    a plate of food

    In the mood for something lite and healthy I got the grilled chicken with vegetables and rice. The portion was decent, food was fresh and grilled perfect.

    Freaking delicious sandwiches and quick service. Not a bagel spot though, so for sandwiches- yes!

Now that we live on the other side of the island - we cannot go as often - but every time that we do make the trek, we are greeted with open arms and smiles from the family who owns the place. My wife is a celiac, and has to eat gluten free - and no matter how long we have gone between visits, the matriarch owner remembers this about us - and just what our favorite entrees are! The kabobs... the salads... and oh, dear Lord, the eggplant and lamb stew... to die for! We all like to try to buy/support local establishments - and this one makes it easy because it is so damned good - and affordable. If you've never had Afghan food - expand your horizons and give it a try - you will NOT be disappointed. Great place for a gathering with friends or family. Top notch!

The price was a bit high, the service was alright, and the parking is side street parking.

The first time we ordered the following and all the dishes were to die for: Sambrosa - fried dumpling with seasoned beef, lamb, herbs and spices Bolani Sabzi - fried turnover with spinach, herbs, and spices Chicken Qourma - tender chicken with mixed vegetables, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, herbs, and spices with rice, bread and salad Firni - pudding topped with crushed pistachios The second time we ordered the following: Bolani Kachalou - fried turnover with potatoes, herbs, and spices Lamb Shank Kabuli - tender lamb shank with Afghan rice, carrots and raisins Spinach Sabzi - spinach cooked with chickpeas, garlic, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, herbs and spices The lamb shank was to die for and the bone marrow tasted so good. Today my other half was in the mood for lamb so I ordered the lamb shank kabuli again along with the chef combo which consisted of lamb chop, lamb tikka, chicken and fish over rice. The chef combo is probably my least favorite because it's more rice than meats. The meats provided were pretty much a tasting instead of a full kebab (e.g. chicken and fish). One of these days we will visit the restaurant in person.

    We got this delivered at work, Uber eats, I typically love this type of food, however maybe it is…read morebest to have it at the restaurant directly. The food was okay, and it was safe to say it came with a lot of food this combo. The salmon was overcooked and bland, pretty much everything in it was bland, except for the rice and lamb chop, it was thin and fatty. The chicken seemed overcooked as well, it was hard to cut into. The kofta was pretty good, a lot of flavor, small size. The salad it came with, looked so sad. A few pieces of lettuce, carrots and cucumber, that thing couldn't feed half a person. The white sauce tasted like sour buttermilk ranch. After we all ate, we felt awful, heavy, like our chest had some major acid reflux wont be getting this again.

I ordered the lamb chops while my husband had the chicken shawarma, and both plates came with rice, vegetables, and a fresh salad with a homemade dressing that was incredibly tasty and unlike anything we've had before. The drinks were homemade too - we had the lemonade and iced tea - and the presentation of everything was beautiful, right down to the mint sprigs in the glasses that added such a nice touch. We were served by the owner, Elias, who was warm, personable, and provided impeccable service the entire time. Even though we didn't order dessert, he surprised us with baklava on the house - delicate flaky layers topped with honey and pistachios that were absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a relaxing place to enjoy great Lebanese food, Beit Zaytoon is definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is comfortable, welcoming, and not cramped at all.

Then we were served Pita bread; not the soft & fluffy kind but more of a thin pita pocket type. This pita went so well with the spreads! Here is our menu (shared by 3ppl): ~ Baba Ghannouj ($10): outstanding. The smokey flavors were mouth watering. Recommended! ~ Fattoush Salad ($15): very good; fresh veggies with a fresh herb dressing. Another great palate cleanser ~ Samboussek Jibneh (feta cheese dumpling) ($12/4pcs): loved these! The dumplings are deep fried but weren't greasy at all. This was a treat! ~ Lahme Meshwi (grilled filet mignon cubes w.rice & veg) ($40): I thought this dish was a tad bit overpriced but great nonetheless. The filet mignon was so tender and prepared perfectly. The rice and grilled veggies were good also. ~ Kaftan Kebab (grilled minced lamb kebabs w.rice & veg) ($25): the kebabs were very flavorful but could have used a sauce. I ate some with the Baba Ghannouj and it was wonderful. The assorted grilled Vegs were great. Note that they do not serve tap water; must purchase bottled water. Beit Zaytoon is located in a small strip mall, so there is plenty of parking available! Recommended, and I would definitely return to explore other menu items!

I'll start by saying that aesthetically, everything looks amazing and the portions are huge. The menu is interesting. There wasn't SO much that I wanted (a strange amount of Panko-breaded options) but ultimately settled on the Pegasus wrap (which I see now isn't even on the menu on the website but is orderable?). It's essentially a lamb gyro wrap with French fries, onions, and spicy feta sauce. The lamb gyro I felt was a bit lacking in both seasoning and amount. I'll never really support raw onions in a dish, so that was a bummer. But what I think really ruined this wrap for me was the spicy feta sauce. I'm not totally sure the thought process behind this choice, but it doesn't work for this combination of ingredients. And I can handle spicy pretty well but this was really quite spicy. I would have much preferred a normal feta/tzatziki combo. And the French fries in every wrap/sandwich is a choice and kind of overpowered the other ingredients. That being said, I would consider going back for something else on the menu because the prices (especially for the portion) is nice.

I finally got the chance to go since I happened to be in the neighborhood for another event. They have some basic Persian dishes on their menu but I found the menu a little limited. But still, enough for us to get excited about. We samples the below items but in the end, I thought the food was average. Not bad at all; just average. Here are the menu items we shared (by 5 people): #3 Kashk Bademjan (eggplant) $8: great dish; well prepared! #11 Patoug Special Salad (small/$9): there was absolutely nothing special about this boring salad. It was just lettuce, tomato & cucumber, and nothing else. The veggies were fresh though. Definitely use the white and green sauces on the table! #13 Tah Dig (crispy rice) $11: this was a small portion size but terrific! #15 Torshi (pickled veg) $8: basic; comes in a small bowl. #22 Kebob Kobiden (2 ground beef kebobs; comes w.rice) $20: you have the option of white or brown rice. We had brown rice, which was very good. The ground beef kebobs were pretty good! Don't forget the white sauce! #34 Gheimen (Mutton Stew; comes w.rice) $20: small portion served in a small bowl. Tasty stew. Comes with a plate of white rice. -- Complimentary bread: served warm and was fantastic! Customer service was friendly and nice enough but we felt a little rushed at the end, even though the dining room was half empty. "Suggested tips": on the bottom of your check, there are "suggested tip" $ amounts. Do your own math to figure out how much tip you want to leave!! Warning: their "suggested tip" is based on the after tax and after credit card fee prices. (See my photos). This is wrong!! Tips should always be based on your total BEFORE tax and BEFORE cc fees!! (Why would you pay a tip on the tax and cc fees you pay? That's ridiculous!). Parking; plenty of metered parking as well as free residential street parking available. Note to management: Please do not keep the dirty dishes bin in your dining room!! Besides it being unsanitary, the smell of garbage penetrated the air in the entire dining room. Yuke!
