It was basically cheap minced beef wrapped around kebab skewers. I couldn't finish it, and my stomach isn't feeling great tonight. The service was awful. They basically dropped the food at our table, and no one checked on us to see if we needed anything until it was time to pay. The ladies' restroom was flooded with toilet water, which tells me a lot about their hygiene standards. I had a good experience here a couple of years ago, but I would never eat here again or recommend this place to my friends.

I came here for lunch. I was looking for Persian food and found this place on Google Maps. The…read morepictures looked kind of similar to Iranian food, so I decided to give it a try. My husband and I ordered a few dishes. The ingredients seemed decent, but the rice had no salt at all, and the kebab wasn't tasty. The garnish on the plate wasn't prepared well either big chunks of onion, cucumber, and tomato, not nicely cut. The stew also didn't have much flavor and wasn't good. Honestly, when food isn't seasoned properly from the start, adding salt later doesn't fix it. We didn't enjoy our meal. Also, we tried calling the servers (both the guy and the lady), but they didn't respond. In the end, my husband had to get up and ask for bread. They still forgot, and near the end of our meal the waitress walked by and said, Oh, you wanted bread?

Completely unexpected in many ways, some good, some not so good…read more Had no idea that this was a slavic joint, but was excited to try some food as it had been a while since I'd had any. Ordered the lamb shawarma and pelmeni at the counter on the way in. The shawarma is wrapped in lavash which is actually brilliant and it was delightfully flaky and crispy. The filling itself was delicious, tender lamb and pungently garlicky sauce--just what a rich meat needs to cut the flavor. The pelmeni comes with a side of sour cream, and I have to say that the flavor was not anything remarkable, and really depended on the sour cream to give it that boost. Figured out afterwards that this restaurant is attached to the neighboring spa, which is a no-frills Slavic-style facility from which patrons can order food during their spa day. The two establishments also share the adjoining billiards/rec room. Now for the reason one star was taken off: while the eating area is well-kept, the bathroom which is accessible through the billiards room was long-neglected, the trash can overflowing and the toilet paper missing--I had to poke around in the cabinet to find a new roll. They say a restaurant is only as clean as its bathroom, and I think you can say the same thing for a spa.

The center area hosted a huge group with multiple tables pushed together. I have avoided Zeitoon all these years because they are higher cost, not necessarily justifiable since there are lower cost Persian foods or similar Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I finally decided to try them. Our server answered my questions, including his favorites. Two questionable/sketchy things happened: 1. Our server recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, which he said is great with the optional soft-boiled egg. Sounds good. We ordered it. The optional egg is $2, which is not identified on the menu. (See photo) 2. When he recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, we asked him to remove the Mast O Khiar which we initially chose. I said we only want one appetizer. He nodded and said OK. When the Mirza Ghasemi arrived, so did the Mast O Khiar. They put both on the table and immediately left. I flagged the original server to remind him we said to remove it, but a different person showed up instead. He: "You want to cancel this? No problem." and took the yogurt away. I did not order this; it is not me canceling. Minus 0.5 stars from overall rating. The Food: Mirza Ghasemi + egg, $14 +$2 - 2.5 Stars This eggplant dish is the one recommended by our server. We do enjoy eggplant dips, especially warm versions. The optional "soft boiled egg" is not an American version but tiny threads of yellow egg bits mixed within the eggplant mixture. Honestly, we cannot taste the egg. It is borderline a scam. This dish would be 3.5 stars if it was $14 at the menu price, which is already on the high side. A $16 eggplant dish is delusional. Lamb Shishlik Kebab, $36 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Lamb rack marinated and chargrilled (see menu photo) I knew I would not see a rack of lamb on my plate. I got four lamb chops. Meat quality wise, this is excellent. It comes with a ton of basmati rice and a salad with a refreshing light dressing. This is a bit spendy for the quantity of meat, but taste is good. Soltani Shishlik, $42 - 3.5 Stars This is the exact same dish as above except add a skewer of grounded beef kebab. This kebab, and I quote my hubby, is "not that good". Same comment for the rest of the dish. A basket of lavash bread arrived at the table. I believe it came with the Mirza Ghasemi. We have eaten many lavash breads, commonly used as wrap so it is grilled and/or heat-pressed with oil on the surface. These lavash breads are simply warmed. I learned they taste terrible that way. The surface has a sandpaper texture and still taste like sandpaper when eating it. If I paid for this separately, I would be upset.

After walking…read morearound to stretch our legs from the drive we ducked into Zeitoon Grill House for some Persian cuisine. Based on decor I wondered if it had been a pub or steakhouse once in its life: lots of paneled and coffered wood, chandeliers, and wooden booths with coat hangers. We started with the baba ghanouj and ordered the fesenjan and a beef kobideh for meals. The meals came with a salad to share rather than small individual salads on the plate which was a nice touch. The staff was able to provide some veggies with the baba ghanouj since my partner in crime can't have bread. The baba ghanouj was great - exactly the smoky eggplant flavor I was craving when I saw the sign for Persian cuisine. The kobideh was nice and tender - you could taste the onion. The fesenjan was also extremely good. One question: Who eats this much rice in one dish? The rice was very good - but it is a lot of rice. I haven't had Persian like this since we had Persian neighbors who invited us over.
