If you love the 'Chipotle-style' build-your-own concept, you have to try Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill. You start by picking a bowl or pita, then select your protein, rice, and toppings. I went with a chicken rice bowl, and every single topping was fresh and perfectly seasoned. The staff is super friendly, the space is spotless, and there's plenty of room for groups. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

This is very good Mediterranean make your bowl place. I got a chicken bowl with hummus as the base but there are other options as well. I added cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and pickles as toppings and tahini sauce. I want to emphasize that the olives are Kalamata and that the pickles are possibly homemade. The chicken is delicious - more savory than at other similar places. They added a couple pieces of felafel and a piece of pita. For drinks they have 3 rotating fruit-based juices in addition to sodas. Service is fast and friendly and atmosphere is fine - quiet with some Middle Eastern music playing invite background. read more

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill - Hummus bowl with chicken. - Mediterranean Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

So far out, I wish they had more locations. I am not a big Mediterranean girly, but it was amazing and did the trick. I got a pita bowl with lamb meat and toppings. Everything was so fresh made with quality, I could tell. This surprises any Mediterranean food in Columbus by far, or the best I have ever had, simply. It was very clean and nice inside. The service was pretty average. I didn't like the workers. They were kinda mean, but it is what it is at a fast casual place. You get what you get. I would come here for a quick bite to eat. read more

I ordered carry out catering for my work team......the basic "lunch for 10" could've fed 20 people.....it was a lot of food. The staff was super friendly and helpful and food was ready right on time. The meal was delicious and my team all really enjoyed it. Try the baklava....you won't regret it. read more

We had lunch here again traveling through the area. It's worthy. You start by picking bowl or pita. I did a bowl, salad, chicken and then the extras with a tahini dressing. My son went with a bowl, rice, beef & pork and then the extras. He also got a side of falafel which were very good. Flavors are well valences and not overpowering. We both really liked it. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!' read more

It's like the chipotle version of Mediterranean food! The people were super friendly and this food was so good. Highly recommend the falafel. read more

Zaytoon is a gem! I've been trying out more Mediterranean spots recently, and this is definitely my favorite so far. I would compare this spot to Agape with their menu items. However is my opinion Zaytoon beats them out. The ingredients are all fresh. The portions are spectacular. The staff is friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself is adorable. So many great things to say and call out about Zaytoon. And if I'm not mistake, this is not a chain and is local to Hilliard area which is also a plus. Spend your money at local businesses instead of chains ! read more

Oh wow oh wow oh yes. My mom and I were looking for some really good fresh Mediterranean options on our 2 night visit to Hilliard and Yelp reviews had us try Zaytoon. Thank you SO much fellow Yelpers for being tried and true!! My mom can't eat beef so was excited for the chicken option and I went double lamb-beef for my bowl. Between us we got all the toppings. I can't list what all we decided on because it was all good and so much. They do NOT skimp on the portions not on the friendliest service we've had in a very long time!! The atmosphere is clean and inviting for a quick bite or even a group outing. My pictures don't do our bowls justice, though. Yum yum and yum! read more

I really loved my experience here. If I lived closer, I'd probably come often. The food was excellent. My falafel and fried were sooo crispy. You can tell they definitely made them to order. The selection of sauces were also delicious & varied. Best of all, the staff and service were so friendly. This place was clean, bright, and had a very relaxing feel to it. Almost like a casual cafe...definitely nicer than your typical fast food spots. The portions were generous and pricing was very reasonable. Cheap eats without the cheap feel! The menu is very customizable, so you can get your meal exactly the way you like. Just keep in mind some of the items on the line up were an extra charge. They had some unique drinks both in their tea selection by the fountain area and also in their case with bottled drinks. What really stood out were the workers. They were so gracious and helpful. I saw a gentleman basically talk to every single customer. However, they were still able to be very fast and efficient. It had a family run feel to it. Definitely stop by and check this place out if you're in the Hilliard area!! read more

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Good, but different, options but simple, value with portion. Zaytoon was a random pick one day while in the area. I noticed it had many, many, great reviews and thought, "hey let's give it a shot". My girlfriend and I came here to try that day. It's like a Chipotle, Hot Heads, Piada, Bibibop, of the Greek or Mediterranean world. It features a line much like the other formats named. You pick the type of dish and select your toppings. We both went with bowls. It was quite a bit of food. I couldn't finish mine and I'm known for having a big appetite. As fast as your in, your all set and ready to chow down. While it's not like traditional Mediterranean, it allows options and combinations of "new things". We will definitely be back when in the area, because the food was good, the staff was helpful and patient with new customers, and the meal was great. I see why they have such a good rating. For good reason! Give em a try if your reading this! read more

Five stars for food, service, and flavor! While on a road trip, I searched "quick dinner." First suggestion- Zaytoon! Fresh Mediterranean. We were asked if it was our first time because we were studying the menu. They made recommendations & I said yes to EVERY ONE. I had the hummus/rice bowl with lamb/beef and a number of toppings. Seriously- could be 2 meals. We also ordered a pita with lamb & toppings. Let's just say, the bowl is clean. Spicy feta, well because why would You pass up spicy feta? Delish! Next time I'm tripping through Columbus, I know where I'm dtopping. read more

Ordering was easy like Chipotle. Choose your protein then rice or fries and toppings. Finally, pick your sauce. The food had good favors and tastes fresh. Overall, good experience read more

