Jose Andres has always delivered at every one of his restaurants that we have been to. Staff were incredibly attentive and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The food was outstanding. We expected nothing less. The tea cocktail was a new twist and very refreshing. read more

Zaytinya - Seared Haloumi - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - New York, New York

Service was slow and left a lot to be desired. Our waiter dropped off our menu and came back 10 minutes later to take our order. We got our pita and labne 20 minutes later, followed by our mains 20 minutes later. My friend asked our waiter for more water, but he forgot and we had to flag someone else down. I understand giving us space to appreciate the food and enjoy each other's company, but definitely still think the service could have been more attentive. All that said, the interior was lovely. Vibes were great. The food was pretty good. Labneh was thick and exactly how I like it. The celebration rice was yummy, but we paid $10 more for the tiniest amount of chicken. Carrots were sweet and tasty, as expected. Brussels sprouts it's were delicious, I would highly recommend you ordering it to share. Overall, the food was good, but the service definitely needs to improve. read more

Dining at Zaytinya is always an elegant, clean, great ambiance, and well serviced visit. From the moment you enter, you'll take in the tasteful decor and the eye-catching bar area. The host staff are friendly, helpful, and are genuinely appreciative that you're visiting. Our Server, Elizabeth, did an exceptional job. She went above and beyond with her attentiveness, friendliness, and with her professional recommendations. Even the Artesian Water was sufficient to last throughout the meal. One of Elizabeth's recommendations was the Tzatziki starter (Greek yogurt, English peas, pistachios, dill), to accompany the delicious complimentary puff bread. The following entrees were shared, thoroughly enjoyed, and their presentations were magnificent: Sea Scallops (melon tzatziki, radish, sesame rose spice), Roasted Asparagus (smoked labneh, preserved lemon, za'atar), Spice Roasted Carrots (attiki honey, pepita dukkah, feta, mint, chives). The flavorful journey throughout the Mediterranean is something that I'll always treasure about Zaytinya. I'm not surprised that it It holds the prestigious Bib Gourmand designation, which is awarded by the Michelin Guide to restaurants that offer excellent food at a great value, and that it is located within the Ritz-Carlton in NoMad. read more

I enjoyed the food here but the ambiance feels a bit sterile and the service was slow. I came for my birthday dinner and the whole dinner took over 2 hours. The falafel was delicious, and so was the meat platter, but just know the platter is really only enough food for 2 people. You will need to order multiple dishes here but with the prices it adds up quickly. read more

This place is beautiful and the service was amazing. However the food was just so basic and a flavor you can find at the grocery store.

The food here is like a slightly refined Mediterranean cuisine inspired by Turkish and Lebanese flavors. I like it better than a regular Greek restaurant because it has more flavors. I deducted one star because portion for a lot of dishes are too small for the price. Like each small plate of mezze is $12; the entrée octopus, is a small plate that you'd think it's an appetizer dish. Service is impeccable: Our server was patience and understanding. The spacious has a huge, spacious dining area that can easily accommodate large groups. The ambiance is warm and welcoming with higher ceilings. Downsides: Small portion. Only one bathroom for a huge space like this. Side note: I like there's an option to pay digitally by scanning a QR code. Tips are automatically added for a large party (I imagine 5+) read more

Had a great dinner with Zaytinya in NYC. I've been to the DC location before, had a chance to eat at their NYC location. Food is under the same quality. And we also ordered couple new items we did not tried before - the half chicken. All food is light, well-balanced, tasty, healthy. And I like the vibe of this restaurant, great service, great drinks, and they did not put main entree and light dishes together. We had a chance to enjoy the fresh from oven pita mixing with hummus, and other sauces combo. Their chocolate cake is also delicious, not too sweet and having Greek yoghurt ice cream with it. Super balanced! Had a great dinner with my sister, we talked and enjoyed full 2 hrs dinner experience. They did not rush everything and tell us to leave in certain timeframe. Super chill and relaxed that night. Will definitely come back again read more

