Review of Zaytun Mediterranean Grill

I would liken Zaytun to a burger joint with Mediterranean food. As you walk in you are able to select your own table, we chose one in a quiet corner as we were toting an 18 month old and a 3 yr old. We were quickly brought a high chair but they do not have booster seats, so my son made due sitting on his knees. Our waitress brought over the menu, which I wouldn’t doubt doubles as the take-out menu as well. The selection of food is not varied, hummus, baba ghanouj, fries and gyros (remember, Mediterranean burger joint). Menu prices range from $6-10 but you do get dinged $.80 per special topping (basic toppings are free).

My kids enjoyed eating something different, my husband and I enjoyed being out, and the noise level of the place didn’t make my son or daughter stick out as they squealed for one reason or another. There are a few things to know before you take a trip out: 1) the bathrooms are tiny and there isn’t space to change a diaper if necessary. 2) There are two parking spots next to the restaurant so depend on parking on the street, we were able to find a spot a block for the restaurant. 3) Though we did not indulge, beer and wine are available with your meal.
