This place is in a great corner location, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly overall. We had a reservation to make sure we got a table, and the restaurant was completely full when we arrived. The only downside was that after being seated outside, we felt a little forgotten for the first 30 minutes or so. No one came by with water or to check in, and it seemed like the staff may not have realized a new table had been seated until we flagged down the outside host. There were also swarm of flies hovering around the outdoor tables, which another table pointed out and then we started noticing too. Aside from that, the experience was good overall. The inside dining area definitely had a dressier vibe compared to the patio seating, and once we were helped, the food made up for the slow start. read more

Placed a large order via Uber Eats since restaurant will not accept takeout orders directly. Restaurant does not allow any specifications when ordering through Uber Eats - for example, one person wanted one ingredient held from her salad. Uber Eats lacked description for Zaytinya's food items (such as the ounces of the drinks) and some items (such as the horta salata) were not as pictured. There were no extra napkins in our bag. The Coke came in bottles but we didn't receive any bottle openers. To top it off, we had three food items missing. I called the restaurant again to let them know about the missing food - they were unapologetic and didn't know what the proper protocol was to fix the situation. The service was subpar and the servings were small. Won't be back. The next day we had food delivered from another local restaurant where both the food and service were outstanding, unlike at Zaytinya. UPDATE: After writing the Yelp review, a general manager at Zaytinya emailed me the following: "..."The restaurant normally offers takeout, but the location was actually closed that day for a private event. However, since the order had come through, we tried to honor it. The mujadara and 2 orders of rice were missing because we hadn't prepped those items, as they were not offered for the buyout..." The restaurant knew on Friday what I was ordering for Tuesday. They had plenty of time to reach out to me and tell me they would be closed and wouldn't be able to fulfill the order. Instead, they knowingly sent out an order without all of the food for our group and charged as if we received everything. This shows a lack of professionalism and is disrespectful. read more

I made reservations for Sunday Brunch and was looking forward to experiencing another Jose Andres restaurant. We were seated immediately by the matra-dee before our reservation time slot. The decor is open and airy and there's a large patio if you prefer to dine alfresco. We wanted a variety of items and began with Hummus, smoked beet salata and baba ghanoush. Followed by Crispy brussels afelia, Chicken shakshouka, Soujouk pide and shish taouk. For dessert we enjoyed Greek yogurt with apricots and olive oil cake with champagne. The presentation of all the entree's were plated professionally, tasted outstanding, and service from our waiter was on point. I highly recommend this restaurant by Jose Andres. read more

Whoa. Horrible outside host for outdoor seating and even worse experience with the indoor host for indoor seating -- this was not an okay experience at any level. Zero professionalism, no hospitality, and probably way too over their head with how popular this restaurant is for Middle Eastern cuisine. Completely not cool as to how they treat those who try to patronize their business. Note to management: we understand your establishment has great reviews but please don't take that for granted. Please train your staff to treat every single guest regardless of party size with respect, professionalism, and hospitality. Not mad about not being able to dine here because y'all were "fully booked" but more disappointed with how your outdoor and indoor hosts handled the messaging. P.S. There were plenty of tables left unoccupied for "7:30pm reservations" but it was already 8:00pm -- so I take it the grace period for reservations is 30+ minutes?! read more

The restaurant is lively, bright, and modern. My colleagues and I met up for lunch. We were seated quickly. They served up fresh warm bread with olive oil. I ordered CHICKEN DURUM. It came with a tomato based salad that' was well seasoned. I'm not much of a tomato lover but ate it. I shared the chocolate molten cake which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It didn't make it to my pictures. It was tasty. I'll be back. read more

Visited here for brunch and I was quite impressed with this place! My friends and I decided to do the Chef's Selection for brunch and its $70 for 2 guest which is quite reasonable! They offered a wide variety of plates to try such as dips, meats, and veggies. Everything was delicious but my top favorites were the brussel sprouts and soujouk pide. My least favorite item was the olive oil cake because it was dry. Service was excellent and they made sure to refresh the pita bread basket when it was running low. I would definitely come back to this place if I was planning a trip in the area! read more

