After receiving a 40% DoorDash coupon in the mail, I simply couldn't resist the urge of ordering a delivery. And I simply couldn't think of ordering anything else but delicious food from my favorite Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill to satisfy my Medi craving. At that moment, I listened to my inner voice. Today, what I got were: -Lentils Soup -Mixed Appetizers -Sambusa Potato Lentil Soup is very simple and yet it's got some character to it. Lightly seasoned, and I probably liked it very much because of that;. Without using a lot of salt it holds a good balance of flavors mostly from the main ingredient: lentils. I waited until it was lukewarm so I could "drink" out of the container. It had a hint of lemon taste which I noticed as I slowly chugged it (lol!!) Well-made soup indeed. Sambusa Potato was exactly what I had expected. Again, not salty at all but not bland either. Good portion size. This is one of the staple items off the menu which I always order. Mixed Appetizers were quite amazing and this is now my favorite dish. The restaurant was so generous. They put more than enough pita bread slices for it. They certainly don't know how to be stingy (lol!) This restaurant continues to perform well where they have never been bad or even mediocre. read more

We finally decided to try what is advertised as the only sit-down Turkish restaurant in Denver, and unfortunately, it was a major disappointment--we left hungry. There were three of us. We ordered a koobideh sandwich with fries, an Adana kebab plate with baba ghanoush, and a salad. My husband asked if we could have a traditional Turkish shepherd's (çoban) salad, but instead we received a few slices of tomato and cucumber served alongside a single skewer of beef. To make matters worse, the koobideh and Adana turned out to be the exact same kebab. When we asked, the server confirmed they were essentially the same item with different names. The baba ghanoush was served by itself with nothing to eat it with. When we requested bread, we were given a microwaved pita and charged an additional $3. Our total bill was $39, which might sound reasonable, but the value simply wasn't there. The server repeatedly mentioned how understaffed they were, there was no traditional Turkish salad on the menu, and dips were served without bread unless you paid extra. Overall, the experience fell far short of expectations. There are much better places in Denver to spend your money. read more

Very nice atmosphere. More importantly, very good food. I love the combination platter and the garlic sauce. Turkish tea and the lemonade are amazing. Each time we've had friendly fast service. I'm also a big fan of the babaganoush. The meat is very tender and not dried out as well. read more

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill - Greek Salad - Turkish Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We ordered a mix of grilled meats, rice, salads, and appetizers, and everything came out hot and perfectly seasoned. The grilled kebabs were juicy and well-charred with great spice balance, and the lamb chops were especially tender and rich in flavor. The hummus was smooth and creamy with high-quality olive oil and spices on top -- easily one of the better versions I've had. The kibbeh was crisp on the outside and soft and savory inside, and the fresh salad added a great, bright contrast to the heavier dishes. The house sauces really elevated everything. It was busy and low staffed ( day after Valentine's day rush) but the two waiters were obviously working very hard. My partner has not stopped talking about how amazing his lamb chops were and it's the next day! Will be coming back read more

New restaurant to me and we really like it! Ordered twice now and found the quantity and quality to be very good. Flavors were delicious and fresh. I could drink that garlic sauce by the gallon. This is one of those restaurants that puts extra attention into authentic flavors and I appreciate that. The meats, sides and sauces were all done well. Eat with confidence. read more

This spot was sooooo good! We decided to order the mega combo that had a mix of different meats with bulgur rice as a side. All the meats were cooked perfectly and the rice had so much flavor. My favorite dip was definitely the garlic one and it paired well with all the meats. We also got a salad and it was perfect to cut through the heaviness from the meat. It's a large restaurant with plenty of space and it wasn't busy around 11:30am on a Saturday. The service was great and he was very informative. 10/10 would come back. read more

Great spot for Mediterranean! The pita was perfect for the delicious sandwiches- we had a gyro and the chicken Shawarma and small fries! The dill sauce is the best and the small Turkish tea was a nice addition to the meal. read more

Ordered pickup. Got there at pickup time but they hadn't started, so I had to wait another 20 minutes. Lamb kebab might actually be the toughest meat I've had in my life. Even when I cut with the grain, it felt like cutting into a motel mattress. Only giving 2 stars because it did have good flavor, but that disappeared pretty quickly since I had to chew for so long. read more

A cute little Mediterranean restaurant with an Afghan flare. The customer service was good as well as the food. I tried the "Mantu" a dish that is made in Afghanistan. It was Fantastic! Be warned though it takes 40 min to prepare but it is with the wait! read more

Very nice lunch with my daughter! She wanted something healthy and close to the house. We both love Mediterranean, so off we went to Zaytoon. This is the former location of Crave, and idk what happened to them. I liked them. The interior is pretty much the same. Very spare and simple, but with fun lighting fixtures. Service was excellent. Efficient and very polite. My daughter wanted to try grape leaves. I didn't think that she would like them, but stayed quiet. We encouraged both kids to have adventurous palates. They weren't her favorite, but the filling wasn't bad. She had the gyro wrap, and I had the chicken shawarma. Both were DELICIOUS!! They were wrapped in a very, very thin flatbread that could possibly be mistaken for paper. It was unusual to me. But a very nice change from giant flour burrito wraps. I liked it. We also got a giant order of fries to share. They were CRINKLE FRIES!! And so yummy!!! Perfectly cooked. I ate way too many. Yum! Took half the sandwich home. Very generous size. We really liked this place. Will return, maybe even get my next plane sandwich here. read more