The carrots are small and underwhelming, perhaps if they were more tender, I would have enjoyed them more. The baba ghanoush is an even smaller dish than the carrots. The restaurant is gorgeous, and I am curious about trying the tahdig, seeing as none of the starters are anything worth ordering again. But the oddest thing was how our waiter didn't seem to know how to serve wine. I didn't recognize 2 wines on the menu served by glass, so I asked him to describe them and then asked to taste them both. He brought me 1 glass, poured the first wine, which I tasted, and then attempted to put the second wine into the same wine still contained an ounce sample pour of the first wine. Keeping in mind that this is the Four Seasons, and not my local dive, I just assumed servers would know how to serve wine.... Instead, I rinsed out my own wine glass with water for him to serve the second tasting. Odd experience all over, we loved Zatinya when it opened, but seems like it's starting to go downhill. read more

I loved this restaurant when I first tried it in DC, so I was excited to visit the New York location. For some reason it did not hit the same for me. The bread came out cold and the dishes were not as flavorful or exciting as what I remembered from my first visit. The lamb was recommended by the staff, but the texture was a bit chewier than what I had in DC. It was still decent, just not as tender as I expected. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and they were able to accommodate a large group with no issues. The only con is that there is just one bathroom, so be prepared for a wait. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. Reservations were also really easy to make which I appreciated. Overall it was fine, but the DC location was definitely the standout for me. read more

We had an amazing experience at Zaytinya! It was date night in the city so we chose Zaytinya for dinner and drinks. We had a reservation but didn't seem to need it as we got there at 5pm. We were immediately welcomed by the server and offered bread and we order a side of hummus! The bread was fabulous and we were continually served bread when we ran out with our hummus. I had the shrimp tapas plate which was very good but I'd suggest ordering it as an appetizer or a shared dish as it is quite small. The lamb burger was great and came with a side of fries. I'd definitely suggest this place for a date night as the prices are quite high. Quality for food is amazing! read more

Found this spot by random and loved it so much we had to come back a 2nd time and were not disappointed. We had reservations and ran late, but were able to get a table eventually. It's located in the Ritz-Carlton on the corner. The inside is very nice; however, it's a bit cramped with the seating. Everything we had was delicious, from the food to the drinks. The portions are a bit on the smaller side for some dishes, given the price, but still worth it. Eventually, I will try the whole menu at this rate, lol. Definitely one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants to visit. read more

This is an absolute gem. Went to dinner here on Valentines day and I have to say, this place is precisely stellar at combing creativity, understanding of the cuisine, ambience and impeccable service. The food is delightful, small plates, expertly done, plated with care. How can hummus be amazing, when the whole city is filled with places where you can get hummus? Well, they do it better, season it better, take the time for the consistency to be perfect. I also liked prtakal salatasi, brocolini and octopus. Seared Salmon was like none other. I cannot forget their amazing drink menu with 3pm in istanbul and Ankara Rye Club being my favorite. Lastly but definitely not least, Jessica our waiter was instrumental in ensuring a higher level dining experience. She was friendly, guided us through the menu and made my son smile. read more

This review is for lunch Excellent iced tea, made from Tiryaki Çay black tea. Includes refills. First impression from the watermelon salad - skimpy portions, but delicious. Then the sandwich and cauliflower came out - much better portion size and also delicious. Service was very good; the servers worked as a team. From perfect seasoning, mouthwatering flavors to bright contemporary decor, I recommend this restaurant. Jose Andres seems to own Tin Pan Alley (NW corner of Broadway and W 28th St), at least the bottom of The Ritz hotel. read more

