Visiting on business from Phoenix, Arizona, and only in town for one night, I wanted to support a small business instead of going somewhere corporate. Zeytin ended up being such a fantastic find! I was originally planning to order my usual gyro plate, but my server, Tanner (I know there's a Turkish version of the name and it's escaping me!), took the time to chat with me and walk me through the different dishes on the menu. Thanks to his recommendations and kindness, I decided on the Doner Kebab Plate -- and oh my goodness, the flavor was absolutely incredible. Beyond the amazing food, Tanner was warm, welcoming, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions. That level of hospitality really made the experience memorable. 10/10 -- I'll absolutely be back the next time I visit! read more

We got a few dishes from this Turkish restaurant and were really impressed. The restaurant is placed right along a canal and has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a wide menu even including other cultures including biryani. Everything we ordered was very fresh and flavorful. The meat was seasoned wonderfully and the chicken was cooked well. read more

The food was good, the babaganoush wasn't anything special, overpriced. The chicken & gyro plate were great portion sizes so that's a win! It's a little expensive for the sides but other than that good place to eat. The service was fine & the tables were clean. read more

Wasn't impressed. To make what could be a long review simple. Was walking distance from my hotel, so super convenient for me. It was dead in here, and should be it was a Sunday night at 8 pm. But you'd figure you would have some nice food? Right? Ordered the hummus plate to start and it was really forgetful. Pita was dry and not great. The hummus itself was very forgetful and I feel immediately after this was splaced my main course showed up. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Space them out a little. What's the rush? I was literally one of 3 people in the restaurant. The meat from my gyro plate was very dry. You eat with your eyes and it wasn't appetizing. Overall, maybe it was an off night. But I don't think I'll come back even if it was an off night. read more

Been many years since my last visit to Zeytin and not for any particular reason as I recall enjoying it last time, too! The hummus was not only visually appealing, but also tasted great! As I was eating the Zeytin Kebab (house special), I realized pretty quickly it was exactly what I (aka "creature of habit") ordered last time! And just like last time I remember thinking it was just a bit too "tomato saucy" tasting for my personal taste. I didn't realize (both times) that "tomato" on the menu description meant "sauce" instead of grilled pieces alongside the meal. Also if there was "butter on top", I totally missed that part. Not horrible, but I'll definitely be trying something different next time. Service was great. Friendly. Somewhat slow, but I think we hit a shift change. Atmosphere nice. The patio overlooking the (small amount of) water might be nice on cooler days or after the sun goes down. Today it didn't really look all that inviting and maybe not even open. Definitely worth a visit! read more

this place is pretty good I ordered a few things via Uber eats : 1) borek cigar - pretty good but I think that it would be best to eat it hot right when it comes out . 3.6/5 2) kibbeh - I do prefer the version with a thinner wrap and not rice but it was still pretty good . The accompanying garlic sauce was great (3.9/5) 3) iskindar- this is one of my favourite Turkish cuisine dishes . It was ok here - a little bit too dry (3.6/5) A descent Turkish food option here in Arlington read more

Customer service was excellent, splitting 8 bills and serving the food quickly. The restaurant was fancy looking and is good for large parties or romantic couples. The price for food was reasonable, yet quality of food definitely can improve. My order of Zeytin kebab was drier than expected, which led me to asking for more tomato sauce. The Turkish coffee was very ground and not fine. Even with sweets, the coffee was more bitter than what I had in Turkey. read more

Zeytin Mediterranean Grill - Ordered takeout through Grubhub! Great spot! Food came in hot too!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Beautiful atmosphere. Good amount of parking. Lots of natural light. They serve wine!! Overlooking some water and nature but still close to lots of other businesses and main roads. -craving hummus so I picked the first place that came up--what a great surprise to find this place! -the inside is very well done, has a stone wall and other decor that truly feels like I'm in the Mediterranean. Service: was great! I got here right when they opened, so I ordered my food at the counter. Not sure if I was supposed to wait at my table LOL but I was able to pay right away. I got my drink and appetizer very quickly. -not on the menu, but I got a chicken shawarma plate. It was AWESOME! everything was colorful and felt healthy and fresh. -came with chicken, -pickled pink veggies(I think cabbage and beet) -rice (so good, I always run out!) -and a cucumber/tomato salad. I also ordered French fries and an order of hummus. -I should have specified to get the fries closer to when I got my entree because I ate half of them right away, also very delicious. -the order of hummus was good. My friend got pita from here one time and it was softer than the one I had today. As soon as it cooled off/room temperature, it became hard and chewy. Thank you!! Will have to come back! read more

Excellent service and fantastic food! They have great prices, I came for lunch and they have such a kind staff and also really good dessert!

