Here I ordered Lamb Kabsah with a side of salad. Lamb was cooked to PERFECTION! Rice was FULL OF FLAVOR! Salad was FRESH and CRISPY! The food made me happy and I went back home to sleep. I would give this place 4.5/5

We did an online pick up at Saba on a Monday night and our food was prepared very quickly. We got…read morethe lamb haneeth and chicken mandi, both of which were really tasty. But particularly the lamb haneeth was incredible! It came with four pieces of lamb, all of which were super tender! Even the rice had a nice lamb flavor. Speaking of rice, they do not skimp on it! Each dish is easily shareable with someone else. Our meal even came with a salad and the tomato sauce (this sauce is a must!). I will definitely be returning!

I would recommend this place to anyone with complete confidence; you simply must try the soup and…read morethe lamb. The staff is excellent. Good vibe . You will absolutely love the taste of the food.

I tried the Lamb Haneeth which is pieces of lamb slow cooked for 5 hours, served over rice with a few root vegetables. I LOVED IT! I took one bit and couldn't stop. I had enough for leftovers the following day. It was served with a lamb soup that was served piping hot but not much flavor. On my visit, they didn't have salad, which normally comes with it. No biggie. I'll be back! The complementary hot tea was out of this world good, perfect amount of sweetness and spice.

I ordered the Chelo kebab kubideh ($20.99). This entree had 2 ground meat skewers, a grilled tomato, raw onion, and rice. The skewers were not simply juicy and well spiced. They redefined how much flavor I could expect out of grilled ground meat, making others taste flat or missing something. The rice portion was absurd. I hadn't eaten anything all day, and yet could barely finish it. I passed out in a food coma afterwards.

Visiting after a few years...and not disappointed. Jose Andres restaurants are never a miss…read more Service is amazing, the decor is beautiful and matches the cuisine, try all of the dips, the seared halloumi with sour cherries, spanakopita with home made phyllo, can't go wrong with fries topped with garlic yogurt, and while i would typically order the octopus.. i recommend the lamb shoulder. Order the Lamb Kleftiko - tender smoked lamb shoulder with salad wrap and spreads. Lamb is particular and this was just so delectable - not gamy, not too smoky, and paired nicely with a recommended beverage. The creative menu options will not disappoint. The culinary genius, the well informed staff and immediate service are all wins. Whether you are a local, or tourist - this is a must to stop by!

I've been visiting Zaytinya for about 20 years and the food has never disappointed. The only bad…read morething about it is it's hard to get a reservation, but if you drop in during happy hour and snag a seat at the bar, you're set. The happy hour menu (M-F, 4-6pm) includes drinks, pides, and other shareables. During this particular visit, I shared hummus, halloumi pide, as well as the branzino and the tzatziki (these last two are on the regular food menu). For a quick bite and a drink, this is perfect! The vibe is always super super lively and busy, so be sure to make friends with your bartender if you sit at the bar!

It's a bit dark and outdated inside, and they do not sell alcohol. Their shawarma is great, I love their chicken shawarma wrap with fries.

Service was on point and friendly and the ambiance was perfectly casual.