Came for summer 2025 restaurant week $30 lunch and was happy with the experience. Beautiful decor. Perfect for any kind of gathering, from business lunch to a romantic date. Gets loud during peak hours, so lunch and dinner times will get you to strain your voice a bit. Staff were courteous. My only complaint is feeling rushed. The plates were not even empty, as staff tried to whisk them away. Not a fan of such "efficiency" above guests' pace. Had one of the best cocktails of our lives: $22 "3pm in Istanbul" was superb. Perfectly balanced. Strong, refreshing, tasty, slightly tart & gently sweet. Definitely get this. I do not drink, but I would return just for this "3pm" at any pm of the day. From 2025 restaurant week $30 lunch, we had the brussels sprouts [substitution for asparagus], which was a perfect dish and my favorite of the entire experience. Big portion and soooo satisfying. That fennel really elevated the taste. Perfect crunch. Would return for this again. Watermelon feta salad was simple, tasty, not a standout, light and refreshing. For main, the chicken skewer had only three tiny pieces of chicken, which felt very underwhelming for an entre. The falafel wrap was big, but mostly wrap and cherry tomatoes, very little falafel. Came with a small fattoush salad. Chocolate sesame chip cookies to go were tasty. read more

The restaurant is very pretty and has a luxurious upscale ambiance. I personally did not like the flavors of the food, they were a bit too intense in flavor and boldness for my taste and leaned heavily on the vinegar and tangy side. Overall I felt the flavors of the food were not well balanced. We did the Christmas prefix menu. The lamb was slightly dry, and the dessert didn't stand out. The pita bread is really delicious. The highlight of the evening was the wine pairing -- the selections were excellent, and the sommelier was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. Our server also provided great service. read more

When it's summer time, I find myself craving refreshing dishes of Mediterranean cuisines. Zaytinya fits the bill and offers a more refined experience than some cozy family-style restaurants you will find in other parts of the city. Despite being housed inside a Ritz Carlton, the dishes here are thankfully not outrageously priced. Our server was friendly and took time to explain the regular menu to us. We opted for the summer restaurant week menu and added an order of baba ghannouge. What I found interesting was that the baba ghannouge was served first, then the first course and second course dishes were served all at once. I enjoyed the spread a lot as it had a texture that's smooth and not too thick. The bread they served were more like airy crisps than your regular chewy pita bread, which contrasted nicely with the spread. For our first course dishes, we ordered the Brussels sprouts (they ran out of the roasted asparagus) and the watermelon salad. The salad, although refreshing, lacked presentation that I was expecting. The Brussels sprouts were either fried or baked at a high temperature that the leaves became as crispy as chips; which tasted awesome against the crema on top. For our second course, we ordered the chicken skewer (shish taouk) and the soujouk pide. The chicken tasted good but I was underwhelmed by the fact there were only four small pieces. The soujouk pide was like a pizza with sausage and runny egg. I loved how flaky the dough was; it almost reminded me of a croissant. At the end of the meal, we asked to take our tahini chocolate chip cookies to go as we were quite full already. read more

I've been to Zaytinya many times at several locations around the US (namely DC, LA, & NYC). This location is now attached to the Ritz Carlton hotel in the Nomad/Flatiron area. There are a lot of walkable streets and shops around the restaurant, but you certainly feel transported into a sophisticated atmosphere when you step into the establishment. It is spacious, clean, and bright with a large dining area and bar area. The dishes are all shareable, and I think 2-3 dishes per person would suffice for the average meal. My favorites are the hummus (pro tip: highly recommend requesting it with crudités!), beet salad, falafel, and grilled salmon. The food is fresh and very well prepared. The service is quick and the customer service has always been stellar. The staff are very friendly and accommodating with any preferences or dietary restrictions. I typically come to Zaytinya with groups, as it can be a lively experience over drinks and shared plates, but you can have date night here as well! Looking forward to returning soon! read more

I've heard so much about this Mediterranean spot from friends so I had to give it a try. Located inside the Ritz and right in Flatiron, it's a beautiful restaurant that's good for a date night or nice dinner with friends. Service here was relatively quick and nice. We got their htipiti, brussel sprouts, eggplant imam bayildi, and chicken muhamarra. Everything was delicious. We got started with their complimentary, fluffy and freshly baked pita and olive oil, which was delicious. It was light, fluffy, and stuff crispy on the outside. The htipiti was the perfect pair to that, and a great taste of summer tomatoes. The crispy brussel sprouts were delicious with its barberries and garlic yogurt. The half-roasted chicken was good, but I felt that it was a bit dry. And, the eggplant imam bayildi was also good, but maybe not for me. Overall, I don't think this was a bad spot for dinner and worth the price (about $50 with tip for two people and four dishes, we left very full). read more

