One of my favorite lebanese restaurants in Abu Dhabi.

Have you been to Zaytinya Restaurant in Abu Dhabi? Do you know that they offer a generous spread of buffer apart from the delicious ala’carte menu?Well we stumbled upon their Saturday brunch, which was so quite generous & fulfilling. I love the range of dishes, which is quite creative, varied, and have excellent food. It was a pleasant surprise on its own to find two to three rice dishes in an overall compact yet a very practical size buffet and all of them were supple and delicious.Kids have ample choice munching on their 3 flavors and color styled pasta along with yummy desserts. Curries were delicious too..

I tried it yesterday and loved the food. Very tasty and cooked fresh. My son loved his food as well. There’s a nice feel for the place. The only thing I didn’t quite like was the lady who served us the food was so miserable and looked so unhappy almost like she hated serving us. The other guys were very welcoming and considering the food was so yummy I’ll oversee that and would definitely go back.

This restaurant is located in al seef village mall we enjoyed lebanon food was rich in taste n quality was high 👌will visit again inshallah

Loved food in here. Good service. And quite.

Delicious food , friendly staff, nice seating.

Zaytinya serves the authentic and supreme quality Lebanese and Middle Eastern food right at Al Seef Village Mall, Abu Dhabi. They have a branch at Al Ain too.

Zaytinya, the Turkish word meaning ‘Olive oil’, represents the Lavatine cuisine by entitling their setup with Olive oil.

From breakfast to Dinner, from cold mezze to desserts, and from seafood to meat, Zaytinya gets you covered with a broader range of delicacies that suits the palate. Use of fresh herbs in Salads, supreme quality lentils and spices in soups, imported dairy products in shakes, and in-house baked flatbreads set this restaurant class-apart.A team of chefs sources the freshest ingredients from various regions of the Middle East and organic produce from the local market along with herbs and spices from around the world.The prices of dishes are affordable, and they serve the Buffet daily from 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM at AED 60, and if you opt for shisha, you get the complete package at AED 80.Visit Zaytinya to experience traditional Levantine cuisine with flair and sophistication, to experience the famed hospitality, and to pay tribute to the Bedouin tribes that roamed the Levantine desserts and influenced the food culture of Middle East. Zaytinya can be your inspiration to explore the varying facets of Arabic food and lores of Levantine food culture.

Best restaurant ever , in all UAE we do highly recommend, outstanding service, beyond perfect food, master of Lebanese tasty mezza , very friendly and helpful service, chapeau bas for Omar and of course their Chef

Had a delicious breakfast! Lovely surrounding area.

Awesome food full of flavours

Very poor food preparation... even though the materials and spices seem to be fresh authentic, I suspect the food preparers have no idea what the final product should look or taste like... might as well have been thrown together by a defective robot. Not worth the wait or money if you order for delivery...

Amazing food, this restaurant has improved in quality and service massively since the new owners. Highly recommended!

Very good food and excellent service!

I placed and received my order just now and some of what i ordered is missing..tried to call them over 7 times but no response.. very very poor customer service

Its was fine ,not great

One of the best if not the best Arabic restaurants in Abu Dhabi!

The place is located on second floor at the end of the halfway in Al Seef mall.Went there couple times because of the food and service. Food was very delicious and taste like home made. Their small pitas are fantastic and falafel is very fresh and tasty. They have very good selection of vegetarian options.

We were at the Sheikh Zayad mosque, after we were done visiting, we were hungry obviously - so it didnt matter what restaurant we go to. So we see Zaytinya in a small mall. We thought we should try it.And i should say that the food was in fact really good!They had fleshly squeezed smoothies and i loved it! Their salad was okay, but the main tasted amazing.Definitely would come back/recommend it to a friend.

Good restaurant located in Al Seef mall.The food is good and the menu have some variety of Lebanese plates, drinks are fair with good desserts options.Seating is okay, they have smoking and non smoking area.

Located at the first floor of Al Seef Village mall, this is a nice Lebanese restaurant. The staff is attentive and professional, the portions are truly generous and the quality of food is very good. Open since morning, they offer breakfast packages. Shisha is offered as well with breakfast or lunch, as an combo package. Recommended.

Nothing to complain about. Great food with reasonable pricing and amazing staff! Keep it up!

Best Lebanese around for a fair price. Attentive staff and manager and a great Friday brunch especially for families with kids. Everything tastes fresh because they keep the menu simple to what they do well.

This is a nice restaurant for middle eastern cuisine. I The ambience is very nice and its cost effective as well. Even veggies dont get disappointed with options in cold appetizers. The juices and shakes are really good and recommended for sure.

The food was amazing,great ambience, friendly staff, excellent service. Definitely will come back

Food is delicious and delivery is fast. Highly recommended!

Very nice atmosphere and the manager is always there on top of his staff making sure the customer are attended to. Food is very good, me and two other colleagues at work agreed it is good, so i invited 7 members of my family for lunch over there and they all agreed the bbq quality is superb. Highly recommend you give it a try. Ample parking is available underground.