I had to write another excellent review for Zaytoon! I met a friend for dinner there last night, and tried another new dish. Of course, I had to start with the baba ghanoush for appetizer, because that is the very best! Had chicken Shawarma this time and it was so flavorful and tender and moist. Had a side dish of hummus and bulgar underneath. So delicious! We keep coming back and try new dishes, but of course always starting with the baba ghanoush! read more

I came for lunch and got the chicken koobidah wrap and it was delicious. The wrap was so filling and flavorful. The Turkish salsa and dill sauce that it was served with were the perfect compliments. Quick and friendly service. I'll be back! read more

Delicious & authentic Mediterranean cuisine, specifically Turkish. Nice atmosphere. Busy on weekends (slower service) but worthwhile for the great food. read more

How this place has a decent rating is beyond me. Hands down the worst Gyro I've ever had. The pita immediately crumbled, is super dry and the whole thing is just bad. I wondered how it was going to taste when the hot sauce that came with the order was an assortment of packets from Taco Bell, del taco, and some Asian restaurant. What a bunch of cheapskates. This was a delivery order, but I watched it get picked up and delivered to our house 5 minutes later, so it's not like it sat for a while and that was the issue. Trust me, it's awful. Both me and my wife threw the food away after a couple bites. I NEVER throw food away, it was literally that bad. read more

Stopped in for lunch today and disappointed with the experience. There was no one at the front desk to seat us so we grabbed a seat on the patio and had to clear the old plates off so we could sit. The food was not very good either. My Gyro lunch plate had dried and tough beef (no traditional lamb) some salad with a super sweet (could not eat it) dressing and some bland humus. The pita was extra. My wife had a kabob and bulger wheat. This was also pretty bland and she could not eat the bulger wheat at all. I don't think we will be back. The prices for today's costs was pretty good and reasonable. Bob K read more

Outstanding food and service! Lived in the Middle East. This is the best Mediterranean I've had since being back home.

Authentic Turkish food. Clean and good ambience with great service. I would definitely recommend trying Turkish Pizza(Lahmacun) and mixed appetizers plate. I will be back with the family. read more

Slow food, guys drinking water while preparing for the food. Lack of food safety and customer service. Two delivery guys are waiting for like 20 minutes and I don't see anyone talking to them. Absolutely shameful and pathetic. Also, I'm reporting to food safety and Douglas county health department. read more

Wanted to love it and tried some new to us foods, but in the end it wasn't to our liking. Price was good, we ordered takeout, which was quick. Doesn't seem right to knock the rating just because we ordered wrong. read more

The first time I ordered delivery, it was perfect. Literally perfect. The second time, my gyro was smothered in so much sauce that it was soggy and unappetizing. Not sure if this was from them being busy or what but the consistency is NOT there as far as I'm concerned. Despite that the meat is amazing and well seasoned. read more

What are amazing place really good food very good ambience and service don't believe other bad reviews. They usually order from online and probably they waited for long time because of drivers and they got cold food and they complain about the place that's not right and go there and eat there. You will be happy. read more

The food was pretty good but it was dirty in the restaurant and there isn't good ventilation because my closed smelled like smoke when we got home. I think they need to do a better job maintaining the place. read more

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill - The inside of the restaurant - Turkish Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

This was a terrible restaurant. To clarify, I have been here a few times before and it's not mind blowing Afghan food, but it's okay. Today, however, was the first day of their new ownership. There was one female server taking care of the entire restaurant and I'm assuming no more than 2 cooks, if that, in the back. We were a party of 6 (typically how many people when I eat out with family). Had we known the food would take 1+ hrs to come out post ordering, we would've skipped. The food eventually came out stone cold. My Dad mentioned this to the server who offered to microwave his--and anyone else's who had cold food (all of us). I passed because 1.) that is just comical. We're paying an upward of $20 per meal. and 2.) I had salad on my plate and didn't want that to be warm. I also want to add that tables all over were dirty and had food on it because there was 1 server serving 5 tables. The tables were also way too close together. The server noticed that we were having a pretty miserable time so she took 25% off our bill. She was incredibly sweet and tried her best. It's not her fault management sucks. Will never go here again lol. Also their "beef shawarma" and "greek gyro" are the same thing. read more

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill - Hummus shawarma platter - Turkish Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

Both takeout and dine-in are phenomenal. I have enjoyed everything I've had here, and I have tried a lot. Koobideh is my favorite food ever, and they nailed it. It's hard to find good koobideh in CO, and even more so being within walking distance from my home! I've had most of the appetizers - hummus, baba ghannoush, tabbouleh, it's all great. The garlic sauce is tangy and delicious. Baklava is always a hit. Really love this place - nothing but rave reviews here! read more