Came here for a work dinner and immediately knew I needed to come back. First, the restaurant is beautiful. Very open and airy and the color scheme is one that I love and find very relaxing. The vibe is upbeat, with great music and energetic staff, but I still felt very at ease the entire meal. I had a terrific cocktail to kick things off, 3 PM in Istanbul. Considering I'd just returned from Istanbul 48 hours before I ate here, it was apt and the cocktail was delicious...refreshing and light. We had a menu of small plates and everything was good, but I was full by the second round. Standouts were the puffy bread, htipiti, the octopus, brussels sprouts, pilaf with lentils, lamb, chicken and spicy eggplant. Service was spectacular all evening and they handled our big crowd with ease. We had an almond cake for dessert which was very good as well as a yogurt thing with sour cherries which I didn't try because I was so full but received rave reviews from my colleagues. Since this was a work dinner, I wasn't paying but I looked up the menu on the website and this isn't cheap, but maybe I can come back during restaurant week or something because I really enjoyed my meal here. read more

Wow! I'm here with a bachelorette party & we had the most amazing time! Everything from the cocktails to the fresh bread to the desserts was beyond delicious. Truly transport you to the Mediterranean. The interior is bright with a classic could be on the water vibe. The place does get very busy so if you don't want to be in the middle of it, all ask for a table to the side or in one of the corners. For our meal, we went with the chef's experience menu. If you're with a large group or if you want to try a lot of different items from the menu, this is highly suggested. First round included all of the dips and grape leaf dolmades. They bring out one plate per three guests so we got two of each plate. Second round of apps included falafel, these incredible sautéed shrimp and a beet salad. Personally, I could've skipped the falafel and beet salad, they were very tasty, but not my favorite on the menu. The shrimp were to die for! Finally, with our mains, we didn't upgrade to get the lamb chops (which in hindsight was perfect because there's so much food) so our meal consisted of these beef meatballs in a stewed red sauce, chicken skewers, and crispy brussels sprouts. Everything was really delicious, I could've eaten an entire plate of the brussels sprouts by myself. One of our guests was a pescatarian, so they kindly switched out her personal means for a piece of salmon and the most incredibly cooked scallops. 100% order the scallops if you're ordering à la cart! We also had someone on our table that was allergic to nuts and they went above and beyond accommodating, both people in our party. Giving a nut free or meat free version to each of them. Dessert was good, the almond cake would've been much better if warmed, but was still delicious. Had a great citrusy note that we would've never guessed it would have. The other dessert was a sour cherry yogurt parfait, delicious! read more

I enjoyed the food here. We ordered five dishes for two people - grape leaves, imam bayildi, falafel, cauliflower, and halloumi pide. Everything comes with a few fresh pita breads. Falafel - probably my favorite dish. Crispy and full of pleasant spices. It's served with fresh herbs and creamy tahini. The pickled vegetables and the sweet cherry tomatoes brought the dish to standout levels. Imam bayildi - the long-cooked tomatoes and eggplant made for a comforting dish, with savory and subtly sweet flavors. Halloumi pide - it really just tasted like a decent cheese pizza. Not bad a bad thing, but I'd probably get one of the other options next time. Cauliflower - great texturally, the cauliflower was perfectly cooked. The creamy herb tahini underneath was also nice. I felt there was a bit too much of something bitter, maybe turmeric. Grape leaves - tart and fresh, on a creamy bed of labneh. Well-executed. Everything worked out to around $52 each after tax and tip. The server recommended 3-4 dishes per person, but I think you'd need to be super hungry to be able to finish that much food - we ended up with some leftovers even ordering less than that. read more