Im stopping in the middle of my dessert to post. Highly recommend. You will arrive to a welcoming and warm staff. Cleaniness is a 10. Service a 10. Meals were fresh and satisfying. We sat outside on a beautiful sunny yet cool, soon to be , fall day. We opted for dessert, Baklava with coffee, inside while we completed our business meeting. I acknowledged the chef and waitress attended to each individual with equal genuine customer service. My new spot to fill my Mediterranean craving. Menu items ordered: Greek salad (small fed two people added chicken), Beef Kabobs, Tzatziki dip, Baklava with coffee read more

We ate here for the first time Friday night and they blew our socks off! Food was incredible and the waitress was so helpful in picking out some new things to try. She recommended one of the desserts that amazing. So glad we found this place and as an added bonus it's only 4 minutes away from Toyota Music Factory so a great place to come eat before a concert!! read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon. I had heard about this Middle Eastern in the past. It is tucked away with some other businesses there at 114 and O'Conner. Upon sitting down and reviewing the menu, I realized it was Turkish Cuisine. We started with The Calamari. It was crispy and not too oily. We also had The Hummus. It was definitely fresh. The Shephard Salad was also tasty. We ended up splitting the Kofte Kebab. It was made of ground beef. It came in patties instead of the traditional skewers. It was grilled to perfection. The grilled Tomatoes and Zucchini were so good that we asked for another side. We finished our meal with the fresh made Baklava. The service was good, the restaurant was clean, and the food was tasty. We will come again. read more

this place is great, if you have any questions, just ask Roberto he is wonderful and will take to explain flavors. The meat is amazing the spices are spot on, i haven't had anything that i wouldn't order again, i haven't indulged in any disserts yet. read more

Came here for a quick lunch post-seminar and was not disappointed. The shawarma meat is very tender and moist. It came with a side of pita, hummus, and a pickled vegetable salad. The hummus was not gritty and the pita was light and fluffy. The vegetables were not overly briny or acidic, but a nice addition to an otherwise heavier lunch. read more

This place was a surprise hit. the flavors are THERE. the ONLY thing i disliked about this place was the pita bread...too chewy. either go crispy or really soft. but everything else was awesome! really spacious interior seating and decorated nicely in a nice part of town. server was very kind and explained everything well and kept our water filled. baba ghanoush was delicious. the chicken kebab was astounding. zeytin main entree (can't remember the name but it was like in a wrap or something) was really interesting with equally delicious flavors. generous portion too as i took some to go, and it was soooo good after. really loved all the smoky flavors that weren't too heavy or greasy. just flavorful! i wouldn't recommend the butter chicken, that definitely was kind of....just on the menu to fill it out. read more

I placed a pickup order for several items but honestly, everything lacked flavor. I ordered the pita with hummus and the hummus had no flavor at all. Zero!! None! The falafels also lacked flavor so I really think this business needs to go back to the drawing board and focus on flavor and spices...something! The chicken rice dish I ordered was okay but again, it needed a little love and more spices and flavor because it was bland. When I went to pick up my order, not a sole was in there and I felt bad because it's a nice place (a little hot inside though...they need to turn the a/c on) but I hope they do well and make the few minor changes they need to make to be more flavorful . read more

Great food and great service. Loved the hummus and the gyro plate. Will definitely be back.

The food here is really really really good Turkish food. The coffee is legit. The baklawa is to die for. Recommend literally everything on their menu. I've never had a bad dish. Good for takeout or to dine in. Great service as well. read more

The falafel was great as well as the gyro, everything on our plates was fantastic!! I will definitely be back next time I come to Texas! read more

BEWARE of RAW chicken getting served!! We enjoyed food in this restaurant on many occasions! My very recent visit was awful & ruined my appetite & made me sick for two days!!! Stewardess was friendly & very attentive absolutely no complains on them and definitely food was tasty from my past experience. This time I was served UNCOOKED CHICKEN, like they seemed cooked from the outside but inside it was RAW!!! This was my first time ordering chicken kebabs here!! So I got this to the notice of the stewardess and she took it to the manager & he was a total ASS about it & said he cooked it to perfection!!! THAT WAS RUDE!! You could be the cook with years of experience and some time SHIT happens!!! He doesn't have the courtesy to check but has the bitchy attitude to tell that chicken was cooked to the perfection!!! Thinking about it just angers me so much!!! THAT GUY IN THE CAP SHOULD NOT BE WORKING!!!! HE SHOULD GO TO KEBABS-TOGO & learn how to cook kebabs!!! That's unhygienic & unhealthy !!! It's not beef or pork to consume raw, tender and juicy!!! It could give people SALMONELLA!!! That's the bottom line!!! Uncooked food is one thing and the way the manager com chef addressed is another!!! SO BE AWARE THAT YOU MIGHT GET UNCOOKED MEAT AND CAN ALSO GET SALMONELLA! AND STILL GOT CHARGED FOR THE UNCOOKED MEAT IS THE TOP OF THE CAKE!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE !!! read more

