They are located in Hamilton, Ohio serving up some seriously good and authentic Palestinian food! We tried their kibbeh, falafel, fries, hummus, philly cheesesteak, and their limited time chicken over rice! The flavors of everything was unreal! The restaurant has a great ambiance with beautiful, traditional Palestinian decor. The service is amazing too! read more

I needed some tasty takeout and gyros sounded really appealing! This restaurant is located in the Bridgewater Falls shopping center, but it's easy to find using the Yelp pin and GPS. Looks to be a quick serve setup, where you order and pay at the counter and they deliver to your table. I saw a few people dining in. Nice and clean inside with simple and soothing decor. Got two gyros and an order of stuffed grape leaves to go. The gyros were absolutely enormous where you need a fork to eat at least half the meat before you could even think about holding it. Nice and fresh and very tasty, though I was expecting the meat to be much more thinly sliced, and it was a wee bit short on the Tzatziki. Note to self: order extra on the side. The grape leaves were perfect, lemony and refreshing with a nice slightly crisp bite to reveal the tender filling. Beautifully wrapped too so nothing spilled out. I called my order in. I noticed the website must be directly powered by a third party delivery system as it had inflated prices, even if you choose the pickup option. So pick up the phone and call if you want to pay the regular menu prices. The gentleman who took my order and waited on me was very polite and cheerful. I'll be back! read more

Good service and easy phone call to place my order. Loved the interior of the restaurant and loved the food even more when we returned home.

I was invited to eat here for lunch on a Monday with friends who have been before. I never would have known about it otherwise. Oh my gosh, I was so impressed with everything. The decor is just lovely with the blue swirly floor, to the live plants everywhere, to the repurposed screen door hanging from the ceiling. The service was so warm and personal. They didn't seem to mind that we sat there for two hours talking. I don't throw 5 stars at a place lightly, especially for lunch. But this food was authentic and fantastic! I have never tasted falafel that was so perfectly fried and the spices were as important to the dish as the chickpeas. The hummus was so creamy with a good amount of seasoning and a lovely olive oil. The grape leaves were a little boring, but I haven't had them but one other time in my life, so maybe that is the way they are supposed to be. The gyro was indeed messy to eat, but the meat was SO tender and perfectly spiced. Their tzatziki sauce is great and they put plenty on the gyro so it is not dry. Fries are spot on. Pita is perfect. The Beef Shawarma platter is huge and everything blended perfectly. My friend really like his chicken shawarma sandwich. This family obviously knows their stuff. This place is a step above the other Mediterranean restaurants in our area. Highly recommend. read more

Freshest food, friendly service, very clean. Had Kibbeh- I think this was my favorite- deep fried to perfection, not overly greasy, an amazing burst of flavors!

Can't wait to return to this delicious establishment! read more

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. read more

Al Zaytuna Grill - Chicken Shawarma Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Hamilton, Ohio

Downloaded Yelp just to leave this place a review. Delicious, friendly, affordable. My favorite spot around town.

I'll save you some time - definitely worth the trip! Visited this unique middle eastern restaurant Christmas Eve and was blown away by the fresh ingredients and flavorful food! There was no wait luckily and we were told we could pick anywhere to sit which was refreshing. The ambiance wasn't anything spectacular but the food was delicious! My partner and I both got the chicken kabob meal - which comes with a salad and rice. The kabob and rice were hot and tasty, and the salad was exceptionally fresh! To top it all off the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be returning. read more

This place is amazing! The moment we walked in the beautiful lady working the counter made us feel so welcomed! She was so helpful and joyful! This place is a small family owned business with exceptional customer service and awesome food! We ordered: a Gyro Combo, Chicken Shawarma Sandwich Combo, and Chicken Tenders Combo, and Hummus. All the combos came with French Fries and your choice of a fountain drink or a drink from the refrigerator. Everything was absolutely delicious, moist, and fresh! The atmosphere is welcoming. The place is clean with lots of lighting. The decor is beautiful and authentic and the music was authentic and really added to the experience. They have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as take out available. I highly recommend this place! We will be back and tells others about it. read more

Always a good meal and fast service. The Gyro or gyro salad is my go too. Eat here a couple times a month.

