I was in the neighborhood getting my nails done and when I finished up it was lunchtime. This spot was in the same shopping plaza and looked enticing so I decided to give it a try, I'm so glad I did! I ordered a chicken shawarma rice bowl to go. I got the rice with lentils, the chicken, the Greek salad and then hummus and tzatziki. The bowl was like $20 but it was nearly two meals for me. It was packed in there and I'm so glad it was because all of it was delicious. You can't even see the lentil rice at the bottom of the container in my picture it's so packed. In addition to the food being delicious, the service was great. The gentleman taking care of me when I came in was super nice finishing up packaging it up and asked if I was okay with some of their sauces to be added on the side. I was also able to try their strawberry and blueberry baklava (they're strategically sitting by the register taunting you to get them -- you have been warned!!) and I'm so glad I did because it was delicious. The color was a beautiful purple and the flavor was a mix of berries and honey but not too sweet. It was flakey and soft...i enjoyed it. The man even put fresh pistachios on top of it when he was packaging it up for me. First time coming and I will certainly be coming back. Welcome to Kendall Zaytona Grill, i am so happy you're here! read more

Great find in south west Kendall. We need more restaurants like this. Delicious home made dishes priced right. Best grape leaves I've had. read more

This place was stellar top top to bottom, and nothing brings me more delight than to be able to write a great review of a hard working family who is absolutely crushing it. First thing you notice are the other tables' food. It all looks incredible, and portions are huge. Then you open the menu, and prices are reasonable. We were quickly taken care of by the owner, who literally downsold us by suggesting a mixed grill platter - he said it was the best bang for your buck, so we went with it and are so glad we did. All the kebabs were excellent - steak tender and chicken juicy. The hummus, pita, tabbouili, kofta and falafel also hit the spot. The carrot salad was the biggest hit. And dessert the Dubai-style cheesecake was A+. Overall we ate a ton, with leftovers, without breaking the bank. A great family story behind it, and I'm just really happy we have a place like this in Kendall. read more

Kendall's newest Mediterranean restaurant has been the talk of the town and I had to come and see for myself. Seemed busy but Joseph the chef quickly attended us with welcoming background story of his family owned business. I tried the Kibbeh and steak skewers and it was delicious. The restaurant also has a mini market with cultural goods I though was nice. Really enjoyed the experience. read more

First time ordered from this spot. I was blown away by the manouche! The food was sooo flavorful and the options are insane!!

This is place is delicious! Everything was flavorful. Loved the chicken and beef. My husband and I did a combo and shared it, more than enough food! The kale salad was seasoned to perfection and tasted so fresh and so good! Oh and the customer service?! Amazing. They're so kind and thoughtful. My husband has nut and seafood allergies and they were so mindful and made sure everything he ate was safe! 100% recommend this place! A nice cozy family friendly restaurant. They also told me they're working on this liquor license because I asked for some wine haha! read more

Ordered for take out. Everything was beyond delicious. It tasted homemade. I would go back in a heartbeat. The meat in the kabobs was tender, beef and chicken. Tabbouleh was fresh and lemony, great. Also loved the kibbeh. The only downfall is that they're closed on Sundays. read more

All I can say is wow miami needed a spot like this. Food was incredible. So fresh so tasty and clean! We ordered the kibbeh and falafel and they were both incredible. We also got three chicken shwarmas one with hummus and salad one with babaganoush and salad and one with fries and rice pilaf. You cannot go wrong with any of these sides or the chicken. The carrot salad is sweet with a little kick and so delicious and the samosas are more like empanadas but so so good. We have already gone back twice in 1 week. Service was great and the ambiance is casual with a little grocery corner in the back. 5/5! read more

Amazing! Food and service are amazing! We went on the advice of family. I love Mediterranean food I'm slowly introducing my husband. We started our meal with a beef samosa that came out hot and fresh. We won't share next time! Then I had the Chicken Shwarma platter with Kibbeh and sweet carrot salad soooo good I ordered two kibbeh to go. Decided to end the meal with the Lotus cake! OMG! Our beautiful waitress said her Mom makes it. It's my husbands new favorite! Our waitress also gave us some Turkish coffee we had tried it before and weren't fans. I don't know what they do but it was soooooo good! Highly recommend read more

