The location is a bit hard to find around side of the main buildings, it's a small place with tables and kinda a old style mom and pop place and that's pretty much how service is. I am guessing the owners are nice and they seem to be doing there best to serve people and cook at the same time. I would suggest ordering online and picking up, food pricing is about right, some of the drinks not so much and they are not geared towards high volume of orders. You start by using one of the 2 touch screens to order, and then grab a spot to sit. Out food came out pretty fast, but I saw some of the online order pickup places sitting at tables waiting on orders for 10 to 15 mins. The food was good, not bad , not great, but did the job. The rice didn't seem to be the standard rice I was used to being served. The 2.95 for a soda a bit of a sting for me and they had a mix of some other food types, not sure why they had pasta options. Would I go back and order Yes, over all not bad and I would almost say if they were located in a better location, they would do much better biz, but not sure if they could handle that much. Also, they don't have ice, again a smaller mom and pop style place, so if your not into glamping, I suggest to order to go !! I tried the Lamb and Beef Skewers.. read more

I don't like to write reviews like this, but was really hoping, based on some reviews by others, this place was going to be better! I know this restaurant took over the "Birria taco" place that used to there (and they were not much better-at least they had good service). As soon as you walk in, you can see the open windows to the kitchen (which the other place had, but it looks like they put glass in it, so you can "pass thru" food like other place did). I saw a few people sitting at one of the long tables, and figured they were getting served. I looked around and saw the Juice machines to the right and a couple of large order type screens. Did not see any type of hostess stand (like last place had). I waited a few min and nobody came out from back or anything, and then, I saw, behind a large sign, somebody was sitting in a chair. It was a older gentlemen, and I said "I have a couple questions about your menu" (* I found info thru here, to find out what they had). Now, you would think, at this point, he would have got up and wanted to aide me and be a "little excited" to have a customer''...nope. He continued to sit in the chair and answered my questions. I asked if he took the order and he replied "No, you order off screens over there, and we will let you know when ready". Ok...very weird. I should have left then, but still thought I would give it a try. While I waited at the table, the group that was sitting, had a couple more people join then, and realized nobody was coming to "wait on them". So, one of them, did as I did, approached the guy in the chair, and asked how to order, and he replied the same. Again, weird. Then, a person came in, think to pick up an order (like thru Door Dash or something), and the guy was in the kitchen helping the one cook they had...you could see thru the window. The lady was was holding her phone and kept looking around to see if there was a spot for "pick up". She tried to approach the kitchen "door (like half swinging door) and both of the them never looked up. Finally, the guy came out with my food and she said she was there for a "pick up" and he told her, "just a few more mintutes". When I got home, and actually tried the food, it did not get better. I got hummus and pita bread. The hummus had not much flavor, with oil and couple of chick peas on top (did not help). The pita bread was very thin and flat and cut into small triangles. My husband got the two chicken kabobs (*one was cut chicken and one was ground chicken) with rice....both were just ok. I had the Two Beef Koobideh Skewers, and was dry and not much flavor. The rice, I had to add Siracha to, as it was dry too. I am sorry, but with many other Mediterranean restaurants in the area, I won't be back to this one :(! read more

Small little place, with self ordering kiosk only. Atmosphere was very simple. We went in for lunch and we are satisfied with food and flavor. We ordered the spicy chicken kabob lunch platter, lamb & chicken platter, spicy hummus and the falafel. Chicken kabob was very good and the rice was cooked to perfection with standard falvor. Lamb kabob was juicy and tender. For us the Highlight was the spicy hummus which extremely flavorful, spicy and goood. Falafel was ok, a little dense. Pita tasted fine. read more