Solo diner review (3/24/26): I came to Zaytinya for a pre-theatre dinner on a Tuesday evening. I had reservations at 5pm and was surprised at how busy the restaurant was for that early hour -- come to find out, there's a huge concert at Capital One that night and they are stacked with reservations and walk-ins. The restaurant is full of natural light and reflects the Mediterranean colors of cobalt ocean blue and bleached wood. I sat in a reserved booth in the bar area and had a great view of the comings and goings. It seems like a great spot for small and large groups. It was my intention to do the chef's tasting menu for $85 and I specifically asked my server if I could do that in the time I had (5-7pm would still get me to my show with curtain at 7:30pm). He said yes. I did not. I'm not sure how much of the service lags were standard and how much was due to the overwhelming number of patrons there on a Tuesday night, but I was disappointed to have to take my desserts to go. Highlights of the meal were the Squash Hummus with toasted pumpkin seeds, Wheat Berry Kisir salad, Lemon Potatoes with the amazing roasted garlic yogurt, and Moshari Me Kastano with an delicious chestnut puree and super tender steak. I do feel like I needed some different textures to the meal as it went on - there were a few too many hummus and purees for me. However, I will give amazing credit to my server and the kitchen for adapting this menu (as much as reasonable) for my allium sensitivity -- taking the onions off the plates if possible. Verdict: I probably won't be back, but this was nice to try. And bring your appetite! (When I mentioned that it was "a lot of food" to my server, he quipped back with a grin that it was "a healthy amount of food.") read more

Found this spot on in kind and decided to check it out (use my code if you wanna try in kind!)... Make sure to get a reservation- I figured we were good on a chilly Monday night, but it was HOPPIN - even outdoor. We were able to sneak in a spot at the bar. The free warm fresh bread is tasty - with olive oil and balsamic. The halloumi pide had a strange flavor palate for my taste - trying to put my finger on it but it was like it had a hint of brown sugar and cinnamon, which, for me, doesn't go with cheese and red sauce. The soup was delicious! Drinks are bougie! Definitely expensive, but I'd go back (and get a reservation next time haha). read more

Zaytinya was excellent and a place I most definitely will visit again! My hubby, parents and I went on 2/7/2026 and enjoyed our experience. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly. I asked our server for some recommendations and although he was nice, he didn't give us recommendations vs. reviewing the menu in its totality. We opted for - Hommus Ma Lahm (delicious), Fattoush (amazing), Mushroom Kapnista (yummy), crispy brussells afela (yummy), branzino (good, not my fave) and a chicken dish I can't recall that was also good, but not my fave. We also got a rice dish that I can't recall the name of that was very good. Generally speaking, we were all quite impressed by the food and felt it was all delicious. Service was good and friendly, but we did have to ask for things more than once, otherwise it was all good! read more

This is our third time in this restaurant. Zaytinya is one of those restaurants in DC that people talk about a lot, and after dining there, I can understand why. The restaurant, led by the team of chef José Andrés, focuses on Mediterranean mezze inspired by Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese cuisine, with dishes designed to be shared. We went for dinner and decided to try a variety of plates across seafood, vegetables, and traditional mezze. The whole fish was the highlight of the evening. It was beautifully presented and tasted fresh, with delicate flavors that let the seafood shine without being overcomplicated. It's definitely a dish worth ordering if you enjoy Mediterranean-style seafood, and you eat a lot. It can serve two. The octopus was another strong plate. It had a nice grilled flavor and tender texture, which can be difficult to achieve with octopus. The char and seasoning complemented the dish well and made it one of the more memorable items we tried. The Brussels sprouts were excellent--crispy on the outside with a flavorful seasoning and yogurt-based elements that balanced the dish nicely. I strongly recommend it and seem to be one of the restaurant's standout vegetable plates. The spanakopita was solid: flaky phyllo dough filled with spinach and feta, a classic Mediterranean combination that worked well as a mezze-style starter. For dessert, we had the Greek yogurt with apricot, which was light, refreshing, and a perfect way to end the meal. The yogurt's creaminess paired nicely with the sweetness of the apricot, making it a satisfying but not overly heavy dessert. To accompany dessert, we ordered lavender mint tea, which was fragrant and calming--an excellent palate cleanser after several savory dishes. read more