This is one of my favorite Mediterranean places in the city. Ambiance: They have such a nice set up. It's a huge restaurant but each section feels intimate. They have these nice big booths that offer privacy and comfort. I love the color schemes and the decor. The bar is beautiful. Food: They have so many veggie options that we had a hard time picking what we wanted. Every single dish we got was well flavored and perfectly seasoned. The pita bread was freshly made and still hot when we got it. One of my favorite dishes was definitely the mushrooms. Service: Service was okay. They were clearly very busy but they took way too long to come and fill our water glasses and take our order. It took awhile for our food to come out as well. Price: This is on the more expensive side but the portions are decent sized. read more

We liked the falafel, labneh, baba ghanoush, halloumi, brussel sprouts, bread and cauliflower. The chicken skewer was good but seemed a little overpriced. The Bantijian Bil Laban (crispy eggplant) wasn't our favorite. The texture was a little strange and flavor was lacking. We really didn't like the salmon. We almost ordered 2 and were very relieved that we didn't because we weren't even able to finish one. It's hard to believe that they would intentionally serve the dish that way so maybe something went wrong with it the night we were there? read more

Very gluten friendly!!! My friend has celiac and the waiter was very knowledgeable about what she could and couldn't eat and had suggested work arounds to make the meal enjoyable for both of us! We started with the hummus and he put the chili oil on the side so I could still enjoy. They even had GF bread for her and normal bread for me. We started with halloumi and Brussels which were also good! They cooked it slightly different for us to avoid cross contamination but still very tasty! We also shared lamb and chicken kebabs that were very tasty. Sharing plates here is definitely the way to go. The meat mezze was quite tiny and only had a few bite each but it was perfect sharing size for 2. The restaurant itself is very big and has a very nice bar.

Perhaps one of the worse restaurant meals I have had in all of 2025 and I dine out often, so much that I was on Resy's 2025 top 10% reservations list. Zaytinya does not reflect Jose Andres' top quality and elevated cuisine. The service was sub par Nd the food was terrible; unsalted veggies and overcomes meats. Servers and runner were less than service oriented. We tried a flat bread and the dough was undercooked and not seasoned. Tried the mixed grill and the meat was overcooked. Tried the broccolini and it had no salt, just a quick blanch. Martini was terrible. Service was terrible. Unhealthily cutlery practice, where they just leave knives and fork on table surface with no protectants.... Exposed to everyone's dirty germs. Ambiance was ok. Terrible read more

3.5 stars . This is based on my visit in September. Food: 3 stars Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 4-5 stars The space is gorgeous and the service was great, but the food was so-so. It's all top of style, so we tried several dishes, but nothing really wowed us. Regarding service, thank you to the server who heeded my notes in the OpenTable reservation about our celebration! We really appreciated it! Service was smooth except for one glitch from one of the table runners who brought us the wrong dish, so we had to wait a while for the right one. Other dishes took a little while to arrive also. Note that they only accepted physical credit card payments at the table, so in order to use ApplePay, I had to follow the server back to their station and buzz it at the terminal there. Oddly, there is only one bathroom -- a single stall unit -- for the entire restaurant. However, this restaurant is part of the Ritz Carlton hotel, so I had no problem walking farther back into the hotel and up the stairs to use the swanky restrooms there. Just note that it is kind of a lengthy walk. But if I didn't, I would've waited such a long time in line for the restaurant bathroom. read more

Visited Zaytinya with a friend on a Friday evening. It's large, beautiful restaurant on a corner with floor-to-ceiling windows, modern lighting fixtures, and an airy, upscale vibe. I arrived first, and the hostesses were very welcoming. I waited at the bar, which was stylish and comfortable, a nice spot for a drink even on its own. The restaurant was packed (8pm on a Friday), but service was good. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. I ordered the Za'atar Margarita, which was fun and different, with a little salty with foam on top. My first came up, and the second was on the rocks, both good, though pricey at $21 each (typical NYC cocktail cost). For food, we shared a few dishes: a dip trio (off-menu, but our server offered it: hummus, baba "ghannouge" and htipiti), which came with very light, airy pita. We also split the Adana Kebab (lamb, $21) and the Fattoush Salad ($12). Everything was enjoyable, though not especially memorable. I've also been to the Zaytinya in D.C. and felt similarly, nice space, good service but food not particularly impressive. Overall, a good option if you're in the area and want a stylish, moderately priced spot for dinner or a work meal. But if you're looking for truly standout Mediterranean, there are better choices in the city. read more

