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.
❤? If it's good for Beirut ( second location )

Come hungry …. Please take the time to appreciate the potted olive saplings in the front of the store 🧿

Picked up a Shish Taouk crispy saj, & truly believe it to be the best I have ever tasted. Generous portions, very friendly staff, & chill atmosphere. I will 100% be coming back with my family next time.
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!
Ordered delivery & received the food over an hour late. It arrived cold & missing items. When I called the restaurant, they were not helpful & didn't offer a proper solution. Completely unacceptable service.

What a gem & hands down the best shawarma I've had anywhere in the world - period. Can't believe we have this spot in the West Island. The owner Tony is a passionate & super kind operator. Can't wait to go back.
Super delicious, real Lebanese food. Finally, some real shawarma. Best shawarma ever tasted in Montreal & Laval. Extra clean & fresh food & salads are served.
