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!
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.

Zaytouni is a great spot. The chicken shawarma on saj bread made crispy is unreal. Super flavourful & crunchy on the outside/juicy inside. Definitely a must order.
The owner is a super cool guy who will remember you on subsequent visits 👌
First time trying this place. The reviews are spot on. The crispy shawarma, was the best wrap I've had. The baklava is up there as well. Friendly service & quick, given the huge order they were working on.
Absolutely the best Shawarma sandwich I've ever had. But if the food is not enough to keep you coming back the owner, Tony surely will be. He's an absolute gem.

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.
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 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
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!