This place was super hard to get into. Literally the doorway was packed with people. I went on a whim and was hopeful to get a seat at the bar. I had to wait about 15 mins but a spot opened up. I got a halloumi pide, octopus, and shish taouk. The cocktail had ouza and wasn't my favorite but it was different and had Moroccan mint. Everything was really good. The best thing was the shish taouk. The only thing I would have enjoyed more would have been more of the garlic toum. I loved the dishes and the decor. It was worth it and I would go back. read more

I got the lamb baharat, cauliflower, and imam baylidi-- these are the top favorites off the menu. I dont like other jose andreas restaurants in the area-- this place is 100% worth it though. The restaurant was my staple for consistency and effort. It was genuinely refreshing. Not a fan of the Turkish coffee, despite being a coffee fan. Service is good indoors, but they could do better. Ambiance inside is expensive and beautiful. read more

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and overall vibes were great. It is such a welcoming and lively spot, and the presentation of the food was beautiful which made my experience better. We ordered the whole fish which came with a fresh salad, sun dried tomatoes, and skordalia. Everything paired so well together and tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. For dessert, we had the Turkish coffee chocolate cake and it was absolutely delicious, the perfect way to end a meal! Make sure to have a reservation because it gets busy.

Great ambiance and service, and nothing to really complain about, the none of the food stood out to me. I came here with a friend we ordered 3 dishes each, with a flatbread and hummus to split. The best thing here in my opinion was the flatbread. Everything else sort of fell flat. read more

I'd been to Zaytinya years ago, but couldn't remember what the food was like. We were visiting DC this weekend, and decided to try it out. We started with house made pita bread - or 'puffy pillows' as they're called. They came with a small dish of olive oil. Aesthetically, they look amazing! However, they have no flavor or taste- I know they're meant for dipping into various mezzes - but the olive oil didn't exactly adhere to the pita. We were disappointed we didn't have a solid, flavorful pita bread to begin our meal. Next up, the Spanakopita. I'm somewhat of a spanakopita aficionado. I worked downtown (DC) back in the '80s, and there was a cafeteria near the office that made incredible spanakopita-every day! I had it at least once or twice a week. I was expecting a square of crispy, flaky phyllo filled with a mixture of spinach, feta, onions etc. Instead they served what look like a little hot dog - a fried roll - that had a hard exterior (didn't even resemble phyllo) from being deep fried - it had a mostly spinach stuffing, with feta sprinkled on top, and a green sauce which was probably spinach as it had no flavor either. It was, to say the least, below average. Next, the Scallops with sweet corn and turmeric yogurt. I love scallops - my favorite had been at Aqua Grill in NYC. I know it's not easy to cook scallops - they must be dry - high heat and a very hot pan to sear them sufficiently. These scallops were 'seared' on each side for what appeared to be a few seconds - they had no char whatsoever on the outside and appeared almost raw inside. A good scallop has a deep brown sear on both sides and is cooked medium - the interior should be an opaque white color. See the attached picture - it's the saddest example of seared scallops I've ever seen. Well, we had one dish left - Lamb Chops. They brought the Lamb Chops and we each had one. Surprisingly it was very good - it was a very flavorful chop that was lean and juicy with plenty of meat! Luckily, the lamb chop 'salvaged' our meal. Based on its reputation, I expected much more from Zaytinya. read more

It was a nice museum day at DC, we were taking a friend who was from out of town around. We postponed lunch because we were very focused on the exhibits at the Natural History museum, and before we knew it, we were so hungry! We walked into Zaytinya at around 4pm with no reservation, and luckily it didn't look too crowded. However, we were told they needed the table back at 6. Perfectly fine, we were happy to be seated and weren't planning on taking that long. There were a good number of folks sitting at the bar socializing, but wasn't super loud in the restaurant, so it was nice to be able to hear each other. It took quite a while for someone to come check up on us... nobody asked if we wanted drinks, and and there weren't already water cups on the table either. There were waitstaff at the PoS waiting around, but either didn't see us raising our hands, or didn't bother because we weren't part of the tables they were in charge of. Eventually someone came to take our orders, must have taken about 7 minutes. After the order, they took off and... missed our ask for water again. It wasn't until our first dish came out that we managed to catch someone and ask for water. As for the food, we got the Tirokafteri goat cheese, smoked beet salad, bantijian bil laban eggplant, seared halloumi, Egg pastirma pide, brussel sprouts, the lamb leftiko, shish taouk, branzino, and Galatopita. The food was good, a little on the pricy side - the biggest disappointment was the halloumi.... we got just two pieces of halloumi. Crazy. It was a bummer that the olive oil cake was only part of the chef tasting menu, because we've had it before and it's incredible! A shame the service was quite slow, because we intended on eating and getting out of there before 6pm but it ended up taking that long before we could finally leave. read more

