    Soltani
    Trevor H.

    I visited Zeitoon Cafe today for a professional lunch with two colleagues, and we were seated immediately without a reservation. The space is very inviting, offering a cozy atmosphere with a mix of floor seating and booths that feels both comfortable and unique. Our waitress was fantastic--attentive without being intrusive, regularly refilling our cups and checking in to see if we needed anything. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary soup to start, which had a genuinely homemade, comforting feel. I ordered the Soltani, and it did not disappoint: the ground beef kabob was incredibly flavorful and practically melted in my mouth, while the steak was good, though slightly tough. The rice and grilled tomato were a perfect accompaniment known that tied the whole dish together nicely. Everyone in our group was very pleased with their meals, and I'll definitely be back and recommending Zeitoon Cafe to friends.

    The Persian tea was exceptional!

    I really wanted to love this place. Actually, I called a month in advance to reserve a table because it was a special family dinner. We traveled far. Walked in the place, it was empty. Half of the restaurant was being renovated. People were working on the remodel as we dined. I am sure it will be nice. We ordered quite a bit of food, what we got was the perplexing part. They brought a delicious barley soup, no explanation, but was nice. 3 of the 5 things we ordered were incorrect. I mean really? We were the only people in the restaurant! So many people checked on us to see if it was ok. I was embarrassed for them. The koobideh was fantastic but we ordered two mix- we really wanted to try the chicken. Fesenjun is delicious, I have never had with beef before, usually is chicken. The yogurt was good, needed a tad bit of salt. The gormeh sabzi never came, instead we got an eggplant curd, which was good but.... Overall good food but such a strange experience. We so bad wanted a great Persian family meal on a Friday night. Nonetheless, this place is a gem for the area. Try it, I hear they are adding Afghan food to their menu when the remodel is done.

    Beef Koobideh Kabob

    Unique flavors, seemed like the beef was marinated in yogurt, and the rice was spiced nicely. David took our order and he was very helpful, and kept our drinks filled. The food comes out of the kitchen just like the photos. Very few people were here during lunch, so if you want a quiet place to have a conversation, this could be the spot. First time having Persian food, will be back for sure.

    Absolutely love the food! Zeitoon will definitely be a place we will be returning! My family will love this place.

    Such a lovely little Persian restaurant that deserves some attention! Everyone who works here was so nice and attentive to all the customers' needs. The dishes came out quickly and the portions are huge! Inside is decorated well and had some calming music playing in the background. Now onto the food: this was my first time having Persian food, but I came with my brother and his wife who eat Persian food often. I'd definitely get some appetizers! The shallot yogurt dip was surprisingly so refreshing and flavorful, and you can't go wrong with any of the eggplant dips! Next time we come, we'll get the hummus! For the main entrees, we got 2 lamb and 1 beef dish. The lamb shank was SO tender and every bit of it was covered in flavor. The seasoned rice and sauce with carrots were the perfect pairing to the lamb. The beef kabob we got was also so so tender and packed with flavor. I've never had beef that tender and I will definitely order this every time I come. I loved the addition of the tomatoes and onions on the side. We also saved some of our dips to eat with the meat which I'd highly recommend. Oh and the barley chicken soup!! What a great way to start off our meal. A bowl of soup comes with each entree and it's one of the most comforting bowl of soup you'll ever taste! Overall, come here with a group! Everyone will love it and it's the perfect intimate setting so everyone can chat and enjoy a meal together.

    Lamb shank
    Quinn N.

    Zeitoon welcomed us with a very chill dinner vibe on a Friday night. We had eggplant dip, beef kabob and lamb shank. Generally we felt like dishes could be more salty, but then we also realized that allowed us to finish the whole dish without the need to chug a gallon of water. I do wish it's a little bit more flavorful with spices; I could taste hints of spice but it definitely didn't hit me. Eggplant dip is ok, the bread that went with it was not warm. Lamb shank was great, very tender, the sauce that went with it is delicious 10/10, the rice was fragrant but I hoped it would be more tender. Beef kabob was very tender, the grilled tomatoes that went with it was a little bland. At the beginning the service was slow and a bit confusing, but towards the end of the meal we got a lot more attention from another staff, which helped us leave earlier with a baby. As a new mom, I appreciate the women bathroom having a diaper change station. The place also had children's play area as well.

    Truly authentic and delicious Persian food. We get kabobs from here on a regular basis and are always satisfied. The service, dining area, and market are all great too. Highly recommend!

    The food was good and reasonably priced for the ingredients used, the atmosphere was fantastic and very unique, and the service was top notch! Would absolutely recommend!

    Freshly baked barbari bread w/o sesame & it tastes better with the sesame they add to it...My favorite sour cherry jam from their store!!

    I'm late on posting my review but receiving some of my favorite goodies from Zeitoon Market were a reminder that I'm way overdue from posting my review for this great, and clean Middle Eastern Market in Midvale Utah...They carry all your middle eastern needs from Persian cucumbers to fruits, vegetables, spices and etc. We love their barbari bread which they make in their store, and even ask them to make ours without sesame but most people enjoy them with the sesame on them which is the way they normally bake them... They carry all kinds of Persian goodies/snacks, like my favorite little lavashak (dried sour fruits similar to fruit roll ups) which are wrapped into a little candy wrap which makes them easier to eat... They are soft, juicy and sour just like the way I love them, and their sour cherry jam is a must try!!!! They are adhering to all COVID-19 guidelines which is great and they require that you wear a mask inside their store, and they even have disposable gloves you can use upon entering their store... They also have warm Persian food like kabob wraps and other dishes which they make at the market..

They have a good selection of spices, rice, ghee, beans, tahini, and Indian snack food. They have a refrigerated/frozen section with paneer and some meat, and a small amount of beauty products as well. Prices are reasonable, and if you do buy spices they are sold by the bag, so as long as you'll use it all they are a great deal. Most of the time it is the same guy at the cash register who helps me and he is really friendly, but yesterday I visited and there was no one out front, although I could hear people working in the back. A man came out and looked at me, but didn't say anything, and went right back to the stock room. I was actually looking for a specific spice, but ended up leaving empty handed because I couldn't find it (that's another thing, their organization is a bit haphazard, especially when it comes to the spices). This is the first time that's happened, but it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I have no doubt I'll be back, but most likely I'll check other stores first in the future. Oh, and just a note, it is a small store, and on the weekends it can get packed. There is only one cash register, so if you see a lot of cars in the lot I'd come back, otherwise you might wait 15 or 20 minutes to check out.

    Great Middle Eastern market! How about 4.8 stars?…read more I'm taking off 0.2 stars off of a perfect score only for a nitpick observation that lighting in the store could be better. Lots of authentic middle eastern groceries. Got some Aleppo chili peppers which is not available anywhere. Also got some Turkish yogurt. Got some real lavash, which was actually thin lavash. Great for shwarma and wraps. Got some orange blossom ice cream. Delicious! Tried middle eastern brand of orange soda. Refreshing! I had to exercise self-discipline and not buy some authentic Turkish delights. Will get them the next time. The owner lady was very friendly and helpful. Look for them on the corner of the lower level of an apartment building. Absolutely worth the visit. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
