Al-Zaytuna Grill - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The chicken shawarma was amazing! We both got it, one in sandwich form, the other a platter. We will definitely be back. The falafel app was wonderful too. Great, laid back dining space.

visiting Cincinnati and got recommended to eat here and I wish I knew of this place sooner. amazing food and amazing service!!! 😋 you should try the food here if you've never been!

The foods are good , best priced,healthy, clean and served in 15 minutes. The Environment is also excellent. Muslim people can pray here if they want . They have pray rugs and super clean bathrooms

Gyro salad was great. Portions size was large. Staff was friendly. This will be a new spot for me.

Smells amazing as soon as you walk in! Staff is amazing, food was too!

It was our first time trying this place. I must say the food is really good. The staff is super friendly such a cozy environment

Everything was AMAZING! The fries were hot and crisp, the lamb kabob was seasoned to perfection and the grilled chicken was juicy! We started with hummus, and it had the perfect flavor! One of the best meals we have had in a while!!! The service was great too!!!

Food was exceptionally delicious.

I travel for a living, and every time I come home, this is the 1st thing I get. I absolutely love this place. On doordash, it doesn't give you all the options, so I call up there, and they add it to the order. Very friendly people. Great food, and awesome service!!!!

Mansuf is my order always... call ahead.. it's awesome!!!

This place has good food and I enjoy going there. It makes me feel like I’m back at Palatine with all the decorations. The workers are very friendly and enjoyable to talk to. If I ever need to go somewhere to get a shawarma I will definitely go to Al-Zaytuna Grill.

The baklava is a must have, I’ve never had anything like it, it is absolutely the best. All I can say is that most of the time when I have baklava it is really sweet, but this one is like the perfect blend of ingredients where it just everything makes sense.

This restaurant is fantastic. The people were very friendly, the food was amazing, and the decor is lovely. We had hummus and pita, burgers, and chicken tenders. One of our favorite Halal restaurants anywhere.

best beef shawarma I’ve ever eaten, reminds me of Palestine

Food was delicious, service was wonderful and the atmosphere was welcoming. We will definitely visit again.

Falafel was great! Super crispy. Food and service are always consistent here.

I eat her all of the time! Super friendly staff and amazing food!

Easily the Best middle eastern restaurant ever great food 🤤 I tried the shawarma platter and cheeseburger with fries next level ,if you are looking for good halal food with affordable prices this is your restaurant 🇵🇸

Excellent menu! Vegetarian options! Everything is delicious and staff is friendly!

May Allah SWT feed those who have fed us, and provide drinks to those who provided us with it. Mashuallah, my husband and I enjoyed every moment and their hospitality. The food and the atmosphere was amazing. Thank you all! O Allaah, bless for them, that which You have provided them!

We wanted to try something new so we ordered the Falafel appetizer, a lamb meal and the chicken swarma platter. They all had great flavor but they gifted us some homemade baklava that was by far the best I've ever had. My only suggestion would be to have real dishes and real silverware for people who dine in. The plastic was not cutting the lamb, the paper plates are just not appealing and the lids didnt stay in the cups well. We will definitly be back to try more. This place is very nice inside too.

Oh my goodness this place is AMAZING. Best falafel sandwich I’ve ever had. Friendly folks. So glad I came in today!

Food is fantastic. Really nice, cozy space with a lot of nice plants. Generous portions. The shawarma with pickles is amazing, as is the baklava and hummus..

It’s very good restaurant I love it nice food and good service

Has a surprisingly local vibe for a chain. The food was excellent and healthy! Got the chicken kabob and would highly recommend it. Friendly people. Prices are average.

A restaurant with the best types of meals. I give it a million stars ❤️❤️

We ordered carryout, and it was ready as quoted. The food was delicious and traveled well. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has great decor. 1. Wings - these were prepared well, with great texture and crisp, and the seasonings were on point. (5/5 🌟) 2. Hummus - prepared well and the spices added to the flavors. (5/5 🌟) 3. Gyro - be prepared for a lot of food! The meat was falling off the pita, but great flavors and a little messy. (5/5 🌟) 4. Chicken Shawarma platter - the chicken was 🔥 and the accompanying sides paired nicely. (5/5 🌟) Overall, great food and friendly service. We will be adding it to our restaurant rotation.

Delightful, flavorful, fresh and fast. Grape leaves and hummus authentic and delicious Lamb kabob well seasoned. Reasonably priced

Very good customer service and very good food and very nice place

The falafels were amazing, the service was fabulous, the decor was stunning.

Great experience, wonderful food, very friendly staff. I would much prefer table service and real cutlery. I do recommend trying this place and I will return.

Usually place to go orders, but have dined in before. It’s got a nice feel to it. Most importantly the food is really good. Nice to see family owned places that can do well.