I was super curious to cleanse my palate with a Mediterranean meal. Zeytin is a sit down restaurant. I did not have a problem placing a to-go order. I asked the server what is popular and he said everything. For my inaugural visit, I ordered the falafel plate. The falafel and rice was the proper hit temp. Of course, the hummus and salad provided balance with a cool temp. Can't wait to try more of the yummy foods other yelpers posted. read more

Zeytin Mediterranean Grill - Falafel Plate to-go - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Deliciously fresh Turkish spot with the best service. We've been back every time we pass through Irving, we always look for Vini as our server - just a highly educated and informative server with a sweet spirit. In terms of entrees, we enjoy the zeytin kebab, doner kebab, lamb beyti kebab and, for dessert, we always order the piping hot kunefe and Turkish coffee. We also find the Turkish tea and the red wine here (highly recommend a glass of the kavaklidere okuzgozu) more uniquely interesting beverage options. One very special note - any menu questions, just ask for Vivian, who develops the recipes and is an absolute gem of hospitality. read more

Always love getting lunch here. Their weekday lunch specials are good deals. I always get their chicken shawarma lunch plate. Their chicken are always flavorful. Comes with rice that is cooked nicely and with a fresh salad. I also enjoy their hummus. Plenty of oil and seasoning on it. They give a good amount with their delicious pita breads made from their oven. However they sometimes burn it when they reheat them but it's not that bad. Service is always phenomenal here. And food comes out quick. Perfect for when I need to eat before work: The portion is a a good amount. It's enough for my lunch and dinner. Other dishes I've had from this place for dinner are the doner kebab plate and the chicken sautée plate. So much flavor and smells absolutely delicious. The blends of spices and seasoning is perfect. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Zeytin Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

The service is great. Typical Greek/Turkish Mediterranean food. Lunch is best especially when they make their fresh pita in the wood oven.

The place was busy. I never been here before. The ordering process was confusing as there wasn't an employee that was directing anyone to sit down and get your order taken or if you order at the counter. Finally just grabbed a menu and saw that other people were ordering at the counter. So I just followed them. The place had an interesting vibe. Had character but a lot of mom and pop decor that looked dated and didn't go with the Mediterranean feel. There was dust built up on the ceiling tiles and the lights were turned off so only natural light was coming in. Seemed low budget. My food came quick but without utensils. So I had to go search for my own. Surprise they were back up by the counter and it is plastic utensils??? The gyro meat had a skin on it, possibly from being cooked too long. Not enough sauce on the meal to give the fries flavor. I wound up not eating all of my food and leaving as it was poor quality and a bad experience overall. I would not come back. read more

Zeytin Mediterranean Grill - Gyro Box - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Zeytin offers some delectable Mediterranean dishes guaranteed to make you salivate just by feasting your eyes upon their dishes. I could kick myself thinking about how many wasted opportunities I had to sample the food while in the area. The hummus was not coarse or grainy, but rather smooth and easily spreadable over pita. Perfexted with some olive oil and paprika to round off. The doner kebab wrap was satisfying and filling. The meat was moist, juicy and tender. The rice bowl I elected for included chicken shawarma. The meat was not dry, but just right and spiced to perfection, with dare I say, a hint of heat just to intrigue your palate. Finished things off with a portion of the kanefeh, a sweet dish comprised in this case of semolina noodles encasing creamy cheese, and a smattering of crushed nuts. I'd recommend Zeytin if you're in the area, and looking for your Mediterranean fix. read more

I will definitely be coming here more often when I'm at work. Located between the Starbucks and the Chipotle, is this little restaurant serving up some tasty Mediterranean meals. I ordered the falafel plate to go, which came with rice, 4 falafels, a good deal of hummus, a bit of salad and a pita bread for about $13. I was really impressed, I must say. I've been eating so much Mediterranean food lately and this was one that really stood out because the price seemed to match what you got and everything was fresh and didn't taste like it was sitting out for an hour. The server who took my to go order was also super sweet. I'll have to go back for their meat dishes and give an update. read more

I tried this brunch restaurant which opened a couple weeks ago. The restaurant had a crowd but I was seated right away. My server was very attentive and brought out complimentary bread and olives which were very delicious. There is an extensive menu with mostly breakfast/brunch options as well as some lunch options. I tried the Zeytin Benedict which was excellent and the side of fresh fruit was very good as well. The restaurant itself is very charming. I recommend trying this place out. read more