By far the best food ever!!!!! The service was PHENOMENAL! Nicest people out there. I had a blast with my family and friends. We came 20 ppl deep and they took care of us wonderfully read more

Updating to 5 stars because this place just keeps getting better. i've been back several times since my last review and tried nearly everything. Kofta kabobs, shawarma, gyros, and tabbouleh are probably the best i've had outside of NYC. Great people, always friendly and happy to see me. Takeout is always fast even when i don't call ahead. read more

Don't be fooled by the modest appearance of this place. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and fast. We ordered the Al Zaytuna appetizer mix to try a little of everything. We had never tried some of the foods. They were all wonderful and fresh. We also ordered the mixed kabob sampler platter which also turned out to be fantastic. Try it and you will be back! read more

Disappointing. Why? Because 1. the reviews are 5 star, so expectation was set, and 2. I already have a high expedition for Middle Eastern cuisine. Growing up in the metro Detroit area, which has the highest concentration of Arab Americans in the nation, you get spoiled and used to amazingness. Al Zaytuna fell quite short of that. Service: not good, maybe because she had only been there a week, but she was unfamiliar with menu items, asked me questions that didn't correlate to what I ordered, and she asked me to carry a huge napkin holder, in addition to other items, to eat outside, having to make several trips since there were no trays? Uhh... Food: sigh. Ordered the chicken fattoush, was so excited...but if you know fattoush, you will be sad. There was no lemon in the dressing...just tasted like canola or vegetable oil, the squeezed lemon juice is what gives fattoush an effervescence... In addition, the chicken was dry, and the combo of both these defects made me want to stop eating about halfway through the meal, it was that unappetizing. Prices are good though! So, if you know your fattoush, you should avoid it. If you have limited experience with this cuisine, you might like this place. read more

Overall the place was "Eh".‍ The ambiance was very weird. They had the movie sausage party (rated R-MPAA) playing on the Tv which is very inappropriate for a restaurant where kids can eat but also shows how sad it is for grocery food to be eaten. It didn't make me want to eat my food as much. The food was okay. The falafel was extra crunchy with tiny bits in it that hurt my teeth. The rice had a weird taste to it and probably needed more salt. I would have preferred it in a big bowl so I could mix the sauce, rice and falafel better. The baklava was good though! The major red flag that made me never want to come back was when I went to get my drink, a swarm of gnats flew off of the ice tea dispenser. They either didn't clean it, or have a gnat problem they to address. It makes me wonder how many of them are in the kitchen too read more

The food is absolutely flavorful, tasty, delicious and just so authentic! The food tastes home cooked and not like other average restaurant that will mass produce and cut back on quality and flavor.

Al Zaytuna Grill - Amazing food! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Hamilton, Ohio

My mom and I went here a few months back and the workers were kind and friendly. Mom never had the items on the menu and they did a great job explaining the foods and making her feel comfortable enough to try it out. The food is always fresh and delicious. If you enjoy restaurants that tastes like its home cooking then I highly recommend this spot. There is plenty of seating, public restrooms, and beautiful music. I believe the music playing when we first ate in was Arabic (I could be wrong) but it was very catchy. Check this spot out! read more

What a gem! We've been coming to Bridgewater Falls for years and I had no idea this little spot was even here. It is a very unassuming little restaurant with family taking your order and cooking the food. The menu is simple, with various shawarma options in a pita or as a platter. We got chicken and beef shawarma in pita: so juicy and delicious, with lots of fresh cabbage and pickles. We also ordered what the menu claimed were homemade stuffed grapes leaves and they absolutely were--tasty and fresh, served with lemon. We will be back! read more

After several days of Americanized food (goetta, barbecue, southern, etc), I needed to get a bit more foreign- Al Zaytuna hit the spot. Placed a GrubHub order when leaving the gym and came in to pickup. Ended up dining in, couldn't finish my meal. The chicken shawarma sandwich seemed to be a favorite based on reviews, so I ordered that and customized with half hummus and half baba ganoush, based on Erikamarie's recommendations. Staff didn't seem to be able to accommodate but the protein was well seasoned and staff brought out a cucumber sauce (tasted similar to a ranch) as well. I really like the traditional stuffed pita (rather than rolled or folded, as found elsewhere) and fresh vegetables, particularly the marinated onions. read more

Got takeout and it was bomb. Gyro and chicken shawarma sandwich were the highlights but it was all good.

Friendly service, wonderful food, it's a great place to eat! We would definitely go again if we are in the area.

So clean and friendly! Tucked away in Bridgewater Falls by Best Buy. They had a place in Colerain for years. Family owned and run. Ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken. Really wanted the fries but refrained. Amazing salad! At least 1lb chicken! Everything so fresh and flavorful! read more

We love good Mediterranean food! When visiting from out of town we heard about Al Zaytuna. We decided to give it a try. The chicken kabob plate was my favorite. The lamb is also delicious. The fries were nice and crispy. I'm overall very impressed. My only gripe was the steak kabob. The steak was a bit over cooked for our liking. read more
