Zytoon restaurant, a hidden gem in the heart of North West London. This cozy eatery serves up authentic Middle Eastern cuisine with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a cozy ambiance, with plush seating and vibrant decor that transports you to the bustling streets of Beirut. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff eager to guide you through the extensive menu. We ordered the Mixed Grill, which was cooked to perfection, with tender lamb, chicken, and beef that simply fell apart. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was impressive. The falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, served with a side of creamy tahini sauce. The standout dish, however, was the Machboos - a flavorful rice dish infused with aromatic spices and succulent chicken. Each bite was a masterclass in flavor and texture. For dessert, we indulged in the Baklava, which was crunchy, sweet, and utterly addictive. The rosewater syrup added a delightful floral note that complemented the honey perfectly. Overall, Zytoon Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in London. With its warm atmosphere, attentive service, and mouth-watering dishes, it's a culinary gem that's sure to leave you wanting more. Rating: 4.5/5 stars Price: Moderate (15-25 per person) Recommended for: Foodies, couples, and families looking for a unique dining experience. Will we return? Absolutely! We're already planning our next visit.

I had a wonderful experience at Zeytoon! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent, special shoutout to one of the owners, a lovely lady who added such a personal and welcoming touch to the whole experience. The food was fantastic. If you're visiting in a group of 3-4 people and want to sample a variety of dishes, I highly recommend ordering the Special Platter (I can’t recall the exact name, but it started with "Special"). It offered a generous and delicious mix that really gave us a taste of everything. They also served a great tea that perfectly complemented the meal, fragrant and soothing. While I personally didn’t enjoy the Baghlavas as much, everything else more than made up for it. Overall, a great dining experience, definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to others!

Definitely a hidden gem... I loved the Eid decor, really created a welcoming environment.. thanks to the incredible staff who were very kind and attentive; made sure we had all that we needed as we came as a group of 10. Food was delicious and probably one of best Persian restaurants I've been to! I will be back and the place is absolutely stunning - thank you!

A Hidden Gem for Persian Cuisine and Exceptional Hospitality I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Zeytoon this afternoon! One of the biggest concerns when dining out with a young child who has allergies is ensuring that the restaurant takes those needs seriously. From the start, the staff at Zaytoon were incredibly understanding and reassuring. They took the time to go over the menu with us, explaining which dishes contained allergens and offering alternative options. The chef was also consulted to confirm our child’s dietary restrictions and ensured a fresh meal that was both safe and absolutely delicious. It is rare to find a restaurant that not only accommodates allergies but does so with such care and attention to detail. Now, let’s talk about the food—because it was nothing short of spectacular! The menu was extensive and truly authentic, featuring a wide variety of Persian dishes that showcased rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. From the perfectly seasoned koobideh kebabs to the fragrant saffron rice and the beautifully slow-cooked stews, everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. We appreciated the variety of vegetarian and meat-based options. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was spotless and well-maintained. The toilets were clean—a detail that often gets overlooked but makes a huge difference when dining out, especially with a child. You could tell that hygiene and customer comfort were a priority. Another wonderful surprise was that the restaurant was able to provide a quiet space for prayer. This thoughtful accommodation made us feel even more welcome and valued as guests. It’s rare to find a place that not only offers great food but also respects and caters to cultural and religious needs. Overall they have mastered the art of blending authentic Persian flavors with top-tier service, making every guest feel cared for. If you’re looking for a restaurant that goes above and beyond—whether for allergy-friendly dining, an extensive and traditional menu—this is the place to go. We will be back!
