Service was great with Mari, she's a professional, very polite, very sweet. The food came out hot, I love that. The stuffed mushrooms were ok, just unappealing in a brown sauce. The chicken pesto burrata needed salt and pepper which isn't kept on the tables but hand ground by your server upon request. I would've liked to control that. The burrata was minuscule, only enough to accompany 3/4 bites. The chicken was pounded thin, heavily breaded, crunchy, unappealing. My wine glass was dirty and had a lipstick rim. No photos.

We kicked things off with the trio of dips -- beet hummus, classic hummus, & baba ganoush -- all silky smooth perfection. Then came the kibbeh & the crispiest wings ever.

Of course, no celebration is complete without something sweet, dessert was hareese and kunafe. From start to finish, everything was bursting with flavor & the service made it feel extra special.

The service was excellent, waitstaff would check periodically to make sure everything was okay! We order pretty much all appetizers and that was enough to fill our palate and did not even have to order entrees. The apps were like regular meals! The food was delicious and filling! We had Hummus, Tzatziki ,Calarmari, lamb beyti & chicken kebabs , steamed mussels and chopped salad with shrimp! The home made Pita was nice and warm and cut so you can dip it into the hummus and Tzatziki. We also used the pita to dip into the Mussels sauce too! Everything was cooked to perfection! Prices were very reasonable $$ We would definite come again! You should also try theie other restaurant in Waltham & Needham, they are also very good!

It was our 1st time and I had high hopes because of all the wonderful Yelp reviews. We had the Mezze plate and the Small Lamb Kebab plate. The Mezze was fine but the cheap lettuce and carrot salad put me off. My friend order the Small Lamb Kebab for $16.99. The 1 kebab stick was a joke. 4 pieces of toddler size lamb and a few small onions. I should have taken a picture because they were teeny tiny. Combined, the amount of meat on that plate was like 1/2 a pack of cards. There was also rice, salad and pickled cabbage. Needless to say my friend left still hungry. The owners definitely need to do better with their portion size if they are going to charge so much. We were the only customers in there and it was lunchtime on a Saturday. We will not be returning. Do not recommend.

Man. I don't know what is happening but this place is going down and quickly. I've been going here…read morefor years so I waited before I said anything, hoping it's just a phase. I waited months for it to get better but it just keeps on getting worse. Both, the food and the service is getting worse. The food quality is noticeably declining.

If I'm paying almost 40 dollars for a pasta dish, I'll go to federal hill and won't have to deal with a screaming baby two tables over...and the food quality is going to better too. The service went from exceptional to freaking terrible. The staff turnover is so high. It's so high it's very noticeable. They can not keep staff to save their life. Every Saturday it's a sea of new faces, confused and terrified. If they even remember you sat down...and many times you just wait and wait ...I assure you, they will mess up your order. It's not even their fault, they are all new all the time. I feel bad but it sucks when your whole dinner gets fudged up over and over again. Newbies that don't know what basic drinks are. I had to walk the server through putting my drink in the POS system at least four times in a row...this has been happening for 4-5 months now. I've been going there for at least five years, several times a month. I'm a solid regular but i spend 150-170 each time and it's becoming a total bummer. I have to explain rhe menu or what a simple drink I'm ordering is. They forget about our table all the time lately. I've had them ring in completely wrong food or tell me what I'm ordering doesn't exist...it does. Most of the time the food comes out wrong, or cold. I just eat it at this point because it's become a norm. The bill is almost always wrong. I give up. In search for a new go to. This used to be a gem.

This place really fell short for me…read more I was very excited to try, but I was left unsatisfied. The food is okay, the rice & meat lack flavor, and the amount of rice you get versus meat is obscured.... we paid $60 for two platters and fries. The fries were soggy and from frozen. The pita was paper thin and flavorless. I really really wanted to like this place, they seem to care about their food but I just can't get over how much flavor was lacking - I had to add my own hot sauce to save the meal. The inside of the restaurant desperately needs a revamp. The service was excellent and quick. I will not be back, there was no stand out and it was way too expensive for both the quality and quantity of food.

Hot food came on freezing cold plates which made it immediately turn cold. Prices were incredibly high for the food quality and quantity. But the one anecdote which really sums up our whole experience: I asked for a cup of hot tea (it was COLD in there). They came back around 4 or 5 times to ask me what kind of tea, if I want milk, should the milk be hot or cold, like a "cup" of tea or "something else"? It took about 20 minutes and the involvement of three people for them to bring me half a mug of hot water, a little cup of (hot) milk, and a celestial seasonings English Breakfast tea bag and then had the temerity to charge 9 DOLLARS for it. It was so utterly ridiculous. I'm usually willing to give people a second chance if there was anything good about the experience but this one is just a no from me.

| A true neighborhood gem with global soul…read more Visited Zayith with family and visiting friends after multiple strong recommendations--and it exceeded every expectation. If you love the vibe and culinary creativity of Sarma or Oleana, Zayith absolutely belongs on your list. We sampled a wide range of the menu--patatas bravas, murgh malai skewers, lentil nachos, skordostoumbi (Zakynthos-style garlic shrimp), kataifi-wrapped prawns, and paneer butter masala--and every single dish was executed beautifully. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and the Indian influences stood out for their authenticity and depth rather than being diluted for fusion's sake. Compliments to the chef for creating such thoughtful, seamless combinations. The cocktails were equally impressive--we tried the sangria and the spiced goose, both of which paired wonderfully with the food and reinforced the Mediterranean spirit of the menu. The experience truly felt transportive--taking us from the streets of Seville to Greece and India in one sitting. The ambience is warm and inviting, making it equally well-suited for a family dinner, a special night out, or a relaxed evening with friends. We're so glad to have discovered this neighborhood gem--and it's safe to say we'll be regulars.