Rating one star down because of service. At breakfast and dinner there were inadequate number of servers. Waited 10 minutes at breakfast before approaching host to send a server to table. At dinner server Joseph showed promptly and then we waited 20 minutes before a glass of wine was brought to table - and only after tracking down Joseph who was running around the restaurant. Never brought bread. Service was not gracious, there was a vibe of too many people being seated at same time and too many servers and food runners overwhelmed. Maybe it was time for some gummies? Food was excellent. Large portions. Tasty. Served hot, which is a plus. But the wait was annoying and must be noted as it impacted the meal experience. read more

I had been to Zaytinya before, but was excited to go back at my parent's suggestion during their visit to NYC yesterday. The interior of this place is stunning, with lots of natural light, plants, and funky blue and white decor. The staff are always lovely and accommodating, taking coats upon arrival. Our waiter was also extremely attentive and helpful at every stage of the meal. I ordered the 3pm in Instanbul cocktail which I really liked. It was fresh, sweet, and slightly tart because of the grapefruit. There's also mint tea infused vodka, aperol, vanilla, and lime in the cocktail which made it the perfect transition to spring drink ($22). The meal starts with pita, which in my opinion, needs the olive oil to not be dry. We also ordered the grape leaves dolmades ($15) as an appetizer which were good, but truthfully, they weren't the best I've had. We had the family style kebab platter as an entree which includes lamb, koftee, chicken, and adana kebabs paired with tomato, onion, and garlic toum ($72). This was great, however I definitely recommend dressing the meets with the garnishes. To finish out the meal, we ordered the Turkish coffee molten-lava cake ($14) which was good, but I would have preferred more ooey gooey chocolate in the center. Overall, an enjoyable experience and I'm happy to have shared it with my parents! read more

I came here last night to celebrate a late birthday dinner with a friend, per the recommendation of a coworker who works closely with the hotel. This stunning José Andrés restaurant is located inside of a Ritz Carlton but is easy to find with its own street entrance. I requested for two glasses of cava to be served up upon our arrival and the staff was kind enough to comp it for the celebration! We were then served complementary bread with olive oil and some vinegar to start. We both ordered cocktails, his was the Minoan Sidecar and mine was the Olive Branch Martini. I have always been on the fence about that stuff all of martinis, but this one completely changed my mind and was so easy to drink! I highly recommend checking out the menu ahead of time, especially if you're not familiar with Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine, as a lot of the names were unfamiliar, however, you truly can't go wrong. I had the Avgotaraho which was like nothing I've had before. It was very interesting and had a great fishy flavor, but wasn't very filled. He had the bantijian bil laban, which was unique and had so many great textures with the perfectly crisp eggplant and all around delicious and a great starter. We both shared the soujouk pide, as my friend mentioned this Turkish sausage meat was difficult to find and it was outstanding! For dessert, we split the Turkish coffee chocolate cake which was small yet rich and decadent. Perfect to split and the perfect ending to a fantastic night. Our servers were helpful, attentive and kind and I would absolutely return here!! read more

Have to say that just about bite of every dish we ordered, and we ordered a lot of dishes, was delicious. Service was great. Two negatives I need to mention but first let me repeat how delicious the food was. Negative 1 - There is only one unisex bathroom for the entire restaurant Negative 2 - Watch your drinks. They served a tequila rocks with maybe a 1/4 ounce of the liquid. Not sure what that was about but they quickly rectified that as they also did with a very watery White Russian. Very nice atmosphere read more