I'm always excited when a new restaurant a little out of the ordinary opens in my area. In this case, it was a little far from my neighborhood, but Mediterranean and Persian food holds a special place in my heart and taste buds. And with all the bad things happening in the world, I was happy to patron a Persian place. The place is not one you will find by accident, it's a bit hidden in a mixed business area next to a church and some car mechanic place. Inside is simple, with a few tables, some communal, some not. They put two tablets in the front to order, and they work well and have easy to understand pictures of the food. That way, they don't need a host stand or a waiter which helps keep costs down. In the back, 3 men are busy cooking the food and bring it to your table. We tried 4 things. Mast-o-khiar, which is the cucumber yogurt salad. Very refreshing. Kashkeh Bademjan, which is an Iranian dish with eggplant and various other things. This was delicious and my wife's favorite. Two Beef Koobideh Skewers Lamb Koobideh Skewer Both skewers were nice and tender, well seasoned and served with a beautiful long grain rice and 2 roasted tomatoes. My favorite was the lamb. In the table, you have sumac to add flavor of you need it. Overall, a very pleasant lunch. We will be back. read more

If i could give this place a 10 star I would. Super nice people and really delicious food! We ordered a family meal pack for 18 people consisting of Chicken skewers, rice, salad, hummus, Tziziki sauce, and pita bread to be delivered. They were accommodating when Inasked to push it out an hour later because our games ran be phone schedule. Delivery was a mess because it was a confusing venue to deliver to, but he insisted on getting the food into my hands safely. Food was delicious!!! Chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Everyone loved the food! Thank you so much for feeding our team!!! read more

This is some of the best Persian food I have ever had! The meat is of top quality, the owners have the best service! They make you feel at home. This mom and pop shop is definitely a hidden gem! The owner used to have a massive restaurant in California, we are so lucky to have them here! I may even say it's the best Mediterranean/Persian restaurant in all of Austin...! read more

BEST Mediterranean food I have had in a long time! Everything tasted so good, so fresh! The service was outstanding! Will definitely be back again... Would of posted pics but we all finished so fast before we could think of taken pics lol read more

Really good, casually served Persian favorites at reasonable prices. The Chef Owner served us himself and he was most helpful explaining the menu items that we had questions about.The place is nice little cafe on the end of an industrial strip center. We tried the Lunch Special Chicken and it was delicious, the Rice was as good as the bird. and it was served quickly. We look forward to our next return visit. Give them a try! read more

You absolutely must try Zeytun. Everything is authentic. The kabobs are huge and delicious. I loved the chicken. All of the food was made fresh. The tzatziki and hummus are so good! The owner is so kind and explained all of the dishes to us and made recommendations on what to order. The portions were very generous with plenty to share on the lunch specials. Will definitely be back. The dining room accommodates large and small groups and is kid friendly. read more

Zeytun - Tzatziki and hummus - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Leander, Texas

Ordered pickup because saw it was new place nearby. But didn't like it too much, food was bland and won't be back. We got gyro, two kabob plates and a salad. One of the salads had a bitter cucumber in it. I wish it had olives. The gyro wasn't very good. The rice didn't have much flavor. Kids liked the kabobs though. read more

This looked so promising but overall it was really lacking in flavor and the meat was dry. I ordered the family meal for 6 for pickup with chicken kabob and beef koobideh. The only part of this that had flavor was the hummus. Maybe trying it again for dine-in would be better? read more

Awesome food Real Persian taste Nice people Big portions Super welcoming Highly recommended read more

I had a great experience with a takeout order from Zeytun Mediterranean Grill. I ordered the beef koobideh which was incredibly tender and flavorful. It came with rice and tomato garnish. I also ordered the hummus and pita; everything tasted very fresh. The portions are generous--I definitely have enough left over for a second meal! My order was ready quickly, and the restaurant itself is very roomy with charming tea cup decorations. I'll definitely be back! read more

Owner Bob always welcome every guest with a smile. Spicy chicken koobidehs are very delicious. Wraps are great and lamb shank (which is only available on certain days) is perfectly cooked and awesome. I haven't dined in but ambiance looks nice. read more

If you're a fan of Persian cuisine, then Zeytun is an absolute must-try! Having grown up with Persian food, I've sampled all the spots in the Austin area, and Zeytun truly stands out, especially for their Koobedeh kabobs. They also offer three types of amazing homemade fresh drinks. I love their thick flavorful yogurt drink called Dough. The quality of the food is exceptional, and the prices are fantastic. The chef, Roberto (also known as Firooz), brings over 40 years of experience and a rich family legacy in the restaurant business, having owned multiple Persian restaurants in Los Angeles and Italy. I promise it's worth every mile for the authentic Italian and Persian dishes that await you! Food, Value, Service, and Atmosphere, all 5 STARS! read more

