| A true neighborhood gem with global soul Visited Zayith with family and visiting friends after multiple strong recommendations--and it exceeded every expectation. If you love the vibe and culinary creativity of Sarma or Oleana, Zayith absolutely belongs on your list. We sampled a wide range of the menu--patatas bravas, murgh malai skewers, lentil nachos, skordostoumbi (Zakynthos-style garlic shrimp), kataifi-wrapped prawns, and paneer butter masala--and every single dish was executed beautifully. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and the Indian influences stood out for their authenticity and depth rather than being diluted for fusion's sake. Compliments to the chef for creating such thoughtful, seamless combinations. The cocktails were equally impressive--we tried the sangria and the spiced goose, both of which paired wonderfully with the food and reinforced the Mediterranean spirit of the menu. The experience truly felt transportive--taking us from the streets of Seville to Greece and India in one sitting. The ambience is warm and inviting, making it equally well-suited for a family dinner, a special night out, or a relaxed evening with friends. We're so glad to have discovered this neighborhood gem--and it's safe to say we'll be regulars. read more

I ate here with my two teens a few weeks back. We ordered a handful of things off the menu. I'm not really here to complain about the food which was ... fine... but the whole thing was just a chaotic mess. It was FREEZING in the restaurant. Hot food came on freezing cold plates which made it immediately turn cold. Prices were incredibly high for the food quality and quantity. But the one anecdote which really sums up our whole experience: I asked for a cup of hot tea (it was COLD in there). They came back around 4 or 5 times to ask me what kind of tea, if I want milk, should the milk be hot or cold, like a "cup" of tea or "something else"? It took about 20 minutes and the involvement of three people for them to bring me half a mug of hot water, a little cup of (hot) milk, and a celestial seasonings English Breakfast tea bag and then had the temerity to charge 9 DOLLARS for it. It was so utterly ridiculous. I'm usually willing to give people a second chance if there was anything good about the experience but this one is just a no from me. read more

My partner and I recently stopped by Zayith in Sudbury on a Wednesday night. We'd heard good things from friends about their Mediterranean/Spanish/Turkish tapas. The "Batata Bravas" and Hummus Salad Plate with Pita were excellent -- especially thanks to the flavorful sauces they stood out. Both were very flavorful. However, the Cod Croquettes and Grilled Octopus fell flat: the croquettes were a bit dry, and the octopus was chewy instead of tender. Zayith's ambiance is clean and functional, but it didn't feel warm or cozy. More like an upscale cafe, than a dinner restaurant. And the modern-electric-pop music was unexpected. Not unpleasant, in fact we kind of liked it actually. Just surprising. The service was good. They have a full bar, but on this Wednesday night there was no full-time/professional bartender, nor bar seating. The cocktails were okay, but nothing to get excited about. Overall: we liked the evening, but definitely wouldn't rush back. 3 stars. read more

Crazy delicious cocktails and food. We got the feta mezze, samosa taco, paneer butter masala and steak dish. Best meal we've had in a long time. read more

Food was so tasty and colorful presentation was beautiful on all the dishes. Atmosphere was really nice until we were seated in a fairly good size room with two other tables each with four people. Could not hear my dinner partner when we tried to talk because of the loud chatter. We thought to ask for another table by we thought that maybe they would quiet down a bit and then we were already being served to eat. So the service was great and food also but beware where you are seated. I would go back but will ask to be reseated and hopefully they can get some noise control in their rooms. read more

Great find outside Boston. Amazing food & truly outstanding flavors I've never experienced before. Loved trying all the tapas small dishes. Everything was top notch! Highly recommend this place. read more

The place offers food that is not available elsewhere in the area - Indian, mid eastern and Spanish tapas. The preparation is good, similar to tapas restaurants in Boston city. The prices are similar to that of Boston city as well, but that was expected. read more

Wow! The flavors. The presentation. Creative and Delicious. The restaurant is beautiful. We went late for Sudbury on Saturday night, 8:15. It's great that they are open later than most in the area. There were 3 of us and we did tapas: squash fritters, chicken wings, steak bites(came with fries), falafel and a hummus board. Plenty of food. Prices were reasonable for the experience except we did splurge on two cocktails-$18 each but they were AMAZING- pistachio martini! Looking forward to trying brunch. read more

Zayith Bazaar - Chocolate Katifi - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Sudbury, Massachusetts

Excellent food, got take out. Nice mix of vegetarian with non vegetarian options. Will be back!