Great restaurant to stop by and have a nice meal. Food is affordable and flavorful. They have an honest and nice staff. Additionally, they also provide free gifts too. their burger and fries are good, however, the burger meat could have been a little better. overall this is a nice restaurant to take your friends and family to without breaking the bank. Comfortable seating options for various family sizes. The seats could’ve been a little bit more comfortable.

Exceptional service and even better food! We enjoyed our food & experience at Al zaytouna! Will be my #1 go to restaurant from now on:)

You don’t tell people you don’t have tables rude

It was great, the food taste great the workers help, my family had a great time !! I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

This restaurant is the best food ever. The service is immaculate and they made my family a beautiful dinner where we took up the whole place. Amazing! Thank you for your hard work

I had the best experience eating here for the third time , Their Food was AMAZING and Service was as great as well! You wont regret dining here !

What a great place. Great food. Nice staff. I am loyal for life.

Excellent atmosphere from start to finish. Great family owned restaurant! The food is very fresh & as authentic as I’ve ever been able to find in all of Dayton & Cincinnati. I highly recommend this place for a great meal.

I am convinced I will never find a middle eastern restaurant that is better than this in all of Cincinnati. The food was very authentic & very flavorful. Well seasoned & the portions are very generous. I recommend them highly & the team (whom is family owned & operated) goes above & beyond to make sure everyone has a 5-star experience when selecting them for a meal. Check them out- you won’t be disappointed!!!

The falafel, hummus, shawarma, & salads are top tier. I am addicted. This is the best of the best & we are lucky to have it near us. Go in- you will thank yourself every day.

I love their humus! It's so smooth and creamy with amazing flavor, 10 out of 10 for sure. My husband enjoyed the chicken wings and tonight he enjoyed the shwarma. I've recommended to some friends and I hope they check out their delicious cuisine.

We tried the feast for 2. We loved it. Hummus and baba ganush was so fresh and delicious. The variety of mixed grill meats and sides were very generous and yummy. Will be back. I want to try the falafel and tabbouli the next time.

The falafel in a pita. Excellent!

Delicious food, Palestinian-owned restaurant. Ordered falafel and the chicken shawarma sandwich, which were delicious with amazing authentic flavors. Loved the decor as well.

Everyone who works here is so friendly and sweet. The food is always delicious. I recommend the gyro (of course) and maybe ask for extra sauce, if you're a saucy girl like me lol the shish kebabs and stuffed grape leaves are also big favorites. They're a great business serving up great food and I definitely recommend trying them sometime ☆

I love this place eat here at minimum once a week u wont be dissapointed

We ordered takeout and the hummus was amazing as were the meats. I also really appreciated the staff for their care as I asked questions about items with dairy. We would definitely eat here again!

Lovely decor, polite and friendly staff, a relaxing atmosphere and delicious food!

pure miditerranean food, and super!

We had a little celebration there and it went very well. Good food, friendly staff

What matters is the food and the food here is fabulous !!!

The food was absolutely amazing!! The staff was very kind and explained the menu to us. I also loved looking at the different items hanging throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be back!

Their food is always so fresh and tasty! Everyone is also very friendly and the restaurant is clean with a lot of sitting area. I highly recommend to try!

The food is always really tasty, and well priced.

Great food, friendly staff. We will definitely go back.

I had such a delightful experience at Al-Zaytuna. Firstly, the overall ambiance of the restaurant is a 10/10 as it has a clean and simple aesthetic with such pretty decor. It creates such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Second, service was top-notch as they were so attentive and so friendly. Finally, the food was just outstanding. It was filled with so much flavor and enjoyed every bite of my food. If you're looking to have the best Arab food near Cincinnati, this is the place to go! I highly recommend and am looking forward to my next visit!

Super excellent quality outstanding

Me and my friend had brunch here and it was really good. The falafel was one of the best I’ve had and the sandwich was really filling, worth the price! The fries are sooo good. The staff is also really friendly, the service was a 10/10, and the decor was so pretty.

One of the best authentic Mediterranean restaurants. Loved the food.

Delicious Mediterranean food. Our favorites are the hummus special with chicken shwarma, the beef kabob platter, and the gyro Greek salad. My kids love their chicken tenders and the fries are tasty too. We usually order takeout but we've also dined in. The space is brightly lit and inviting. Bathrooms are always clean. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Really kind people and kid friendly.

Y’all please eat from here. The food is a bit more on the expensive side but like I so support amazing quality food that’s really unique and underrepresented. The workers here are so lovely and nice, the place is clean. Me and the fam have eaten here before and love how generous. Oh my goodness. The amount of meat they supplement the gyros with. Like yes. Like it’s legitimately one of the few things I’ve ever eaten where I’m like I would gladly pay 8$+ for this cause I swear every other gyro place always gives you the minimal amount of meat and this place is the complete opposite. Please please please support this place for everyone who sees this, they do such a great job and deserve it fully 100%.

super friendly and great food!!!!

