Lebanese restaurant serving dishes from the Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisines including Shish Taouk, Shawarma, vegetarian and vegan options, salads and entrées.
Fans and first timers alike describe Zaytouni as a place with generous portions, fresh and flavorful Lebanese fare, and a standout crispy shawarma that many call the best they have had, along with juicy shish taouk, homemade sauces with strong garlic notes, and a pita that stays crisp when toasted. The experience is commonly marked by friendly, attentive service and a spotless, welcoming space, with several reviewers noting the owner and staff make everyone feel at home. While the majority praise the quality and value, a few criticisms arise about certain salads or dips not meeting expectations, and a handful of delivery orders arrive late or incomplete. Some guests also feel that the viral crispy shawarma can be overhyped compared with other offerings, but most leave satisfied and eager to return, making Zaytouni a frequent recommendation for authentic, abundant Lebanese plates and shareable platters in the area.
We had an amazing lunch at Zaytouni on the West Island. We ordered Pita mix Shish Taouk & Trio Shawarma, with coca-cola for the drinks. They made fresh in front of us, very tasty & meat was well cooked. The place is very clean, well organized. The staffs were nice & courteous. Next time when we will come to Montréal Island, will visit again to try something else.
Merci beaucoup
Tried the crispy Shawarma - was excellent! Super fresh, friendly staff, could not ask for better. I thought that parking lot would be a nightmare but parking was also easy to find. A+ experience!

Fantastic! Especially the'custom' sandwich. The chicken isn't dry & is seasoned perfectly, presentation is super, most importantly everything is fresh! Everyone needs to have the Saj sandwich. Go now!
A taste of Lebanon just a few minutes away! Not only because the food is delicious & fresh, but also because the service is friendly & warm just like back home.
The crispy shawarmas are insane! Definitely worth a try!
WOW wow, the viral crispy shawarma is heavenly 🤤🤤🤤, everything is so fresh . Yes the menu is the same as other Lebanese franchises but the quality is above & beyond.
We got the combo (pita, potatoes, & a drink) & it was fantastic from start to finish. Everything came out fresh, hot, & full of flavor.
The wrap itself had that perfect golden crunch on the outside, but still soft & loaded inside. The meat was juicy, tender, & super well-seasoned… but the chicken?? WOW. So flavorful, perfectly cooked, & honestly one of the best I've had, not dry at all, just melt-in-your-mouth good 🤤👏
& the potatoes on the side were the perfect addition, crispy, seasoned just right, & so addictive.
Every bite had the perfect mix, sauce, meat, & that slight char from the grill that just takes it to another level. You can tell everything is made fresh & with care.
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.

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
The food was absolutely delicious , the shawarma was perfectly seasoned, juicy, & full of flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh & the portions were very generous, If you're craving authentic & tasty shawarma, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back again

10/10 experience on all fronts. Amazing customer service, fresh & good quality food, & clean & well maintained space. This is why we keep coming back.'Absolutely stunning' is all I have to say!
Friendliest service & most incredible CRISPY shawarma - the hype is real! Our sandwiches (one chicken, one beef) were super tasty & servings were extremely generous… & the light, flakey & crispy wrap was next level! Can't forget to mention the generous serving of the potatoes with garlic sauce… if you know, you know! All their sides & salads looked so fresh & vibrant - we'll have to go back, that's for sure! Thank you for a great experience!
Super delicious, real Lebanese food. Finally, some real shawarma. Best shawarma ever tasted in Montreal & Laval. Extra clean & fresh food & salads are served.
I went at around 12:30 so no one was there. Service was fast & the food was incredible. The saj is filled to the brim with meat & the pickles are incredibly fresh. A West Island hidden gem, will definitely be back.
Fast & very friendly service as well as REALLY delicious fresh shawarma i highly recommend you try their crispy shawarma & Fried pita bowl & their beef marinade will hit you this is a very slept on location that deserves more love!
Food is unbelievably Fresh! I've experienced a lot of shawarma places but nothing this good & the variety is an experience in itself. The fresh salad bar is unreal & has options I've never seen elsewhere. ASK ABOUT THE SECRET MENU. I decided on the burger to change things up Quality is top notch & quantity…. Let's just say I'm not thinking about food when I leave. The owner & staff are super friendly & attentive. Great experience & will be back!