This place welcomed our dinner party pretty well. The food was good, I wouldn't say standout wow or terrible - just average. Ordered beef shawarma plate with Greek salad, rice pilaf and hummus and also a Sushi Kafta plate with baba ghanoush & tabbouleh. The cheese samosa was delightful and the sushi kafta was a fun twist. It was cute when the server said "that is a plate I would order, soo good." The service did take a while and parking was very easy. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Zaytona Grill. Before making a 45-minute drive, we called ahead to make sure they were open and could accommodate us for a late lunch. We were traveling with three other families, including children and a child with special needs, and came specifically looking for halal food while visiting from another state. When we arrived, we were asked how many people were in our group. After we explained that we were a total of 13 people, the employee spoke to another staff member, who then abruptly told us they were closed and could not take our order. We explained that we had called ahead before driving there, but he dismissed our concerns and said they had a family problem. What made the situation even more frustrating was that there were still customers eating inside, the "Open" sign was lit and hanging outside, and the business hours were still displayed. Instead of trying to communicate respectfully , the staff became rude and confrontational. Another staff member approached aggressively, and one of our friends was pushed during the interaction. The customer service was shockingly poor, and the behavior of the owner and staff was completely unprofessional. After making a long trip with multiple families and children, we were treated with disrespect and hostility. It was a very disappointing read more

Zaytona Grill - Kibbeh - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

What a lovely lunch spot. I used to come here when it was another restaurant and was sad when I learned it had closed.. not so much anymore.. this place was so good.. The food.. Mediterranean was fresh and flavorful as Mediterranean food should be. Good value too - I ordered the rice bowl with the chicken shawarma and it came with 3 sides so I was able to try the Somoza and the zaytona salad and the tabbouli .. each more delicious than the next. Herbacious and really.. plenty to take home for later. We saw a lot of to go orders but the service was nice.. helpful.. unpretentious just good people serving good food. Can't wait to go back and try the desserts.. ohhh did I mention there is a small market in site? With lots of Mediterranean staples and a few surprises. If you haven't had the chance to try Mediterranean food before this is a great place to start- if you haven't, this won't disappoint. Thanks Zaytona. I'll be back- save me a seat. read more

Zaytona Grill - Chicken Skewers, Hummus, Lentil Rice, Falafel and yummy warm pitas. - Mediterranean Near Me - Miami, Florida

First time having Mediterranean food in a while and my family and I were looking for a good spot to get dinner at and we stumbled upon Zaytona Grill. Honestly, great first impressions, Joseph, our server and host was so nice and he was so welcoming as well. I ordered the Chicken Skewer and it was delicious. I had grape leaves and fries as my sides and the fries were seasoned so well and the grape leaves were tangy and salty. We ordered the Baklava Sandwich to share and it was truly great. The whole ambiance of this place was so family-like and relaxed. The market was very cool too, and it had tons of imported options to look at and purchase. If you are in the Miami-Kendall area and want something relatively cheap, filling, and would like to support a family-owned business, try Zaytona Grill. You won't be disappointed! Will definitely be back more times. -Jacob Moore read more

Great meal! Ordered various appetizers and the lamb chops. Loved the sweet carrot salad! The owner, Joseph, is very kind.

What a wonderful new arrival in town! Zaytona is an astounding new Mediterranean restaurant in West Kendall, with a large menu and great tasting food. The best Tabouli around! Another must-try treat is their sweet carrot salad. The chicken shawarma is super tasty and the portions are generous. The ambiance is chill and relaxing. Great traditional music and clean seating areas with great space. The service is warm and welcoming; Josef is personable and thankful you are there. There is also a market space so you can bring the ingredients home. Don't worry, you'll love it! read more

Perfect cozy family restaurant with great food. We know most of the Mediterranean restaurants in South Miami Dade and this really was a better experience. Half the price: twice the real food. Good lentil soup with that hard to get flavor. All other dishes were spot on. Home cooking and a great menu. And the place is spotless. And Joseph was very attentive. read more
