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 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!
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.

Staff has hard of hearing. Told them a dozen times, Kids bol! & still got the wrong order! Rice is microwaved! & no potatoes! Customer service is terrible at best & food is meh. Go to basha on sources instead. Reply to their response. I expected a'bol pour enfant' for my kid, not you asking if i want added sides to it without telling me it wasn't included. Say it's extra & let me decide. & the blinking sign'Ouvert' means restaurant is open!
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!
Everything about this place is fantastic. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, polite & professional, & the restaurant is always extremely clean. I order from here regularly & always walk away satisfied.