The kabobs here were absolutely delicious--everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The service was excellent, and the staff was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Such a great, casual spot--we're really happy to have more options for Iranian food! Even the kids loved it, especially the chicken Alfredo. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to! read more

Delicious wraps, Kabobs, and hummus with pita bread. Enjoyed the watermelon juice with my meal. Give it a try.

This place is fabulous. The food is fresh, flavorful, and fast. You really feel like part of the family when you come here -- there are large tables and you feel like you're at your aunt's house. We got the lunch special for 4 which included hummus, tzatziki, pita, salad, chicken and beef, plus rice. We also got to try the fresh cucumber mint apple juice. We were all full, plus took food home. Great value, great people! A local gem. read more

We enjoyed the food, we got a beef and chicken family pack with some sides. We did feel like it needed more salt and zest like lemon, just a little more seasoning and it would be perfect. (I know this is a personal opinion, though.) The owners were super nice and personable, I enjoyed their hospitality. I really liked the chicken kabob, it had a nice kick to it! Also a plus for the portion sizes too! read more

Wow, this order looked amazing when it got here after 30 minute drive it was still hot and fresh wrapped really well. Great packaging. Unfortunately I didn't have any flavor of the fettuccine had no flavor at all almost like they put no cheese on it. Feel like there was no seasoning or salt. Damn close to being amazing read more

Stopped in after reading about the stores opening in the local paper. The food was fresh and felt homemade. The chicken kabobs I got for lunch had a deep marinade that made every bite juicy and flavorful. Not only was the food tasty, but the customer service was superb, felt like I was getting everything taken care of the second I walked in! I will definitely be returning to Zeytun's restaurant in the near future. read more

Zeytun - Chicken Kabob Lunch Special - Persian/Iranian Near Me - Leander, Texas

I order Combo Kabob plate. It was missing the salad. Hummus came in 2oz plastic container filled a lil more than halfway. It was homemade though & great taste!. Same for yogurt sauce! Chicken kabobs appeared to be half the amount of what the pic online displayed but flavor was good. Beef koobideh wasn't as flavorful, just ok. Pita bread didn't appear to be homemade. Falafel was very flavorful but I noticed 2 in the middle hiding half the size as the outer few..I was surprised at the small portions for almost 40$. I woukd overall give it a 3 star. read more

The food is soo good! Great casual dine in spot or to go. The food is so fresh and the portions are awesome!

Perfect foods and costumer service, awesome koobideh kebab. very friendly chef (firouz)

I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was absolutely delicious and every dish was packed with flavor. The serving sizes were very generous, which made it even better. Mediterranean food is what I was raised on and the flavors truly felt like home to me, authentic, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. Everything we tried was fantastic and you can really tell care goes into the food. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone!! read more

We went there during soft opening. Oh boy, we were in for a treat with the family pack we ordered - 4 kebab skeweres, rice, hummus and tzatziki, with complementary salad(not sure if this will remain after the grand opening) Juicy chicken kebabs were with fresh meat and authentic persian flavors that melt in your mouth. The lamb koobideh were my son's favorite along with tzatziki. I dont like the smell of lamb, gamey texture but these kebabs did not have either, Once again tasting fresh and flavored just right without overpowering the meat. Probably the first place i loved the lamb kebabs. Hummus was also good and fresh, you can tell when they don't add a ton of lime to keep it fresh for long. One would think what is there to say about rice but still cooking rice that doesn't stick and separates like pearls is not an easy task which mediterranean restaurants accomplish through quality and precise process. We also had leftovers to take home for dinner. The owner was kind to givve some extra tzatziki sauce and pita complimentary since my son complimented that he really liked. Last but not the least, friendly and nice owner who takes pride in the quality and taste of food he serves, but also open to feedback. Nice friendly mom and pop shop ambience. read more