Great to see a new restaurant in Sudbury especially a Tapas restaurant. Zayith has a vibrant atmosphere and was easy to get a reservation. Still fairly new so I would recommend booking on a Friday or Saturday. The drinks menu was good and worth a try. Mostly ate Tapas although the Mussels in Garlic and Chablis sauce were very good. The Tapas menu had some interesting dishes so we picked 4 different dishes to share. Although the combinations were intriguing they didnt quite live up to expectations. Considering the food is Spanish or Mediterranean I was disappointed by the lack of spices. The lack of spice and in some cases lack of spiciness left an overall "good but not great" feeling. Disappointed by our waiter, he started off very well but then went completely AWOL after the initial orders were submitted so no water top ups and would have been great to try the deserts but hard to do so when your waiter goes all Houdini on you. I understand it takes a while for a restaurant to get into its groove so I will give it a couple of months before I return. Overall, could be a great restaurant but need to tune a few areas if you want to maintain the new restaurant momentum. read more

Zayith Bazaar - Garlic and Chablis Mussels with sourdough bread. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Sudbury, Massachusetts

Best meal I've had in ages!! The service was great - super attentive manager, food came out as it was ready and hot but the food itself... so many flavors!!! Best thing at Zayith?? I couldn't say!! I ate all the things!!! Garlic shrimp served with a huge slice of sour dough for dipping in the tomatoey sauce, hummus platter with fresh pita, chicken wings OMG the chicken wings!!!! Sautéd potatoes... squash fritters. Ok, I think the fritters were my favorite. The sauce is amazing. It is a little pricey, but I had been warned. GO! Run! Eat there. So good!!! read more

The best Food ,great Place Amazing Service Parking is bit tight and lucky to enter without Reservation. Making a reservation for next will be a great idea, see you soon folks thanks for a Great Meal read more

Good, mostly Middle Eastern food, nice atmosphere and pretty good service, but value is the issue. It is crazy, whacko expensive even for this area and taking into account inflation and the always high cost of running a restaurant. More like New York or Palm Beach prices. We are talking, as of this writing, $10 for a tiny cup of Turkish coffee, $18 for Babaganush and $7 for tea. Guess they are trying to keep out the riff raff (like me) and attract only venture capitalists and neurosurgeons. They will be successful, however, if they lower their prices. read more

A delight to visit and enjoy amazing food and drink! We had 3 tapa dishes. My friend had two different cocktails. Each one was a delight. New flavors, mixed textures, and beautiful use of seasonings each bite was fabulous. Kudos to the chef. The ambience was wonderful. We met the mgr/owner at the end of the meal. Checking in on how my friend like a cocktail that was now on the new menu. A lovely lady who husband is the chef. Very talented people who have brought a wonderful restaurant to Sudbury. We will be back, soon! Thank you read more

We had a great experience, with really good service and very fresh food. The interesting thing about their cuisine is that it includes traditional Spanish offerings and interesting food items from around the Mediterranean. We shared a beet salad, which was quite tasty, and the paella, which includes bomba rice (better than Arborio) and some very good saffron. This is a really good addition to the food scene in Metrowest Boston. read more

A true hidden gem that deserves many more customers than it's currently getting. Fascinating selection of tapas (Middle Eastern and Mediterranean, with some Indian-oriented selections as well, plus half a dozen or so "mains" (the paella was excellent!). Dozens of options for vegetarians. Beautifully prepared and presented by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Each dish is literally a work of art that will make you want to reach for your camera before you dig in. Excellent selection of (mostly Mediterranean) wines available by the glass. Pricey, but well worth it and not out of line with other high-end restaurants in the area. The owners are clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows! read more