It's one of the best halal foods you will ever taste in Cincinnati, especially when it's cooked by the Palestinian family. Every dish in the menu is yummy and lovely. Hence, we go there 3 times a week . The family that runs this restaurant are very professional and humble people . It was one of the best restaurants I have ever tried in my life . Excellent quality and service. Good job, Abo-Albaraa.

This place is the real deal! First, the people there are amazing and kind! They make you feel at home instantly! Second, the food is absolutely spectacular! We tried a little of everything, and you can't go wrong with any choice! Handicap accessible, and plenty of parking. Go and enjoy!

Stopped in for lunch. I had the Beef Shawarma Sandwich and it was really good. Basically, take Beef Shawarma and stuff it into a pita pocket. I liked the pickled red onions and the spices on the beef were good. I was also glad to see Pibb Extra as a fountain drink selection.

Outstanding food. Service was great too.

This is the best middle eastern restaurant in the area! I’m Palestinian and this food is definitely authentic and tastes just like the Arabic food I grew up having ❤️

Best mediterranean food in town! Great service too :D

I've never had a bad experience here. The best falafel and baklava I've ever had. The staff is always friendly and the food comes out quick.

It is the best place to have a home made food flavor. It is like the food that is cooked by the hand of your mother exactly. I am happy to be there and it will be not be the last. The owner is like a mom. It is a family based restaurant. Thanks Mom for the delicious food.

The best beef shawarma. They served it in a pita pocket instead of a wrap like all the other places, which made for eating on the road quite simple. The fries looks to be beer-batter fries.

First time today ..great food ..great service ...and reasonable prices ..loved it .. be back soon

The best experience ever in a Mediterranean restaurant! The owner Maha and her daughter Tellah were amazing! They were the perfect example of Palestinian hospitality! Her son in the kitchen did a great job as well! the food was excellent and the french fries were so good I didn’t even need to add ketchup. The decoration was nice and subtle, the atmosphere and welcoming were outstanding, it made us as feel home! Definitely recommend this place, and we’ll pass by when we come back to Cincinnati! Wish you the best Miss Maha for you and your family, we’ll keep you in our prayers!

The food and portions are amazing.

Food was so good & yummy with enough quantity ♥️♥️♥️

Always great food and even better staff. They are always so polite. Happy to support this local business!

It’s very clean and the food tastes really good

Styrofoam cup is not my first choice and small paper plates. Reusable would be okay but even plastic is better than styrofoam as far as strength and appearance. However that really is my only suggestion, the food was good came out fast the people were pleasant and I would get again.

Excellent in good, service and atmosphere! Soo delicious! Can’t say enough positive comments! The food is delicious! Made with love!

Seriously the best Mediterranean style food I've ever had! The kofta (my personal favorite) is incredible, the gyro meat is fresh and well seasoned, and their shawarma is top notch. The tzatziki sauce is always super fresh and delicious. You really can't go wrong! Something else that stands out but would normally not be worth mentioning is their fries. I know it seems weird to praise fries but they're perfectly fried every time with a wonderfully crispy texture on the outside. Don't miss out!

Just meh... The service & atmosphere are subpar at best. The food is delicious, but it's expensive, and I didn't like paying $60 to have a self-service soda machine with plastic utensils and paper plates. Felt like I was eating at a food court.

Fresh food. Excellent service. Clean and beautiful atmosphere. Will be back again.

Really tasty and a lot of options. The service is good also. Portions are quite generous.

Very thoughtfully designed and laid out. Food was delicious. Loved the fact that food was Halal and the washrooms were clean with water and handshower. Best stop over to eat and pray. I had a wonderful time with my family. Will definitely come back !

This place is incredible. I ordered the gyro for lunch and it was without a doubt the best one I’ve ever had. Like a symphony to the taste buds. Definitely coming back with my wife for a date night. Cannot speak highly enough of this place.

Fantastic middle eastern food and a very friendly staff

The gyro is Amazing! The meat is perfection. My son got the Chicken Shawarma and absolutely loved it.... Honestly, everything we've had here has been amazing. This is our third visit and many more to follow.

The food was delicious, The customer service is just amazing, the place is clean and so are the tables. The decorations are just beautiful. And so many beautiful plants

Words cannot express how much I LOVE this place, I've had the gyros, hummus, beef and chicken Shawarma and it is all SO GOOOD. Their fries are also amazing. I've only been inside once but I really love the atmosphere and it's vibe. The woman who handed me my take out was SO kind to me and her attitude was amazing.

Nice food flavor, good size portions and reasonable price. Fries are awesome. I liked them more than Chick-fil-A's.