We enjoyed a stop at Zaytoon's at the tail end of a road trip. It had all three elements of a quality establishment: good flavor, generous portions, and friendly service. Mediterranean food done well is refreshing and uniquely diverse, and Zaytoon's delivered on this front. I had a good conversation with the two guys working as we paid for our food. They were personable and genuine. Looking forward to eating leftovers tomorrow. Highly recommend! read more

Best lamb rice bowl. From the rice yo the meat to the toppings, everything was tasty and fit together. The Tzatziki is homemade and very good. The staff is inviting, particularly the manager who talks to every customer like a friend. They are competitively priced with other restaurants. The inside was clean with adequate seating. read more

Like a Chipotle style mediterranean food option. You pick if you want salad, pita, or rice and then go down the line and say what you want as the fixin's. The gentleman behind the counter was really friendly. We chatted for a bit as it wasn't busy at that particular time of day. He let me take my time figuring out what I wanted while we talked. The food was tasty and very filling. I got stuffed grape leaves and a bowl. Eating the grape leaves and half the bowl, I had plenty left over for a lunch meal the next day. read more

Went to the location on 4th street in the Budd Dairy food hall. customer service was fantastic and the food was so delicious.I loved my lamb and chicken wrap as well As a small order of loaded fries. Guy gave me a sample of some fresh juice & my husband purchased that as well. My next month trip I'll try the salmon or shrimp dish with rice. Oh- that cucumber type sauce or whatever it's called is special. I got 3 extra to take home. I really loved it and I told them so. read more

One of my many new "rituals" in this "new normal" life of mine is to check out new (to me) restaurants in Columbus. You DO realize, oh neighbors to the east, how many WONDERFUL options you have over there that we here in the "field of springs," less than an hour west of you, can only dream of......!! Fast, friendly service at 8:30 pm, I imagine they get MUCH busier at lunch/dinner rush. They've got the "Chipotle" style make your own... here, with plenty of options. You can choose to make your selections into a bowl or wrap them in a pita, and they were NOT kidding when they told me I'd get MORE with a bowl... I had about 1/3 of my tasty Mediterranean mix that night, with leftovers for two more light meals/sides. Go for all the add-ins, they're ALL delicious, esp. the stuffed grape leave, spicy feta and falafel, but take note that some of those tasty options will add on to your price. NBD, but my "little bit of everything" bowl would up over $15.00 rather than the $10.95 starting price. No complaints though, still a great bargain, delicious food (even close to 9pm closing time) and you WON'T leave hungry!! VERY good, and worth the "hike" from Springfield!! read more

Literally the best Mediterranean bowl I've ever had! Meat moist, rice fresh, toppings fresh! 10/10! Great customer service, excellent flavor & fast! I had the gyro meat rice bowl, definitely recommend! read more

We knew this was going to be good by the clientele: all clearly from geographic places associated with this type of food. The basic idea is simple with a choice of bowl or pita and a range of fresh ingredients. If you like food from the Levant, this place will make you happy. And in the unlikeliest of places. One of the best meals we had while in Ohio. read more

I went here to try the hummus because I had heard it was the best in the city. I'm a big fan of Lavash's hummus in Clintonville. The restaurant is a Chipotle style Mediterranean restaurant. I made a bowl with a base of hummus, lamb, vegetables and tzatziki. It was really delicious with homemade ingredients, fresh and filling. The price was also right at $11.50. I'm sure I'll be back. As for the hummus, a solid tie! Both are delicious. The owner of Zaytoon's told me his uncle runs Lavash, so I can see why both are so good. read more

OMG this place is outstandingly delicious. A heavenly addition to the cultural food scene in Columbus! I just had my first bowl here last night and I'm already craving more. If I had to pick one fast food place to eat for the rest of my life, then this would be it! I hope that says how much I love it here. The staff is so patient and friendly, thus making this place feel very wholesome. There is plenty of seating inside and it's so clean and well maintained. I would definitely feel comfortable/safe eating here alone after a late night work shift! Located right off Hilliard Rome rd. Where you can stop by and grab food after shopping or running errands nearby! If you love Mediterranean food like me, then stop by! You'll have to add the garlic sauce/paste and tzatziki sauce in your bowl and you'll thank me later! :) read more

Saw this place on Facebook and decided to give it a try -- so glad we did! It's a Mediterranean grill with a build-your-own-bowl setup, kind of like Chipotle or Subway. You choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces. My spouse and I both went with fry bowls, and wow -- the fries were fantastic. I had beef & lamb (gyro meat), onions, banana peppers, and tzatziki. She had chicken, onions, tomatoes, diced cucumber, banana peppers, and tzatziki. Both were excellent. We also sampled the organic juices. One of the staff encouraged me to try all three -- Tangerine Cardamom, Dragonfruit Strawberry, and Fruit Punch. All were great, but Tangerine Cardamom was the standout for me. For dessert, we got large pieces of baklava. I forgot they're made with walnuts (which I can't do), but what I had was delicious -- soaked in honey in the best way. I had to stop once my walnut-sense kicked in -- one bite -- but I really didn't mind. We were stuffed and still had leftovers. We also picked up baklava for the kids and two pieces of amazing namorah (those were all mine). Bottom line: this is absolutely my new go-to gyro spot. Highly recommend! read more
