Absolutely amazing food and service. I went here with a specific order in mind but decided to try the lamb at the last minute. Added on the borek and wine. Not a single disappointment. The interior is absolutely lovely. I couldn't stop looking around. The staff was also very attentive and friendly. One of the ladies even complimented me on the meal I put together.

My friend Michael and I were meeting for dinner to celebrate our birthdays. It was in November, but you know how it goes! LOL. Anyway, we were happy to finally get together in January, and knowing that I was way overdue for another Yelp review, we decided to pick something new for me to critique, so we decided based on some recommendations I saw online, to try Zeeyum Kitchen. Zeeyum Kitchen is located in a big shopping center on Market Street with plenty of parking. It's curb appeal was limited and a little hard to spot but I didn't care as long as the meal delivered. I would have to say the same about the inside. It was pleasant enough but nothing particularly inviting or welcoming. We were promptly seated and warmly welcomed and asked if we wanted something to drink. I decided to start off with my Diet Coke and was disappointed when she showed up with a can. No glass, no ice, and no refills. Ugh! The menu was kind of limited but filled with traditional favorites. I thought it was a little bit on the expensive side considering the atmosphere, etc. but nothing is cheap anymore. I had had a big lunch so I decided to go with the falafel salad. Although the menu mentioned all kinds of ingredients in the salad, it looked to me like mine was basically spinach and falafel. I was disappointed. Michael ordered the chicken and rice and vegetables and said it was tasty. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. We had a lot to catch up on and sat there for over 2 and 1/2 hours and I appreciated that the wait staff was happy to have us stay and enjoy our conversation. Maybe we would have wanted coffee or dessert but no one never asked. I don't mean to knock Zeeyum Kitchen, and I wish them the best of luck, but I will not be back. The quality and portion of my salad cannot compare to Odeh's or the hearty, well-priced meal at Nazareth Bread. I've also enjoyed Sarah's Kebab shop and Mykonos. Zeeyum Kitchen unfortunately is at the bottom of the list for me.

First time trying Turkish food and it was delicious! It's a family owned restaurant and the owner came by and made sure we were doing okay and the waitress was nice and helpful. There's plenty of seating and we didn't have to wait to be seated. The dishes came out at a reasonable time. I ordered the bugu kebabi and the presentation as you can see is impressive. It comes with rice and a salad which is nice. The lamb is tender but I wish that it was more seasoned. The yogurt sauce is came with adds a little flavor but it's subtle. The beyti kebab though was very flavorful and my favorite dish. The kunefe was also delicious. I would love to come back try their other dishes!

First time at Zeeyum kitchen! It was so delicious and authentic. I will definitely be back. I ordered the Lions milk as a drink and it was awesome. If you love aniseed you absolutely must try it! For food I ordered a cheese dip appetizer and a gyro. Both were yummy! Overall great place I will definitely be back for more!

The food is excellent, it comes fast. It's cute inside, service is prompt, don't let the strip mal fool you. This is authentic, delicious Turkish food.

Back for a second time and my youngest son now says it's his favorite restaurant. This place is a hidden gem! Both times we've eaten on a Thursday evening around 6:15 and sat right down. Family owned, authentic Turkish restaurant (decor and food) with lots of parking space. Both times we've eaten here, the owner has come out of the kitchen and made rounds, greeting and saying hello to each table. Love this! You can truly tell the staff wants you to enjoy the food and experience. We got a couple repeat dishes as well as tried a couple new ones. MUST try the cheese appetizer. Probably the best cheese I've ever had! The servers are happy to educated you and answer questions about their culture and the food.

Best food in Greensboro hands down! I'm a huge foodie, I've tried a lot of restaurants in Greensboro - and this by far was my favorite. Every single thing we ate blew me away, it was so fresh so flavorful, everything was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed really enjoyed the feta borek, it was insanely good. Wait till you get the dessert though, we had a Dubai chocolate cheesecake that they shipped in from Turkey that was killer but the real star of the show was the homemade baklava, it was juicy, crunchy and one of the best things I have ever tried. Will be definitely coming back! The service is really good, it's ran by a family and they were super nice. Everything came out in a timely manner, and overall 10/10!!!!!

