    Chicken caesar
    Stuart M.

    Started with a chicken caesar. It took 25 minutes to get the food out. Lettuce and chicken were fine. Dressing tasted like it was from a bottle. Croutons were also pre made, but had a nice crunch. Our other dish was a falafel platter. The falafels were fresh , and enjoyable. The side of humus needed more tahini. The pita was premade. Okay food that doesn't go the extra mile.

    Looking for a quick place to eat. We ordered the chicken, beef and lamb gyros. There is a lot of construction on the road and parking is terrible but we found a spot and had a bit of a walk. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. It's really causal and a decent local place to grab a meal.

    No frills, small Mediterranean deli with walking distance of the zoo..we got 2 pita sandwiches (beef and lamb) and a tabouleh salad. Sandwiches were good with a substantial amount of meat. Came with a hummus sauce, tomatoes and lettuce. All is served in paper plates..again this is a deli. Not bad overall for a quick, budget lunch.

    14" pizza with pepperoni, sausage and mushroom - $18.45 pre tax and tip
    Chris C.

    This restaurant has been in our neighborhood forever but for some reason we've never tried it until now. Had a pizza craving one evening and suddenly remembered someone on the Cleveland Park listserv recommending this place awhile ago. So ordered online - they come in 12 and 14 inches and all toppings are additional charge, which makes it easy to mix and match your own choice of toppings. We had a 14 inch with pepperoni, sausage and mushroom, at $18.45 before tax and tip not cheap but quite good, medium thick crust, soft and supple, holds the toppings well - the kind that doesn't get discarded - you'd want to eat it all. Only thing to note is it takes just a bit longer than the time estimate given online when you place the order - it says 15 minutes but will actually take 25-30 mins before ready for pick up.

    The focus of Fresh Med is food, food and food! Wow, what a great place for Mediterranean food! Very delicious and very fresh! I was doing my taxes a couple of doors down and decided to give it a try during lunch time, I had to go again next day for more! It was SO GOOD. I even bought more for dinner. The service was also excellent. Very nice people! If you are looking for recommendations I suggest the Beef and Chicken Shawarma, Spinach pie, tabule, and baklava (check pics for reference). Recommended, and definitely coming back, even if I have to drive 20 min from the other side of town.

    Sliced Gyro
    Alessandra D.

    I ordered through Uber eats for pickup because I needed something quick. It took 10-15 for them to prepare it. I got the sliced gyro platter, honestly so good! A ton of gyro and fries. It also came with a small salad (wish it had a bit more salad), tzatziki, and a pita. Everything came to $15 Definitely would eat here again.

    Contaminated labneh
    Kate S.

    Vegetarians beware- Ordered from them many times, and twice have found meat in the labneh. That's disgusting, and a health code violation. I used to love this place but it's gone way down hill and if they're too lax with food safety.

Good start to the meal. The lamb kleftiko is the standout of the three. Slow-cooked until it falls apart easily, with the seasoning penetrating all the way through rather than sitting on the surface. It's a dish that rewards the time it takes to prepare -- nothing rushed about it. The kofte kebab holds its own too -- well-spiced, good char on the outside, moist inside, not dried out the way kofte can sometimes end up. Solid textural contrast against the kleftiko. Overall a strong meal across the board -- each dish distinct but all working within the same confident, well-executed style that Zaytinya is known for.

That made the experience feel even more special in hindsight. We walked in on a Monday night without reservations (clearly a theme for us!), not knowing they were needed. Thankfully, they were able to seat us in the bar area, which turned out to be a perfect spot for a relaxed dinner and a glass of wine. We ordered a mix to share: hummus, spanakopita, kofte kebab, and adana kebab. Everything was delicious, but the spanakopita really stood out. It was a bit unexpected--not layered like the traditional version, but more of a rolled presentation. Even so, the flavors were wonderful and elevated in a way that made it memorable. The only slight disappointment for me was the wine selection. The red wines leaned more dry than I typically prefer--I tend to go for something more fruit-forward--but it didn't take away from the overall experience. Dessert was the one miss. We were really hoping for baklava, which wasn't on the menu. Instead, we ordered the walnut delight. While it had all the right flavors, it didn't quite deliver the wow factor we were hoping for. That said, the food, atmosphere, and overall experience were still impressive. I was excited to learn that Zaytinya has locations beyond D.C., including closer to home in the Bay Area--so I'll definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend, and maybe make a reservation!

The serving size of the dishes I ordered were medium to small. The service was far less satisfactory than food. I tried the following dishes: 1. Complimentary pita: ~40g per piece. Not salty and paired well with the other dishes. Definitely get some! 2. Lahmacun: The lamb+beef mixture was tasty. It came with 4 pieces. 3. Branzino: ~6oz. The fish was grilled to perfection; juciy tender, and the skin was nicely charred. It was served with freh parsley and seasoned grilled tomato (salt+oregano I think). 4. Imam Bayildi: Half of an eggplant topped with sauteed onions and tomatoes. While itself was pretty normal, it went so well with the Ottoman rice. 5. Ottoman Rice: The true highlight of all the dishes I tried! It was basically Basimati rice cooked with dried apricots, raisins, almonds & pine nuts mix, and seasoned with black currant. Overall it was warm, earthy and lightly smoky. The apricot slices added some delightful sweetness and juiciness to the dish. Should pair well with Labneh, chicken and seafood. But to be honest, I can simply eat this stuff along for a whole meal! 6. Tabbouleh: They went against the traditional recipe by substituting the bulgur with quinoa and added some pomegranate arils. I liked the special texture of quinoa. The sweetness of pomegrante arils also enriched the flavors. However, I had to constantly spit the seeds when enjoying the salad. 7. Kofte: Adana style ground beef patties. Just like what I make at home haha! I ordered it as an add-on to my salad at lunchtime. It came with only 2 pieces which weighed no more than 3oz in total... Despite the delicious food, service was disappointing. The first time, the dinner, was Okay. While my food came out slowly, at least my server was aware of it and asked me how I liked the dishes. The second time, the lunch, was horrible. Even before I was seated, my server made me feel that he was reluctant to serve me, and emphasized that I had to order asap. "Luckily", I had already decided what to order. After I got my dishes, no one in the restaurant asked me if the food was Okay. And at the check, my bill was thrown onto my table. In comparison, the two ladies dining next to me came even after I started eating, but were greeted warmly and were given lots of time to decide what to order; not to mention that the staff gave them lots of suggestions, asked about their dining experience, and even chatted with them about sightseeing in DC, etc. Such discrimitory treatment is really unacceptable.