A hidden gem for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Food! Absolutely love Zayith Kitchen! Fresh, flavorful food made with love and precision. The tapas and desserts are INCREDIBLE. Best spot in Sudbury for healthy, authentic, Michelin quality food. read more

Incredible experience from start to finish. The lamb chops were seared to perfection, the salmon with curry had just the right level of spice, and the rice had so much flavor it practically danced with every bite. We finished with a perfectly creamy crème brûlée with that flawless caramelized top. A must-visit for date nights or a great evening out with friends. The service was excellent read more

The food is stellar. The people are friendly and real. And the food is not only delicious but surprising in the best way. We love this place. read more

My girlfriends and I went for brunch and we plan on coming back for more meals esp. dinner. The Zayith Hash was phenomenal and is in the photo- with the Shashuka and Beet salad. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu honestly and we enjoyed trying out new drinks. The black sesame latte was very yummy! Owner and servers were exceptional with service and were very accommodating. read more

The flavors are out of this world. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the service was so friendly.

Awesome food , great presentation and very distinct Mediterranean food, along with great service makes this my goto restaurant for special occasions. Every item we ordered was spot on, the chicken wings were distinct and sumptuous as were the lamb sliders and Lentil Nachos . Great combo of great food, service and ambiance. read more

Food was excellent and served beautifully. Pricey but they put the time in and serve quality food. Service people were excellent both times I went . The ambiance was very nice Downside I spoke to a woman mgr about a chip in my tea cup and asked her to please take it off the bill. I had mentioned how I liked the food. She did take it off the bill. I did mention that I thought $9.00 for a cup of bigello tea was pricey. I was not rude but just stating a fact. She said they were not a breakfast place about the price of the tea. I know expensive tea. This is not it. Bigello is good but not worth $9.00 for a cup. She was rude in her tone. I would have given this place 5 stars but the rudeness really surprised me read more

So excited for this new Tapas restaurant in Sudbury! Three of us went and we had 1. Spiced Squash Fritters - delicious, pakora type fritters 3 to an order - Pomegranate seeds were a great touch 2. Lentil Nachos - recommended by the waiter as they should be! Crispy and enough for all 3 of us to have a taste, delightful, not like anything any of us had had before, will definitely order again! 3. Potatoes Bravas - perfect Potatoes Bravas - if you like Tapas, you've had them when they weren't perfect, so you know what I mean, beautifully crispy- enough for the 3 of us 4. Sumac Lamb Kofte Sliders with Fries - only two of these to an order, but delicious! 5. Beef Seekh Kabab - that's Seekh not Shish Kabab - that means the meat is ground - not the star, but still very good! 6. (Laffa) Za'atar Lahmajun - All in all, everything was well balanced, complex and beautifully spiced and I apologize that I forgot to take pics read more

Excited to see this new place and love the concept of Middle Eastern / Spanish foods! And especially appreciate that they indicate GF on the menu. Was a little surprised to learn that Zayith Tapas and Bar doesn't actually have a bar, rather a drink menu. (I had pictured myself eating tapas at the bar.) The drinks were small with a lot of ice. But the menu was interesting and featured a few drinks I hadn't seen before eg. Old Cuban. No cava on the drink menu was also surprising. We had a few delicious small plates. The squash blossoms were outstanding!! Loved the flavors! Enjoyed the olive medley. We thought the Potatoes Bravas sauce could use some spice and heat, maybe as an option since not everyone is up for that. We were seated in a room at the back of the restaurant. It was a little spare in decor and echoey until it filled up with diners. The music was a little too loud and the rotation included a bizarre pipe organ album - think circus music - that made it seem like no one that worked there was listening to what was playing. The other albums in rotation were fine. Zayith is new so give them a minute to find their groove. Look forward to visiting again. read more