Redirected when my first choice restaurant was full, I found this place without a lot of time to spare. It turned out to be a winner. A vegetarian menu yielded my falafel wrap, which was really a fantastic rendition with a cool mint sauce and just enough pickles vegetables and an abundance of falafel with just the right mix of moistness inside and crispness outside. A Turkish tea was a good way to wash things down. The dessert spread is the kind that would be hard to walk away from. I did not need dessert at the time, but walked out with a baklava that I ate later that was again texturally delightful, the soft and crispy layers being intermingled with chocolate and pistachio. There was quality on display, the vegetarian/vegan options were good, and I was happy with what I paid for such good food.

I had to stop and the time to give this review... I gave them a perfect score across the board back when they were in the city kitch. In this new location though... this is just stupid... this guy... literally brought his home and his heart into West Market in Greensboro. We are so lucky to have this here. Let's start by the decor and ambiance. Unbelievable how nice the interior is pieced together. Atmosphere is comfortable, lighting is perfect, the colors are soothing and inviting, and it's VERY SPACIOUS! The service... the ladies are unbelievably sweet, always look professional, and consistent service with a smile. They make you feel welcome! At first glance at the menu you might think, "it's a bit pricy". I'm a cheap person at times. I feel restaurants have priced themselves out of the market and taken advantage of this "inflation". But they could increase the price and I'd pay. DON'T FORGET! ***You're paying for an experience and a free trip into their home*** Honestly, anyone reading this review, I do not care where you are in the world. Make it a priority to come here! I promise, you will not have better turkish food in this state! I started with the dessert today. The milky baklava was exactly what I was hoping it would be, BUT BETTER. I can't believe they found a way to make baklava better! Then they took the overhyped, new trend, the Dubai chocolate bar and converted it into a moist, silky, heavenly goodness of Dubai chocolate cheesecake! I'm not a sweets guy by any means... but I put these away. And I feel zero shame! The desserts: 8/5 Next we got our main course. I always order multiple entrees. Today I got 2 new items! The kofte pide, and Sucuk with eggs. This will be my first criticism. I gotta be real folks, c'mon now! The eggs were a little over done. If it was runny, I'd give it a 7/5. But I'll settle with a 5/5 The kofte pide is great. For those that want it explained like you're 5, think of it like cheesy bread with his amazing top notch kofte! We also got the falafel wrap and the pide and falafel were top notch. Then the green sauce they add was amazing. I need a bowl of it! (I just called and asked and the owner created it! They call it green sauce. Make sure you get this with any dish! Kofte pide 5/5 Sucuk with eggs 5/5 (pro tip, ask for it runny, over easy) Falafel wrap 5/5 (get extra green sauce!) Alright, I think that about covers it! Thanks for coming to my Yelp talk!

Started with the Turkish Coffee! It was not to strong very creamy with a touch of sweetness. Then we had the borek with ground beef was warm flakey crust light and airy on the inside the beef brings in the flavor. Dipped in the sauce and I had the Sucuk with eggs a very simple dish the sausage had tons of flavor it cooked in with the oil which then season the rest of the plate. You will be scraping it up with your bread. We tried a couple of their desserts. The chocolate milky baklava was my favorite. Service was good. Our waitress was very knowledgeable. They had a little sitting area for you to drink tea or coffee. It was nice and the coffee and tea machine was pretty neat.

I took my wife go Zeeyum kitchen last night for dinner. It was busy, so I'm glad I made a reservation. We had a Zee's. Chicken salad, chicken wrap and the Simit (Turkish bagel) with clotted cream and cherry sauce. The food was delivered hot and SO TASTY!! The chicken was perfect and the seasonings are miraculous. But the cherry sauce and clotted cream with the simit --- they are to die for!! We licked the plates clean! Do yourself a favor and try this place, it's a hidden gem! And get the simit as well, it's heavenly. Enjoy!

The food is always good! I will go back until I try everything on the menu. This time I got the Kofte Platter! It comes with Turkish meatballs with onions and tomatoes on a hot clay plate served with pita bread, rice, Z's salad and yogurt. The service is always nice and friendly. I like the way you get to learn traditions and about the ingredients that go into the dishes. Order tea and the server told me if I didn't need anymore tea to put the tea spoon on the top of glas. That's a part of the customs in Turkey and that's good to know. But it is always a good family vibe when I go there to eat. Remember if you're in the area, stop by and give it a try!!!!!