Really great. Ordered way too many things to try and did not regret. The service was great and attentive and I love the decor and ambiance inside. I especially loved the dips and bread.

Ordered the Brussels sprouts, the sautéed shrimp dish, and a cucumber mint refresher. The brussel sprouts were perfectly flavored and the yogurt helped give it a refreshing citrus touch. The cucumber mint refresher was a little too sweet for my liking and was lacking the mint aroma. The ambiance is great, I was able to get a seat outside and enjoy the sun. Service was amazing, my food came out in about 7 minutes after ordering. It's never been done before read more

This was the first restaurant we hit on our DC trip. What a way to start things off. From the complementary thin and light pita to the Turkish Chocolate Cake, everything was a delight. They serve small dishes for sharing (mezze). Think tapas. So we got a variety of plates: Baba Ghannouge, Santorini Octopus, Bone Marrow Kibbeh, Hunkar Begendi, and a special they had that I can't remember the name. It was basically a tartare with lettuce cups. And of course the Turkish Chocolate Cake. Everything was a smash. The highlights for me were the tartare, baba ghannouge, and the crispy Brussels afelia. This cuicine was new territory for our son, so our server recommended the cheese pide. It was basically a cheese pizza, which he liked. Speaking of service, our server was attentive and helpful. read more

Awesome experience here last night! Our company meeting was in DC this week and our team arranged to dine here. What a great choice. You walk into the restaurant and feel the energy. The spices and aroma fill the room. The staff were friendly, attentive and highly efficient. Love them! We have a bunch of small plates that were served family style. I think I counted 12 courses at least. Everything was sooo good. I loved doing dinner this way because I got to try so many new, delicious foods. Often it can be intimidating to order dishes you don't know, so this solved and removed that stress. I honestly don't think I had a bad bite. I definitely recommend this spot. I come back here next time, except next time with friends. read more

In case you didn't know - this restaurant is under the James Beard Award-winning chef José Andrés and has won the Bib Gourmand. I came here for restaurant week 2026 Jan , party of 4 so we ordered 1 of each on the menu so that we could do family style and try everything. The quality of food is so delicious and because we came during the lunch menu, it was $35 per person. You will be full sharing all these meals and the warm pita is so fresh with all the different dips. Overall, I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean tapas. Definitely try everything! read more

Wow, beautiful restaurant. We stopped by for brunch right when they opened. They were able to seat us immediately. The food and service were 10/10! They serve house made pita bread that was super super light and fluffy with oil and balsamic vinegar. The Fattoush was my favorite! Flavorful with the fresh and sweet tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and herbs with his vinegary dressing. The spanakopita was creamy and light. The flatbread was simply delicious with the salty cheese. The Kofte Kabob was 10/10. Super flavorful, salty, and tender. We can't wait to try their dinner menu. Reasonably priced! Definitely a must. read more

Besides the beautiful diningware, come for flavorful little Mediterranean tapas. Recommend the brussel sprouts and the ashta French toast. For drinks, people recommended the 3 PM in Istanbul. I found it too lavendar-y/minty, but it was a unique taste. Recommend making reservations! They also have an amazing tasting menu, so recommend coming for that as well! They have a $70 for 2 brunch special, otherwise, $85 per person other times. Do note that the entire table must do the tasting menu. They also offer unlimited bread which is nicely toasted, airy, and served warm! Really lovely bathrooms and many beautiful dining areas read more