Our second time was even better than the first, which was amazing. The presentation is inviting, and every dish is filled with flavor and color. Service is warm and attentive and the ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. It was my first experience with tapas, (small plates) ; the food was excellent, and artistically presented. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated. read more

The experience here was really disappointing. While the food was delicious, the servings were very small and very expensive given the portions. Our group had sangria and it was barely drinkable. We went on a weekday night and the place was packed so service was pretty slow and it was very noisy. Our group of five couldn't even hear each other. What was good: Squash fritters, Baba Ganoush platter, and spinach falafel (although way overpriced for one small falafel). What was not good: prices, noise level, and service We ordered 8 tapas plates for five people and each had a glass of sangria and we ended up spending $50 per person, left hungry, and with a headache and hoarse voice from the noise! read more

Fabulous - we ordered 8 plates for 4 people plus one desert to share; everything we ordered, even though we had no idea what the dishes were really going to be like, was creative, tasty, and delicious. The decor and lighting is soothing, tasteful and quiet - in short, a perfect gem in the western burbs. Prices per plate however seemed a bit high; the total bill was more like a high end restaurant. We had a teenager for server, though, who I think had never worked as a waiter, so the service was a bit disjointed. But don't let that deter you - I Zayith unto you - try it!! read more

This beautiful place is definitely the hot restaurant in Sudbury. The service was impeccable as they brought on an amazing new waitress but the food was incredible! My BF and I came for an early dinner on 9/19 and we had the garlic shrimp, Barcelona paella, baklava and the crème brûlée. Everything is so super fresh and so aromatic. It's all made to order so you know you're getting the best! I'm putting this place on our top 3 list and will definitely be back soon! Thank you for opening such an amazing restaurant in an area where nothing compares to this. read more

This beautiful place is amazing. welcoming atmosphere and the service is impeccable. my BF and I came here for an early dinner on Friday 9/19 and it was wonderful. we had the garlic shrimp and the barcelona paella and for dessert the baklava and crème brûlée - everything is super fresh and comes out made to order. the owner told us the chef never has anything made in advance. the aroma and spices and ingredients are top notch. yes this restaurant is definitely on our top 3 list of all restaurants in Massachusetts not just the area. read more

Newly opened, so a little patience is needed while working out the service kinks. But...WOW! The food is really good! The flavor profiles are so interesting and so wonderfully balanced. In particular, the cauliflower steak was the best I've ever had. We will be back! read more

We happened to be driving past and spotted Zayith. They are newly established so don't be put off by the lack of reviews because this place is phenomenal. Good service - friendly, efficient and with great recommendations. Food is delicious - in fact the best falafel we have had outside of Jordan. All in all we can thoroughly recommend. We will be back to try the rest of the menu when we are back in town. read more

Was looking forward to trying out the newest restaurant in Sudbury. Had heard very good things about it. Unfortunately my friend and I had a disappointing experience. The silverware and glassware looked dirty, but it was water spots. Even though the interior has been completely renovated, the paint looked worn and the place didn't feel clean. Prices were rather high for the quality and quantity of the food. We had to ask for clean plates and serving utensils for our salad and knives for the flatbread. Staff was very polite but not particularly attentive. They need to work on customer service! read more

Service was friendly and the food generally good. Seating is a bit cramped and loud. Plates come out exceedingly slowly, and waitstaff will bring incorrect plates. It's worth a second visit to see if it was an off night, but, overall, not the greatest tapas experience to be had. Parking is very difficult. Too loud to be intimate and too expensive to be a casual dining experience. It really has some identity finding discovery to do. read more

Just had a really great dinner - food was awesome and drinks were so good too. We will definitely be back!

We had such an amazing meal at Zayith last weekend! The owner greeted us herself and gave us the backstory to the restaurant and the inspiration for their food. We ordered 6 different tapas and the hummus/ pita platter and everything was fabulous. Desserts and drinks were great as well. We had a brand new server but he took care to make sure he understood our order fully and was attentive. We will definitely be back! read more
