Zaytinya Washington Reviews
The food's got a tang I'll give you that.
Could appreciate it even on a bad date. I wish it had more protein but not everyone's on that wave so I guess it don't matter
Not what it used to be
Zaytinya has gone way downhill. This was one of our favorite places to to eat in D.C. We were on a 4 day trip here and it was to be one of the restaurant highlights but sadly it was not up to par. Too bad as we love Jose Andres. Firstly, the service

It's a swanky joint.
And the food is incredible. Anyone who brings me here is a new best friend.
We are coming back. !
The service was excellent. It would only surpass the food.! we did the chefs choice and the pairing of the wines! I would show you pictures of what we ate, but every time we dug into the food, we realized halfway through we forgot to take a picture!
I had high hopes for Zaytinya but left rather underwhelmed.
Starting with the good -- hummus and brussels were tasty and a supply of fresh bread is always a perk. The other dishes we tried, the chicken pasta and halloumi flatbread, were just kind of.. mediocre. The pasta especially tasted like it could have
It was incredible.
I had the lamb kebab or something. It was magnificent. I was transported through a thousand years of culture and evolution. It will be one of those meals Ill remember for long time.
Came for brunch and ordered the brunch prefix menu.
It was wonderful. The bread guy is the real mvp though. Very attentive and engaged with our kids and made sure they were having a good time. By far the most locked on person we interacted with. We also noticed this on our previous visit with the same

This restaraunt on the corner of a busy street is ideal for people watching and a good meal! We were seated off to the side of their front patio at a hightop and it was ideal. The food was like nothing I've had before (a blend of Greek/Lebanese/
Disappointing
Style over substance. Having read great reviews we had great expectations that unfortunately weren’t met. Food/flavours just didn’t work for us, at first we wondered if it was our choices, however we ordered six dishes and were underwhelmed by th

Stopped in for their happy hour which is only offered at their bar btw, and it was a very limited but incredibly affordable. It was a list of their pides and then a variety of drinks. I tried the soujouk, za'atar, and pastirma. My favorite was t