Exceptional service. Clean and bright atmosphere and amazing food. I've been to a few of chef José Andrés' restaurants and this is my favorite! Who doesn't love free pita? And boy did they keep them flowing! I split a few things with my friend: Branzino: 7/10. The salmon was moist but the cold potato spread threw me off. I wish it was warm. Cauliflower: 9/10. Delicious! Ask for extra sauce! Pita: 10/10. It's complimentary! Add meat and sauce to it for the ultimate bite. Htipiti: 10/10 yummy roasted red pepper sauce. Pairs nicely with chicken and pita. Labneh: 10/10 goes great with everything!! read more

An awesome New Year's Day dinner to kick off 2026 They have a pre theater menu that's a great deal & we had for apps, fattoush & the trio spread. For entrees, we chose crispy brussel sprouts & grilled octopus Santorini which was I believe the best grilled octopus we've had in a long time As there were 4 of us, we also ordered from the a la carte menu. Kofte kebab, Lamb kleftiiko ( our fave , scrumptious! ), shrimp & grilled chicken skewer. For dessert, we shared the olive oil cake & the Greek yogurt with apricots. We totally enjoyed everything as they were all very, very tasty! Service was quite attentive and those wonderful fresh and warm Greek pita just kept coming !

Came here for brunch and did the $70 for two brunch menu, and it was absolutely worth it. They start you off with unlimited fresh bread and bring olive oil and balsamic vinegar right away, which is dangerously good. Everything we ordered was flavorful and beautifully plated, especially the brussels sprouts and Sucuklu Pide aka the Turkish flatbread with eggs, cheese and sausage. For drinks we had ayran and Turkish cherry juice, and finished with jasmine green tea and a latte, which was the perfect way to end brunch. Also have to shout out our server Luke, who was 10/10! Super attentive and made the whole experience even better. The vibes are immaculate. The decor makes you feel like you've escaped DC and stepped straight into the Mediterranean. Even though we didn't sit at the bar, the bar area looked like it had a great atmosphere too. Great food, great drinks, and a beautiful space. Definitely coming back. read more

I've been so many times, and it is consistently fantastic. The labneh with za'atar may be my fave of the dips. I'm a big fan of the mujadara rice/lentil dish topped with crispy onions as well as the sauteed shrimp, perfectly cooked and served on a lemon/dill/mustard sauce that begs to be sopped up with some rice or pita. I wouldn't have ordered the chocolate rose for dessert- I don't usually care for rose flavoring, but it is fantastic. The rose ice cream is creamy and more sweet than floral. It's served with delish dollops of chocolate custard. The place gets super busy, so you def need a reservation. But even when it's hopping, the staff does a great job of taking care of even big groups. read more

We popped in here before the hockey game and was pleasantly surprised on his busy it was but how fast we were seated!! The nice lady at the hostess stand said they had outside seating available, so we said SURE! A couple minutes later they scooped us up and sat us in a little cute table near the bar. Very nice of them, since it was chilly out. Decor is very nice, especially like that it's dimly lit and has an open kitchen, which is nice to watch in action. Food was great, especially trying to get a healthier option before the game. Hummus was velvety and delicious. Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly and the chops, albeit small were very good. We really liked the puffy warm pitas that just stayed filled on our table. Dipping it in the oil and vinegar was a nice touch. Service was super quick, so if you are in a pinch but want a more upscale feel - this is it!! read more

One location of a nation-wide small-plate Mediterranean restaurant owned by Jose Andres I came here with a party of 4 on a Saturday night and the place was popping! It is a stylish place, but given the size of the space and the amount of patrons that they accommodate this also made it very loud. I happened to come during restaurant week, so we got a ton of dishes for not a bad price. The dishes were solid, my favorite being the brussel sprouts, but nothing that blew me away.

Celebrated my birthday at Zaytinya and it completely delivered. We started with the Hommus Ma Lahm and the Egg and Pastrima Pide. The hummus was silky and rich with spiced lamb, pine nuts, mint, and house pickled vegetables that kept it balanced. The pide was comforting but refined, with airy dough and a perfectly runny egg that tied it all together. The grilled octopus was tender with a beautiful char, and the branzino was fantastic. Perfectly crisp skin over celery root skordalia with almonds and capers adding texture and brightness. Honestly the only downside was wishing there was a little more of it because it was that good. They surprised me with a complimentary birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. Service was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive, and the energy felt lively but polished. Perfect spot for a celebration. Would absolutely go back. read more
