West Island hidden gem offering great value and memorable flavors, especially for shawarma and saj sandwiches.
Ordered through Uber Eats. We tried the viral shawarma & found it overly sweet & not particularly noteworthy. The fattoush was disappointing, consisting mainly of cooked vegetables rather than the expected fresh components. The hummus was acceptable, but the baba ghanoush was very poor-runny in texture, resembling liquid yogurt, with an unpleasant taste. The tabbouleh was basic & unremarkable.
Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, & we will not be ordering again.
Votre kebee est immangeable. L'avez-vous au moins goûté avant de le vendre ? C'est du sel, du sel, du sel à l'infini… Ça a malheureusement fini à la poubelle.
en plus, votre shawarma est nul : 80 % de pain SAJ & 20 % de viande. Vous êtes cheap.
Première & dernière fois.
Je déconseille cet endroit.
One of the best Shawerma places in Mtl, I highly recommend this place. I had the crispy shawerma & it was really good the food was fresh & on point. The service was meticulous, even it is not a full service restaurant I was asked multiple time if everything is going well. Will for sure come back
I had an amazing experience at Zaytouni & it easily deserves 5 stars.
I tried their crispy shish taouk trio sandwich combo (comes with potatoes & a drink for $18.95), & it was absolutely delicious. What really sets them apart is their'crispy' option - they grill the sandwich so the pita gets perfectly toasted & crunchy, which takes it to another level.
The chicken was juicy & flavorful, & the texture from the crispy pita made every bite even better. But the real standout is their sauce - it has this unique taste thanks to their homemade pomegranate syrup, & it ties everything together so well.
Overall, super satisfying meal, great quality, & definitely something I'll be craving again. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
Went today for the first time. The crispy shawarma is fantastic. But what was the most refreshing was the warm & wonderful service, & the restaurant was immaculately clean. It really shows that they care & are proud. Will be going again soon. Thank you Zaytouni!
The viral crispy Shwarma is overhyped. It's just burnt saj bread. Shwarmamoods is much more authentic crispey shwarma. Otherwise the rest of the food is great.