Took advantage of a precious extended restaurant week and finally tried out @zaytinya in @downtowndcbid and I think I have a new favorite @chefjoseandres restaurant! I may be coming back every single night for the shrimp in the most perfect dill and
Excellent food and prompt service
Very good food and service. It's crowded so you need a reservation, or you can sit at the bar, like we did. The bartender was very attentive and the food arrived very quickly. We shared the three dips (humus, tzatziki and babaganosh), Fattoush
Just superb.
Great food, amazing atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! Every single item was delicious.
An amazing restaurant
My husband made a reservation to celebrate my birthday a few days early while we were staying in DC overnight before a wedding in VA. We are definitely foodies and enjoy eating at great restaurants at home in NY and when we travel. We were blown awa
Our return visit to Zaytinya did not disappoint.
What stood out was the incredible staff Knowledgeable and willing to take the time to explain and educate me, who has very little experience with the Mediterranean dishes served here. Each dish was exceptional, our son and his girlfriend did all the
Came here to celebrate a birthday and got a reservation
Came here to celebrate a birthday and got a reservation through open table. It was very convenient and quick to get in and seated. The interior had good lighting, it was still daylight when we dined for dinner. We ordered a few different items inclu
Highly recommend the RoZAY Brunch.
Everything was delicious. Staff was attentive. Easy to get to on the Metro.
Food and service were good.
My favorite was the Bangijan Bil Laban. It is conveniently located by the Chinatown/Gallery place metro stop.
This place is consistently good and reasonably authentic
This place is consistently good and reasonably authentic (I'm familiar with the region they represent). Food is tasty, service is efficient and polite. Nicely priced too. The patio is where you should be if the weather permits.
The service and food and decorations are all very good.
We tried eggplants and scallops but did not take photo of scallops haha.
the only thing that's nice about this place is the service.
the food is genuinely disgusting, bordering on inedible. i am not a picky eater but this was just low quality ingredients disguised with way too much onion, garlic, and vinegar. i'm never coming back. you can cook much better, fresher, healthier
This place was amazing! Trendy interior, packed with people
This place was amazing! Trendy interior, packed with people indoors and outdoors with loud music. The food was unlike anything I've tried, I guess that is why it's on the Michelin guide. The menu was all small plates, so we ordered 2-3 plat
Went because we LOVE Jose Andres and all he does.
.. sad to say, food was mid at best and service pretty much sucked. I'll always support Andres and his restaurants- DC local who loves you!
Just OK
We were excited to try another Andres Group restaurant. Boy did it fee like it churned out another one. It was busy yet we were not blown away. One good dish - red pepper hummus was exceptional.
Yum! And great service!
Stopped in for lunch as a break from touring museums on a brutally hot day. -Ambiance: very modern, lots of light , clean, and cool. Just a very nice "vibe." - Service: friendly, informative, and patient as we reviewed the menu. Meal
Delicious pides for happy hour
Came for happy hour for the first time here the other day. At first was a bit disappointed at the lack of HH food choices - the only food items on the HH menu were pides - cone shaped flat bread with toppings. In sny case since there were 4 of us w
dinner with family
Waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. Ordered a couple of items to share. Humus with lamb was great. Kebob dish was large. Pita bread and dips were great
Loud and Little
What used to be a loud, raucous city favorite to lovers of delicious mediterranean cuisine has morphed into a factory of food to handle its overcrowded space where superpowers are required to hear. Subtlety of flavor combinations is replaced by dull
Meh - average lukewarm food and not worth the price point
We’ve been here a few times but last time we thought the food and service were below average. We thought we had an off night. We went back tonight - and again had poor service and tasty but like warm at best. The Halloumi should have been got but
Fantastic.
Good enough to eat twice in 4 days (once as take out, once for special occasion early dinner). Food/drinks: The food is excellent. Very impressed with the octopus, tomatoey eggplant dish, fatoush, sea bass, babaganoush and 4 other dishes I tried. Ca
It's been years since I have been to Zaytinya, back then
It's been years since I have been to Zaytinya, back then not sure if reviews were even the in thing! What I remembered were regular entrees not tapas style. We tried to call to make a reservation but nobody answered, so we opted to still go. As soon
Zaytinya.
..wow what can I say about this INCREDIBLE place? I want to start off by saying that I am allergic to all nuts (except peanuts), tahini, and I'm also vegetarian. This itself makes me stray from ALL Mediterranean places because most of their dishes ha
Perfectly Delicious!
Our son, my husband and I chose the Chef’s Tasting Menu and had an excellent meal! We began with a Tito’s Martini and stayed with water for the rest of the meal. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Service was timed as we finished one
These people are the scum of the earth.
Or should I say the DC. Anyways, there was okay service UNTIL WE GOT THERE. Mr. Manager told us that the food was halal [FOR CHICKEN AND LAMB ONLY], which was nice. Then, they took 30 minutes to tell us our seats had been given to someone else by acc
Food and service were amazing! Very pretty restaurant.
We ate at the bar and our server Jeferson M was fantastic!! The woman behind the bar was incredible making sure our bread stayed filled. Honestly some of the best cocktails, food and service we have ever had! Only improvement would be that the ladies
Zaytinya was a lovely culinary experience! My husband and I
Zaytinya was a lovely culinary experience! My husband and I were visiting Washington DC and we felt so lucky to discover this gem of a restaurant, owned by a true saint of our times! We got the tasting menu and every course was packed with delicious
Food was decent.
Not worth the money or the wait. The service was bad. They accidentally gave our seats away. They tried to move us to sit with someone else. Took 1 hour for the food. Not all halal . Not enough on the plate. Too much fat in the meat. $30 for 2 mini
Beautiful decor.
Excellent Brussels sprouts. The fattoush was so so and the salmon sandwich needs some more flavor since it was a bit bland (strange considering the flavorful ingredients). Decently priced for lunch
Came here for lunch on a Monday with my husband.
Lovely ambiance. Business-casual vibe as expected on a weekday during lunch. We ordered hummus along with the chicken shawarma and falafel sandwiches, which came with a side Fattoush salad. Everything was very tasty. Only slight con was the falafel
Great food, very fancy so it would be a special occasion
Great food, very fancy so it would be a special occasion place for me but I reallg enjoyed the food, especially the branzino. Free pita is good as well when they are stocked up on it. The server was nice but didn't really explain anything on the menu
Fabulous Meal, Great Service
My family had an amazing meal at Zaytinya. We did have to wait for a minute or two for our table to be ready (we made reservations two weeks in advance), and the restaurant was packed, but once we were seated the service was great, and the food was
Terrific
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Great food, great service, great vibe. Will come back when next in DC, for sure.
Very interesting and very characteristic
We ordered several appetizers and they were all very tasty. The service was excellent and the place was very well lit. I already want to go back there the next time I'm in the Center
Incredible food, fun lively room! Even the pita bread was
Incredible food, fun lively room! Even the pita bread was remarkable. The staff was helpful to navigate gluten free options. The octopus was amazing. Highly recommended for innovative Mediterranean food.

We caught the tail end of the lunch rush, but the staff was still incredibly attentive, kind, and hospitable. Our server was a pro and she wasn't even phased by the by how busy it was. The food was so good! The ambiance was nice. Decor was clean an
I LOVE zaytinya!! It is a fantastic spot to visit.
Having been here before, I decided to skip the experience menu and go a la carte, creating my own version of the experience. And what an experience it was! We started with the Zaytinya fries and an olives platter, which is an absolute must-try. It c

Everything about this place is special: the ambiance is busy but sophisticated, the service professional, and the hood felt like taking a trip to the Mediterranean for the evening. Truly a top tier dining experience for us.
Good Mediterranean cuisine and American atmosphere
Greek/Turkish restaurant, but very American in organization and management. Crowded for dinner even on a weekday, 2 of us arrived without a reservation and found a place to dine at the counter. Good food. Of Greek and even more Turkish inspiration, j

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Zaytinya Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Zaytinya Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Zaytinya Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Zaytinya Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Zaytinya Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