Mix grill was medium quality compared to price,i expected premium for such amount. the order came after 1:30 hours cold, i ordered it with french fries came with rice instead, i would rated 0.5 star for this meal. Garlic paste does not taste good at all.

Food was terrible, mixed grill, lamb and shawarma. I thrown everything in the garbage can. What a waste of money not to mention that I ordered the food and arrive almost 1 hour late. Dont know how this restaurant got 4 rating on Google!Note I have sent you an email no response!!!

Best choice to spend time with friends and family, and enjoy delicious food. The location, environment, friendly staff everything is perfect. Must try

Amazing night at amazing place

We tried the sweets and Morocan tea . . was not that bad .. but it was good experience

Budget friendly and good food comes in the same plate

I like this restaurant they have smoking and outdoor area, I have tried many dishes, alls tasty and very good experience

Very good restaurant

Good restaurant with tasty food and heart welcoming service. Reasonable prices and good food portions.

Not among the best Arabic food.The food was too oily and the mixed grill was barely done. Could be much better. Could be a good place for mazzeh and a cup of tea. But the main course is a no go, at least not for those who know how Arabic food should be like.

The best in UAE

We had finished our visit to the Grand Mosque and were looking for a really nice restaurant serving Arabic food and were really happy with this choice. The food was delicious and fresh. Especially loved the humus and babaganoush and the lamb arayesh. The Turkish coffee was just a great way to wrap up a really nice meal. The manager Muhammad was also very polite, friendly and helpful. Overall a memorable experience for us!

Loved the place, clean and neat, food was delicious and the service was very welcoming....would definately recommend it.

Nice place good food

Staff behaviour is very rude. Doesnt know how to deal with the customer. Staff attitude is pathetic. Staff is discriminating between the customers.

Zaytiniya Restaurant Lebanese food is to good Quality all food come to visit,

Delicious food, friendly staff and great ambience

Good food and shisha. They have this lunch offer with shisha and I tasted all of them, everything is amazing and delicious. Offer is one main dish, & soup, desert and thay can substitute it for salad if you want. You can add a drink as well for little extra. There is complementary fresh bread, olives and zaatar. This all for around AED 82 with tax.

A very nice place for a reasonably good middle eastern food that is reasonably priced. They have a smoking room where they serve shisha. They have a daily special menu for lunch. It is a proper restaurant not a fast food joint, so it is not a tight budget place, but you cant say that it is an expensive or an overpriced restaurant.

Bad bad food! Very bad service, I told the waiter to write our order and he was acting smart to memorize our order, half of our order didnt come right late and cold! In top food poison!

Tasty medeterian food. Lamp chops are fresh, soft and jucey. The fresh bread is so nice

Nice place and good food

Good food, nice atmosphere

Falafel is an Arabic dish - they sell 6 pieces for 22 aed - market price is 2 aed

Its not as before. It used to be excellent Lebanese restaurants.

Awesome staff, delicious food and nice place.One of the best meddle eastern restaurant in Abu Dhabi.Enjoy Za’atar and Zaytoun Appetizer

Its nice tast food and nice stuff

Lebanese restaurant fairly good quality food. There is a dedicated shisha area and an outdoor terrace for eating as well.

Food is very delicious 😋 & everything is good

I highly recommend Zaytinya to all lebanese food lovers out there! The food is great, staff are kind and friendly, decoration is very nice. I just love this place !

It is a decent place to eat, the food is ok. Not super or wow, just good.

Nice decoration with good staff and pleasant atmosphere, everything is perfect, dish sizes, freshness and taste, fatoush is excellent

Nice ambience, nice food, good service.

Very nice decor amazing staff and great lebanese food (fresh!). Good value of money

The restaurant has a very good atmosphere and decoration in addition to good taste of the food beside the quantities of the main dishes are not bad at allabout prices its really affordable and can be competitive to any other restaurant offering Arabic food

Food Taste so nice

Good Lebanese food and nice service.

Nice and delicious and the price are ok.Good for Saudi families.

I have been to Zaytinya twice, and it is a new favourite of mine.The first time, I went for lunch and had the special (Mahshi Kossah), chicken shawarma platter and some appetisers. The Second time, I had the chicken Tikka, the Cheese Manqosha and some appetisers.The quality of service is amazing. The waiter received us at the door and guided us to our table and the frequency of the times the waiter checked on us was just perfect. They were attentive to our little requests and had great attitude.The food was really good and not greasy compared to other Arabic restaurants. Even though the food was very good there was no edge or twist in the food selection; in another word, the items in the menu were regular and there were no unique touches to the dishes, and thats what brings the score from 5 to 4.In summary, if you want good food and good service and you are not feeling adventurous, Zaytinya is the place to go

Positive feedback:Good service, nice decoration, great staff, very tidy and clean.Freshly baked bread.Negative feedback:Food not to the expectation as Lebanese cuisine since I order lamb chops which not fresh, burned, dried and very thiny coming with steamed vegetables I didnt try it & saffron rice where there is no taste for saffron at all.Homous taste as little soured.In general I will give one star only for service but they need to improve their food quality to be inline with their competitors.
