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.
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!
amazing restaurant with auhtentic & DELICIOUS Lebanese food, the manager is also super nice & the employees have a great service!!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
One of the best saj mixed wraps I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious. I almost went to the AYCE sushi restaurant next door but decided I'd try Zaytouni instead & I'm so glad that I changed my mind. It smelled amazing when I walked in, & I knew I made the right decision. The person working was so nice & asked if I wanted my sandwich toasted & I said yes & it was perfection. So much flavour, the meat was not dry & seasoned perfectly, it wasn't drowning in garlic sauce & was filled appropriately. I recommended it to atleast 4 people after I left. I also ordered a fattouche salad which was tasty but I preferred the sandwich more. Highly recommend!

Zaytouni is one of the best Lebanese restaurants I've ever tried. The food is always fresh & delicious , you can really taste the quality in every bite. Whether it's the shawarma sandwich, the hummus/garlic sauce, or their amazing plates, everything is packed with authentic flavor.
The portions are generous, the service is friendly, & the ambiance is warm & welcoming. The restaurant is also always super clean. It truly feels like a taste of Lebanon close to home.
I highly recommend Zaytouni to anyone looking for real, high-quality Lebanese food!
